Tens of thousands celebrated Budapest Pride, the first since Viktor Orbán’s ousting.

Finally found my drag name.

There must be about two dozen swifts wheeling about in the sky above my house - I've never seen so many at once. I wonder if the humid weather means more insects? Good on you, little swifts.

I sat drinking next to Marco Pirroni in the Old Red Lion pub at the Angel in London, back in the late 80s. Kathy Burke used to be there sometimes too, playing pool. It was called "the in and out pub" because people used to get a cab to the front door and then nick out the back door without paying.

My son lives in Germany and he said this pic has become a classic there

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Anthony Bourdain June 25, 1956—June 8, 2018 ──────────────────── Anthony Bourdain and Iggy Pop on curiosity. Iggy Pop: You seem like a curious person. Anthony Bourdain: It’s my only virtue. Iggy Pop: Curious is a good thing to be. It seems to pay some unexpected dividends.

Frank’s fascinated by the Heaton park Park cattle.. & it seems to reciprocated.

Cracking thunderstorms late last night and then a deluge of rain - I could see the flashes of lightning tracking in from the Channel. It's definitely cooler today, so fingers crossed we may be near the end of this misery. I feel like I've been held hostage for a week. #Heatwave

There's an ice cream van nearby playing the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus, and I keep expecting a giant foot to come out of the sky and crush it.

Barely a day goes by without me thinking about Jim McGuinn being urged by a guru to change his name to something more spiritual and him choosing ROGER

It’s World Beatles Day, so here’s a strip we did for Viz ages ago.

It's got to that point of the day when the air outside is hotter than that inside, and so I've (almost) closed the windows, and closed blinds/curtains. I watched tv last night in the dark, so I could have the windows open without a flurry of insects getting in. I live in darkness now.
