It's incredibly unfair to claim to Lance #Stroll is completely useless.

After all, Aston Martin could cover him in white tiles and use him as a urinal.

I should probably add that there are a few other tracks out there that can let you hear the range of your loudspeakers better than this one. The bass sounds like somebody is playing a tectonic plate, and the dynamics are absolutely breathtaking.

Donald Trump: US president says Iran 'welcome' at 2026 World Cup but not 'appropriate' US president Donald Trump says Iran are

US president Donald Trump has said Iran's men's football team is "welcome" at the 2026 World Cup but that it is not "appropriate" for them to be there "for their own life and safety"

Can somebody please explain to me what the shiny blue fuck he is saying? Maybe explain it to him too?

It's also quite strange that he thinks it's possible to end a war by starting one in the first place and then calling a halt to it to allow it to be added to his imaginary numbers.

I played Heart of the Sunrise yesterday to test out some speakers. It occurred to me that I could put together an absolutely killer Yes album called Not Close To The Edge from the good stuff from other albums, to save other people wading through the excess.

Just found this photograph, which brought back some seriously dim memories of my first ever gig attendance. People used to scoff at the idea that the Glasgow Apollo stage was stupidly high off the ground. Well it was.

FORZA ITALIA

Look, they beat the English at rugby so right now this nation can do no wrong.

I still think about this a lot.

Hereditary peers to be removed from Lords as bill passes The bill abolishes the 92 seats reserved for peers who inherit their titles through their families.

Great. Now all that are left are political cronies who have been stuffed into the House of Lords by their mates.

If the Australian GP is anything to go by then we can measure the distance between the cars in the final race using a calendar.

I managed to do that on a very hot summer's day. I had to abandon what I was doing in the kitchen and go out and drive into the centre of town. One wipe of a sweaty brow found chili running straight into my eyes as I drove down a crowded Edinburgh Street, now completely blind. Grand.

Spem in Alium is (I think) the greatest piece of music ever written. The first time I heard it, it was like being transported elsewhere.

From the BBC - 'Following a meeting at midnight, Network Rail said: "As things stand we've not identified any significant damage to the station. We'll get this fully assessed at first light."'

The station is still closed TFN. Incredible scenes.

Fragmentation, by Mike Dickson 8 track album

More. Live, or as live as it gets for me. Also free. I think there is another waiting to be drummed up from here.

I have just seen the footage taken from the tunnel at the end of the game and frankly it's about as cringe as anything I've ever seen.

Hopefully @blueskiesecho.bsky.social and other fans will agree with me: the Old Firm are a cancer on the face of Scotland.

You want to go to the English Leagues? Let me get the door for you both.

It's nothing to do with winning the leagues for me: it's about getting rid of the Stone Age.

It all feels like a fever dream. All I can say about the rugby is that I am glad it only goes on for 80 minutes. When was the last time anybody ever had a match that ended 50-40?

More like FP 34. For all we know, they may still be out there.
