I see you've got yer Spodify Wrapped me old mate. So tell me - what's yer Lisnin' Age?

I I only listen to The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round incessantly, day in, day out, so my Spotify listening age is ...

Tommy Robinson announces December 13th Christian celebration with carol singing etc. At 15:00 hrs assemble at Speakers' Corner where Laurence "Big Lola" Fox will provide lute accompaniment to Away In A Manger and Little Donkey. There will be a whip round after.

No Christmas decorations will be put up this year unfortunately. The loft door is borked and the tree and decorations are in the loft. I am compensating by wearing glittery silver socks today. No more frivolity for the rest of December though 🎄🔔🌟🚫

First longish walk for a few weeks.

A book advising you to attract birds to your garden suggested you should "scatter grated cheese around shrubs as a treat" for wrens. Maybe as a very occasional treat. You wouldn't want their little arteries to harden.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen Marie Lloyd Tiny Tim Henry Hall & His Orchestra Whistling Jack Smith The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Métal Urbain

Fog in the valley last night was glowing with the light of blanketed buildings.

Very disappointed about the budget being leaked. All around Britain people were waiting with baited breath. In scout huts, garden sheds, community centres and village halls, crowding around transistor radios. Another part of our way of life has died 😔

Don't fall for this shit

A "considerate constructor" is currently ripping apart Norman Foster's City Hall, which is less than 25 years old

This is outrageous: "One woman killed by someone close to them every 10 minutes” says UN report.

Homosex Chipotle Boobs Basically a re-run of 2025 then.

Absolute codswallop. I was hoping for the usual New Year's From Pebble Mill with Donny MacLeod, Phil Drabble, Moira Anderson and Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen. They've gone too far with this modern noise and debauchery. I'll not pay my licence fee if it's funding this filth.

Shepherd's pie in a pint glass. All feedback welcomed.

Sorry, this has been bugging me all day but I'm imagining a lamb/beef/pork mince pie known as a shepherd's cottage pigsty pie. The shepherd has turned his cottage into a pigsty and his wife is raging. "Fuck's sake Barry, stop leaving your socks on the floor and dropping fag ash on the carpet!"

The great Tina Weymouth is 75 today so it's an excuse to put up my favourite ever live in the studio TV band performance. Look at her face - just look at her face! youtu.be/jzIuZ-mrIL0?...

Just wanted to give a shoutout to all the white guys with dreadlocks in midwestern college towns that sell drugs and also play the bass guitar in a reggae band at a pizza restaurant every weekend.

In celebration of St Cecilia's day I give you: youtube.com/watch?v=LSO2...

Released much more quickly than expected. New cast, making "great progress" apparently. I'd been told that I had two fractures but one turned out to be a mark on the X-ray last week, lol. "You know we said there was a shadow on your lung? Someone dropped a bit of yoghurt on the X-ray hem hem."

The old girl is off to 🟡😱THE YELLOW ZONE😱🟡 today for a follow up consultation a week after the fracture. The letter warns me that I may be there for several hours. Finally, the time to get past page 350 of Ulysses 💬

RIP Mani. That long hot summer of 1989. Sigh ... youtu.be/3QLMS0QsPF0?...

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain. The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Happy International Men's Day to all who celebrate #internationalmensday

Soot and fume speckled London sleet. There's no place as enchanting as The Smoke at this time of year 😢 #sleet #cockneysleet

Got out for a walk for the first time since Thursday. Came back at school chucking out time and a kid said to his mother "It was school photo day and I DIDN'T SMILE ONCE!" Alright Victoria Beckham.

Look, maybe as a German person I am being overly sensitive here, but in the nicest possible way: what the fuck lads?!

Don't play with me, instagram.

Can't wash my hair until the waterproof arm cover is delivered but thank tf for Superdrug 💥VOLUME💥 dry shampoo. Concrete in a can.

The hydrological effect of heavy rain collecting in pot holes on Bearwood Road has resulted in the creation of several deep 'plunge pools', which are proving to be a drowning hazard for pedestrians. To help mitigate the dangers, we have installed several 'lifebelt stations'.

Almost instant karma. An hour after the post where I took the mickey out of my gran's complaints about her endless ailments I fell over the paper recycling stacker and broke my wrist 😁

I heard enough about my gran's ailments during her lifetime. "I've got it all down this side", I've had a bilious turn", "I thought I was dying last night" and "I've got diarrhoea like milk" among her greatest hits. Bul points from me.

12 hour day, the dark, I'm dead. Happy birthday Neil. #thedgeofmyfeather www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzMl...

Used to love these stalls. Three floors of fabrics in the Bullring market. I'd use patterns from Woolworths and customise them. Not a very good seamstress but you had to be resourceful when you didn't have much money.

Like Keith Harris and Cuddles the monkey went through the transporter in The Fly.

Important note. My original picture choices were two fictional bands from television's Brookside. A short-lived girl group from the 1980s and Frank Rogers' Merseybeat combo The Scottie Dogs. Google AI says that neither existed. The photo represents the policing of AI which is a veritable smog.

Repost with an "iconic" (👿😡😤) fictional band.

One or another of my mum's endless relatives would turn up unannounced*, often so that they could show off a new baby. Most people have had phones since the 1980s though so there's absolutely *no* excuse not to ask nicely. I won't answer the door, lol.

Palestinian woman Umm Zuhri Shweiki was forcibly expelled from her home in occupied East Jerusalem by Israeli forces, who seized and emptied her house before handing it to Israeli settlers.

Terry Griffiths vs Cliff Thorburn. The Crucible, 1983.

Glad that I retired from gig going many moons ago. My back couldn't cope with the interminable waiting around. "Oh, there are lovely restored venues where you can sit down now!" No thanks, I'd feel like I was in the audience at The Good Old Days. "The Cheeky Chappie Gentleman - Richard Dawson!"

30 million dead, The Somme, painting created by Mary Bishop 1976 in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. Aged 4 when her father was killed in WWI, the reverberations of his death & her mother’s vast grief traumatised & distressed Mary for the rest of her life
