Good news, I found an article about how to lie on the floor www.businessinsider.com/floor-time-w...

An amazing advert! www.thedrum.com/news/ad-of-t...

British media: ‘Um, no, it’s fine.’

Respect For Friend Drops After Reading Book They Recommended

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

It’s my 19th wedding anniversary today except he was an alcoholic who I left and divorced after two years and then he died in 2023. #WeddedBliss

There is part of me that’s terrified to look at the Top 40 in case Bryan Adams is still number one.

Reform UK Gone Since the Local Elections Dr David Bull has been sacked as Chair.

Reform deploys ‘suspended’ antisemite to Makerfield by-election campaign

Tommy Robinson's rally yesterday

Go on, Bluesky, keep telling me who I can and can't follow.

I’ve become fixated on the chorus of Dependin’ on You /Doobie Brorhers, especially the unison octave vocals. I’m a sucker for unison octave vocals. I like the horn stabs too, but I would.

This is excellent

OHMYGODHELIED

Bloody hell. These poor women. Of course these shows, predicted on sex are going to attract complete narcissistic dangers. Can we make some thoughtful programmes now and pack in this absolute rubbish. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BBC Radio 3 Radio 3 in Concert Tchaikovsky juggles beauty and suffering, Benjamin Britten reflects powerfully on grief and conflict, and Leonard Bernstein grapples with the modern world.

Please stop saying invasion when referring to immigrants. An invasion is what Britain did in India or what Britain did in The West Indies or what Britain did in large parts of Africa or what Britain did in…

Yes. Burnham should stay silent and allow people to infer that he’s going to change nothing, rather than opening his mouth and leaving no room for doubt.

Monday.

Car bloat is really alarming. Yes, that’s a bigass Volvo in front of the MG, but the car behind it is a FUCKING MINI.

I had big plans to clean my home from top to bottom, get all my laundry done, batch cook for the week, and do some other pressing admin but at 1:45pm I only got dressed to take Kenny for a walk.

Good news/bad news.

As if things weren’t shitty enough…

Of course I own a copy of The Guardian's top novel

The fact that a neo-Nazi teenager who attempted to behead a Kurdish barber in Bristol last year has just been sentenced to almost 20 years in prison isn’t *national* news is enormously telling. It’s really not just a South West story, is it?

The Sun, Telegraph, Mail and Times cover the Reform leader less like a politician and more like a star ✏️ @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social

We're at the "no book is a bad book, you're not bad person" stage of that Guardian book list debate after a whole morning of "I've read lots and lots of books and I know better books than these".

If Bluesky could talk.

Splendid news! #RaiseTheFlags #RaiseTheColours

‘It’s Christmas Day’ - Coke Dealers of London.

I've read 32 of the Mr Men and Little Miss books. How many have you read? mrmenbooks.lovable.app

Please read my 100 Best Trombones list. (It only goes up to eight).

Eh! Issa me! Puccini!

Feeling bad about the Guardian's best 100 novels piece? Don't worry. I've made this just for you… mrmenbooks.lovable.app

The Spectator owned by Paul Marshall GBNEWS, and Michael Gove is the current editor. Dark times indeed.

Stirchley is immune to flag measles and sang Raise the Colours out of town last year. They know they aren't welcome. It's targeted harassment from these rotters.

Saturday.

“A new entry in this years' Sunday Times Rich List is Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis and her family, who hold an estimated fortune of £400m” Maybes they could start paying some of the artists who aren’t on the telly then. When I were a lad it all went to Greenpeace to save the whale (did it fuck)

Oh piss off.

The Great Myerscough Frame Up has begun!

Kenny’s dinsies is at 4pm. Kenny, at 3pm:

How to write a children's book: Step 1: Be famous for something else. Step 2: Have lunch with a publisher. Step 3: Talk about your brilliant ideas. Step 4: Tell them to turn the ideas into a book and publish it. How hard can it be? Step 5: Remember to thank them for lunch.
