@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Bravo on your Frosty the Snowman obesity verdict - “it’s all water retention”

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Listening to yesterday’s Frank Skinner podcast with the talk of your gaming podcast, I’m wondering how retro your reviews go. Would you do “Horace Goes Skiing”? (A superb 80s game for the ZX Spectrum) If you press play on the cassette now it might be loaded up by Xmas!!

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Loved your description of Donald Trump’s “slightly wacky attitude to numbers and thoughts” You should have taken wedding ring advice from my dad who had one fashioned from a sawn off piece of a pipe. 50 years now he’s been wearing his “bespoke” jewellery!

Hate seeks to divide us. But hope endures when we stand together. Our solidarity is with the Jewish community today. #britainstandstogether

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social Brought my dad to see you for the first time on Saturday and he asked “Is he the anxious sounding guy I’ve heard on the radio?” I wasn’t sure if that was fair. Anyway, you started the show standing about 3ft from us in row D, anxiously discussing your Bham sales figures!

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social Enjoyed the show tonight Mark, even the bit where things threatened to go a bit Baby Reindeer. We’re all a bit worried about you - give us three rings when you get home 🥰 Also, it’s lovely to see your son carrying on the Watson Cheeky Texts tradition 💰

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Can I congratulate you on QI/Why aye from Monday’s podcast? Lovely

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social Just seen on the MAC Birmingham website that they are close today “due to unforeseen circumstances” Presumably they’re busy working up this year’s excuse to make the Mark Watson crowd sit outdoors again…..

My Spotify subtitles are having fun with your name this morning @pierrenovellie.bsky.social

Letter in The Observer today. “I am a refugee. The UK made me a surgeon.”

Sounds like you absolutely battered us 0-0 yesterday @mkn1ght.bsky.social I wasn’t at the game. I’ve been to Goodison a few times but not yet had the chance to see a game in HD. (I’ll get me coat)

@ferguscraig.bsky.social BBC 5Live Breakfast are discussing queues at the bar in pubs. Get your rant in now!!

If you are in Edinburgh, go & see Joe Tracini. 8.25pm at the Underbelly, Bristo Square. Every night until the 24th. He is amazing & the show is incredible.

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social listening to yesterday’s Frankoff podcast on the train and chuckling to myself at your declaration that you’re “no Sherlock Holmes” but could probably work out the gas mask thing!! Also, the tortuous complications of the burger offer 😱

This made me think of your mom @realbaddiel.bsky.social That sounds wrong but I hope you’ll know what I mean!

Today's hero is definently the mayor of #Budapest, Gergely Karacsony. Despite Hungary's PM Orban's threat to get Karacsont arrested and put into prison, he still support and back up today's planned Pride Parade. My thoughts are with you all, marching for equality, diversity and love. #lgbt + 💪🏳️‍🌈🇭🇺🏳️‍⚧️💪

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Ah, the end of the working week and time for the Countdown final. You know we’re at the business end of things when @colinmurray1.bsky.social has got a jacket on

So tempted to work in the garden at some point. I think it’s going to happen this week. Obviously not if I’m in a meeting or a phonecall - then I’ll be sure to dash to a train carriage or a cafe to make sure I’m disturbing as many people as possible 🤭

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social Good morning Mr Ideas-Theme (If I may) Just listened to you on the Frank Skinner podcast and can I just say how much I’m looking forward to reading “Uncle Stinky’s Fart Machine”? (Illustrations by @pierrenovellie.bsky.social) Also, hello to Ken 😊

Worked it out in the end 🙈🙈🙈

Met the lovely Tim Key and bagged myself a signed first edition of the new book 😊

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Just listened to the podcast. Episode 69(!). Was shouting “Gloria Estefan!” at you when you were googling!! Knew you’d get there in the end. Loved Frank’s summary of his CV “I’ve trailed a vile demographic around these fair shores for nearly 40 years”

Confirmation that the Frank Skinner plaque is real!! Please also point out this meal deal to Frank @pierrenovellie.bsky.social

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Hi Pierre. Do you think you could ask the Frank on the radio podcast to open a Bluesky account and put pictures etc up? I’m far too old to be joining Instagram. (Even though my 72 year old dad is on there, bizarrely)

“The sins of the powerful are almost always sins of entitlement, committed by people whose lack of shame and brazen arrogance are stunning." #PopeFrancis #LetUsDream

Today we honor the flippered citizens of our icy nation. Whether you celebrate whilst eating a democracy sausage in Oz, doomscrolling in America, pulling maple taps in Canada, or elsewhere, we appreciate the support! #worldpenguinday

It’s FA Cup semi final day!!! So excited!!!!! Priorities: 1) Win the game 2) Enjoy the day 3) Don’t spend the rest of the week going “Guess how much they want for a bag of crisps at Wembley. Go on, guess”

When you've got a ton of work to do by Derek, and it's already quarter to Linda

@ferguscraig.bsky.social BBC Breakfast are just featuring a story about a man who’s cycling from Derby to Australia. Seems a bit similar to be a coincidence…..🤔

⭐️ MISSING DOG - PLEASE READ & SHARE ⭐️ Jeff’s best friend who he hangs with when I’m on the road has gone missing. Long-haired dachsie Posie was last seen this morning in Cherry Tree Woods in Muswell Hill/Highgate area of London, running towards East Finchley N6 area. The search is on - please help 😢

Two weeks today.

Forgot I was on a phone call about council tax Them: What band are you in Me: Erm, The Charlatans Them: Your council tax band? 😬

My lucky mother gets to spend her Mother’s Day watching the Villa game and then cooking me a roast. Lucky, lucky lady!

@aiannucci.bsky.social Just asked my sister who lives in Arbroath whether she’s watching the Villa game today or whether viewers in Scotland have their own programmes. (I know it’s not a thing anymore in these digital times but it makes me laugh to ask her and I always think of your show!)

Pond is currently full of frogs and it appears that this is the best entertainment they’ve ever known. It’s like Netflix for cats it seems! Teddy turning to gloat about how he’s got the best seat in the house (No frogs are harmed btw, they just like to watch them obsessively)

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Can I just say that you have changed daytime tv forever for me with your “When I’m on Satan’s griddle, my one comfort will be knowing the family are looked after” from today’s podcast? I listened at 6am and I’ve only just managed to stop laughing

“And you’ll struggle to see Uranus too.”
