When people ask Service, Transport, Retail, Utilities, Waste, Street Cleansing, Medical, Fire, Police. 'What are doing over Christmas?' 'KEEPING THE FECKIN COUNTRY RUNNING!'

Me seeing another posh 'Comedian ' being interviewed on telly.

This is how Starmer should deal with Trump.

#UniversityChallenge How long UCL gets to confere.

#Houseofgames Humphrey Bogart born in 1945! Ha ha ha ha 😂 😆 😄

This is why I switched to Tidal - artists should be paid properly!

#UniversityChallenge Don't worry Cambridge, one of your fifteen other teams can get through. Same for you Oxford

How come, everyone with a past life was always an Egyptian Priestess/Princess or a Mongolian Shaman or Roman General. Nobody was ever a 1950s bus driver from Irlam and everyone's spirit guide was always a Native American Medicine man, never a middle management customs admin from Rotterdam.

I try to remember this applies to everyone I encounter, no matter how brief the interaction - neighbours, bus drivers, taxi drivers, shop staff, health staff, clergy, postal workers, staff and residents of care homes... EVERYONE!

Sammy Davis Jnr on BBC4. He was truly great. He could do it all.

The perfect Christmas present doesn’t ex………………

Before all that Brit pop shite where people were arguing over mockney posh boys and Beatle tribute acts, Liverpool as ever, paved the way. The La's - There She Goes youtube.com/watch?v=JpoG...

The Crimson Pirate. Glorious technicolour Adventures like only the 1950s can deliver. The upturned boat walk in Pirates of the Caribbean was 'borrowed' from this 1952 classic

A Room with a View is a perfect film.

#UniversityChallenge Don't act all cocky, Pootle. Faulkener saved your arse there

#UniversityChallenge Are we in debt to Canada or something?

Happy St. Andrew's Day!

New episode of the podcast just out. Waldemar solves the mystery of Bosch’s masterpiece, I wonder why a gold toilet is worth $12m, and we explore what made Hans Holbein so brilliant with Elizabeth Goldring.

Why didn't the thugs riot, loot shops and burn libraries over this? Where were the flag waving 'Patriots'? Why are the media so sympathetic with their teary ex Royal Marine narrative? How come they don't mention his religion?

So, how come this wasn't seen as terrorism? How come there were no riots, no libraries set on fire, no bin blazes? How come they lead with ex- Royal Marine? Why is the narrative totally different from the media, and reaction so different from the public? news.sky.com/story/paul-d...

How long will it be for Chris Mason to say that Keir Starmer must resign and Angela Rayner's position is untenable?

There's cool, then There's Ocean's Eleven cool.

Saw these on Vinted. Fabulous! I love neutral trousers. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's warmongering trousers who take sides!

Anyone studying or interested in German History, The Holocaust, The Weimar Republic, should read the books of Professor Frank McDonough @fxmc1957.bsky.social I've found them incredibly valuable.

A closer to home episode of Waldy and Bendy Adventures in Art for me this week. Britain's greatest forger, Shaun Greenhalgh. The Art world, the class system and the justice system all under the microscope. I'm glad I'm on the planet at the same time as these three chaps.

@christyfarrelly.bsky.social, Doug Bradley is returning to voice Pinhead for this upcoming game. I’m hoping it will give you the option to unlock ‘Scouse Mode’. youtu.be/853GzhgIYVs

Britain's greatest forger, Shaun Greenhalgh talks to Waldemar Januszczak @januszczak.bsky.social all things Gaugin. From sourcing materials to fooling the art world. They couldn't believe it was a lad from Bolton #HandmadeInBolton #zcz youtu.be/0sjSaj2b4t4?...

It's the Michael Portillo Joke that did it for me. Thank you @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social #onlyconnect

BBC trying to rally support and then go and put Kelvin Mackenzie on to talk about journalistic standards. From the people of Liverpool. Fuck you BBC #jft97

Apparently, the BBC have a leftist bias. I can't stand the word leftist. It's silly. Left wing, which it clearly isn't.

Why is it that in the UK, whenever one mentions the office of President, the knee jerk reaction is Trump or Putin and never the man next door.

Art is definitely beneficial to the human condition. It's instant medicine. I love this podcast and the chaps who do it. Waldy and Bendy Adventures in Art @januszczak.bsky.social @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=urbW...

Meanwhile at Wandsworth Prison. The new recruit comes across the release button

This from The Guardian. Now, I don't know if it's medically possible or if it's been the cause of death on Morse, Endeavour or Waking the Dead. But, can a Guardian Centrist actually die from Acute Hypocrisy?
