Tin whistle solo played on a violin #totp
Certified banger from b-asterisk-witched #totp
No song lyrics? My favourite bit.
(I’ve had a few goes on the bikes and they are fine.)
Randomly stops accelerating around 3/4 of a mile short of my destination and then I need it to push it to an approved parking space at Marlebone station. That can get squarely in the bin.
Just tried the a Lime scooter. What, and I use this phrase advisedly, the absolute fuck?
How do you answer your phone?
When will my London Underground return from the war
Sorry, PinkPantheress
Pink Pantheress on the Radio 4 six o’clock news, terrific scenes.
There was a UK government minister appointed this week who was born while Savage Garden were number 1

Twenty people were assessed by paramedics with all except one discharged at the scene. One person has been taken to hospital, the emergency services response has been stood down, and T4 s reopening. A source at the Met Police said an incident may have "snowballed".
We are reporting a MASS HYSTERIA EVENT at Heathrow that closed Terminal 4 for a bit. No-one was hurt.
It seems a little late to be properly considering the implications for the first time but I join you in properly considering the implications for the first time.
As ever with the portrayal of journalism in drama, it’s laughably wrong, though.
LATE NIGHT TV OPINION TIME. “Hostage” isn’t always as terrible as everyone seems to be saying it is. But that’s as nice as I can be about it.
Brand new on Dirty Feed: today is the 50th anniversary of the studio recording of Fawlty Towers, "Gourmet Night". That episode's famous ending is pictured here. But it wasn't the originally intended finale. Instead, things were going to get rather more peculiar... www.dirtyfeed.org/2025/09/luck...
My absolute favourite genre of Katie Morley Consumer Champion column in today’s Telegraph: a couple who booked a cruise at the 24th week of pregnancy and were turned away at the gangplank. She tells them not to be so ridiculous.
Must go and pay tribute at Mentmore Close in Kenton.
Details details
Men have been Home Secretary for a total of less than two years since 2010.
Blimey, the credits that take you from Fawlty Towers to Hollyoaks in a single leap.
This gets a fairly substantial yikes from me.
My favourite current Instagram reel is the Australian guy at the drive-thru asking “Could I get a big bucket of soup?”
All started going wrong at about tooth hurty
*looks at the cricket score* Sorry what
Congrats on keeping the same blazer
Brown eyed girl?
On the trail of Salford T-Bone. This is a good read. manchestermill.co.uk/manchester-f...
Hats off to whoever at the Met Police decided to list all 114 people charged with supporting Palestine action, but using Roman numerals.
I’d like to see the historical data to explain this, perhaps John Burn-Murdoch of the Financial Times could produce a graph.
My 14yo tells me that being a one-strapper is the height of shame these days. I would have been physically bullied for carrying my school backpack with two straps.
“News person”
No.
Blimey, I hope one of tomorrow’s newspapers has taken *very* good legal advice.
As soon as I saw Fabian Hurzeler dressed like he was a 15-year-old meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time, I knew Brighton would beat Manchester City today #BHAFC
Europe here we come! #bhafc
I’ve been a subscriber since I was sixteen and had to ditch my back issues when my mum not unreasonably wanted more space in her house. This was the only edition I kept.
I danced with Cerys Matthews there after one of her gigs. I’d only just moved to London and it felt so showbiz.
First five minutes of the highlights are very much worth a look. youtu.be/C4IbtOYK1RU?...
Remember the name.
The Enid Blyton joke is still funny.
They’re 2-1 up against big boys Weymouth.
Hampshire non-league outfit Tadley Calleva playing in the FA Cup on iPlayer. Their fans missing a trick by not singing their team’s name to the tune of the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer”

It’s a braw! Bricht! Moonlicht nicht!
Crowdfund me to use the mechanical orchestra machine in the basement to record a cover of “Hoots Mon” by Lord Rockingham’s XI
Fraser co-owns a bar which caters at Middlesex outgrounds. Don’t think I’ve knowingly been to a footballer’s pub.
An electrically powered mechanical orchestra!
At the cricket and I’ve been served a pint by Angus Fraser.
Grimsby has one of the best demonyms in the UK (a noun like Londoner or Glaswegian). People from Grimsby are GRIMBARIANS.
The UK Number 1 when Rio Ngumoha was born was “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry.
Currently on 4Extra/BBC Sounds is the very good mid-90s comedy drama “In The Red” featuring BBC crises and a political insurgency called “the Reform party”
Starship: Something's Gonna Stop Us Now
Suddenly got an urge for a cold refreshing pint of Hill Dickinson
That’s what Record Review is for to be fair.
This is a good day for The News. (Noel Clarke v Guardian, handy press summary) www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

A few years ago the government published the home addresses of everyone on the new year honours list by mistake, including Elton John. Incredible scenes.
This is the second thing I’d enact as Supreme Leader of the UK, after making school kids study languages all the way through and bloody well enjoy them.
Yes. Check out @meldrewpoint.bsky.social
(Series 2 episode 1). Anyway ours is fine. And Mrs Warboys didn’t come to collect us.
Every time I come back from a holiday I think of the first episode of One Foot In The Grave, the one where the Meldrews return from Luton airport to find their home destroyed by fire.
Sounded a bit like Boris Johnson and got away with being let through for an extra 90 cents.
The worst thing happened today lads: wrong turn on a French motorway meaning I needed to press the “help” button at a péage and explain myself.
Brighton have missed out on a European place by two points after conceding a late goal at home to underfancied Fulham #bhafc
This is great fun from @hitsville.bsky.social - well worth a read for anyone involved in #podcasting podnews.net/article/i-ha...
We are sad to report that longtime Blue Peter Editor Biddy Baxter has died at the age of 92. We salute a true pioneer, who navigated changing times in the television industry with instinct, tenacity and style.
Ahhh. Thanks.
He ran an antiques shop there after giving up showbiz.
Former CBI boss Tony Danker was my favourite for this.
Puccini headhunters in Lewes station car park apparently.
Haha! It worked! I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh? #Edinburgh #RedArrows #Photography
The jury service age limit is 75 and she is 78.
Went to see some of my childhood friends, three brothers, for a nice memorial for their parents. The partner of one of them brought a friend herself. *This* friend, it transpired, moved into the home I moved out of age 8. She had the same bedroom as me. Not sure what the chances of that are.
“After BBC London's most recent approach to the club this week, they again declined to give details but said: ‘The ban is now for life and that will never change.’”
Children’s toys that should have been Viz cartoons, no 8
India were very good: better than the sum of their parts. It was a fair result in the series I reckon.
I’m worried about England’s capacity to bowl strong sides out, and it’s the Ashes next.
“Each run is like having a tooth extracted” - one of the great lines of commentary for Jonathan Agnew earlier.

An England bowler has signed up to appear on OnlyFans this morning and it’s still not the most ridiculous thing in cricket in the past two hours.
Cricket eh
This is a terrific listen
This is a nice interview with my pal and the biggest music nerd I know @matthewjrudd.bsky.social
The serialisation of the new book about Prince Andrew is an eye-opener for several reasons.
Wrestled (and came to an accommodation) with the Magistrates Court Act 1980; made some colleagues do a four hour round trip from Leeds; saw my favourite current cricketer outside a pub on the way home. Long day at work.
Blue balls for centrists to the tune of “Springtime for Hitler” (Sorry I’ve been at work for 15 hours.)
Thanks! Where did you see it?
Oh lovely, would you mind if I put this on my special instagram account highlighting the continued use of 01 on signs?

"Pollution" is brilliant www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPrA...
Lehrer was a supreme satirist and way ahead of his time (Two songs about foreign policy, Send The Marines and Who's Next, are still funny and topical now). But he was an amazing performer too; better than anyone who has tried to cover his songs. See the evidence on YouTube.
And that's why they got a London Overground line named after them.
