Damn, apparently if the ball goes out of play and both teams don't have at least seven players, the referee isn't obliged to continue play. That's a shame.

The 23 implies subs as well, so I'd like to think the combination left one untouched.

Aw man, I want to see what happened afterwards. Just one guy left on the pitch, taking it easy and scoring eleventeen goals.

She can hear through time. Presently BBC Pathe recordings from 1958.

Had a look to find that I'd blocked *them*. Can't remember why now, though. It's something I don't hesitate to do here though.

Peppa Pig is introducing a deaf character in order to raise awareness for kids. They give him a hearing aid, and it works fine apart from occasional crackling.

"Stop lying with your bum on the pillow and guffing" is another similiar one.

This West Riding won't nuke itself, you know.

Old school. I find that Sheffield Nuked into Oblivion day is too commercialised these days.

It was the highlight of Frightfest 2024 - I went and bought a box set of all his works after watching it :) And despite being a huge fan of library and production music, was completely unaware of how much he'd done.

I could honesty not give a flying fuck about brewdog management - but, unlike them, I do care about their unemployed staff.

I do hope very much that any evacuees stop in the first safe country they get to.

Once hirsute with hair, shareholder with Timotei
Head and shoulders reeking of Vosene and Garnier
Used to get mistaken for a girl from behind
Now my mane has meandered, my hairline reclined

Looking at combs with twinges of sorrow
A sad case of Hair today, gone tomorrow
No morning comb needed, it’s too short to mess
What was once deep brown, now greyer than Skegness

My follicles are doleful, working conditions weird
They’ve retired on my head, but it’s overtime on the beard
There’s so few hairs on my head that I demand a recount
Should have known that it was over when my barber gave a discount

You can’t have a number 2 when your hair’s naturally a 1
When your haircut is over as soon as the razor is switched on
The barber’s seen more hair on the outside of coconuts
like an uber driver on the clock, this man only does short cuts

Ain’t no fringe benefits when you can’t grow a fringe
When any colour you want must come out of a syringe
Crying over hair loss like a baby with colic
Taking two bottles into the shower like a jaded alcoholic

So many folks have seen my crown that it should make me royalty
I should’ve treated my hair well so it would repay my loyalty
I’ve got a comb, as you can see, but can’t part with it today
Can’t wig out over wigs - cos there’d be hell toupee

My hairdresser has – despite all odds – at last thrown in the towel
Get through so much suncream on my face I might as well use a trowel
My fade is just so faded it’s got nowhere to go
I’m more Luthor now than Superman, more Faberge than Fabio

Lost all my locks like a clumsy key maker
Would kill for red hair like a gingerbread baker
Gotta wear a beanie to keep out the coldness
When my Main Point of Bother is Male Pattern Baldness

My forehead is a fivehead that I simply just cannot disguise
Boldly going into baldness like the captain of the Enterprise
Choose to grow old quite disgracefully, don’t take it in good grace
It just takes a little longer in the morning to wash my face

Have a poem about losing your hair.

Sadly this would need a degree of self-awareness which she's never demonstrated before.

The Aquabats were *superb* as support last night in a gig at the O2 Academy (Less Than Jake's Winter Circus Tour). Inflatable sharks, pizza and beach balls were thrown away with gay abandon, and I think they picked up a *lot* of new fans. 50-something blokes in spandex having the best time :)
