As my Mother said on every grey day when on holiday in Cornwall: if there’s enough blue sky to make a pair of sailor’s trousers it’s going to be a nice day!

Certainly on London buses there used to be - might still be - and emergency button that opens the door right next to said door. Tends to annoy the driver. Fine line between annoying the driver and the delayed passengers. Best keep to to 2 presses. 3 if you’re feeling petty

Turns out a new Rotation buddy is friends with a client of mine. Hope I left a reasonable first impression @gerryoberry.bsky.social
Saw DJ Shadow in Brighton not so long ago. Very good he was - I reckon he was the better half of UNKLE
Gonna have to narrow that down a bit
Good work sir
Ah yes, the party of free speech - the same one that bans publications that write things they don’t like from attending their conferences. The great @bylinetimes.bsky.social being just one
Until you have to empty it 🙄
Same as it ever was
Last November Farage told Sky News: “I’ve just exchanged contracts on the house that I’ll be living there in – is that good enough?… *I’ve bought a house in Clacton* What more do you want me to do?” Oh, I dunno Nigel. Tell the truth? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
This hot mic Zuckerberg moment show their numbers are all lies, undercutting Trump’s entire economic agenda. In a rational world every media outlet would be leading with it.
Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.

Mrs H coming inn November too!
Am keeping my powder (not that sort) dry for November… ✊

Like it
Seriously, I would have asked them to change the channel. Nasty, poisonous and dangerous. If OffCom had any teeth they’d be off air by now
So true
Well worth a watch if you’ve not already seen it - just over 2 mins of class Farage demolition youtu.be/w839i-Yw4u4?...

Certainly looks nicer than my Huel and creatinine ’shake’ Hmm, not so much
My flatmate got to the paper seller as they were pulling the 1st editions off the newsstand. One of them had an article on Diana that started by saying that it was a shame Gucci didn’t do zips as they sid one could be used to zip up her mouth. The hypocrisy shown my the press was off the scale
Doh, where’s the edit feature *did same today
Didn’t same today. Gonna be playing pod booking roulette next week
Body & Soul? Tomorrow? where?
Rotation ‘26 tickets secured. Countdown commences… 🎪
Ah, when you said enhanced I assumed you meant you’d manually enhanced it yourself 😜
Nah, I can see you have more than a basic level of photography chops about thee than I
Must get round to understanding, maybe even using Photoshop one day. However, the saying is true: give a fool a tool, they’re still a fool. I’m a photography fool

Listening now. All good thus far, no doubt it’ll continue 🎶📻📡
Always been keen on a Merrel. There, said it
He’s too saucy
The em dashes give away the real writer.
Is that a window made of milk bottles, a la Stig of the Dump? Nowt meant by it. Stig was a hero ✊
Or if you’re not good at avoiding shite music, The Proclaimers. I don’t care if 1 or 2 of their songs are ones ‘everyone can sing along to’
Anyone know if Mark Seven has put his set from Rotation online anywhere? Drawn a blank at @mixcloud.bsky.social and SoundCloud.
Young..? M People were around over 30 years ago!
6AM finish 😳
Housemartins c. ‘86
AI is so cool.
Next year… 1st weekend of August. BN1
Always love the atmosphere at Pride. Streets full of love, joy, celebration 🌈
I’m off to be an ally* in Brighton *drink in pubs with a great crowd and listen to good music.
Ah, well, windchill less of an issue then 👌
Have you taken into account windchill? I hear there’s a gusty storm coming up North. Windchill makes an awkward temp even trickier
Why are folks making the Spotify move, and where are they tending to move to - Apple, Tidal?
What do @Nigel_Farage and dogs have to do with the Online Safety Bill? Find out in the latest #BrokenNews report at 5pm. Please share this message with the hashtag #BrokenNews.
Remember those gross places where fish ate your feet? Exactly the same. Fishy business indeed!
What, when, how can this news make it to the rest of us?
One of the oldest clubs in the country being driven to the brink by a shambolic owners. Absolute travesty
Do an aqui-hire of @larryandpaul.bsky.social They always nail the important issues of the day
Superb 👌
I’d have done a T&J shot. Maybe we did 🤷
The Tom Wainwright? I like the description in th listing on Bandcamp - sounds like the song was spawned in very similar set up to the yurt
Superb work Mr Kelly. Many thanks for the linkz One of my standout Yurt songs and moments. Goose bumps listening to it again
But what was the song that sampled/used the Stone Roses lyric?
To quote @acidgrandads.bsky.social… I just want to be back in the Yurt
May well come back to you on that. D’you know how many it sleeps?
We’re already looking at motor home hire!
Somehow made it through. And a great third night it was too.
Lovely to meet you and Mr MoonCakes. See you both in November
What A Night 🎪 And Another One Tonight 🕺🏼
Who’s here? 🎪
If Rotation was like Gatecrasher, which thank b’jesus it couldn’t be further from (I assume, first time visitor this weekend 😂) then you could’ve made some kinda accessory with them
Roofbox will be serving me proud tomorrow. Pretty much all packed. Let’s GO 🎪
If trying them out today maybe give them half hour or so… technical issues. It’s a ‘community radio station’, ie not part of some big corporate, and it happens now and again.
I’d say ‘unsettled’. Some showers, but a gentle breeze to help dry things off in between showers. Weel be reet. Wellies ✅ Crocs ✅ Positive outlook ✅ Strong constitution ✅

I’ve pretty much ditched 6 Music in favour or 1BTN. Superb local (to me) station. A number of this weekend’s DJ’s have shows on there (Alice Palace, Kelvin Andrews, Balearic Mike etc) If you’re using Alexa you have to say “play 1BTN FM’.
Per night?
Ooh, nice. Nearby sounds very relaxing and cleansing! I’m driving up from Sussex. Was going to get train, but given the amount of stuff I need to bring to make camping almost bearable the (mid sized) SUV and roofbox it is!
I had that one 2 days ago. So convincing… yeah right 🙄
The yurt will be dry tho 😝. Deffo wellies and raincoats for the bits in between. As long as I’m not having to put my tent up in the rain on Friday I’m good with it all ✊
Sit down tomorrow and before they can ask a question just say, “so, how can I help you?”
Gotcha
Will there be a v2 for November..?
Er, that’s a disco ball. Looks more like a ball bearing. Dancing not firing from a Black Widow catapult
🪩
Think Wednesday are in the market…
With one week to go, and the forecast not looking as good a few days ago, we’re back to a great looking prediction:
Oof
Was at a work party in LA once (I know, right?) and we had Snoop Dog DJing (he’ll do owt for the right amount of dollar). He just put on a wedding Spotify playlist and had his entourage handing out spliffs to people. Very funny to watch, but no DJing skills at all
Very tempted by We Out Here next year…
Maybe LV kept him on his toes 🤷
He doesn’t loon like that these days! He did play a blinding B2B set with Louie Vega at Southport last year tho
It’s an amazing setting and perfect for day parties… which are all the rage with us GenX die hards. Not sure what else they’ve got planned for the summer. This weekend is their last publicised event
Looking forward to it
I’m gonna stay quiet for a day or two on that one. All I’ll say is that current advice is to be all backed up by lunchtime on the Monday 🌩️
And week after most of the Rotation DJ’s are playing at We Are Love - also down this way - but there’s no way I can do 2 weekends on the bounce. I’d implode
Rotation week after tho ✊
It does indeed. I’m not far from there. Knew nowt about it until last week 🙄. Would be going it but got a big get together that I can’t now get out of
Barlow Mow this weekend?
*doesn’t
Couldn’t agree more - even asked me for access to my Contacts. I declined yet it still seemed to tell me which of my contacts has a sub stack registration 🤷
After much faffing with substack app and registrations it does appear to have started
***must not look at forecast everyday***
