Someone needs to press play on this bit of London.

RIP #MichaelKeating 'the funny one' and my instantly favourite in Blake's 7 when I was a kid. Rewatching as an adult you see his ingenious performance bringing an edge of reality to things, his cleverness, and often being the conscience of the gang.

Up the Vila!

The threshold is an engine of magics. The threshold is a temporary temple. As a world-stepper, the witch knows this territory as her own. Where others find only the uncertainty of transition, she knows power of possibility. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

And just like that, A Very Peculiar Practice pulls up on the iplayer - the power of Catastrophe Theory?

Wednesday

Glorious perfectly timed #AccidentalPartridge moment from Rylan at the Eurovision trophy presentation climax on Radio 2. 99% of us in the arena were still screaming for joy so loudly we didn't even hear this classic.

Enjoyed catching up with the nationwide field reporting of the MayGann event in Birmingham and its southern follow up. Hannah's first ever viewing reaction reported live from a car park in the Midlands is the sort of thing you only get with Dr Who podcasting long may it thrive!

Clef? FFS

5 days sight seeing, 4 nights of 5-6 hours standing at shows, 3 mornings EuroClubbing til dawn. Best Monday off ever.

#Eurovision has also tonight defeated the modellers who want to know what the result is before the show. Artistry matters. Performance matters. Music wins.

Here we go here we go... many had it as a 2 horse Australia v Finland race but Bulgaria are sprinting up to the finish. Now 2 members of every jury should be under 25 and we have more eastern countries returning...

My career supporting CRM events management has all been leading up to me, in the arena after the Eurovsion jury show last night, hammering 'refresh' on the official app at 0000hrs as a handful of unused standby tickets became available, and for the first time since 2019... BOOM!

Fire Storm blockbuster pyro kitchen sinks incoming from 🇦🇺 & 🇫🇮 but I can't stop watching Bulgaria's Bangaranga. It's a powerbop so we'll go with... browns and beiges? She's an amazing dancer so... sit down a lot? A Virtual Insanity furniture movement illusion bit live on stage? #Eurovision genius.

I suppose I might get too old for all this someday #Eurovision #MoldovaIsOnDuty

Talking during gigs/shows is off the scale now. Middle aged Janice and Derek behind me at the Eurovision Jury Final were having a VERY LOUD CHAT ABOUT STUFF during *Moldova*

Travel over a thousand miles and they're showing a compilation that includes 4:3 Eurovision footage ripped from YouTube and ratio stretched?! I've a good mind to nip on stage and fix it for them I'm sure that would be fine.

On this day in 1975 just under 35,000 proud Scots booed the Wombles off at half-time in a match v Portugal at Hampden. Scotland won 1-0 thanks to an own goal in the friendly which was part of the Glasgow 800 celebration.

Guess what this is a reply to.

I didn’t get where I am today without occasionally running off to a new life in the 70s/80s/90s/40s (via the TV). As mentioned on this episode, I’m fond of Reggie’s pink and white shirt, and he also adorns my wall.

Finally a result for our council ward. It's one where voters get two Xs to choose 2 councilors, and each party puts up 2 candidates. Previously safe double Labour, the Greens took top spot but a longstanding Lab councillor held on to 2nd place by only 3 votes, I guess some contested ballot papers.
