Just been to see Mike Joyce of The Smiths being interviewed. This charming maaan!

#Bluesky very flaky over the past few days. Luckily i can go to the status page for updates, NOT!

Light skies evenings in the UK. Radical idea, let’s stay permanently on British Summertime and get warmer days and lighter evenings all year round!

The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

I’m home from the Damien Dempsey gig at the @hareandhounds.bsky.social in Birmingham. What a great night. The lighting and sound were on point and Damo and his band pulled the crowd into the performance. I stood in the middle of the floor crying to the sentiment of passing All Our Cares Away.

I witnessed kindness this evening, after a night out. Two young girls saw a guy who had been drinking, and didn’t really know where he was, but he was trying to have a meal in a fast Asian food place

Thank you Lucy Hartley

I’m currently listening to Tori Amos being interviewed on Radio 6 Music, and I’m shocked to find out that she covered a Chas and Dave song: youtu.be/17YEusD6Z04?...

Anyone got a recipe for a salt and vinegar or cheese and onion crisp burrito or quesadilla?

I’ve been watching the Channel 4/E4 documentary #DirtyBusiness about the pollution of UK waters by greedy water companies. This scandal needs to be widely discussed like the #PostOfficeScandal.

I’ve been to Liverpool twice in two years. The first time I smashed my face and broke my nose after missing a step. The second time was today. I somehow missed another step again whilst walking into the train station on my way home. A lot of soreness. Liverpool, why don’t hate me so?

Uh oh, he’s gone full English on us 😁

Just completed my longest gap between the first and last time I saw a band perform - 48 years. Darts, you were superb then, and superb now. So happy for the photo posing and chats as well. #DaddyCool

#WutheringHeights Sweepcliff.

The gods of old and new please bless Alexa for protecting me from words I have already used to request the Lana Del Ray album.

Currently scraping a horrible sticker off a book I bought, which is turning into a bigger mission than I expected. How’s your day going? #fail

Some friends and I are working our way through The Observer’s 25 Best Albums of the Century So Far, all through Feb. Catching up with albums that passed me by. Yesterday was The Strokes - Is This It, today Amy Winehouse - Back to Black. Sharing reviews and scores. observer.co.uk/culture/musi...

Thinking I could reduce my Discover feed by 90% just using 5 or so words.

Watching Spiderman from 2002, and you just know that Norman Osborn would be a regular visitor to #EpsteinIsland

Today would have been my dad’s 85th birthday. Marking as I always do, with a Guinness, (0.0), and #TheQuietMan. The film was made in the area where he grew up. They were let out of school to see it being made. I feel a little essence of my dad in the cut of John Wayne in some of the scenes.

Went to see #Saipan today. I really enjoyed the acting and the tension.

Booked up for #PrimaveraPorto to see the band #Smerz because 80 odd miles to Bristol was too far to go to see them. 🙄

Catching up with the #TommyTiernan show. I now have a new respect for Jane Seymour! #spierghorm

I’ve spent the evening at @hareandhounds.bsky.social watching 5 up and coming bands. The quality of each band was superb. Support live music, wherever you are!

I ordered a specialist pillow to improve my nocturnal activity. It should have been delivered the other day, but it’s been delayed due to the holidays. Needless to say I’m losing sleep over it!

Staying in on #NewYearsEve is an experience. Will know better for next year.

@itvweather.bsky.social Please, please, please please add Galway to your weather maps shown after the ITN news.

Visited the #Derry Guildhall yesterday, and amongst the exhibitions, there was a section dedicated to John Hume. He won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Gandhi Peace Prize and the Martin Luther King Jr. Non-Violent award, the only person to do this. However, he was never awarded the FIFA Peace prize.

#TheScratch in Derry were amazing

I’m not sure if this is true or not, but aren’t statues sculpted/cast and buildings named after notable dead people?

My first arena gig in 39 years to see Wolf Alice. I prefer smaller, more intimate gigs. I can’t believe the price drinks here.£9.25 for a pint of Madri. Outrageous!

Got to say that the #Bolt service is awful. They offer discounts, but no drivers pick up. They offer low fares and drivers turn up on the wrong side of the road and drive off before you are able to cross the road to you. So unreliable.

Just heard that Mani from the Stone Roses has died aged 63. RIP fella

Watching I’m a Celebrity. Why do all people that have plastic surgery end up looking like they are a villain from Dick Tracy

bsky.app/hashtag/ASon... The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Is it just for me, or are #Evri a completely rubbish courier firm?

I don't want to see the BBC gone. I want it to become what it was before the Tories turned it into their very own propaganda machine, supporting both the Tories and Reform,UK above all and any other Political Party.

The lead singer of Living in a Box, who released the single Living in a Box, has died. I wonder where he is now.

Talk Talk 'Spirit of Eden' Mark Hollis sings like he’s searching for meaning inside the quiet. “I Believe in You” still sounds like a prayer whispered in the dark. Not an album you play, an album you let happen to you. Years on, it still feels infinite. Pure transcendence. #nowplaying🎧

The Google Pixel 10 advert annoys me. The apps are fairly the same on Apple and Android phones and other apps are available, so why the “look we are different” stance?

Is there an Irish version of Last Time I Seen The Sun? With a simple arrangement it could be a Parting Glass for the modern age. #speirgorm

Based on the songs, what is special about the girls from Tuam? #N17 #RockyRoadToDublin #speirgorm

I hate burgers in brioche buns. My chicken thigh burger has completely collapsed while picking it up. A pox on the head of whoever decide that this weak bread was a good idea, and a pox on any other chefs that decided it was worth replicating. #FirstWorldProblems

Awaiting this to be launched

Is it only me, but is the piano piece at the end of Layla self-indulgent tosh at odds with the rest of the track?

If the government is preparing a bill to remove titles, they shouldn’t forget Mone

I went to see the Birmingham, UK, band The Clause at The Hare and Hounds last night. I was very impressed. They have an album out on Friday. Should be worth a listen. The support was from another Birmingham band, The Ansells. Equally, as good. Check them both out where lever you stream.

Is it just for me, or is YouTube broken in IOS 26.1 latest beta?

I went to a very loose, very fun, open mic evening. I got up and sang Wonder Wall, and High and Dry. Sang may not be the right description, but the evening was so much craic.
