Phwoar! Haha! How wonderful, on my list!
There was someone carrying this sexy new paperback on the tube last night. It was me, as I have the only copy currently in circulation.
Read Sara’s thread about the infuriating replies she’s been getting. I think the internet has ruined how we interact. People are so used to scams they think everything must be dodgy and will try and make it dodgy even if they have to invent a job ad that doesn’t exist.
You spell it with a T not an S, mate
Right by a pub carpark...
Drove passed this sign today, must be the most overly aggressive river in all of Kent...
Loads of us here know the feeling. Pimping a book is the last thing you need as a writer, ugh, dirty. Started reading this, it's great. And the title alone sums up everything we all feel about the current state of the world. Surrender. Let this book swallow you. Tom's a good 'un. Buy it. ❤️
It is the hardest thing, so unfair, sending a hug to you. X
My mate @thejase.bsky.social has started offering guitar lessons. He’s one of the best musicians I’ve ever met… and I’ve met a fair few. If you want to get to grips with the guitar… you won’t do any better than Jase. 💥 bsky.app/profile/thej...
Watching Misery and I’ve just been reminded of something I reckon it might have influenced.
Awww, that's lovely! It is so beautifully constructed.
It's not my favourite exactly but all his kids were little at the time so you can totally understand that McCartney would create something like that. He certainly didn't deserve some of the meanness, he wrote Blackbird, ffs!
Yes it was all, 'Macca thumbs aloft' around that time in the music press wasn't it, treating him like a vaguely embarrassing uncle at a wedding...
This one just makes me howl with laughter every time! youtu.be/njwYO8N47xs?...

The BBC have hacked the new series of MasterChef to pieces
I went to the same drama school as Bruce Robinson, about 30 years apart though...but Withnail and I was utterly worshipped! Time Bandits was on Film4 just the other day, still utterly brilliant and weird and full of wonderful ideas!
Night! youtu.be/3CYvwN843cI?...
Haha!!
💀
We go now over to The White House...
It's that Jeffrey Epstein song again #totp bsky.app/profile/happ...
Not often you get a 70s #totp as good as that. Treasure it.
Still too soon.. #totp
Enjoy your heroes while they’re alive, kids #TOTP
That's a bit more fucking like it! #TOTP
Hmmm, #TOTP '79, why the long face?
Gary Numan older than Gary Willmott. #totp
He's an enthusiastic swinger, isn't he? #TOTP
Gary Numan watching a seagull fly away with his paper #totp
Imaani did us proud, finishing a mere six points behind winner Dana International. #TOTP
Absolute pointless, magnolia cover. #TOTP
Can you two shut up, I can't hear the music!! #TOTP
In all fairness Theakston did warn us at the start that this episode was shit #totp
Jaimie's shirt, Wembley Market, £4.99... #TOTP
She’s remembered the string, but forgotten her spectacles. #totp

The Mighty Shirehorses to give them their full title...
The Shirehorses version of Tattva is worth mentioning #TOTP
I would piss myself if they finally released "Carnival of Light" and it was just "Sound of Drums" by Kula Shaker. But, like, for ages.
The fake reverie of the keyboard player who looks like one of the singing corner is making me stabby... #TOTP
Name like a right wing Yorkshireman... #TOTP
Shaznay's vocals always sound like she's experiencing an 8.6 tremor on the reicter scale... #TOTP
God, this is so poor... #TOTP
I saw this a while ago, well worth a revisit, it's so beautifully done! X

Wonderful thank you Donna. You may well have seen this at the time, but I think this video is fab as well, and the ‘making of’ video shows what a labour of love it was. m.youtube.com/watch?v=F362...
A courteous but very impressive rebuke to Nigel Farage from the Bishop of Oxford. "I heard no compassion in what you said...". "I disagree profoundly with your attempts to ... increase fear of the stranger in our communities". Do read. blogs.oxford.anglican.org/an-open-lett...
I'm so sorry to hear you are having a bad time, it's so unfair, you are super talented. X
I've had a shit day, really losing the will to go on artistically because of AI, postal issues, online stores taking more, the hassle of changing to a new store, tax changes, trying to flog non essential items during a cost of living crisis, seeing other artists suffer, so again, fuck you Cameron
Were they?! I didn't know that! It's such a big production, like mini movie, you really get a sense of scale watching that!
It's good to see, we need more!
I bet some company will buy it and it'll be a luxury hotel.
My granny and grandad worked here in the 50s.
Office block in Edinburgh I went for a job interview at when I was 17.
Blimey O Reilly, sadly no! Haha!
Absolute fan fave, just beautifully done.
Ha! How brilliant, he is so nice, isn't he?
Hahaha! We were like locked in a corridor together, he wasn't weird or creepy at all! I have met him in real life and he is lovely!
Just had a flashback about my dream last night, I was in a very confined space with Patrick Stewart...He was very nice!
Yes, totally agree, there must be lots more to share as so much work went into creating it!
Still looks stunning, doesn't it?
Oooh... youtu.be/ijm7Fd_VDe4?...
The Guardian: Please fund us, the bad guys are in charge. A bad guy: Here’s my invoice.
The Guardian’s whole ‘please fund us because this is a fight against evil’ shtick would be more persuasive if they didn’t run endless pieces about e.g. why everyone is talking about avocado talc, written by someone called Avocado Talcum-Powder.
'Police Sting Operation' was right there.
Can Alex Ferguson be cloned? #GRIVMUN
Situation was sad enough without thinking he was murdered, his poor Mum!
I hope his family didn't know anything about that false report, how awful!
Popped on to @facebook and the place is dripping in racism hate & xenophobia And there’s no use reporting any of it because Facebook refuse to cooperate with the police The government needs to get a grip of social media and ensure any social media company that operates in the UK abides by UK laws
"I painted a St George's Cross on a roundabout. What have YOU done for this country?"
What Farage really means is he wants to prioritise rights for white British citizens
Oh no! Hugs to you, Mr Teatle. x
I wish I was up there screaming with them...
My friend: What do you want for your birthday? Me: Everything to stop hurting. Hope. A sense of direction. Optimism. I know that’s basically hope again but gosh we need it don’t we? You know, the world is so horrendous all I really want is a slice of light in the darkness. My friend: Me: Or a book
'Shot dead' oh my goodness, didn't know that was the initial report.
Just come up in my Facebook memories.
Haha!!
“Paul was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.”
It's always the bloody way, isn't it?! Social media, eh? It's a minefield! X
Peace and love...no autographs!
Exactly this. The media wanted violence, they wanted coverage of running street battles, they wanted coverage of minorities being attacked on the streets - because it makes ‘good’ television.
What’s fascinating is that they want it so much, they basically report it even in the absence of it actually happening.
I wish I could go to the pub with Pat Nevin and listen to his record collection after... #Countdown
Two words: “Due” and “Process”. Now go away.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
I've been seeing the new Teslas out on the roads in NY lately and something about them has been bugging me. It's not the new shape, it's not the color, it's not the new wheel design... Then it hit me: People went out and got a new Tesla in 2025.
Trump's hand is like in a film when someone has been bitten by a zombie and they try to hide it and are too cowardly and self serving to admit it and it gets worse and they go mad and everyone dies.
Ooooh, he is one sassy cow!
Ha! I do hope so! X
