Rachel's early death last year was such an unthinkable tragedy. I'd already accepted her request to be a judge for this prize - it's right and proper that it's been renamed after her.

One of the deep joys of my life is wheeling Pete out to have a "Marshall McLuhan moments" about things like this in pubs
Spotted in Belfast Airport - apparently Heverlee “premium” pilsner is brewed to the “original recipe” which dates back to 1129. Surprised by this, given that lager yeast didn’t emerge until the 15th century and pilsner didn’t exist until 1842. ABInBev really don’t give a shit about beer or drinkers.

It was only a matter of time. Was in one of their bars yesterday for the first time in years (there was nowhere else to go.) soulless and empty. Punk IPA undrinkable.

Oh no, at most I’ve been known to keep the sticker (still attached to the shrink wrap) with the LP if it’s particularly significant. Prince’s Around The World In A Day had a ‘boy with balloons’ sticker attached which I discovered recently I still have inside the sleeve.

The rainy Sunday afternoon when me and PB stubbled upon Sông Quê was one of my most memorable meals, total eye opener. I still have their business card on my pinboard above my desk.
For today’s @ftweekend.com I am at Song Que Pho Bar, a spin off after 24 years, from the much loved Song Que cafe on the Kingsland road. I luxuriate in the restorative joys of a steaming bowl of pho and make the modest proposal that it should be available on the NHS www.ft.com/content/3bb4...

I tend to put the hype stickers onto a polythene protective outer sleeve. The price stickers and ‘Our Price’ type stickers were carefully removed asap. Although a few did slip the net.

Crossing the bridge over the railway line just as a freight train went past - box after box after box after box of cold gun metal grey, stretched around the corner and out of sight. Looking like a calendar of 2026 as seen from space.

This article proves Wenders actually point, in that art affects change by building empathy . These films caused some political action because audiences empathised with people and their situation not because the films laid out political edits or policies

Here's a thing , just seen a video from a #vinyl Collector account of them opening some new vinyl. They removed the shrink wrap etc and before putting the lp into presumably mylar slipcase etc , they put the "hype" sticker onto the cardboard sleeve. Does anyone else do this?

Just watched the whole of Women's #SnowboardCross Just wonderful proper drama , whole races changing in the last 1/4 of the track. Plus the racers seem to have an unaffected sense of joy and sporting goodwill #WinterOlympics
#SnowboardCross as World of Twist once said
"There is nothing you can do because there is no solution
You gotta get down to the noise and confusion"
