Rewatched 28 Years Later. Totally triffic. I was absolutely gutted to miss Young Fathers at Barrowlands last time. "Get Up" would absolutely be on my Desert Island Discs list. Those sweet Edinburgh boys. *swoons*

Neither revelatory or lofty on my part but fuck me Kemi Badenoch is profoundly awful. #PMQs

Laurence Fox has gone incredibly quiet. Magic innit.

Homemade gifts show that you really care & you've invested thought & graft into the process. It's my cousin's birthday soon so I crafted a card for him ❤️

Five years ago.

We should all be absolutely petrified by the all too real possibility of Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister.

Talking to my neighbour about her horrible old awful neighbour. He's dead. The body was there for a week. Police busted in. Discovered an almighty rat infestation, £12,000 in cash, 36 computers & a disgustingly ample amount of porn. And you thought your 1st day back at work was tricky. Urgh.

Re-jigging cupboards & found this sweet baby from 1996. My brother was one of the designers. I was absolutely shit at it Wipeout.

Everything is so awful I nearly reactivated my farcebook account. Only kidding! Don't be silly.

Happy 'let's pick this up in the new year' eve everyone

Back to work tomorrow & of course I'm fine about it.

Richard Tice on LBC this morning. So stupid we need a new word for stupid. God bless @lewisgoodall.com

Dear American friends have lived in France since the 80s Mid 90s I remember asking them if they'd ever move back home They eventually stopped laughing They explained that too many US citizens are actually bananas & that the world needed to wake up to that fact I was confused Now, less so

We're going to need another Hague.

Do you know who needs a regime change? The United States of America.

So, Mr Trump, what was it that first attracted you to a country with the world's most immense oil reserves?"

With impeccable timing, the Maybe I'm Amazed Substack is back, and it's free maybeimamazed.substack.com/p/and-so-it-...

I have found Mamdani's swearing-in ceremony in NYC today genuinely profoundly moving. You forget what decency in power looks like.

1st day of 2026 COMPLETED!!!!

To every single person who lit fireworks last night I hope you stand in multiple dog turds tomorrow.

The French for table tennis players is 'le pongiste'. The French for International table tennis day is 'La journée mondial du ping'. Chapeau.

It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

Public access to purchase fireworks is so fucking stupid we need a new word for stupid.

"I have experienced gay growth on many occasions" Oh how I 💕 you @sturdyalex.bsky.social & @pimlicat.bsky.social & @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social @quietriotpod.bsky.social Please hold my hand throughout 2026 as you did in 2025 Shaking my pompoms since the 2016 Remainiac days dear Naomi & Alex xxx

Happy Hogmanay from Glasgow everybody xxx

Naïve & nonsensical I know but here's to fewer fucking eejits in 2026 *clink clink*

Hogmanay in Scotland in one photo.

Hogmanay. 1 pm - Marty Supreme. 7 pm - Negroni Sbagliato. Midnight - hammered. Up yours 2025.

Have adored @kathyburke.bsky.social since forever & just finished her memoir Have adored @iandunt.bsky.social since bastard brexit & value his output Their mutual description of exceptionally subpar individuals as "cunts" is entirely on point Pearl clutchers, be gone Chaucer was on his game

Bowie turned down not one but two Honours. Because he was a TOTAL DUDE.

Listening to one of the OH's many playlists Propaganda Furniture The Associates DEVO The Lotus Eaters Fiction Factory Icehouse Black Heaven 17 Orange Juice Echo & The Bunnymen Talk Talk The Teardrop Explodes Then....Colonel Abrams??? He's bananas or on glue & goddamit I love it.

Not into the whole thing generally but 'Sir Idris' has a lovely ring to it. What an absolutely triffic fella.

Sunday evening Got the week ahead booked off work I'm eating leftover Xmas paté on potato scones & working my way through the clatter of not-quite-empty white wine bottles Trifle for brekkie, crisp butty in the afternoon with Irn Bru My current vibe is Stig Of The Dump Rickets, here I come

Brigitte Bardot was convicted of inciting Islamophobia and racism. She was homophobic, anti-immigrant and a supporter of Le Pen. Maybe give that some consideration before posting your praise.

Case in point, Pamela Anderson's choice to cease wearing makeup. The abuse she has received is obscene.

Me at 2 pm on Sunday 28th December: "I fancy a salad or some veggies". Me at 3 pm on Sunday 28th December: "I'm having a crisp butty". My brain is currently like the wild west.

Just remembered that Liz Truss sent Kier Starmer a cease & desist letter this year. Comedy gold. What an arsehole. Here's to more of the same from her in 2026. Fuck knows we'll need a giggle.

You can only listen to one genre of music for the rest of your puff. No hesitation. Ska.

Barron Trump is actually two Trumps in a raincoat.

Licence To Chill

Mate in a Greggs. Lady serving him: "It's four for three on sausage rolls if you're interested love? You look like you like a bit of pastry". Like taking a baked goods bullet.

We're going to fuck off somewhere nice & warm next Christmas.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

Got gifted @kathyburke.bsky.social's autobiography. Merry Christmas, good tidings etc but seriously fuck off & nobody talk to me for at least the next 5 hours :)

It would have been her 62nd birthday today. We were so lucky to have Caroline Aherne.

Remembering back in the 90s in London when we'd all just got the INTERNET at work & everyone downloaded those xmas lights that twinkled on your computer screen & the whole system crashed & we all got sent home & the IT department had a nervous breakdown. Simpler times.

I hope Brand has time to baptise Walliams before he goes to jail.

This has been going for fifteen years! It's a proper laugh & raises cash for charity. Cheers @rhodri.biz you're a top fella :) #duvetknowitschristmas

Compare & contrast. Lucidity V Lunacy.

I've never seen Love Actually & I intend to keep it that way.
