Only watch if you feel comfortable doing so. But, this clearly shows exactly what happened

Google the video & see for yourself. This is not law enforcement. This is murder. Sickening.

We won the pub quiz, lads. And in other news: world gone mental.

"Who is the man who appears unexpectedly in an OS map..?"

Or “Mr Nice”, as he’s sometimes known.

It's snowing in London. I'm so happy for you and can't wait to see it on the news.

So very very strange. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Probably people who were talking loudly in the reference section, as a warning to others. Oh, Iberians.

People seem to have stopped saying “emergency podcast”, so maybe 2026 won’t be so bad, after all.

Enjoyed ep1 of The Night Manager a lot. Sidebar: Hiddlestone is not aging well.

Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your jackboots were stolen

I miss the audience on Counterpoint. 🙁

“Ladies and gentlemen. I suppose you’re wondering why I’ve gathered you all here today… Now, I do not say this lightly but… one of you… is the murderer!”

What I remember most about the Tin Machine period (I was 18-21 and *really* into music of all sorts) is not giving a shit about Tim Machine. #BowieTheFinalAct

Watched “The Mastermind”. Underwhelmed.

Went out today. Snowy and that.

As soon as I heard Biggins being interviewed about it, I knew they’d got it wrong.

I also want to know if the dog won.

Does anyone know who regularly drew the EastEnders strip for the BBC Enterprises title “Fast Forward”? Signed only as “DE”. Magazine launched in September 1989 and ran until 1995

What an unexpected pleasure it has been to hear Andrew Peach sitting in on R3 Breakfast. Bravo!

It sounds like comically specific hyperbole but it is verifiably true that in the same year Elon Musk predicted fully autonomous taxis serving half the nation, what actually happened was his chatbot became a pedophile

You'd think the British government (and everyone else still using X for 'reach') would not want to be known to be frequenting a platform that carries and actually generates child porn. And yet they keep posting there.

Huge if true. Approximately the size of Wales.

Even if you *like* the people chattering, is it wrong for me to expect more from Radio 4 than people …chattering?

Have suspected this for a loooong time. (From others being rude, of course!)

A happy new year to you and of course to Trevor Brooking

RTing myself again because this took three days to prepare.

If you reframed this as “values”, people might find it harder to pretend it’s a problem. If someone has fundamentally different values to yours, you might be less inclined to form a relationship with them. It goes beyond preference.

Wonderful to hear the traditional north Wales fireworks for midnight in (checks notes) Dubai.

I’ve found what I’d put in my Room 101. And Room 101 is my kitchen, right now.

My favourite Christmas tv special was Amandaland. #NoOneAsked

I implied a robin was male.

Can I back date my appointment?

“Feel the hwyl” is a terrible way to market an entire country.

I’d forgotten how good ET is. Sometimes just switching on the ordinary tv gives you exactly what you didn’t know you needed. #PhoneHome

I confess: my initial scepticism was wildly misplaced.

Also, in May, my next poetry book, Let The Quiet Ones Rise, comes out and so does paperback of Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, aiming to visit a few bookshops and libraries so please do get in contact if you’d like me to visit

This from @vizcomic.bsky.social will never get old.

Some policies I can live with.

Please quote this with interactions with non-famous people you already know, eg I went for a drink with Neil and Jim last week

British citizenship isn't a privilege bestowed onto the very best humans on the planet. As we are about to see in town centres all over the country on New Year's Eve

I’ve mentioned this before but Henry Winkler once accidentally stepped on my foot in Starbucks on Regent St.

I seem to have woken up in 1529…

This has happened to me. It was the tv, rather than a clock… but it came on at 5am. And guess which idiot forgot it was still programmed the next night…!

7.45pm

Ghost Stories for Christmas with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Radio 4 on Sat 27th Dec. 'A special concert of tales and music celebrating the tradition of ghost stories at Christmas.' www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

You know they used to have audiences watching grizzly dissections; gazing on in bewildered silence as they sliced up a cadaver. Well, it was like that.

You're not the only one.
