The streetlighting on the road down from Machu Pichu uses incandescent lamps.

An Inca who conspires with owls could be described as being Inca hoots.

An Inca with pica: He's compelled to eat rubber matting and artificial turf at football grounds. Mat chew, pitch chew.

I enjoy a good dig into surnames.

Nee ma hurty according to the captain. A gallant effort.

You can almost hear Roger Tilling praying that she doesn't press her buzzer. #UniversityChallenge

I saw this terrible cushion at a table top sale today. I stared at it for a good two or three minutes before I realised it's meant to be a horse. Am I cruel? Not as cruel as the intended recipients who obviously didn't want it.

Badgers on tenners and otters on fifties, Ferrets on fivers, yeah that'd be nifty, Weasels on twenties, much better than kings, Mustelids are just my favourite things

It was a Piccadilly Pendolino paranormal pomegranate.

And then, as I was boarding my train, a ghostly piece of fruit manifested before my eyes: It hovered in the air in the aisle and then simply disappeared...

This can be sung to the tune of Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, should you ever wish to.

When I'm waiting for trains in Manchester, I have to have some hard Italian cheese with tangy yellow chutney. It's my Piccadilly pecorino/piccalilli peccadillo.

Scottish chefs on #GreatBritishMenu this week. One of the chefs has served up a potato soup with a Trainspotting theme. I was hoping it would be mulligatawny served in a tiny toilet.

I know it's not the main issue, but what's the FIFA protocol for when a host nation for a world cup attacks or declares war against a participating nation in the run up to the competition? especially when the head of the host nation is in receipt of your inaugural peace prize?

Deep Fakes with Hattie Jacques.

Earlier tonight we had a programme about AI with Hannah Fry. I hope we get something about the Large Language Model with Chris Waddle.

Last time I was in London, I went to Notting Hill I thought If found someone's wallet on a bench. I picked it up and said "Oh, it's a mitten". Just as that moment, Bill Nighy walked by and said "Glove, actually..."

A Boyzone fan might call their cat Ronan Kitten as a nod to Ronan Keating. This got me wondering whether Beatrix Potter was a fan of Tom Keating, the infamous art forger.

Psychopath is now long enough to get the dangly wooden cat. She wasn't happy when I moved it out of reach.
