That's quite an epic little venture.

Take That should’ve stayed in the mid 90’s.

Yes, I agree, and they also shouldn't have made any records.

I forgot how unbearable Coldplay were until a current advert started using one of their most irritating tracks.

Yellow.

Myself and my good friend Mickey remain very proud to this day that we both heard that song for the first time while we driving to a (an appalling, horrific) wedding in K*nt back when it came out.

Must've been '99 or '00.

AnyborgleZ, he was driving and I was in the front passenger seat, and we had the radio on and, well, this song just started slimily, mucously, insidiously seeping out of the speakers and we remained silent for a couple of minutes, just 'drinking it in' like drunkards on the icky end of a 'spitoon bet'...

And then, almost simultaneously, we both said more-or-less the same words...

"What the actual f**k is this f*****g sh*t?"

Don't forget…

Why would you think that was deserving of memory? The better half of a nation is already living in fear of advert breaks just now.

Never forget.

Many many fireworks are being let off outside of (or very near) my house right now.

It is officially annoying.

I love fireworks. I live for fireworks. They make me feel all safe and with a sense of childish wonder while the dark world outside the firework zone fades to nothing.

Coincidentally I was looking at a new flat online earlier, and one of the things that impressed me more than anything was the views of all the fireworks it’d offer on 5/11.

It's Take That tonight.

Then the K-Pop band Blackpink on Sunday.

And Rebecca Black.

The booming has begun in earnest.

Ernest?

AnyborgleZ...

Billy Joel

Daryl Hannah Hall.

and...

Natasha Bedingfield.

Drug deals on street corners. It’s all becoming so déclassé. Whatever happened to discreet doorways, the toilets of commercial premises, and private flats? The lingering effects of lockdown have made savages of us all.

I know it's London, and the famous Hyde Park, but do any of the residents ever complain? Much as I love Daryl Hall Billy Joel, it does seem there's an awful lot of concerts going on these these days. I think I've said before that I think concerts should only ever be indoors, for the sake of the thousands of people who don't want to hear them.

Won't somebody think of the squirrels and ducks.

It's Spruce tonight.

And The Dixie Chicks.

Lana Del Rey tomZ.

Yeah, Spruce.

It's crud-loud tonight.

Not so much outside, but Joe Biden just flew over my house.

In an aircraft?

There were several hecilopters.

Of the Chinook variety.


When it was T***p it was all Ospreys.


Now we're left with Del Rey rumbling off and away on the horizon.

Never a dull moment...

It could have been all the press helicopters flying over the BBC for footage of nothing. Marylebone to somewhere like Elstree would fit. I get the end of the palace flypasts, and I don’t really see the point.

Might just be Suella going to Tesco to wrestle the staff to the floor and ask where they’re from.

This....buzzing around for the last hour.
