Pack Up - Eliza Doolittle (2010)
1 of 2

Blending elements of an old wartime singalong, a Prince Buster ska tune and with gospel and soul singer Lloyd
Wade to make a jazzy pop tune. One more to come from this album.

Storming down to the charity shop I bought my copy from to complain at their negligence for not pointing this out to me. Only by pure good fortune have I not had an accident in my usual reading spot.
Amazon has placed a VERY specific product warning on the published edition of the Kenneth Williams diaries. The incident that prompted this surely deserved more media attention.

Finally got around to watching Polite Society and fair enough you were all right it’s really good. Also I have a new favourite support character in cinema.

An underappreciated element of Bullseye is the often batshit questions

I also very much did not know this piece of trivia

Love this one. Vaughan is superb.

Going to be a long old remainder of the season for the lasses I fear. No investment in the team and a squad that’s weaker than it was at the start of the window when we already looked well short. Don’t think we are getting the most out of what we have either and that’s a bad combination #SAFC

Frustratingly familiar half from the lasses. Looked threatening at times with the front three, but without quite having that little extra quality and we look like we could get cut open by the pace of their attack at any time and Gale’s second goal was entirely predictable #SAFC

The man’s correct on all counts.
If you want to watch one of the best films ever made later, featuring Michael Caine at the peak of his gorgeousness, The Man Who Would Be King is on BBC2 at 3:20pm today.

A bit of your actual French for my pick today I think.

Watching the last five minutes of the Madrid Benfica game was a good choice. Two Madrid red cards and a last second header from the Benfica goalie to put them through on goal difference.

Pick for today. From one of my favourite albums of the era.

Always sad when a homegrown player has to move on, but can’t wish anything but the best for Dan Neil. Stuck with the club through its worst period and was a driving force in helping return us back to the Premier League and the side that we’ve become #SAFC
We can today confirm the departure of long-serving midfielder Dan Neil.

Neil has joined Ipswich on loan until the end of the season, bringing his 18-year association with Sunderland to an end when his contract expires in June.

He lived the dream, and we all wish him well in his next chapter ❤️

Pick for today. Just because it’s a banger obviously and for no other possible reason.

I think it is fair to say that the likelihood of this being the case immediately after Wembley would have seemed extremely slim #SAFC
And then there was one.

Arsenal's defeat to Man Utd means @SunderlandAFC are the only side still unbeaten at home this season! 🏰

Real contender for goal of the season #SAFC
January 25, 2026 at 3:54 PM
Much better from the lasses today. Fully deserved the win for their second half performance. Hilarious goal. Hopefully something that we can build on now and push further up the table #SAFC
January 25, 2026 at 3:50 PM
The lasses have just scored what, and I don’t think this is an exaggeration, might be one of the great goalmouth scramble goals of all time #SAFC
