This book…. Just, wow! Rarely have I finished a book feeling enlightened, informed, enraged, entertained… and wanting to go back to page 1 and start all over again. This book needs to be on the national curriculum. Incredible achievement @RichardFla66818 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely shambolic journey from Harpenden to Kings X St Pancras this morning, thanks @TLRailUK. 32 minute journey took just short of 2 hrs, no information, just apologies of the ‘I don’t know what’s happening either’ variety. Not good enough.

This book… it pretty much broke me up. Lots of parallels to my youth in Belfast, the journey into music being such a big part of my life. But it’s the small details of a provincial life that got me more, & then the way Gary (I knew a few Gary’s) deteriorated ❤️ @estellecostanza

Absolutely right this! I’ve also reprimanded the sellotape for being too sticky 🤷‍♂️

80% possession but 0-0 at half time @ChelseaFC. We’ve seen this film before and it doesn’t have a happy ending 😳

Absolutely loved this book @TedKessler1. Funny, emotional and brought back so many memories. Loved learning the backstory to the fantastic @KCMANC pic of Sean Ryder that adorns my wall…..

Also loved the stories of people I have known at one time or another, from Caffy St Luce whom I knew in the 80s, to my good friend @stu_bailie and his Weller tiff 😊. Such a good read for anyone who likes music of any description or who read NME at any stage of their life!

Apart from the intriguing, gripping stories, the multi-dimensional characters that you get to know & love, laugh at and, indeed for some of them, miss, it’s prose like this that makes Mick Herron’s Slough House books unmissable. Agree @AlanJParks @adrianmckinty @LiamMcIlvanney?

Totally smitten by this from @ebtg. Right now I’m thinking it’s their best album ever, is that strange given their previous success and trajectory? #recordstoreday2023
