Oh well played #WordMaster (and me, of course).

Your poems are shit, and so are your stunts. You shout at hotels, you wife-beating cunts.

I promise, I deliver: as deep a dive as you're going to get on Peter Yates' brilliant BREAKING AWAY, w photos, script excerpts and making-of info. tremblesighwonder.com/2026/01/28/n...

Hit me Paul Shane one more time

I have rarely felt so seen

Tried to pull a loudspeaker into the back room. It only reached the doorway. Later, needing something from the front room, I ran and hurdled the speaker. Result: a flying headbutt of the doorframe, followed a second later by cracking the back of my head on the speaker. Passed out from embarrassment

The comedian and Stoke City fan Nick Hancock asked me for the football scores at Leicester station, and I told him them.

Incredible. I remember being terrified of her TV presence as a kid.

Magnificent

Just me? #fnarr

@dannykellywords.bsky.social @lordshortcake.bsky.social Saw this today in Bournville. The University of Turmoil Afloat, maybe?

The proof is NOT in the pudding. The proof OF the pudding is in the eating. But it’s too late, isn’t it? Not even sure why it bothers me.

Channel4's never-ending FrasierLoop is about to renew again. At 10.40, the last ever episode (reboot notwithstanding) will be immediately followed by the first ever. Always feels oddly Sisyphean. #Frasier #Sisyphean #Whatever

If I have one regret in life it’s that I just watched Midsommar.

Number 3 is @petepaphides.bsky.social’s fault. He posted a link to it in the spring and I couldn’t stop listening to it for a fortnight, preventing a Royal Scam clean sweep.

Children watching a performance of Saint George and the Dragon at an outdoor puppet theater in Paris, 1963 by Alfred Eisenstaedt. I love everything about this photo.

Google reminds me that it’s five years to the day since I touched Joe Brown’s banjo.

I was disgusted when I heard that Mark Chapman was in the frame to become the new host of Match Of The Day. Listen, good luck to the guy but, for me, assassinating a Beatle should automatically disqualify you from hosting the nation’s best-loved football highlights programme. I’ve always said that.

Introduce yourself with some jobs you have done apart from what you do now. 1. Oral Historian 2. Crisp packet packer 3. Bin man 4. Inserter of eggs into pork pies 5. Argos warehouse monkey
