15 years (nearly) since my first idea for a funny film trailer made it on to BBC Radio (7!), and I've finally got round to revisiting Geordie Batman. This time in poster form. Made partially with A.I. or should that be "Why Aye" #GeordieBatman #ImBatmanMan

I've long been of the suspicion that, on a purely aesthetic level of appreciation, few people on the planet have less of an interest in music than Simon Cowell.

Has a faith healer just thrown away his crutches or something?

Seventh time listening to this and managed to get through it without sobbing. Personal milestone achieved. youtu.be/5VXSQQ5YDIU

Coincidentally, I meant to post about this song yesterday. If you listen to Charmed Life (2004) directly before listening to Invisible Thread (2025), it has a hell of an impact.

This is splendid. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I am so blessed to have a friend that creates me an entire zine of @cmatbaby deep cuts including little essays on why they're so good 😍

Oh this is fab. See also: youtu.be/gi_p-0rEZO4?...

Just saw Mario turned 40 this week and so, once again, I present to you: the first level of Super Mario but all the sound effects are farts.

"Have you all got your fun packs? It should contain a torch, a Curly Wurly, a book of stamps, a digital watch with denim strap, a vodka miniature, a Bic-style razor and a copy of the Daily Express."

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

Oh Buckles. You're so lovely. I'm very fragile at the moment and not ashamed to admit this book has reduced me to tears frequently. I love you. BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Gosh. 13 years since this happened.

Spinal Tap 2 The End Continues is absolutely brilliant. A joy from start to finish. I laughed, cried and everyone clapped at the end. If you're a super fan of the original then you will LOVE it.

Happy anniversary of my one and only banger of a tweet.

Happy Roy's Jog Pants with One Leg Longer than Other Day to those that celebrate 🍾

Happy Spinal Tap Eve!!! I've hung my glove on the mantlepiece for Father Tapness...

Oh yeah. 👌

And they say nurses have it tough.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

After a year of pain I've finally been referred to the neurology department at the hospital to try and find out what's causing my.... terrible headaches...

I Am Martin Parr is on iPlayer. Such a delightful and complimentary little film about one of the most quietly talented men of our generation.

Tried out the Aldi focaccia mix today. Topped it with olives. 👌

Back to a peroxide clean slate ready for something new...

Journalists, I was taught, should retain a degree of healthy scepticism, rigour and questioning. That doesn’t mean rudeness or unfairness, it just means keeping a distance from what they are describing/commenting on in order to let the audience decide on its merits or otherwise.

I have never been so disappointed in a BBC piece. Breathless admiration is, as far as I knew, not the role of the BBC’s political editor when describing a party political conference. Description+detail yes, rigorous examination of the conference content, yes. This, absolutely no, in my opinion.
