I generally try to avoid medical dramas, keeping work and pleasure apart and all that, but #ThePitt is very very good.

Pretty impressive that both Badenoch and Gove are on #BBCLauraK today and yet they aren’t the worst guests on there. Yep, you guessed it - Reform are on again …

Been listening to this album today. Wasn’t sure what to expect but it’s a superb listen. #Flea #Honora www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

If this isn’t the Tom Skinner from Sons of Kemet and @thesmiletheband.bsky.social, I’m going to be so disappointed. #BBCQT

Excellent week so far for fans of Stewart Lee on podcasts. Great listens on Louis Theroux, @podsavetheuk.crooked.com and now #StrongMessageHere @aiannucci.bsky.social

Not sure Thom will be happy with Ed with leaking this out, but this is excellent news. #Radiohead www.nme.com/news/music/t...

This sounds exactly what the masochist in me would enjoy. Booked a 24 hour ticket. factoryinternational.org/whats-on/ai-...

I’ve listened to Rob Key on both the Sky and TMS podcasts, yet I can barely recall a word he said.

The only way this review would have been less pointless and more interesting was if they conducted it like the Covid Inquiry. Every participant being interviewed by QCs and televised live.

Today I learnt that Mike Atherton and Damon Albarn share the same birth date and that made me very happy. Both 58 today.

Finally caught up with #SNLUK and it turns out it’s actually great fun.

I’ve had worse Sundays. #ManCity

Why are both managers dressed the same? #CarabaoCup

What better way to spend the early afternoon of Cup Final day than looking at Cubist paintings and artwork depicting menstruation and abortion. Both Tate Modern exhibitions brilliant. #Picasso #TraceyEmin

Almost looks like a Lowry painting. #Wembley

Didsbury Ultras en route to Wembley. Cappuccino and croissant of course … #ManCity #mcfc

Seen a few Gorillaz gigs over the years, and tonight was up there with the best. Awesome show.

This meningitis outbreak kind of makes me morbidly miss what Matt Hancock would have to say about it.

The calm before the inevitable misery. #ManCity #ChampionsLeague

Strange times. No Reform representative on #BBCLauraK this morning. Assume the usual bookers are on holiday.

As if it’s bad enough this is the 3rd time in 4 weeks #ManCity are playing at 8pm on a Saturday night, now we have to put up with Darren Fletcher on comms. #WHUMCI

Not often Johnny Marr gets namechecked on #BBCQT

For all the people getting their knickers in a twist about Churchill getting replaced on £5 bank notes, it could be worse … @hpiandycowper.bsky.social

Bizarre but fantastic news.

Guess I don’t need to worry about the clash of @sugarcopperblue.bsky.social playing in Manchester in May and travelling to the #ChampionsLeague final any more … #RMAMCI #ManCity

Awesome show from the legendary David Byrne at the Apollo tonight. Particularly liked him talking through his photos he took on his day out in Manchester today.

I’m dreading how much he’s going to feature in the World Cup coverage. I might see if my TV can just blur out anyone who is orange.

Always a good day when new Jonny Greenwood music is announced.

Saturday Night Live has always been very hit and miss but loved #Gorillaz on the show this weekend, especially the love between Ryan Gosling and Damon Albarn at the end.

That appalling spectacle of a final is even more depressing knowing we now have what will feel like several months of IPL rammed down our throats. #T20WorldCup

Feel sorry for people who find this batting performance on a flat road entertaining. This isn’t cricket. #T20WorldCup #INDvNZ

Not entirely sure this was exactly the biggest problem with Michael Jackson …

Been listening to this album and it really is a wonderful record. Particular love the version of Sunday Morning by Beth Gibbons. #warchild #help2 www.thetimes.com/article/4657...

The Bride! film is getting such bad reviews, it makes me want to see it even more just to experience the pain.

You’d never know City won last night if you read the Observer today. Had to dig deep to find any mention amongst all the Wrexham coverage. #ManCity #mcfc

Great away day and night at Newcastle including a late night visit to the Angel. #ManCity #FACup #NEWMCI

Primed for crushing disappointment. #NEWMCI #FACup #ManCity

Arrived a tad early. Wasn’t expecting scorching sunshine here in Newcastle. #FACup #NEWMCI #ManCity

The final day of public hearings of the Covid Inquiry ended today. I assume the outcome will be that Matt Hancock is still a prat.

Can’t even take pleasure over Utd losing tonight. Anyway, 30 days to go til the cricket season …

WANTED: Morons, racists, fuckwits, criminals, bigots and numbskulls to stand as Reform UK candidates. Total ignorance of local authorities preferred and we promise not to check your social media history!

Looks like the end of the world in the @mancity.com car park.

Ideal prematch entertainment at @rxtheatre.bsky.social seeing #Road. Great use of the whole theatre space beforehand as well as during the interval.

Been trying to avoid listening to too much about the US/Middle East mess as it’s so depressing, but this podcast is the definitive listen. An excellent deep dive with great insight from @camanpour.bsky.social. @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I thought there were enough films out there about The Beatles, but it turns out #ManOnTheRun is a welcome addition. Lots of good old footage of McCartney’s life post-Beatles.

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

He’ll always be @tuckerslaw.bsky.social to me, but it turns out Peter Capaldi is quite good at music. Brudenell Social Club is a great venue too. @brudpresents.bsky.social

Didn’t watch the Brits last night but I’m going to safely assume it was the usual corporate bollocks, and Jack Whitehall was unfunny as hell.

A lot darker than I was expecting but absolutely loved #Sirāt. One of those films that really tests the quality of the cinema speakers. Glad I had the foresight to have already preordered the brilliant soundtrack by Kangding Ray from @invadarecords.bsky.social.

FIFA Peace Prize winner doing peace things as usual again I see …
