‘I love a bit of mischief!’ Liza Tarbuck on why she’s swapping her Radio 2 mic for a potter’s wheel

#Audience #Fan #fans #Gang #Love #miss #music #over #wheel

Her riotous weekly show had an army of devoted fans. Now Tarbuck has joined the ranks of star presenters leaving the BBC – and she’s getting her hands dirtyA tragedy. A national disaster. A loss to the cultural landscape that should be discussed in parliament. These were just a few listener reactions when Liza Tarbuck left her Radio 2 show earlier this year. “I was bereft about it, too,” sighs Tarbuck. “I miss angsting over the playlist. I miss the texts and emails. For two hours every weekend, we were a proper gang.”Tarbuck hosted her Saturday evening show for 14 years, building it into the funniest show on British radio. Her riotous mix of freewheeling chat and hand-picked tunes (the music could span nine decades in the same show) drew an audience of 2 million, and received more messages from listeners – 50 per minute – than any other programme on the station.

George Furbank on his latest injury woe: ‘I was hoping I would get to the hospital, just fart and leave’

#Championship #Injury #key #Match #Medal #miss #Rugby #South Africa #Steve Borthwick #team #teammate #Union #winner

Full-back missed out for England when he had appendix out but could be key for Steve Borthwick if his luck changesGeorge Furbank must have cracked a few mirrors in his time. A second Prem winners’ medal was some way to bring the curtain down on his Northampton career but when it comes to England, he cannot catch a break. Indeed, it is staggering to consider the 29-year-old full-back has just 14 caps to his name, only one more than his former Saints teammate Henry Pollock, who is only 21.It was supposed to be No 15 against South Africa in July – more than 18 months since his previous England appearance – but Furbank woke up feeling off colour the day before the match and was sent for a scan by the team doctor. The results arrived at 7pm on the Friday night – Furbank would need to stay in hospital and have his appendix out on the Saturday. The wait would go on. Continue reading...

1VERSE turns claw-machine frustration into new track 'LOOP'

#difficulty #Game #loop #miss #reaching #Released #spin #track #turn

K-pop boy group 1VERSE is back with "LOOP," turning that universally relatable sting of a missed claw-machine prize into an infectious, high-octane electronic pop anthem. Marking its first release since January, the group takes an everyday moment of playful annoyance and spins it into a sleek, fast-paced rhythm that hits home for listeners anywhere in the world. 1VERSE released “LOOP” at noon on Friday in Korea, with members Kenny, Nathan and Aito contributing to the song’s lyrics and composition. Inspired by the cycle of reaching for a prize, missing it and deciding to try “just one more time,” “LOOP” uses arcade-style electronic sounds and a tense, game-like progression to capture the pull of repeated failure. Michelle Cho, CEO of Singing Beetle, said the song explores how a small expectation can become difficult to abandon as repeated attempts turn into a cycle that is increasingly hard to escape. Nathan said “LOOP” brings to mind playing a claw machine in an arcade, where failure only makes another attempt feel more necessary. Kenny said his own difficulty with claw m

England bat Pakistan out of third Test before Robinson moves in for the kill

#Bat #Cricket #Match #miss #ollie #over #Pakistan #run #set #sweep #wicket

Brook, Lawrence and Smith miss out on centuriesOllie Robinson takes two wickets in first overFriday is the only sold-out day of this third Test but whether that translates into a full house remains to be seen. Much like the series itself, the contest is long since over, set in motion by Pakistan’s howling collapse on the first day and then compounded by England’s ruthlessness on the second.Although for all that England’s march to a 3-0 clean sweep appears a formality, there should in theory be a decent chunk of cricket to enjoy. Joe Root’s side are still eight wickets away from enjoying a weekend at leisure, with Pakistan, set to resume on 52 for two, 268 runs away from making them bat again. Continue reading...
