This seems as good a place to post a recommendation as anywhere. The new Uranium Club record arrived with me this week and I absolutely freaking love it; it's full of post-punk energy, a bit weird (part way through it becomes a concept album about a wall appearing in the middle of a town) and fun as hell. The album opener "Small Grey Man" is one of the best singles I've heard in a long, long time and I've been a bit obsessed with it since hearing it on Marc Riley's show a couple of months back.

Disagree.

The National - The Geese of Beverley Road (presumably the one in Hull):

Vlad in "sniffy about other people's cultural choices" shocker.

You sick fuck, negged.

You leave dweebs alone! We were always destined to inherit the earth!

Bay Lifts.

And one from my Manga phase:

They built a new 65,000 seater stadium called...The Watford Stadium. Pricks. Although my mate playing as West Ham also got a new ground - The James Tomkins Stadium.

Of course I've cheated at CM/FM, everyone has. I'm currently at pre-season in 2031/32 of a network game of FM13 with some friends. We started it in lockdown and that was the most recent version we all already owned. We play most weeks and it's immense fun, with no cheating (other than exploiting youth intake days). I got sacked from Cardiff within months of the game starting and then got the Watford job, with them bottom of the Championship ship. We've now won 8 PLs, 4CLs and about 30 other trophies in what has been described by some as "The Hornet Bastard Dynasty". It's very competitive but our four teams of Watford, Derby and West Ham have risen to the top alongside Arsenal to be the best teams in the world.

People who say expresso can fuck off.

It's another example of why teaching phonics is stupid, because the English language is stupid. There are more exceptions to the rules than rules. Although I like what I think someone on here once said - "never criticise someone for mispronouncing a word - they learned that word through reading."

Until about two years ago I thought hyperbole was pronounced hyperbowl. "Aaaand this year's Hyperbole will be a face-off between the Saturn Titans and the Jacksonville Jetpackers!!"
