At the station in Minehead, waiting to board Sir Nigel Gresley (it's a steam train, allright). There are many people here wearing those broad brimmed canvas hats with air vents in and drawstring chin straps. This is a big look amongst the train community, I perceive.

Post a photo from your twink era

Allright losers? I'm off to a heritage steam railway, because that's how I roll. Might buy a souvenir bookmark. Not that the squares would understand.

🎶 Why do birds fall out of the sky, every time you walk by? 🎶 Because I emit lethal electro-magnetic waves.

Been visiting your relatives today.

Happy Birthday to this stunner, my mam, shown here helping with my first nude photo shoot.

I am en-cidered. Somerset cider - the best cider.

I heartily endorse this entire undertaking. It's marvellous.

We're down visiting my mam at the moment and it was Weston Pride today. Went to great party in the park, with a such lovely atmosphere in the sunshine. Here's mam with an absolute star we met called David. He was on the local news this evening, for being fabulous.

RIP David Clayton Thomas. What a voice. youtu.be/D9QN81PkvRQ?...

Seeing as how every twat is going on about it, my major memory of the summer of '76 is going to the open air pool in Weston (later Bansky's Dismal Land). It was like human soup. There was a ladybird plague and everything floating in it - lolly sticks, fag ends, empty cans, etc. was covered in them.

Landlocked Blueskyers will be pleased to know, I've just been for a refreshing dip in the sea. It was very pleasant indeed, just the comfortable side of cool. I'm now like a new man.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. Mine's be gone 17 years now. Hug your dad!

North Face tsunami!

A reunion of this ancient band of incorrigibles is in the offing. Be warned! themavisrileyexperience.bandcamp.com/album/songs-...

Bonny Prince Billy on Jools Holland - the spit of George Roper. Potential Yootha Joyce lookalike on backing vocals opportunity for future shows.

Game of Thrones would have been much better on Lambrettas.

No matter how cool you are, you'll never be as cool as Muddy Waters.

Ace article! Many years ago, the band I was in, The Mavis Riley Experience, had quite a bit of interest from A&R at Rough Trade. We accordingly organised a showcase at the Bull & Gate for them. Sadly, this was in 1991, just as they were going bust! Glad they managed to survive, even if we didn't.

There has been much interest and talk in Llanbadarn Fawr recently about a peacock which has mysteriously appeared in the village. Well, I'm sitting outside the village pub and it's just turned up on a chimney over the road. A carnival atmosphere has ensued!

Four years ago I was in Barcelona, talking to interesting people. Not sitting here reviewing registered files in the gloom.....

The lupins by the pond are going crazy this year. I put this down to their guardian Buddha's lupin headdress.

Dyma hen gân ambwti cigfrain sydd wedi cael cyfeithu rhydd o'r Albaneg mewn i Gymraeg gan fy hunan. Here's an old song about ravens, given a free translation from the Scots to Welsh by myself. lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/track/y-ddwy...

Some ideas for names for Americans: Huck Chippenbacker Randy Wintergreen Fist Burkholder Meghan Slurpenbaum Piper Dilfsucker Mint Henderson Finch Birdtable Feel free to use them.

There's a lot of talk about this 100 greatest novels you must read, going 'round. Well, if this one isn't on it, I'm not interested.

Fixing home-made brail rings to a well weathered sail, which features the owl of Athens. Also started adjusting the poses of the oarsmen with hot water. Each one is destined for a particular seat, hence the codes. 80 of these little rascals I have to do! #histscalemodels #trireme #ancientgreece

Potential leadership scenario: Andy Burnham turns up at Streeting's and offers him out. Streeting comes to the door and tells him to fuck off. Burnham sticks the nut on him and they grapple. Angela Rayner arrives and yells "Leave it Andy, he's not worth it!" They pause and she shivs them both.

He's been given a wedgie and a Chinese burn.

Wes Streeting. Not so much out of the frying pan into the fire, but out of the frying pan into the shit filled chamber pot. The contents of which will then be fried. And then thrown on the fire.

Happy 80th birthday to Graham Gouldman! Here's just one of the many absolute bangers what he wrote.... youtu.be/F1E-9ZwoKnA?...

Calan Hâf Hapus, bawb!

Beltane shenanigans in Llanbadarn Fawr....

It's Bandcamp Friday, you groovy darlings! Now would be the perfect time to buy an EP of classic psychedelia. Just sayin'.... lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/album/strang...

Friend was telling me in work today that a mate of his was getting rid of a load of stuff and had offered give him a good condition copy of this album. He will of course be telling him not to give away what is an £800 record! youtu.be/1PlEKuLzNiI?...

Rowing rails and thole pins done - I salvaged the kit rails cut from the hull for these (triremes didn't have railed decks). Now making and fitting the belaying racks. When that's done, I'm finally onto posing the rowers and the oars. #histscalemodels #trireme #ancientgreece

Bore da, Groovers! The mighty tower of Llanbadarn Fawr looking very handsome this morning.

We've got some new, original art work for our latest EP on Bandcamp, lovingly tailored to each track. Why not treat yourself to a modal journey to ancient Babylon... lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/track/ishsta...

🎶 Down on Cyprus Avenue With a childlike vision slipping into view The click and clacking of the high-heeled shoe Ford and Fitzroy, and Madame George🎶

This is ace.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18

Just heard that Patrick Campbell-Lyons has died. I love Nirvana and his natural, unaffected voice. This is beautiful and one of my favpurites. RIP. open.spotify.com/track/53nJJ2...

Have to say, lads, the drug driving with an unlicensed monkey in the car story has put a proper smile on my face.

Watching University Challenge, Edinburgh have a bloke on the team who would definitely sell you some black market Nylons off-ration.

This house is opposite our hotel. I mean, that is definitely haunted.
