Lunch break with a view

Amused that Trump's lawyers really sent the legal letter to: BBC Television Centre, London W12 8QT. I wonder if they included a self addressed envelope for a reply and called 018118055 to confirm receipt. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/tru...

BBC apologises to Trump over Panorama edit but refuses to pay compensation

It’s only Tuesday and I’ve already had to deploy Get Down Services to lift the spirits… looking forward to crisps/quiche/dog dribble next week :)

How sad… He was always generous with his time and up for interviews … Chatted with him for this a few years back.. www.bbc.com/news/uk-engl...

Yay! Got my gig ticket mojo back :)

@robinince.bsky.social some lovely words about Liquid News here - although have consulted and the consensus was we weren’t chasing the “smart younger” audience - just doing knob jokes :) www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

Continuing my run of missed rail connections into Cornwall - 4 mins this time - the cancellation of the Aberdeen to Penzance has has such a detrimental effect… and 100% refund again!

Good news: you’ll soon be able to drink for a bit longer in the pub after work. Bad news: no-one else is going and a pint’s £8.

What IS the Spanish for wine opener?

Pickleball at the courts Becker and Graf used to train at.. obvs am now an expert

Morning…. Not sure I’ll be back

The mates I’m visiting say they’ve had to limit the increasingly bonkers birthday parties their kids go to - last one involved flying the whole class and a horse to Ibiza for the weekend (she’s 8) #costadelcrime

Coffee with a view

Late bloomer

ACORNS FOR PEACE Yoko Ono's symbolic acorn (oak) trees in Coventry remembered 20 years on www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All the news you need… Could metal music help save the planet?

I think someone had one too many in the City Arms last night.. and has decided to spray paint their version of patriotism on the zebra crossings of Earlsdon... keeping it classy

At least the cat is happy my gig was cancelled… Fire is on and Glen Campbell is her favourite - Wichita Lineman especially

If anyone else was heading to Echobelly at HMV tonight .. just been cancelled amid fire escape row

Cuppa with a mate resulted in him foisting these beauties on me… Young Horace, Pauline & Napalm Death… Hopefully can raise some cash for a dementia charity… Previously written about him here: www.bbc.com/news/uk-engl...

Totally this.. keeping me sane on latest delayed rail journey..

Can’t remember a rail journey to or from Cornwall this year where I haven’t been able to claim 100% of my fare back due to delays… I’m never in a rush but blimey - not sustainable

It's like an Earth Embassy for some advanced alien species.

Swedish font love

Oh hello #Sweden

Consoling myself with the current view

Wah… didn’t get tickets for the first time ever :( May be stewarding next year

Skellefteå culture night - local band Save The Daggers and an exhibition by Klara Kristalova

Great thing about Sweden so far: • Civil defence room in the basement • Sauna in the basement • The light

Packing for Skellefteå… famous only for its busted battery factory and the Wannadies … so this on repeat: m.youtube.com/watch?v=sO0o...

BBC West Midlands Radio is devoting its entire breakfast show to reporting on the Jaguar Land rover cyber attack today. Incredible to hear about the enormous impact it's having on local people who rely on the plant for direct and indirect employment. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

These two are currently in Slovenia at the 13B gallery in Kamnik. Always keen to represent Coventry in other places and this is a fab opportunity! 🐘🐘🐘

Message from my mate Soph earlier… made me laugh… how you “accidentally” become a friend to the stars (he takes his kids to eat where she works) #shoegaze

Criminals: Don’t be like this guy, he’s giving crime a bad name. Local dentists: Stand down, you won’t know him.

Pears grown just down the road

Daughter wanted to go old school… I’m here to be convinced

Bin day again... Join me for live updates: www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1...

Someone in the Brum office is not taking this BBC campaign very seriously #gout

Dennis Morris: 'I bunked off school and became Bob Marley's photographer'

Really was!

We have so much to be proud of in Brum. Lets shout about it more. www.independent.co.uk/travel/uk/bi...

Not really helping

Can no longer go to this tomorrow.. but have a ticket free to a good home if any St Vincent fans out there..

@kedwondo.bsky.social Any of your London mates want a free ticket to the St Vincent Prom.. I can no longer go Wah! It was only cheap and there are shedloads listed on Twickets so unlikely to sell - rather it go to a good home

Only caught the very tail end of Moseley Folk.. but what a great night - Mohammad Syfkhan, Mercury Rev and the mighty Doves. Some pics from there and Supersonic: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Massive music weekend in Brum... Supersonic, Moseley Folk and - of course - Noose Fest... Spoke to some of those involved about the Ozzy effect... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
