    Really good writer. Only Brian Glanville remains from those famous old sport scribes now really.

    Jeremy Hardy. I haven't listened to I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue since Humph died but that show (along with Just a Minute) had a weirdly large impact on me.

    Oscar-nominated British actor Albert Finney has died aged 82 after a short illness.
    Another one bites the dust.

    In the BBC article Alan Mullery is quoted as saying:
    "He was an absolutely marvellous goalkeeper. He was a likable man, and when it came to business, he was probably the best there has ever been."
    What?

    Presumably he means the business of goalkeeping, unless Mullers thinks that banks are named after him.

    I thought that but unless they've rammed two quotes together he'd literally just mentioned his goalkeeping. He will be rather old, I suppose.

    Isn't 81 about/below average rather than doing well?

    Life expectancy at birth in the UK did not improve in 2015 to 2017 and remained at 79.2 years for males and 82.9 years for females.

    Just over a year better.

    I know this is into nostalgia glasses territory (I remember when all this was MTV videos and record shops etc) but The Prodigy feel about a million times more interesting than anything you get these days. Pre-internet too, so when you saw a guy with a reverse mohawk going mental in a sewer on your television then you damn well had to go and find out who the fuck they were.

    Ffs, I wasn't even thinking of their songs. I was trying to think of some general logs/kindling joke that could apply to anyone.

    The Prodigy were incredible in their day. Experience is easily a 10/10 album. I'd say their only actual bad album is The Day Is My Enemy, although outside of the 90s it is a very mixed bag. Saying that, Keith had nothing to do with Experience, but was obviously hugely influential later as they went global. This might mean the end of their live show, but for me I don't think they'd ever top their Jersey Live (lol, I know) set anyway which was basically a greatest hits of the 90s stuff before the 'comeback.' I've seen them a couple of times since and the last time was awful.

    I also suspect, like all professional 'ravers' from the 90s, that he took one too many pills in his time and his brain is spangled. Sad to see him go like this, though. The Prodigy still had legs and I actually quite liked their last album.

    I dunno, he sounded level-headed whenever he got interviewed during MotoGP coverage. I guess the good thing is they could carry on without him. Glad I got to see them a couple of years back, even if the place was half empty and I was right at the back. They do it right.

    It's been said but seeing The Prodigy hit number 1 with Firestarter felt like a watershed moment. Right place, right time. Even listening to Fat of the Land this morning, it felt very much 1997.

    I remember being a 14-year old American boy listening to Fat of the Land from my suburban home in Northern California and trying to play it at every party I went to.

    I'm sure that's ruined the group for the rest of you.

    Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned aged quite well I think. I wouldn't have it too far behind the 90s albums, but miles ahead of the rest.
