This is the 500th edition of Jewels For The Thirsty (the blog's title comes from an XTC song called...Senses Working Overtime - see what I did there?)
I've selected one item from each of the top 6 most popular weeks of all time (well, since it started with week #1 in April 2015).
1 The most popular week so far has been #178 -
John Cage's 10 rules for teachers (#178 from 2018)
2 Christmas is football (# 193 - below is from 2019)
Always a frenzy of activity over the festive period - notably Liverpool lost their 100% winning record and Man City lost three games! Loads of drama to follow on MOTD.
As to my teams - Rochdale are solid in the lower reaches of League One and the gunners wobbled. But we still beat Spurs 4-2!!
January transfer window is always interesting. We need some defenders please.
3 The Fab Fabs (#263, from 2020)
They heighten my senses every day, let alone every week.
4 Vinyl celebration #213 (below is from 2019)
It's been a funny old week. But then I connected up my turntable after a long time in storage. It felt good! This week's edition is late. Wah wah. Cry me a river. Here are five plus vinyl celebrations.
5 Waterloo Sunset (#209, below is from 2019)
The Kinks masterpiece goes under the Thom Hickey microscope on his great blog - The Immortal Jukebox.
Overtime: Senses working overtime #57 (below is from 2016. This one is a peach. Hard to pick just one item so do yourself a giant favour and go to the link. But if you shove...try):
Cool
I was never a cool kid, never hip, so this piece from a kindred spirit struck a nice chord.
