Still think of this whenever I hear or read about him.

The guy on instagram who was waiting to cut his hair after Manchester United won five in a row will have to keep waiting. They’ve won four and then drawn one, against 18th placed West Ham.

This sounds like the Italian version of Lieut-Commander Thomas Woodrooffe * www.dw.com/en/italy-rai... *Look him up kids, all the most contemporary references are here on the Blue Sky website.

Not the most significant thing happening today but Gmail is stopping users importing mail from other accounts using POP and *that’s how I read all my email Google, you total gits*

Winter Olympics day 1: male athletes allegedly inflating their penises. Winter Olympics day 2: a gold medalist named “Breezy Johnson”

Pushed by Reach newspapers on social media feeds: the death of Michael Sundin. Which happened in 1989. As if it’s a news story. So that you click.

The drone shot on the luge is amazing #winterolympics

Read my lips. No new snackses.

“What sort of outfits do you need for the opening ceremony, German team manager?” “Drei robes bitte” #winterolympics

We want a blissed out slow cover of Che La Luna Mezzo Mare next #winterolympics

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

Oh wow what a thread

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

This guy was the presenter of the first radio show I produced, when I was 22. We’d go for coffee and toast afterwards in the cafe of a department store in Carlisle and crack silly jokes. He was brill. RIP Richard. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Whisper it quietly, but dry weather is making an extraordinary comeback

apple.news/AZpe_ENFAR9-... Well there we are.

That, sadly, may be the tweet.

Jeffrey Epstein gave up I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter in 2012

Got an idea for the next series of “Industry” lads.

Wogan evening on BBC 4.

Beguiled by the father and son on the train - both white, both in West Brom tops - conversing fluently in what I think is Japanese.

That photo of Andrew looks like he’s blundering his way through the resuscitation part of a first aid course he’d rather not be doing.

Great British political scandals MUST feature an osteopath, it's the rules

There's some stuff that REALLY implicates Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in allegations of very bad stuff in this latest document release, everyone

Uh oh spaghettios US HAS INVESTIGATED CLAIMS THAT WHATSAPP CHATS AREN’T PRIVATE-BLOOMBERG NEWS

I'm sorry I must have misheard, where did you say you're calling from?

You have never been less likely to be murdered. Or have your bike nicked. @markeaston1.bsky.social: markeastonmedia.substack.com/p/broken-bri...

I was at the press conference in Leicester where they confirmed it was a Richard III in the car park. One of the greatest moments of news I’ll ever witness.

Legal news: When you're a judge or magistrate you're not allowed to talk about your views on politics or justice. Obviously. One magistrate who didn't just break this rule, he phoned up LBC to do it: www.complaints.judicialconduct.gov.uk/disciplinary...

The Rev Paul Williamson really does occupy perhaps the nichest corner of British public life. 11 years ago this week, he pulled the very same stunt at the consecration of the first woman C of E bishop.

Re-watching Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights (its proper title) on DVD. Observations: 1. The characters’ quirks are ace. 2. The TV shopping channel (Armchair Super Store) is a great running gag. 3. Everyone spent a lot “going out”. The club is full every night. Potter never worries about takings.

This is terrific on VAR www.northstandchat.com/thedailyseag... #bhafc

For Jim Moir/Vic Reeves' birthday, a reminder it's thirty years this year since this advert.

The glasses are screaming that he wrote haunting poetry you had to study at GCSE #TheTraitors

Fun fact, this is the organisation Rachel is director of communications *for* clanryegroup.com #thetraitors

In today’s deeply Larry David scenes I received a fine for driving into a low traffic neighbourhood in an unfamiliar area. I was on my way to… pick up the new bike I’d just bought.

According to ChatGPT the title of Blur's Parklife was 'inspired by the BBC sitcom Parkinson'. We all remember the sitcom Parkinson, especially the episode where Michael invited his boss, Dr Jacob Bronowski, home for dinner and got beaten up by Muhammed Ali

The train in Spain is mainly on the crane www.reuters.com/world/europe...

I appreciate there are bigger concerns in the world, but the latest iOS update makes my phone look like I’m permanently playing Animal Crossing.

CHARALAMPOS KOSTOULAS REMEMBER THE NAME #bhafc

Welsh words aren’t hard to pronounce! It’s a totally phonetic language!* *Years ago I failed a pronunciation test at a Welsh radio station, had never heard of Tredegar. Still embarrassed.

Will it be chips or jacket spuds? Will it be salad or frozen peas? Will it be mushrooms? Fried onion rings? You'll have to wait and see. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today I went to Metropolitan Police FC, (who play at Met’s social club at Imber Court in Surrey). It must be the only football ground with its own dog grooming parlour. Zoom in on the sign on the door for evidence.

You don’t see lads at A&E with a saucepan stuck on their heads much these days. What’s happening to our country.

So that’s Nadine and Nadhim.
