Daughter 2.0 is due to start an MA in Bristol this September, but she’s struggling to find a place to live. If you happen to have a lead on such a thing…

LONDON people. I'm going to be there on Thursday afternoon/Friday morning. What free/cheap things can I visit/do? I'll be staying near Euston Rd/King's Cross so ideally things within walking distance.

This is why it’s impossible to make a living as a musician and we all advise our kids not to get their hopes up. THE STATE OF THIS WORLD’S ATTITUDE TO THE FUCKING ARTS IS INSANE. FIND THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE AND HOOF THEM IN THE PLUMS, ASAP.

NEW! Six albums I heard for the very first time in the horrible, heatwavey month of June. #MusicSky gayleramage.co.uk/new-to-me-mu...

Long story, but how trusting should I be that a ticket transfer via ticketmaster (though bought on ViaGoGo back when I didn't know it was a dodgy site) will be legit and won't turn up to venue on the night to find someone else with ticket for same row/seat?

Random question - well, not so random since I'm reading a Terry Pratchett novel right now - but has his work, or the man himself, ever been mentioned in an episode of Doctor Who?

We’ve got flyers for our screening and live podcast of Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde at ActOne Cinema, Acton on 30 October. Do you live nearby and could put some where horror fans hang out? I can post them out to you with free stickers and badges. Tickets here: tinyurl.com/DRJeky11

It's been an age since I watched Takin' Over The Asylum. I remember it being one of the first Scottish dramas I ever saw, in '94. Excellent cast and soundtrack. I think a rewatch is in order.

Anyone want to check how this webpage looks on their device (phone, tablet, desktop) and let me know if it looks/works okay? gayleramage.co.uk/jockula/

I refuse to listen or watch the prick but has he finally fucked off?

My wonderful friend Leslie Woodhead, the only person to film the Beatles in the Cavern, the pioneer of docudrama, and a wonderful human being has died aged 88. An extraordinary, very humble filmmaker who fostered the talents of Stephen Frears, Paul Greengrass, and many others. I’ll miss you

Hello, I’ve an event for my Muriel Spark biography next Weds (15th) at Waterstones Liverpool. We’ve sold barely any tickets, however, and it might be cancelled as a result. Please get a ticket if you’re nearby - it’ll be a lot of fun, and I’ll bring badges! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/waterstone...

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

Still absolutely chuffed at this. Now looking up what I can of the Caveneys from Roscommon, Ireland.

Yes, I'm still awake at 3am, but I've just solved a geneaology mystery/brick wall that had me flummoxed for 20 years. But now to catch up on sleep!

Authors beware: those slop scam emails are now impersonating Barnes and Noble employees. Not just using Gmail accounts, but making up Barnes and Noble-referencing email addresses. One obvious clue it's fake: A major bookstore chain isn't cold-mailing you for money to stock your work.

Just signed up to Vinted for the first time. Assumed it was for clothes and accessories but seems that you can buy/sell loads of different types of stuff.

And the same for authors and books

Marvel movies/shows/whatever. Too interconnected and I don't have the time or inclination to watch everything.

This is a project I’ve thought about starting for ages! It’s time to open the TV Burp Time Capsule and take a look back at how Harry Hill’s late-night comedy show, which quietly launched on ITV back in 2001, ended up changing TV forever! thatcomedyfan.wordpress.com/2026/07/01/t...

Quite like this. Wish Kylie would visit indie again for her own stuff, though. #MusicSky youtu.be/t2MURAWdTWg?...

Of course the engineer doesn't turn up. Of course. And of course they send another text to ask me to reschedule. Twats.

Well, Google can get to fuck.

Useless Sky, sending texts asking to confirm an appointment for today that isn't giving me the option to reply to

Just started reading Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett for the first time. Even though I love his work, there's a good chunk of the Discworlds that I've not yet read. #BookSky

BBC Two are showing an episode of The Good Life at 7pm tonight, in tribute to Penelope Keith.
