15 years since Mike Skinner/The Streets released Computers & Blues. Sometimes an album comes along exactly when you need it. Mike's music often felt like it was soundtracking my life, but Computers & Blues hit in a very different timely way. Loved it now. Needed it then. My favourite Streets album.

Having been on holiday in Barmouth and Fairbourne countless times, I'm really enjoying spotting the locations in Sky's Under Salt Marsh. An incredible part of the world. Love it there. #UnderSaltMarsh

Valentine's Day is coming up. If you want to show someone you really love them, buy them a book. And if you love (or even just moderately tolerate) me, make it one of mine! Link below.

Made myself one of those iPad/Kindle style images that seem to be all the rage on the ads these days. I don't think I've done too badly there. And the book's a bargain.

Happy birthday to one of the greatest centre backs the game has ever seen, the incomparable Sir Terry Angus. Him and Gaz Dean are the first names on the team sheet at the back when it comes to naming my greatest Boro' team of all time. What a player. What a guy. @nuneatontownfc.bsky.social
