Shut up. Shutupshutupshutshutup

Thank you, Kate. And THANK YOU IGGY, for everything. I'll be back.

Fully expected to be too lazy to skeet again until Eurovision 2026, but I saw this from the ever-excellent @itpro.com and had to share. Please for the love of god stop putting AI-gen rhinos in your newsletters. www.itpro.com/technology/a...

I've sort of lost the social media habit since that boy burnt down Twitter. Haven't forgotten you, though. Here's a pic of Iggy watching last night's semi. He liked Malta.

For the Saturday Guardian I dug into the history of Ticketmaster and how the ticketing industry works to work out why tickets at the top level have become so expensive and hard to get www.theguardian.com/money/2025/m...

"When I look back on my life, I wonder how I survived - my mother said I had a guardian angel." Happy 80th birthday to Micky Dolenz, Born today 8th March 1945 #music #MusicSky #photography 📸 Johnny Franklin

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush (look out for the unimpressed manager!) www.facebook.com/BettyBooMani...

"Does the light from the stars mean you're not born?" Song I can't stop listening to of the day youtu.be/cOsFadmH584?...

Now playing Still Willing by Personal Trainer, who were brilliant at the Wedgewood Rooms this week but never did apologise for doodling all over our album cover ❤️

Real man vs whining little baby

Laid awake last night boiling with fury at the scenes I'd heard on the news. Putin's little appeasers (to use the polite word) Trump and Vance ganging up on Zelensky like playground bullies. Forgive the grinning loons in the picture below but it really is time to break out these t-shirts again.

RIP Gene Hackman. Many moons ago I had a beer with Luke Wilson (long story). I asked him who the coolest person in Hollywood was. He immediately said: "Gene Hackman. That guy is a total dude". (I then asked who was the biggest wanke..."Ryan Adams", he said, before I finished the question)

To each their own etc but I'm kinda baffled by people still using Twitter, watching that d-bag destroy our lives and still being like, yeah but his social media platform is cool. i mean I was addicted as anyone to that place and I got out, I don't get it.

imagine WANTING to receive two million emails

Today's MY Meldrew Day! I am 19,537 days old, Richard Wilson's age on the day One Foot In The Grave first aired. I don’t believe it! etc (you're not having a photo, our boiler is broken and I haven't washed since Sunday)

I will never not promote libraries, they are a vast public good and worth celebrating for themselves, and also they buy lots of books, which keeps a whole bunch of authors in the business. Please support them!

#Tate Britain's 'the 80s: photographing Britain is great. Moreso for completely avoiding the twin clichés of "punk" and "Blitz kids" (even in the "celebrating subculture" bit. Chapeau

Ooh I like this game. Here's yesterday's rainbow over the sweeping Hampshire countryside. #SundayPixBadPhoto

Siri, what are some things that happened to kings

Generally only takes 6 for me

What a beautiful couple! Photo from my collection, 1954.

#5albums70s3 @DavidBowieReal Ziggy Stardust (1972) Clearly a stone cold classic. Remarkably only reached no. 5 in the UK album chart. Amazing arrangements and changes of pace. You always hear some new, beautiful detail on each listen. Best track - Moonage Daydream #NowPlaying

If anyone needs me I'll be indoors listening to this stunning creation over and over and over again #Heartworms

What my bills see when I'm checking if it's a Valentine's card

May your Valentine love you even a little bit as much as Iggy loves his bowl of water in the bath.

Right then. Heartworms at the Joiners last night. Holy moly. Breathtaking, exhilarating, emotional. Tunes that blew the roof off. Jojo is a superstar. Last time I felt those feels at the Joiners was in 1992 when Brett Anderson slapped his arse through a haze of smoke.

Word of the day is ‘arsle’ (19th century): to have a distinct sense of going backwards.
