Getting blocked by Matt Le Tissier on the other place is possibly my proudest moment on the other place!

So despite spending a lot of time on Spotify this year turns out I haven't listened to much in the way of new albums.
So pre new year plan is to listen to a new album every week.
I'll keep posting reviews on this thread!
Any recommendations are appreciated!

Watching Tom Petty in the BBC2 music program and remembering my (very very late) discovering TP via Gaslight Anthem and the amazing feeling of discovering new music.
Couple that with seeing Madness for the first time last night in Manchester which was amazing.
Music is such an amazing thing!

As a part time F1 fan, given the standings going into the last race it feels better for me Lando being P2 and Oscar being P3.
There's no chance of a problem with Max trying to catch him and tagging him and hopefully a bit of protection from Oscar from the same behind!
Just needs a reliable car!

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

Idly wondering if the solution to racists 'wanting their country back' is for all countries to build theme parks where the bigots have to go and live, where technology is reversed 50 years and they have it all as they think they remember. Then tourists can come and pay to look at them.

Imagine TV News covering this farmer protest - banned, but turned up anyway, grinding capital to a halt - if it were about Palestine or climate change, not inheritance tax. Would they present protesters as heroes? Or showing "I need to get to work" and "me auld mam missed her hip operation" voxpops?

So hearing Off the Ball talk about top Scotland goals, going for 5 is difficult, these stand out to me.
But these have to be in the debate:
Archie 1978 (obvs)
McFadden
Tonight's 3
Leigh Griffiths 2 v England
McCoist v Switzerland Euro 98
Burley v Norway 98 (good finish and gave some hope!

The change in tempo in Never Too Much by Luther Vandross in this live version is amazing.
It felt like he was just teasing the crowd then kicked it back up!

This poisonous politics fuels far-right violence against minorities and migrants. We all must unite against it.
