As we face prolonged heatwaves, please watch out for elderly neighbours. There's a real risk they'll corner you and try to talk about legendary heatwaves that never did them any harm when they were young, before sunscreen was invented, when they lived inside an active volcano.

Hi friends! New exhibition alert! I'll be showing a selection of work from my project in Port Talbot in the Plaza from the 31st of July to the 7th of August, with a launch event on Friday the 31st from 6-8pm. Please come along! Some context for the project-

Norman Collier-esque.

Quiz answers (Halifax's Pub Paper). Can imagine a Mark E Smith/KLF Grim Up North mash-up

Holy Precious McKenzie! I didn't realise the Commonwealth Games was starting this month. Even though it's a big footer summer, the Games seems like a noon slot at a music festival now and it felt huge in the 70s.

Hola! The taproom's open tomorrow here in #Lindley #Huddersfield Real cider made here and all the other usual gubbins such as pies, witty badinage, rude staff, awful decor, and my new 50th birthday celebration playlist! What more could you want from weekend!

Considering the amount of media coverage on the passing of a certain brewing patriarch this week, here’s a repost of a repost about Tadcaster and its drinking culture. You can read more about it in Base Notes.

Start Me Up in the Co-op. I'm strutting in the aisles in a Jagger-ish fashion - hands on hips, pointing at the frozen peas.

I will say - speaking as a boomer and a Karen, in the heatwave of 1976 we just rolled up the sleeves of our cheesecloth shirts and laced up our hessian wedge espadrilles and got on with it! Not like the moany wokesters! Everybody loved the sunshine! youtu.be/Z82FEDN_sb0?...

More than anything right now, I wish to experience the sweet, cooling relief of being tossed into a chest freezer by an errant emu.

Tomorrow's Yorkshire Post.

Me and some other great authors will be putting on a proper punk day out at Central Libray secretmanchester.com/sex-pistols-...

Thinking of 'doing a Likely Lads' with the Scotland game.

Moths ate my funeral/wedding suit

The stall is open! Stockroom in Stockport for the zine and print fair. Open till four. Come on down!!!

Quiet shift at The YP yesterday! Lovely obit by David Behrens. Paper is on sale all weekend.

Wow, what a crazy life!

My favourite David Hockney work. It depicts Hockney at the counter of the Sea Catch fish and chip shop, Eccleshill - where it hung on the wall from 1954 (when it was gifted by Hockney) to 1970 when the shop closed.

Ah Mr Hockney. He never seemed to get in a rut - new styles, new subjects, new places.

Publication Day! ‘Ask me about The Double Deckers and The Banana Splits Ask me about the Pet Shop Boy who smiled at me outside The Ritz’ My new book ASK is finally out in the world! ☀️ available from @jebookshull.bsky.social @holdernessnews.bsky.social and tinyurl.com/3rhajmz2 #poetry

Revising RE with the boy. Calls for a trip to the Ulster Museum to see the Holy Text.

Love it when some piece of shit steals a design I took two weeks drawing and AI-alters the faces to look like shit and then puts it on Etsy

The Dusty Miller, in Longwood, has always been one of my fave pubs (cosy rooms, ace ales, fab staff, loads of dogs, lovely views) - and now they're playing The Cramps!

For a moment I thought they were Brian Jones and Charlie Watts.

"Not bleakly, Not meekly, Beat me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly!"

Wylie! #totp

Oof, the high trousers of the mid-80s. #totp

Sweating like Johnny Mills in the desert and lager film.

'Neddy Goes To Glasto' reaches Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield on Wed & Thur after wowing audiences on tour. Join us! Tickets: www.thelbt.org/what-s-on/dr...

'Build me up buttercup'

Happy 85th Birthday Bob Dylan. 🎉🎶

Omg, Colin Farrell with a curly perm on Fever Pitch (C4). Haven't seen this in yonks. A good film about football that works for people like me who aren't massively arsed about football. It also reminds me of living in London.

Enjoyed the funny and moving Neddy Goes To Glasto at The Lowry. Corrina O'Beirne's script is full of lovely lines that were beautifully delivered by Jo Dakin. It's a complex piece at times and director @prueg.bsky.social (Ms O) does a fab job. At the Lawrence Batley, Huddersfield, May 27-28.

I thought 5 were going to show fewer Yorkshire programmes. Tonight it's Yorkshire with Susan Calman. Later The Hotel Inspector is in the Yorkshire Dales. Then The Hardacres - a Yorkshire family. Looking forward to 5's adaptation of Fred Trueman v Godzilla.
