Swells’ dad was a company director. Although I worked with DQ when I first came to London, I have no idea about his early life. I’d like to think Swells, who was my friend and who I miss terribly, would be Team OJ.

in my experience football podcasts are torturous interminable noise that make me think death is underrated. There might be some good ones but it's a door I'm never going to open again.

actually I'm not sure if it even counts as a podcast
I've listen to a couple of decent Tooze ones in recent times. Some of the lefty ones on twitter I've clicked on before are fucking awful.

used to love Cooke's Letter From America which wasn't a podcast and was probably bad. But liked the ASMR qualities of his voice more than his observations on golf and the oddities of his US fascist friends.

Bazza only has any empathy for the construction behemoths that have generously lined his pockets for decades. He's a classless, worthless piece of garbage. He's probably been an MP longer than Frank Field and in many ways he's worse than him!

I'd like to nominate him as a GNU temp leader though, if Ken dies of a heart attack after listening to a Matt Mitchell album Bazza can't be that far off Father of the House status.

him and FF have both stood in the same constituency since '79. He tries to keep a lower profile than Frank cos he loves the grift of being a professional lobbyist.

another classic bit of classic Sheermanning was in response to a local football supporters group campaigning for a dedicated safe-standing zone in the stadium was that if ppl stand up they are more likely to shout racial abuse at players - said the racist.

Love this account and the fact he tagged baggymp
As a guy who's owned and played guitar my entire life (I currently own 7, including a beautiful 12 string), this is abhorrent.His left hand is grabbing the neck like he's about to strangle it rather than caress.

wait, when I played I used to hold the neck like that AFAIK. a bit like (sudden realisation, crosspost with "shockingly old when you learned" thread) I hold a pen too hard and brush my teeth too hard and other things dyspraxic people do, except such words didn't exist when I went to school
maybe that's why I could never play anything more complicated than half-speed Ramones songs
