Trump on NATO: “If the US was in trouble and we called them. You think they're going to come and protect us? I’m not so sure.” This already happened, after 9/11. And every single member state backed the US. He really does talk a load of old blathering shite.

So down the road from me in Yorkshire there is a US listening station. While it shared info with Ukraine many welcomed it. Now it won't even share info with the British hosts it has to go. We don't want spies for Russia on British soil.

Maureen Cleave describing the Rolling Stones to Evening Standard readers in 1964. I think this is my favourite passage in all music writing. It's packed with detail and tension, but nothing is unnecessary.

The genius of Fairytale of New York is it ages with you. In my teens, when it was released, it was a great song. All these years later, with Shane and Kirsty passed, its message of hope over disappointment and loss is both heartbreaking and uplifting. Genius.

The greatest hook in the history of popular music is at 1:15 of Sound And Vision by David Bowie, and they only use it once in the whole song.

I prefer the K2 telephone box design over the more popular and prolific K6. Taller, nicer glass design, wider. Oh and if you prefer anything after the K6 you are a tasteless cunt.
