These are really fun to do, too. I've had 2 published with them so far and want to do more.

Roses are Red Violets are Blue

So i bought this little chap via Music Magpie or whatever by #tompetty - what are your favourite lesser-known tracks? Where does it fit in your Top Ten of Tom?

Tom is hugely proud of this song. In Conversations with Tom Petty, he tells author Paul Zollo, “Dreamville” is one of the best songs I ever wrote. That was about innocence.” 🟨 tinyurl.com/2dnyfbvf 🍎 tinyurl.com/3pt3eu8x 🟢 tinyurl.com/yhxykhbu 🟥 youtu.be/gLyHgksieFM

Back in 2008, I learnt some HTML to create a website - initially to publicise our writing group, aspiring #novelists in #brighton. I decided a changing home page was crucial. 365 stories x almost 17 years have been published. Grateful if you can RT>>

Happy birthday that man #freddiemercury #queen youtu.be/sGPpDRsAiNw?...

Anyone else get nervous before playing a new album, you play something else to start as a “loosener”? Oh. Ok. Just me then.

Friday night listening #np #thebeatles Yes i liked it so much i bought the T shirt.

The best @parkrunuk time today since the month of Covid (march 2020), when i ran one second faster. Nature is …as they say… healing.

I see @p70.bsky.social has been treating himself to a new motor…

I once tapped a bloke on the shoulder to ask where the loos were at Olympia. It was Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes…who correctly directed me in the voice of Radio 1 DJ Bruno Brookes

I wrote a chapter in Queen anthology "In the Lap of the Gods" about their album covers - profits go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust. 1) Which album cover do i call “something genetically modified, left on the hob?” You’ll have to buy the book to find out. amzn.eu/d/fOh2MHd

The short film i co-wrote is heading to California!! (Not content with having already been featured at film festivals in Folkestone, Oxford, Liverpool, Manchester, Hereford, Wolverhampton and Coventry!)

I’m thinking of setting up an Author Page offer, where you get to have your own URL, a Writing Bio, your own links (eg your social media), and up to 12 of your PP #stories in a gallery. (For a nominal set-up £6 and monthly donation of say £1.50). Who’d be interested?

Want to help support the site? Donating the price of a coffee (or two coffees, a croissant, and maybe the bus fare home) helps to support the site with website and marketing costs - always much appreciated ko-fi.com/paragraphpla...

Ange Postecoglou: "Season Three is always better than season two!" The third instalment in a series? Wait, what.... "Somehow Postecoglou survived..." #thfc #postecoglou #coys #starwars #riseofskywalker

Any @remhq.bsky.social R.E.M. fans out there in Queen land? We're kicking off Season 6 of the @ucatalogueclash.bsky.social next week. We'll be talking about these four beauties from a band I was quite heavily into for a few years and haven't listened to for way too long!

On a rating scale of 16-17, how excited is everyone about tonight’s #EuropaLeagueFinal #spurs #coys #europa

Pleased to have a monologue published in this anthology. Mine’s called ‘A Bun Against His Head’ a clever pun based on a line from a well-known song (no further clues, but regular followers might guess) and the fact at one point, he does indeed have a bun against his head.

Surely go with 'Bob' if you're named 'Bob. #NotLeo #PopeLeo #PopeLeoXIV (tagging @ianwinick.bsky.social )

I wrote an #audiodrama called “The Filter Room” set partly on the 75th anniversary of #VEDay and partly during the Battle of Britain, and today seemed an appropriate day to share it produced by White Cobra. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

As ever, thanks to @latestdad.bsky.social @froggylelong.bsky.social @metalkevin.bsky.social and @ianwinick.bsky.social all of whom get a shout-out this episode...

On #MayThe4th #StarWarsDay here’s a very old Distracted Dad column i wrote (pre-sequels) explaining the order to my 4-year old www.richardhearn.co.uk/star_wars_ma...

Have planted up 10 #cauliflower seedlings. In 12 weeks i’ll have 10 bloody great big cauliflowers. No- one else in the family likes #cauliflower. Feel like a Dr Who villain. Also hoping to get #cauliflower trending.

#np #suede #autofiction - is this their best second half album?

Having a break from watching #Andor tonight because Spurs play #bodoglimt which sounds exactly like a charcter from Andor.

Congratulations Ian and Ash! So ‘Talking Rubbish’ is now officially an award-winning film!

Lovely radioactive feedback from our old friend Richard. Thanks, and yes, a few people have dusted down Breaking Glass since we dropped Episode 5.

Great episode! Great chemistry from Pank and Dave (certainly better tgan Uranium 235 - always my benchmark). Used to have the Hazel 0’Connor album - inspired a great re-listen!

Today’s “Which slats have i replaced?” Conundrum picture.

Man scans 4 Heineken and 2 packs of jelly through the self service. Machine: Thank you for shopping at Asda. Man: Oh,shut up… Nice to get the tone for the weekend set early.

Completing the rewatch of #andor season 1 just in time #starwars
