It's always a privilege to be invited onto someone else's podcast and it's just a joy to hang out with Ian and Michael - such genuinely wonderful human beings! If you're not listening to Eat the Pudding, give it a whirl, it's an excellent podcast.

Podcasts are rarely funny when you deliberately set up "bits". The stuff that resonates is almost always the stuff that happens off the cuff. If shit goes sideways, it's almost always hilarious. I laughed my head off during this recording.

This one surprised me. Definitely not the type of thing I seek out but a lot of the guitar on this record is top notch and I like both vocalists.

Any excuse to talk about this guy... 😁

Good enough that the ladies battered Saints, but to run in seven tries against KR after all the beaking and swagger from their fans lately was very gratifying! Superb performances front to back! #ChallengeCupChampions

This really made me laugh 😆

That's just superb movement from Rogers for number three. He's some player that lad! Has to start at ten for England at the World Cup.

Two absolute belters in that first half from Villa. Looking good!

Hey all! My Facebook account was permanently deactivated, with no reason at all given and I'm not allowed to challenge it or ask anyone any questions. Hugely inconvenient. 1/5

Chelsea twatted at home by Forest. What a wonderful start to the week.

Really enjoyed talking to @scottkhaskin.bsky.social about one of my very favourite Deep Purple songs. Also looking forward to giving his revisit a listen this weekend!

This made me chuckle. Go follow @tommyedwin.bsky.social - he's one of the good guys!

Seventy five magnificently-ordered words.

@ruddyrutherford.bsky.social have you ever tried anything like this???

Early contender for best album of 2026.....

I'll take "Sentences where I understand every word but the whole makes zero fucking sense to me!" for 800 Alex...

This is no small accomplishment! Wonderful to see two top notch chaps hitting a huge milestone! 😊

So looking forward to diving into this one! Cinderella is the only "glam metal" band (a bad label for them IMO!) that made it out of that era with any sort of credibility for me. Always loved Tom Kiefer's raspy vocal and slick slide playing! Gonna be great to have your voice in my ears once a week!

Tell me yours!

What do the Maple Leafs and the Titanic have in common? They both hit the ice and sink to the bottom of the Atlantic.

A huge thanks to Richard for indulging my very silliness. 😊

Definitely becoming a Blondie fan!

Data is important. But translating data into useful information is critical. This is a fantastic paper that uses data generated by the organization I work for. It's always invigorating when you see outputs like this from two plus decades of work!

"We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran." ... so we'll keep boming them until peace and harmony arrives...

This made mu chuckle... 😁

It's no more insane than anything the fat orange donut fucker says, but man it's so much funnier!

Who dat?

I work with so many absolutely amazing people. I never take for granted that the organization I work for and the work we do MATTERS.

So, is Twitter still a thing?

For the avoidance of doubt, I *never* use generative AI to do *any* of my writing. I type it all out myself with my own twelve fingers.

Jim Ratcliffe mouthing off about immigration I see and, predictably and boringly pointing fingers at the Labour govt. All you have to do is plot UK population growth against governments to see that the Cons did nothing to curb "colonialization" as Ratcliffe puts it.

A little hoarfrost on the branches this morning!

Bastard's cryin' innit. IYKYK

BANG!!! Get it in your ears. Now. There may not be a tomorrow!!!

Basking in the glow of a fantastic away win and Arsenal's campaign reminds me of a Marillion lyric... "It's getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper Something's gonna give under this pressure And the cracks are already beginning to show"

The Simpsons podcast I never knew I needed in my life. Ian and Michael left us all devastated by wrapping up their Blackadder podcast, so it's great to have them back yacking about a different show! ❤️

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Amazon can go fuck itself.

What do you do when your pals come into town to visit over Christmas? Well, after you've played pool, taken in a show, then gone to listen to hilariously awful karaoke, you drive around town in your 2003 Dodge Caravan and record your idiotic conversation for posterity. What else!

Get this in your ears as a matter of some urgency. This was one of the most fun guest spots I've ever done given I got the chance to blather on about the greatest sitcom ever made (sorry @lordofaddersblack.bsky.social, I know which one you prefer........... ALLO ALLO!!!!!) 🤣

Open the gate all the way for the man in black. Unless it’s the American Recordings…… (I know I’m in the minority!)

I love it when inspiration hits you from strange angles. After driving around listening to this track for this week's episode of the @tompettyproject.bsky.social, a story deposited itself into my brain. I tried to write as much of it out as I could as a "first chapter".

I still reckon "JD Vance" sounds like a discount athletic wear store... "50% off all Reebok trainers if you come down to the DANCE WITH VANCE event at our Hartlepool this weekend!"

Another magical episode with another wonderful guest; the brilliant @ursell66.bsky.social 😊 Not to spoil anything but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😂

Full disclosure; there’s a song on this side of the album that I really like! It would be much better with a better vocalist but I still think it’s a cool pop song. Had a fantastic time diving into this album with my pal @scottkhaskin.bsky.social shows.acast.com/64ec548b7e4b...

Catholic Conservatives: "The government shouldn't interfere with my rights as an individual!" Also Catholic Conservatives: "Bring that baby here so I can cut a part of its cock off without its consent please!"

Hegseth is trying to cosplay as Colonel Jessep when in reality he's Staff Sergeant Barnes. And he doesn't realize that Jessep isn't a hero.

Love this 😊 "It's just the normal noises in here..."

A bunch of professionals having to sit listening to a pair of clueless morons for over an hour. In full dress uniform.
