Like a bit of anime, 40k and gigs, old enough to think the 90's were a couple of years ago (he/him)

Today is the 40th anniverary of Studio Ghibli's first cinema release! Laputa: Castle in the Sky came out on 2 August 1986, paving the way for everything that followed.

Well, no 'we were robbed' about that one, Argentina were better tactically and wanted it more. England tried to defend a lead for half hour against a team with too much firepower, we just about got away with it against Mexico and Norway but why abandon the initiative like that in a semi?

We've completely abandoned the initiative in this match and have deserved to go behind here.

It's rather hot in York at the moment, so if you're on campus why not cool off in our climate controlled study space on the first floor of the Raymond Burton library? We're keeping it open access all week, no archives or appointments required (and we can vouch for the icy chill) 😎

Damn, can it be that England were actually...exciting in the 2nd half? We need to keep that intensity for the rest of the tournament

A few weeks back I stumbled across the HMV Vault shop in Birmingham, and it was like stepping back in time 20 years. It's one of the last 'original concept' HMV locations, prioritising film and music over merchandise and pop culture. I didn't realise how much I'd missed browsing shops like this

John Blanche has died. Absolutely devastating news. I have no words right now. It will have to wait. Farewell, old friend.

Ok, so I have today learned that we could have had a Doctor Who series starring Tom Baker and Mark Hamill with production design by H R Giger, I have no idea what that would have been like but I wish we'd found out 😭
What do H.R. Giger, the Archbishop of York, John Lennon, Mark Hamill, and Doctor Who have in common? They all get a mention in this month's shiny new Borthwick Newsletter! Find out more at the link:

While it's impossible to improve on perfection, Rowntree's attempted it in 1933 by adding a clear wrapping and a jaunty blue ribbon.
Incredibly, this was its last appearance in the catalogues, although some say on dark nights at the Cocoa Works you can still hear the distant rustle of cellophane...

You might think a Rowntree's Easter catalogue could have nothing to do with #Halloween, but that's because you haven't seen the two-sided chocolate twin face egg of 1932. A bargain at 1 shilling.

Liverpool look like a real glass cannon at the moment, reminds me of those early Klopp days when they couldn't defend but their attack was good enough to score more than they conceded

Weird watching the opening game of premier league season without my dad, Liverpool made heavy weather of it but got the result. Raising my glass to absent friends
