@stuartjeffery William Morris used to write about the 'ravings of the Telegraph' in his time. Nothing changes, sadly.

@officialblueboy @PrecRecs @gidcoe @BBC6Music Really enjoyed it. Another lovely track.

I've spent a few therapeutic hours this evening cleaning up this damaged daguerreotype image - it is actually the earliest surviving Japanese photograph. It was taken 167 years ago, showing the feudal lord Shimazu Nariakira (1809-1858), photographed in 1857 by his retainer, Ichiki Shirō. The photo was believed lost for a century but turned-up in a warehouse in 1975 in rather a poor state. I've tried to clean off some of the muck and water-damage to better see the gentleman beneath, whilst retaining the essence of the original portrait...

@C_Kavanagh The only way I deal with this is to imagine it's an advanced form of post-modern art.

@TalkingSnooker I think when they had a power cut was a bit more of an embarrassment I have to say.

@redrumlisa There's also a well established right-wing alternative media that has feasted on the scraps from the riots and made hay (clicks). That didn't exist in 97!

@simon_price01 @Manics Possibly the only album where, sometimes for no reason, entire paragraphs of lyrics play in my head!

[Ben D @theintrovertsoc]

@AdamHickford @sniffpetrol agreed, but I'm a car weirdo who doesn't use a smartphone at all, or an android emulator etc, so all laptop based.

@berenyi_miki ever listened to Sungaze Miki? Thought you might like (not affiliated with band etc) https://t.co/AiKE7TDavV

@ChrisJSmedley @SnookerForce yup, it's a warning shot to eventually gain a triple crown event, surely?

@Gary_Wilson11 Go and win it Gary!

@aflashbak Nice Lada.

@J_Wh1ttaker I like the remaster of THB (don't mean the US version)

[Ben D @theintrovertsoc]

@J_Wh1ttaker Holy Bible, Everything must go, Rewind the Film, Journal for Plague Lovers.

@MetJam_ oh I hope not, our house has rubbish insulation!

[Ben D @theintrovertsoc]

@dai_alectic Kinda agree. State coercion becomes visible at these moments. You don't have to be an anarchist to see the problems. Also, the feelings these people had haven't gone away and need addressing.

@jamesrbuk @C_Kavanagh reports that Goodwin has left his University post at Kent.
