Have been very much enjoying Party Down this week. Probably the show with the highest “oh, there’s him from that other thing” and “she was in that other thing that other woman in the same scene was in too” percentage of any other TV show. Talking it up on @U105radio tonight too.
Party Down is now on Netflix. I mention this because if you haven’t seen it, you should use this opportunity to watch Party Down.

You can talk all you want about Sligo Rovers and Connah’s Quay Nomads as being Scotland’s most embarrassing European defeats, but chucking a 4-0 lead in the way Celtic just have needs to be added to that. A worse result than they had last year and that’s saying something.

It’s always easier once you’ve seen it done.
11 years on from a proper pummelling by a would-be Octochamp, they let me back on @C4Countdown for another shot at the teapot.
Find out if it came home with me in the next hour or so…🕣

He should try tuning into @U105radio on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Ally McCoist is very well respected for football knowledge. But I am sorry to say I can't understand a word he is saying .

Great move - do the over 55s next!
We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect:
