Hello. For those of you on Insta you might want to check out Rikashay, who are at day 154 of doing a cover of EVERY Beatles song in alphabetical order. Today’s tune is There’s A Place Well worth a follow ☺️

BBC2 is REALLY spoiling us today: I Know Where I’m Going! A Matter Of Life And Death The Man Who Would Be King It’s like I’ve curated a rainy Saturday afternoon film festival of my own. Perfection

Catherine O'Hara...oh she was magnificent

Lord alone knows how I’d cope without the subtitles…

Liverpool Poets - BBC Radio 4 Documentary 15/02/03 In 1967, three young poets found fame and popularity with the publication of the anthology, The Mersey Sound. Pete McCarthy looks at the work of Roger McGough, Adrian Henri and Brian Patten. @wildtwin.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=epr5...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Yes, I’m watching The Bridge. Again.

Gospel wibble to take me mind off all of **waves arms around wildly** that xx

A minute and a half of utter beauty Nanight, my little sausages x

Hey @marcrileydj.bsky.social and @stephenhanley6.bsky.social…Postcode Lottery daily quiz stars 😉

I’m reduced to this to get my giggles… #satire

Hello…I’ve been hiding away with my companions Plur1bus and the new Dry Cleaning LP, both of which are quite marvellous. Hope you’re all fine and dandy x

Our nation still rests its hopes on video.

'What I Don't Understand Is This ...', the first episode of The Beiderbecke Affair was originally broadcast on this day in 1985.

(Non-weather related) mood x

Well, it’s about bloody time…

In my traditional NYE attire quite early tonight…it’s been a stop/start kinda week. Staying home, going out, at relatives…wherever and whatever you are doing, please stay safe and have a marvellous evening. May the new year bless us…everyone! xx

“Yes, my name is Slim Shady…what of it?”

Host: A classic game, both sides going for the win…what’s your overall impression? Pundit, in a Birmingham accent: ‘Here’s your coffee, Miss Babs’

Heed the message. - Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. It's just prescient, and eerie, how this fits what's happening right now. #movie #messagefromthepast

I remember taping the documentary about the festival on a (now lost) VHS tape…and was delighted to see that it’s on YouTube ☺️ youtu.be/hBE2RkkUnEs

I’m not a big one for NY resolutions, but after five years of nonsense, drifting and loss, 2026 will be the year I get my life sorted. Just thought I’d share that with you, thanks x

At the hospital visiting my stepdad…I’d forgotten that Arrowe Park’s claim to fame was holding the world’s first scouting jamboree ☺️

Nadolig Llawen, pawb! Have a marvellous Christmas, chums…love you all xx

A carol that works in any setting…this is one of the best, taken from Studio 60. Floors me EVERY time, no matter who’s doing it

Absolutely gorgeous. youtu.be/yxDZjg_Igoc?...

Now I know what the kebab animal looks like I think I’ll give it a pass…

He's been! Here's everything I read this year (and a few things I wrote): Henry James! Joseph Heller! Penelope Fitzgerald! A biography of the unsuccessful 1928 Democratic presidential candidate, Al Smith! advicetothelovelorn.blogspot.com/2025/12/Book...

All the best Christmas songs are both joyous and melancholic in equal measures…

If it’s pouring down by you, then make yourself a cup of tea, have a biscuit and settle in to watch Film 4 at 1.30…doesn’t matter how many times I’ve watched this film (and it’s probably a few dozen viewings by now) I’ll always make an effort when it’s on television. Sublime ❤️

Let the festivities commence! 🎄🎅🏼 x

Aztec Camera performing Walk Out to Winter live on Switch in 1983

I had an absolute arse of an afternoon, really frustrating and anxiety inducing…and then this came on in the car and everything was right with my world

My new favourite drink ❤️

Another in my series of rubbish photos of the night sky. I like this one: although the moon is blurry you can clearly see Jupiter to the right of it…zoom in a bit and it’s wonderfully red ❤️

Bringing some joy to the timeline 😍

I’ve just read the (frankly incomprehensible) details of how the World Cup draw will be carried out tomorrow…the Day Today had it sussed 30 years ago

Yet another BBC scandal…

Top Scouse night ahead for me…watching the Anthology before the football. And I went to the big Asda earlier. Fab, gear, boss and very very sound.

I invite you to do festive shopping in my emporium of daft things 🛒🐦 hellohalloweeno.etsy.com

Yippee-ki-yay, mofos…I’ve got my advent calendar ready to go for tomorrow x

A marvellous hour-long bath…I’m now liberally covered in creams and unguents and I smell and look beautiful. Just so you know.

A very braw St Andrew’s Day to my Scottish chums x 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❤️

He’s taking a battering.

This is for someone's birthday who I don't know so I should probably butt out, but it might be the funniest thing I've seen all week.

I’ve been listening to the latest Madness compilation on my commute and two things: 1. The finest singles band ever*? Yes. 2. God, they make me feel happy…is there anything more important than that? * I’m not counting the Beatles in the argument because, you know, they’re the Beatles.

Not many people know that, Michael- youtu.be/H_kuZlKTOhs?...

Just had a religious experience in the Mersey Tunnel #notaeuphemism

A bold choice
