Bits and bobs between Sundays. Not emailed, just here.
The Sunday Morning Blog
benjames.ukOver-opinionated, under-informed. Since 1976.
Impeccable bad taste

Hey, reviews are coming soon. Music, film, books, restaurants and anything else I’ve heard, seen or eaten. Restaurants only get in if they’re good: what I enjoyed in my mouth, why the service was great and why you should go.

Reddit went mental for the Sky F1 rant

I stuck my Sky F1 rant on r/F1Discussions on race day. 179,000 views, 132 upvotes and 242 comments later, it’s my most-read thing ever. Over a quarter of them were American, which I didn’t see coming and impressive as they cannot read or write English, but at least they’re learning how to vote. Anyway, turns out I’m not the only one shouting at the telly.
The mods have even said I can post links to the blog now, so I can annoy even more people.

Not another fucking podcast?!

A new reader of the blog, or don’t wanna be reader, asked if there was an audio version for the blog that they could just play [Talk about lazy, I try to keep the reads to 5mins] There isn’t, yet. It got me thinking I could, alongside, record some of these blog musings that I then embed exactly for that purpose. Fuck it, why not. It got me thinking of other things I could record, just for shits and giggles. Hopefully giggles.
It’ll be a simple thing format-wise, just need to go figure out how Apple and the antichrist Spotify go about it. Then I’ll embed them at the bottom of each article so that at least the lazy must scroll to the bottom.

Welcome to the News Feed

Some of the things I want to share aren’t necessarily blogworthy, or rather, bother worthy. I want to stick to just notifying you once a week of the blog. So, I am going to silently post reviews and news and just include it in the Sunday email. If you’re new here, poke your nose about, and if you’re old here, keep sniffing.
Welcome to the News feed, I hope you enjoy it and thanks for reading.
