And his 2 year old son said "it's OK."

That thought did cross my mind too!

First Beatles number 1 since The Ballad of John & Yoko in 1969. That's Kate Bush's record down the toilet!

He'll do fuck alll like he did last time.

Yes, I remember that. He was very good in it.

Just for clarity, he wasn't one of the priests in the lingerie store, but the drunken barfly who tells Todd Unctious about Ted getting the Golden Cleric award. One of the priests who was in the lingerie store was Sean Barrett* (the boring priest), also born in 1940 and still alive. His voice-over was used a heck of a lot in the 1990s. *Also on the cover the The Smiths' classic How Soon Is Now? single from 1985.

It might be IVF or something. That came over a bit callous, I hope the child is very healthy!

With Mitchell as Dad and a 51 year old mother, autism for that kid must be a stick on.

Meanwhile in Manchester, a mystery has been solved...

2034 World Cup set be hosted by Saudi Arabia. Rumour has it that the 2038 World Cup will have a joint bid from Guernsey, Cook Island, Greenland, Hawaii, Madagascar and Belgium.

I think that might count as abuse in today's circumstances.

I don't know whether this has been mentioned on this site but Biff Rose, the comedian and singer-songwriter whose 1968 song Fill Your Heart was covered by Tiny Tim and David Bowie (on the Hunky Dory album) died on July 25th 2023 aged 85.

Ken Clarke was Chancellor from 1993-1997. Hardly the blink of an eye.

Gareth Ainsworth is Sacked.

Sorry I spoke...

Not if Talking Heads get there first!

Lou Reed died 10 years ago today aged 71.

Yeah, he done alright there, didn't he? Kudos.

Well I suppose Bill thought he'd rather die than see Everton in the Championship.

Dun 'imself in with a shoo'er. Apparently.

It appears that there is a Russian version of the DeathList.

For a long time the most famous name in British football. Ironic that it is hattrick hero Geoff Hurst that is the last England man standing. RIP.

Julian Cope turns 66 today.
