Bryan Johnson has the name of an 80s footballer, does that make it on to the list or does it have to be worse than that

I love that he made this up, realised people were going to hold him to it, and then went "haha nah, just kidding"

Love seeing a "the acts I personally like should be headlining big festivals and not the big acts that are" post. Season's started already

I saw another one too, the sister version this time, "these are shit headliners, they should have real legends like (acts who are not active, too expensive, or nearly dead)

The one I just read was basically "why aren't Gurriers and Wunderhorse headlining Glastonbury instead of Harry Styles and Sam Fender", I mean it's pretty clear why isn't it, that's not a question you need to ask

I remember reading a review of Fudge by Michael Kiwanuka over a year ago, thinking it sounded like something I was after and looking forward to it, and it just vanishing from the schedules. We know why now, but I'm happy that it's out there now, it's good stuff, really hope he gets to do this again

I saw him at that Cross The Tracks thing two or three months before he was ill, he seemed to be on great form, I'd caught him at festivals a couple of times before (first one because it was a quagmire Glastonbury and I couldn't bear to move) but that one was where you thought he was nailing it

What was going on with all the fantasy films in the 80s? I think when I was a kid I just accepted it was normal that the films that weren't animated all kind of looked like this youtu.be/N2Gi4Y4JzOA?...

Like it died off as a kind of mainstream craze, Rod Stewart didn't keep trying to make disco records, but that's nowhere near the same thing

At the time it probably made total sense for this to be the video to this song. Looks a bit weird now

The standard of ready-to-cook pizza. When I was a kid you'd be delighted with a Findus french bread pizza

Bread too, think what buying bread was like 30-40 years ago. Some great developments in the supermarket bread universe

Got an idea for a TV programme. It's called Celebrity Show - basically the idea is you get a group of celebrities in to do a sort of long form elimination game show, like Traitors or I'm A Celebrity or whatever, but they don't know what the concept will be and it changes every series

Please don't steal my idea, I need the money

Weekly pub grump complaint: incredibly loud woman who looks like she's having a big night out in 1998

I've probably got more than three days' worth of certain foods due to my "it was cheap, I enjoyed the snack, let's keep buying that food over and over" habit. There is probably only so much nutritional value in vegetable fingers though

I imagine putting together Celebrity Traitors to tell some dramatic story to be a bit like doing it with footage of meerkats for Meerkat Manor. Not sure if much is really happening in reality. Just celebrities hanging around hoping they stay on TV for a while

Wouldn't have been my pick, but you know what, I'm going to stick up for it. It would have been much much easier for her to just do your usual "more of the same but this time it's about being famous and/or on tour" second album but instead she did whatever this is meant to be

Thinking about how when I was a kid we knew a family called Bond and their kids were all called things like Chris* and Becky* and Andy* and none of them were called fucking James! *not their real names but more or less their real names

I get the need to avoid giving your kid the same name as a well known person, you do want to avoid that if possible, but why not make at least one of your cursed sons James Bond?

New Avalanches album is very good imo, I already liked the "old consumer technology, how in awe of it when you were a kid, and the way it was sold to you, takes up a big chunk of your memory now" idea but the whole thing is a fun listen

The thing is that it's sent me back to their other records, although a discovery is that Since I Left You, an album I listened to at least a hundred times in 2001, is actually better than I thought it was! Because I was listening to a CD on a crap player I bought in Index! So much for old technology

I wonder if there's been a professional footballer who hasn't made their full name public for whatever personal reason? Like you've made a new signing and he's just called Gavin N.

There's no reason why you need to know these people's names really, is there? Can just be Gavin N., who is wearing number 8. He has not disclosed his nationality

After a week of this muck outside people are going to be begging for the return of "why is it so warm and settled?" There is only so much soup you can eat before you get bored of it

Always liked James Maddison, I know he's meant to be your "don't like him but I'd want him on my team" player but I don't really have a dog in the fight so I just enjoy watching him (between injuries)

Did anybody really expect Tottenham to stay in the bottom three though? I know the recruitment has been a bit Supermarket Sweep but they won't need all those signings to go well
