I'm not sure what to make of all this. Seems like brewdog is trying to undercut an underfunded council out of money they're entitled to, which other large companies would pay out of civic duty as much as legal obligation. Then again, they make beers that say punk on em so can someone explain. Deal?

I've never heard the phrase slopey shoulders, nor sloppy shoulders

U wot m8?

Del Boy spotted on the bbc website just now:

is that a Going Live reference?

I like how the scoring system is humorously morbid yet doesn't give points for anyone under 18, as if to say "i'm not that evil".

If the Queen dies then Prince Philip follows, as widowers are often wont to do - dying of "a broken heart", does that count as natural causes?

I sacrificed the Queen for some other picks, but am regretting it.

Mariah Carey may have just made my list for this year

Aye, her and jack divorced in 1958.

That's your Pards gone.

the king is dead, long live the king.

Watched the first episode of The OA last night. It was good but far too mysterious. I can just tell I'm gonna get to the end of it and still not know fully what the fuck is going on. It was put together really well though.

Finally jumped on the Westworld wagon too. About halfway through and loving it. Anyone who says it's boring and slow is, frankly, an idiot.

I only know her really from the Big Breakfast. She did a stint in the Vanessa Feltz role doing interviews on the bed. Or maybe she was just interviewed on it once. 

Alan thicke died the other day. Doubt anyone had him.

Kero Kero Bonito - Bonito Generation

Have listened to it end to end twice today. I hate it and love it at the same time. Is it supposed to be tongue-in-cheek? In a turbo-meta-hipster kinda way, both revelling in and taking the piss out of overly commercial pop music. Or is it just what it is... crazily catchy pop tunes? I can't figure it out but the fact i've listened twice probably means I think it's a good album and it doesn't really matter what it's supposed to be.

I'm shit at remembering when things were released. Here's a few i know were this year.

Goat - Requiem

Lovely worldy psychy vibes

Anderson Paak - Malibu

Soulful pleasantness 

Lee Scratch Perry - Must Be Free

Utterly mental. He's pretty much just babbling nowadays but it's strangely hypnotic.

I'd agree with that. He's a money-grabbing, no loyalty-having shit and probably a shitty teammate but you absolutely can't fault the effort he puts in and the passion he has.

Don't really know where to put this but it's ace-ic as fuck

Sorry to have to quickly derail the Zamora Memorial (ZAMORIAL!), but Carlos Tevez is to sign for Shanghai Shenhua, for £635,000 per week.

Over £24m a year.

 

Lunacy.

Wasn't he complaining about being homesick in Manchester? How's he gonna feel in fucking Shanghai?!

"i've gone back to Argentina to play for my boyhood club. it is my destiny... this club is very close to my heart... hold on... how much?!... 645k?!... Kia, grab my boots, we're off to China"

He had that one season where he looked unstoppable. People were talking about how he should lead the line for England, Man Utd should snap him up, etc.

I vaguely remember one goal from a tight angle he scored for Fulham. Other than that, no memories.

Jets

The fucking Jets

Worst secondary in the history of the NFL. Revis has completely checked out. I feel sorry for Buster Skreen, he's at least trying out there. 

Hard to see any, but if there are positives to be taken from this season it's Robbie Anderson and Quincy Enunwa emerging as decent WRs. Anderson looks like a computer generated graphic though. Never seen a more slender NFL player. Every time he catches the ball I get worried he's going to be literally snapped in half. Look at those fucking shins!

this could all go a bit Buzzfeed if you start including discontinued items.

I like how there's 3 distinct taste profiles so far:

Lemonade preferring the toffee/caramel notes, Soda the more 'Jeely' ones and me going for nuts (pea, hazel and coco)

Dime! Criminally underrated sweet

I'd go:

1. Whole Nut

2. Kinder Bueno

3. Bounty

4. Dime

5. Lion or Maltesers. Can't decide
