Even better, Steve and Kavus mixed into it from Battles’ always enormous Atlas too… I nearly dropped my £7.85 pint of Camden IPA.
Before I start banging on about @blurofficial, a quick shout out to the DJ who dropped Talk Talk’s ‘Life’s What You Make It’ just before the band came on. ☕️
“Football is… she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress, Clive. She's Qatari, she's Arabic, she's an African, she’s gay. She… she’s disabled. 'Cause football’s about nothing, nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about… is being a migrant worker.”

This is lovely.
PS might spend the rest of the day speaking Jack
Lads? Say ‘lairrrds’
Goals? Say ‘gurrrrrls’
Year? Say ‘yay-err’
Day? Say ‘dee-er’
Both? Say ‘berth’ – at Barnet, London
There’ll be loads of stuff doing the rounds regarding Big Jack Charlton but this story of him learning about his England call up made me smile 😃 #RipBigJack one of footballs larger than life characters 🙏🏼teapawt.net/Gummo88805622/status/1…
A thrill to hear @OfficialHuey playing BDP’s Criminal Minded on @6Music. Bought album on release. Loaned it to a lad who naffed off to Uni and sold it to fund a habit he’d developed. Got another copy a few years ago but lost it when our lock-up roof caved in. Daren’t buy it again – at Barnet, London

I remember in 1984, Wogan asking Jack Charlton what he'd have done if it hadn't been for football.
'I would have gone down the pit, wouldn't I?'
'And... would you be on strike now?'
'OF COURSE I WOULD - those lads, they're just trying to save jobs and their communities.' #RIPJack
I know enough people who met Jack Charlton over the years to be safe in the knowledge that he was a funny, kind, eccentric and lovely chap.
There are lots of wonderful Big Jack stories but this one is one of my favourites. – at Barnet, London
#OnThisDay at Italia 90 a goal from Italy's Toto Schillaci sent Ireland home from the World Cup. This story about Jack Charlton's response to the defeat is well worth your time...
Well, this hits the bullseye on a sunnyish early July day. And further proof that the good Dr is in particularly rude health. – at Barnet, London

Remember when @sufjanstevens did Michigan then Illinois and we all thought he was going to do the other 48 states and he didn’t but he’s now rounded up the whole lot in a brand new break-up song with America and it’s live-streaming right now. Yeah? Yeah. youtu.be/OK9EImqaKvI – at Barnet, London
I've worked for @Mixmag as a staffer, then a freelancer, since 1997 (brief hiatus aside). As you can imagine, it means so much to me.
That we won't see it on newsstands for the foreseeable future is a huge loss. Under @DuncanMixmag, @SeanKGriffiths and the team it was FLYING.
The best magazines don't just know their audience but bring it along with them each issue. That's what Mixmag has being doing so brilliantly of late. This is not just a loss to the industry but to the young, creative talent that Duncan and the team have supported and developed.

Does anyone else look at this lot in Whitehall today and think what sort of music do these pillocks listen to?
Or is it just Sousa’s Stars & Stripes Forever and Sloop John B on loop? – at Barnet, London
I see they are now replaying Euro 2016 on Whitehall.
When are the Russian mob going to turn up? – at Barnet, London
Happy 63rd birthday to Patrick Joseph McAloon.
A great, a god.

I love Bristol. It’s one of those cities in the UK where you feel a true vibe. But whenever I’ve visited I have been unable to shake its shameful history from my mind. This day should have come years ago. F**k statues of slave traders. Tear them down. PS Priti Patel? Get to f**k!
