Another brilliant weekend in my city. Didn't even need a stab vest. Ventured all around, which I do all the time, and it's all same as it ever was. London is rocking. The Tommy Robinson fascists don't like hearing this, though. #London

How nice to dip my toe back in here every now and then and not find it full of racists and agitators from the Russian troll farm. Bravo to whoever looks after this platform. Hope everyone is doing good 👍

My estimated listening age has come through on Spotify 2025 😕

Thanks for all the birthday messages Put on a stab vest this morning and ventured out for a birthday celebration into Khan's lawless London, daring to go into Covent Garden and somehow getting out alive, dodging the maurauding knife-wielding Islamists taking over the country. HOW AM I STILL ALIVE?

At least this government has removed that disgusting 2 child benefit cap. With it, my family would have been destitute. I like to think the 8 of us kids turned out OK and have more than paid the nation back several times over.

If anyone tells you that London is dying then take it from someone who has lived here all my life, it's busier than ever. Bars, restaurants, galleries, museums packed. The fascists hate my city because we all just rub along fine together, always have done and always will, built on immigration.

I want to thank all my followers and more importantly everyone I follow for making this a pleasant and safe space for sharing interesting content. I post far less the last few months having gone through a bit of a mini breakdown but this is a nice place too look in. So glad I left the Musk cesspit.

Who else just loves zone-ing out and listening to classical music? I can't get to sleep without it.

It's a very high tide today #London #Thames #bridges

What a couple of days! Yesterday I found out I'm going to be a grandad. Today I regained my rights as an EU citizen when my Irish passport dropped on the doormat. Bollocks to Brexit.

So,in a world of shit news I found out today that I'm going to be a GRANDAD! My beautiful daughter and her wonderful husband

Quality day at the O's. Beer, good friends and a thumping 4-0 victory. #lofc #leyton #E10

I've just cooked the best shepherds pie from scratch, after 6 pints. #winning

200 years ago today, on 27th Sept 1825, an event took place in the northeast of our little country that changed the world. Locomotion 1, built by George Stevenson, became the first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public railway line between Stockton & Darlington. Happy 200th anniversary.

A privilege to listen to the 44th President of the United States in #London last night. A man of profound intellect, decency and empathy, and a brilliant thinker and orator. Everything a proper President of the US ought to be.

What a night at Last Night of the Proms. No violence or antagonism, plenty of flag waving from all nations, and a great night. #London

The local is on point today. #ale #London #pubs

I've never felt so down about the state of the world at the moment. Struggling, got to be honest. It all seems so hopeless.

Oscar Wilde's grave at Père Lachaise. Carved from a 20 tonne block of stone 'The Flying Demon Angel' was designed by Jacob Epstein after Oscar's death in 1911. Surrounded by two metre high plastic panes to prevent the traditional kissing the monument which left it covered in lipstick #Paris

Hot croissant and pain au chocolate straight out the oven. Still warm crusty baguette with salty butter. Orange juice is freshly squeezed. Superb cappuccino. All for €6 #Paris #railholidays

Today marks exactly 50 years since the terrible Moorgate rail crash in which 43 people sadly lost their lives :( #London #history #railways

Found it. My goddess (yes, I know she's not there anymore) x #Paris #railholidays

Top notch breakfast/brunch in this reat American diner in the Latin Quarter, decked out in retro 50s decor with vintage red benches and bar stools A "Big Mess". A plateful of scrambled mess - eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, onions, peppers, mushroom,s, avocado, grated cheddar, & fried potatoes #Paris

After a hard day's touristing in Paris, would be rude not to for €4.5 per pint 🍺 Bang in the centre of town, too. #Paris #railholidays #pubs

Monmartre from the top floor of Musée d 'Orsay #Paris #railholidays

The Grand Foyer at Opera Garnier. #Paris #railholidays #opera

Hello from the Garnier Opera, Paris. Ceiling by Marc Chagall 👌

I seem to get free peanuts in most pubs/cafés I visit here. Which is excellent. Is this a thing in Paris? More of this in London, please. #Paris #railholidays

Light show time. #Paris #railholidays

Angles. #Paris #EiffelTower #railholidays

Big, innit? #Paris #railholidays

A delicious cold beer in the centre of Paris 2½ hours after leaving the centre of London. Can't beat Europe by rail ♥️ Cheers! 🍺 #railways #railholidays #London #Paris #Eurostar

Must be the narrowest bit of platform on the entire network. Rear of the Central line eastbound platform at Bank station. #London #tube #Underground #railways

Always a good lunch on the go. Chicken pancake, £3-50 from Bao in Chinatown (Newport Ct). Always a queue here - a good sign. #London #walking

Always enjoy stopping and watching this clock for a couple of minutes. Then everyone else stops and looks up and does the same as me, getting their phones out to film. #London #walking

Looking towards the huge new Battersea & Nine Elms skyline from the footbridge of the busiest station for rail traffic in the UK. #London #railways

Back in Covent Garden tonight for Tchaikovsky's much lesser known ballet 'Onegin'. This is the famous and much loved 1965 production choreographed by John Cranko for the Stuggart Ballet, based on the opera of 1879, which was itself based on the book by Pushkin of 1833. #London #ballet #opera

For those who love #London #history you should give @londonremembers.com a follow, having just joined the Bluesky family. Welcome!

The sculpture is named after a poem by Cécile Nobrega poet playwright composer artist teacher whose vision drove its creation. She arrived in UK 1969 from Guyana. Active in NUT she campaigned for rights of pupils from ethnic minorities

Hidden in plain sight, a piece of #London #history. Vincent Street Fireplace in Westminster. Once part of the cosy interior of a terraced house, bombed in WWII. Today it is outside the gates of a modern block of flats. I do think a plaque should be added to explain it's significance. #walking

'Bronze Woman' sculpture outside Stockwell tube station, celebrating the many achievements of Black Caribbean and African women in Britain, unveiled 8th Oct 2008. Incredibly, it was the first public sculpture of a black woman in the capital #London #sculpture #art #history #walking

Two entrances to the former London Fire Brigade HQ on Albert Embankment, Lambeth, both topped with decorative stone reliefs depicting firefighters in action. #London #history #architecture #art

No half and half scarves here tonight. Back to the bread and butter. The Orient fans from Saturday seem to have forgotten to show up, though. #lofc #properfootball

The K8 telephone box designed by Bruce Martin between 1965 and 1966, and commissioned by the General Post Office. This Grade II-listed kiosk can be found on Platform 3 at High Street Kensington station. Only around 50 K8 boxes survive, as BT removed most in the 1980s. #London #history

Just look at this plate of steaming gorgeousness. Cockney's on Portobello Road. 2&3 for £12-60. Absolutely top drawer 🔥👌 #PieAndMash #cockneysoulfood #London

1&2. The bookshop that inspired the plot where Hugh Grant met Julia Roberts in Notting Hill (13 Blenheim Place) 3. The shop where it was actually filmed (142 Portabello Road) 4. The famous blue front door where he lived (280 Westbourne Park Road) #London #walking #history

A beautiful Victorian 'Penfold' postbox dating from 1866-79 on Ladbroke Grove #W10 with the Queen Victoria royal cypher. #London #history #walking #postboxes
