hang in there bud

Oh yes!! Although it's funny, in my experience when you're filming you have no sense of awareness or fear of your surroundings, as long as you keep looking down the viewfinder. I realised how I nearly died several times filming on boats in rough seas but was cheerfully cavalier at the time.

My problem with a current President seeking the Nobel Peace Prize is that he wouldn’t be able to spell it

Blimey, the French media didn't even have time to pop down to Carrefour for a lettuce.

Fifty six years ago today, around eleven-o'clock-at-night-ish, Michael Palin crawled out of the sea.

I don’t watch #SCD as a rule, so a bit wowsered finding out Tess Daly is 56

Still makes me laugh.

Tbf, it just needs that indentation on the basin so you could have your hair washed at the same time

Of course you do, Guardian writer, of course

As you’re a furniture person @dandyandafop.bsky.social , a lovely thread bsky.app/profile/lydi...

Somebody will have to explain to me, one day, why people think it’s a good idea to a) have their 2 year old sat on the top tube of the bike frame or b) their 3 year old sat on a seat behind them whilst cycling on a busy main road

Having wondered about a comment on here ‘…and Palestine admitted to the Commonwealth’, digging deeper I find that Palestine has more historical links with the British than Mozambique or Rwanda, both members of the Commonwealth but neither having been part of the British Empire

They do it to taunt us, don’t they?

As her name has cropped up today, by association, I found this from 2011. She’s not the only one to have a Scent Empire, believe me

Witchell there bringing in the good news from 35 years ago. The start of a €2 trillion spending ‘spree’

Quite a coincidence to have Portillo waxing about George Stephenson’s Rocket, 200 years last Friday since its first journey and reading about #TaylorSwift’s song ‘Wood’ about her fiancés Pocket Rocket #TheLifeOfAShowgirl

Trying to avoid the news and have ended up in Michael Portillo’s ‘lap’ on Beeb 2. Oh fucking hell, he’s turned into a mobile Town Cryer. I remember him losing his seat in May ‘97 and cheering

Think we’ve all had a shit day today #news

Just been enraged by someone on here. They’ll never know though; it’s what they get off on :)

Should I have more beer tonight? I had a few yesterday…was on the wagon for quite a while, and then… Nice to watch TV with a jar, particularly with something that you actually want to watch as opposed to stuff just drivelling by…

Enjoying this Ronnie Barker thing on BBC4 from 2012. Only just found out that Sheila Steafel was married to Harry H Corbett in the late 50s to ‘64

The UK used to be a prosperous country before they elected a lying populist. Also saying. (Referring of course to the Tories, who blew 3trillion over 14 years on crowd pleaser policies to maintain power, and are the root causes of of problems you think you have with Labour)

My new novel, The Heist Of Hollow London, is published TODAY. The hardback may not be out in the UK yet - it's listed for the end of October here - but the ebook is certainly available now. Here are some links but please feel free to buy wherever you can find it: amzn.to/3IOGJRw

What the world needs is less AI and more tech that can down drones.The world is going to be a far safer place without them, he says over-optimistically

I’d speculated $1m for each performer. They have deep pockets and that money is nothing to them; the controversy further advertises their ambition

Gonna be some random tariffs on Ireland tomorrow

One of my favourite "interviews". The great Dick Dale. I don't think I asked one question. Just pure unadulterated Dick.

My auntie had posted a picture on FB of my uncle and a group of people. My uncle used to be in an Irish show band called The Cadets. She's captioned this picture "Brendan next to Eileen Reid" (the singer with The Cadets) but looks closer at who else is in the pic...

No point in putting a Chris Morris meme up any more

Actually held my breath with my mouth open reading this. I may travel to Lichfield just to see it

Just read this in an article. Your problem is right there, staring you in the face.

This actually brought a tear to my eye. Had no idea. Knew someone who was in hospitality who thought she was “a complete arsehole”. Figures now #drink #becareful Lulu: Telling the world I'm an alcoholic was liberating www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just to be clear: - Paracetamol does not cause autism. - Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK - We do not have a massive free speech problem here. - Britain is not on the verge of civil war. These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.
