Near Elephant & Castle, London, last night…

@deserterblog.bsky.social Not a media outlet overlap I expected...

His huge pergola in Hampstead is also on the register - saw it for the first time last night.

Why do we wait until legends are dead before we do this kind of thing..?

This is great - for northern, North Walesian and Scots Bowie fans and for Blackpool. I can't wait to see this museum.

Booked a seat with extra leg room on my flight home. 👍

BlueSky still doesn't have enough #seaside content! Help us to change that on #nationalseasideday tomorrow...

We had a Sgt. Pepper's with a Macca signature on it in when I worked at Oxfam, Brighton. We all eventually assumed it was fake, but...

Having seen this at Mighty Hoopla I thought it was brilliant - but it's a live, self-contained pop opera, not a gig.

Wrong link, this is the Stoke one: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

While I'm bigging up old BBC programmes, this is very good if you've spent any time in #Stoke. I love the early joke about the vase. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #insomnia

This is one of the all time episodes. Also features Andy Burnham's shorts at the start of their career. Top of the Pops, 28/06/1979: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b046w5p4

Ooh, it was true - they must have had a source after all! Good on him, though I wonder what Cornwall will think.

Just mis-read this as PieMinister (you know like the, erm, pie place) - surely that's an open goal, but is it too soon to start it? Tabloid subs, my DMs are open. #Wigan

No!! RIP, Penelope - I'm so glad we got the chance to see how great she still was this year.

I think the Manics have already done what they can.

View of Bollington, Cheshire from above this afternoon, with Manchester in the back left if you zoom in.

So this, it seems, is Stockport on a hot Foodie Friday night these days. I honestly wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it - amazing!

Henry Willett collection of everyday Victorian ceramics, including Staffordshire figures, will soon return to Brighton Museum. brightonmuseums.org.uk/brightons-po...

Each word in this headline is utterly impossible to predict from the one that precedes it.

I loved this but I can't have had a clue what was going on - I was three years old. What time was it on?! I feel like it was after Weekend World! It probably has a lot to answer for.

Paul knows everything about derelict London, and particularly when it comes to popular culture. The book looks great.

I'm sorry but of course he's going to have an office in Manchester, that's his constituency and his home. Who is "Number 10 of the north" a quote from? What's the source for the story? The fear smear starts here. What would be so bad about increased decentralisation of activity, anyway?

And now it's even older - so annoying.

John Soane's famous tomb, which inspired the red phone box by Giles Gilbert Scott, is also here!

GREAT stat: one in six of all British prime ministers _ever_ will be at Remembrance Sunday this year. [assuming nothing bad happens] [pray 4 JMPM] diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2026/06/all-...

This is such a good and informative listen:

Anyone else got a cat on their knee..? What is wrong with cats?!

Good evening! This week's theme is Interiors. ------ 'Kensington Interior' (1912) by Frank L. Emanuel (Tate)

Crowd control! He was more popular than he thought.

Always sensible to wait for the off-peak fares.

DO NOT PUBLISH UNTIL NEWS IS CONFIRMED A look back at the PM's political career

Regardless of whatever else is going on, if I were Prime Minister I would resign on Monday simply because it’s going to be too hot next week

Just look at these listings. Half a mile from my front door.

I've loved Kevin McLeod's Listed Britain & the last ep was particularly wonderful/odd for me, featuring 3 organisations I've worked for and 3 former or current colleagues: Tim O'Brien at the Uni of Mcr's Jodrell Bank, @colourwoman.bsky.social at the Royal Pav and Helen Dorey @soanemuseum.bsky.social

It's not a hot take as I think it came out a fortnight ago, but the half-season finale of #Rivals was sensational. The previous episode w/ the It's A Knockout stuff had me losing patience with its triviality, but then! Truly storming (geddit?) performances by those proper actors they so wisely cast.

Some exciting news… but first we need a team More info on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/posts/seanin... & Insta www.instagram.com/p/DZj5RCgDlTY/ Please spread the word Apply here: thesounding.org/jobs

I'm sorry but isn't that sixty thousand pounds a year? And there isn't even a shopping centre!

Perhaps, alongside his bids to change the direction of the Labour Party and our government, Burnham will destroy any credibility Reform had gained by holding them to account with such focus twice in quick succession. They surely can't win in huge Gtr Mcr, where so many aren't their target audience.
