This one's spectacular. In the 1960s, London's Mews were still being used to keep horses. This clip spoils us with a lovely glimpse of the people, pubs, and lifestyle among the cobbled backstreets that have since become expensive housing. They certainly had more personality then than nowadays. @Britains___Pubs

Not sure how many of you out there love Emerson Lake & Palmer's Tarkus as much as I do.
But if you do - here it is played on just xylophones and percussion.

So City are to be relegated to the Championship as punishment? Talk about patronising.
What are we twenty odd places below, Devil's fucking Island? We don't want them. Moping about like they're in an open prison.
Fuck em off to non-league.

The Premier League is a bloated cumbersome bore.
Like a movie franchise that just keeps going because it keeps getting bank rolled on it goes through another flavourless season, clueless about how to make the product seem exciting and fresh.
It's such a chore these days.

🚨 POINTLESS STAT OF THE DAY #162
WBA and MILLWALL ON COURSE FOR A BLANK RECORD IN NOV!
Following our most boring English League match series which is running this evening BIG thanks to @WBAKitStats for flagging that WBA host Millwall next month with the last 6 league meetings at The Hawthorns: 1-1, 1-1, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0, 0-0. 😴
This is far from dull and actually very exciting as given that the goalless draws have come consecutively it means the game on November 7th could potentially set an English Football league record as this fixture is currently tied with...
Bristol Rovers v Brentford
Gillingham v AFC Bournemouth
Hull City v Middlesbrough
Oxford United v Swindon Town
...for having FOUR consecutive 0-0s in the league at the same ground.
Going to make for an interesting watch and one definitely diarised at Statty HQ! Boing Boing!
@WBA and @MillwallFC use this information very wisely! 🤓
Taste of Honey "Boogie Oogie Oogie".
A HUGE hit but here it is played live.
Man, could those gals groove.

Just begun re-reading Groucho Marx's "Memoirs Of A Mangy Lover" for the first time in over 50 years.
Published in 1963, I am startled by its opening paragraph that suddenly seems madly contemporary.
