Utterly incomprehensible #Ashes test at #Perth. Oh well. 3 bonus days of sleep... #TravisHead is the best batsman in the world.
But what has happened to Test batting technique?

No sir. This was warm, well-produced and, above all a fab surprise. The MIH version (is like the other re-makes) a prime example of throwing the Queen kitchen sink at it for no good reason.
And that is the end of this section.

We were honoured to meet the wonderful Trevor Horn this evening at the Apex Theatre. He spoke about his life the magnificent music that soundtracked the 80sz and answered @pankp007.bsky.social question at length about the brilliant Annihilation Mix by Frankie. Just a joyous evening.

As we note and celebrate #BohemianRhapsody at 50, I thought I'd share a potted thought of how (I think) Freddie's use of 3 chords informed much of his songwriting. Years ago I droned on at length to @lappods.bsky.social @swordofreason.bsky.social about this. @oiqfc.bsky.social

A more important piece of print journalism will not be written this year. From Pizza Hut to "dirty pizza" at our local place, to the most perfect al forno with artisan mozzarella as thin as an After Eight, I cannot abide pizza snobbery.... And I like toppings. Who's in?
Me on Pizza Hut.
“Let’s be real: when you want a Pizza Hut, nothing on God’s earth will do apart from a Pizza Hut. Not sourdough. Not artisan basil. Not a man called Dylan telling you about the soil pH of his San Marzano tomatoes. Just. Pizza. Hut.”

Pizza Hut is more than grease and nostalgia - I'm devastated at closures
God bless you, Pizza Hut.
