Your Party My Party Everybody Move Your Party #LetsAllChant

Just had a message from my wife that she has got me an arancini for lunch from the farm shop, and that, in a nutshell, is why we are still married

People think Britain was a better place when they were prettier, had more sex, went out more and didn't go oof every time they moved.

Fuck Black Friday. Fuck it all to hell.

Re all the Bond bollocks. Christopher Nolan killed Batman. Since then there have been more Batmen. And one was Ben Affleck. Just make another Bond with a different actor. My cheque is in the post

NEW COMMA BLOG ✍️ Nigel Kneale & the Halloween that Never Was By @mrgeetsromo.bsky.social 🎃 Andy Murray explores the Manx folklore that fuelled Kneale's stories from Quatermass to Tomato Cain, & the Halloween III script that never saw the light of day. 📜 commapress.co.uk/blog/nigel-k...

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Saw this. Wept for most of the second act. Human and urgent and topical and well just bloody great.

A short film that I wrote. A series of micro dramas that I’ve written to be used as show reels for actors @northwestendacting.bsky.social. Hopefully filming my own as an actor soon. youtu.be/hJIxfmWh1zg?...

My timeline is full of people who’ve watched Del Toro’s Frankenstein on Netflix and calling it a masterpiece and my immediate thought is imagine if you’d watched it at the cinema

The one thing that would improve my life immeasurably would be the return of Worcester sauce-flavoured Twiglets

I’m staying at my mum’s house. Opened a cupboard to get a spare pillow and WTF

If you came to see Red Or Dead at Liverpool Royal Court back in March/April and you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed doing it please consider voting for us in the 2026 WhatsOnStage Awards in any applicable category but Regional Theatre in particular awards.whatsonstage.com/26th-annual-...

Today I deactivated my Twitter account. I realised it was a major stress point. The constant diet of racism and Trump and violent rhetoric was making me sad. So it’s all gone. It was good while it lasted but then Elon fucked it all

Huge if true

Name a band that should have been huge and as far as you know you are the only person that likes them. I’ll start

Will the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew now be known as Symbol Andrew?

First lot of Jerusalem artichokes from the allotment! Going to roast them tonight with a toad in the hole

I think this might be the best ever movie soundtrack. No comebacks

If you see this, post with a concert pic you took.

Word Up. Tune. #totp

Two keytars AND a keyboard #totp

The mullet. The rolled up jacket sleeves. The keytar. Michael McDonald in full effect #totp

This was my favourite iteration of Eurythmics. Clem Burke on drums. Leather. Proper band #totp

This is actually making me want to listen to Johnny Mathis #totp

Embrace the worst lyric in pop history #totp #life

This is Hardcore is very underrated. This was the only obvious single #totp

Fi5e using Bewitched’s dance mat #totp

The low point of the Bunnymen. Lower than when they recorded that baggy album without McCulloch #totp

I loathe Mariah Carey for no good reason other than she’s awful #totp

When a Del Amitri football song is the best thing so far you know this is an awful #totp

Alexia. Turn this off #totp

This don’t impress me much #totp

Nope sorry. No memory whatsoever. Sorry Lutricia. It’s not you, it’s me. I’m stranded #totp

Which one is Hot and which one is Juicy? It’s important #totp

Effortless cool. Another legend gone.

My wife is growing Jerusalem artichokes in her allotment this year. There may be a few

In the year of ‘There Will Be Blood’ and ‘No Country For Old Men’, ‘The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford’ was better than both of them.

This year I have acted in two proper plays, acted in a set-written (co-authored) short play at Shakespeare North, had a short play performed at the INK festival 2025, submitted two short plays for INK 2026, finished a full-length play, and written several monologues and self-tape scenes.

Excited that PictureHouse’s Hitchcock season contains Frenzy, which remains my favourite of his films. Never seen it on the big screen

In 1992 I was living in London, alone and very unhappy. Not sure how I missed this album about being alone in London and very unhappy but I did and now @needlemythology.bsky.social have re-released it and I know it’s my album of the year even though it’s more than 30 years old.

Well as a first game of the season that was a curtain raiser and a half. What posesses Slot to take off Frimpong and Kirkez I’ll never understand.

The Ballad of Wallace Island is now into its eighth week at our local PictureHouse cinema, which shows that people are still going to see this beautiful little film and that maybe cinema is not as dead as I feared

That advert for retail travel in cinemas is really annoying me - the one with the gran telling her granddaughter about her first love in Italy. But it’s not Italy, it’s obviously Port Meirion and now I’m worried for the girl as she can’t believe a single word her grandmother says

I’ve been writing sides - short scripts for two actors . Three pages max, two to three minutes of screen time. Little dramas. I’ve done 7 so far and am really pleased with them. They are going to be filmed for show reel purposes by members of @northwestendacting.bsky.social

It’s funny how many listed buildings acquired by property developers go up in flames

I’m briefly in this but mercifully brief. The card game in holding - Woodland Snap - was a game my brother and I played when very little. Vividly remember playing it by candlelight during power cuts. Found it amongst his belongings after he died. He’d kept it. Thanks Darren. A lovely song
