UK people. I'm thrilled that my first documentary 'The Sparks Brothers' is now streaming on @NetflixUK. If you haven't seen it yet, or don't know too much about the majesty of @sparksofficial, then enjoy. If you have seen it and you do know, then enjoy AGAIN x #TheSparksBrothers

There were some cracking goals in League Two on Saturday. 🧨 How about this from Leyton Orient's Paul Smyth? 👏 #LOFC

NEW reissue of the iconic debut album from Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory. Dark, seductive, beguiling and deeply cinematic, taking influence from French Pop and Weimer cabaret. Plus a seductive vocal to die for. Now in stock in-store and online 🛒 : bit.ly/3NoFeXC

I’m pretty sure Paul Smyth’s goal was negative xG. #lofc

We've got a skip outside the house at the moment and I keep looking at it, then at all my things, and thinking "Either I throw my stuff in it this weekend or it sits here 24 years then my kids throw it away saying 'I never once saw dad use this lead/MiniDisc/mug/book'" etc etc

When I cook a ready meal I don't stir it half way through its cooking time as per the instructions.

Off to Brisbane Road where my presence will almost certainly bring Leyton Orient's free-scoring unbeaten run under our new manager to an abrupt end

Full time: Woodford Town 0-4 Walthamstow A brace from Quamina and one each from Ibe and either Pinto or Fletcher (still not sure!) give Stow another massive three points! The win means Stow are now assured of at least 2nd place, and a promotion play-off!

Including the phrases "I'd already had the first abusive email", "big chunks of telly", "oh my heart at this bit", "all look delicious", "the corporate structure that retains the name and logo" it's my weekly news letter!!! *the crowd goes wild* martinbelam.com/2022/friday-…

I watched that deleted The Batman scene with The The Batman and The The Joker The Joker and it's just two grown men whispering aggressively at each other for five minutes. What is wrong with you people. I want more of this …

YOU (VERY WISE): What we'd like to do is a dark gritty reboot of this iconic superhero so people can really understand where he comes from ME (AN IDIOT): It's been thirty years of this now. Had you considered … fun?

A lot of people laughing at the rich person's gap-year trauma of our "bird nesting in my hair" piece today … but I found it strangely lonely and heart-breaking theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

Like that Kate Bush song about the washing machine isn't really about the washing machine, that piece isn't really about the bird is it?
