Other than blog-related posts and visiting Horsevault's archive for research, I'm very rarely on here now. Look me up instead at: bsky.app/profile/graysonscol…

Coincidence?

Released exactly 30 years ago today, and still one of my all-time top three albums.
Punky, progressive, poppy, beautiful, noisy and psychedelic, either by turns or sometimes all at once. Inventive, wide-eyed, restless. Practically ADHD in music form.

This is an account well worth following if like you me you have to pronounce Irish language horses and sometimes have no idea and it’s just interesting finding out what they mean
This is just a casual account trying to help with Irish names, nothing else. Any help anybody can give with names will be much appreciated.
I am not in the industry, I am not a tipster, I just have an interest in language and names.
Thanks, Paul.

'Morning. Any kind soul out there able to confirm who commentated at the point-to-points at Parham, March 28th and Kingston Blount, April 19th, please? No footage of either to refer to on the National site or the usual Facebook resources. Thanks in advance!

The great Paul Whitehouse is 68 years old today, which means I am obliged to post this (again!) - arguably the most majestically random but brilliant comedy sketch committed to celluloid for at least the last, what, forty, forty five years?
Yes, forty, forty five years.
Happy birthday Paul 🤘

Mavis Mason would have been 21 today.
Old enough to receive the full National Living Wage.
Old enough to supervise a learner driver.
Old enough to hold a bus license.
Old enough to apply to adopt a child.
She'd have been many things.
We're just so grateful that we had been hers.

I thought old Twitter may enjoy a clip of Balthazar King jumping today (aged 22!)

That thing where you sit down one weekend and accidentally spend it writing a review of all of the Eurovision songs.
Almost certainly too long, and full of questionable takes, but then that’s my writing generally (I’ll say it before any of you do).

(NB It’s almost certainly also the only Eurovision review that namechecks all of John Shuttleworth, Junior Wimbledon, Cardiacs, Arkle, Stewart Lee, Adamski, ParkRun, Bunny vs Monkey and the official motto of Rutland, though. Because you’re worth it and I care.)

(Feel free to agree with as much or as little of it as you fancy. See also if you can guess which song is my favourite (not entirely clear) and which has annoyed me more than any other in 45 years of watching (not at all unclear!))
