One of my neighbours has altered the badge on their car to read Land Raver.

I once had a nasty strain in the Trossachs.

At the Battle of Cable Street on 4 October 1936, at least 100,000 people, including Jewish residents, Irish dock workers, Communists and Labour Party members prevented a march by Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists (BUF) from passing through the East End...

Big fat dirty jet from Loughrigg Terrace a decade ago.

So good. I used to listen to Terry on R2 when I drove to work, and remember having to pull the car over because I was laughing so much when he did a Janet and John story. Especially when he and John Marsh would be corpsing. What a top bloke he was.

The restoration of Richmond station to its early Art Deco grandeur has been completed, with original features repaired and lost features replicated in modern materials. The Art Deco gem first opened in 1937, designed by the Southern Railway team led by chief architect James Robb Scott

People forget that Kraftwerk were actually only two people with their ventriloquist dummies

I once had a nasty strain in the Trossachs.

89 years ago, on the 4th of October 1936, antifascist counter protesters stopped a British Union of Fascists march through London’s East End. The Metropolitan Police tried to clear the way for the fascists resulting in violent clashes known as the Battle of Cable Street. #otd #history 🗃️

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore. If it's big and it's round and it grows in the ground it's a marrow.

We used to sing this when scuba diving - If you put your hand in a crack And you don't get it back That's a moray

Keeping Up Appearances outtakes.

With trust comes responsibility. To be truthful, reliable, worthy of it. Not to betray, abandon, or disappoint. Every time someone trust us (two- or four-legged), we are (t)asked to ensure they are safe with us. We have their backs. Stand by their side. #GoodMorning, everyone.

Two cowboys are lost in the desert. One cowboy sees a tree that's draped in bacon. "A bacon tree! We're saved!" He says. He runs to the tree, but suddenly out of the blue bullets come flying from all directions he's shot and killed on the spot. Turns out it wasn't a bacon tree, it was a ham bush.

I've blown my nose more times today than Nick Grimshaw says "this morning" on his 6 Music show. #AutumnChill

Making topical comedy at bleak news times can be so tough but, in my book, it’s thank heavens for the return of Have I Got News For You, where Ian and Paul work magic to conjure laughs when there are none. Tonight with wonderful Miles Jupp and Sheila Hancock - and me trying to host. 9pm on BBC One.

Little sods.

Little sods.

Happy 70th birthday to the wonderful Phil Oakey. Here are the Human League performing Being Boiled on Granada TV in 1978 youtu.be/hENt5xGR8Ng

One of the most amazing sunrises I’ve ever seen- around 5 AM out the window of my hotel room in Darjeeling, India

Doomscrolling break. Especially for everyone facing deadlines and challenges, I offer you this small, persevering hedgehog by way of encouragement and inspiration. #TinyJoys

It may be the first of October but still the holiday balls keep on coming. Here's some stupendously shiny sunken balls all the way from Munich. (try saying stupendously shiny sunken balls after some schnapps)

Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds started 60 years ago today! @gerryanderson.bsky.social A British show that fired my imagination as a child (but 20 years later). A childhood that stays with me thanks to the Thunderbird 2 replica in my office. 😌

Went outside to look at the perfect half moon, and nearly collided with a bat! It was happily swooping around in the dusk, quite large, although too quick to be able to ID it. Can't believe it's October tomorrow. Bah.

Gorgeous day - summer's last hurrah - so went for a long walk across the cliffs. Met these gorgeous lads - the one in the middle was outstanding in his field.

Happy 40th birthday to Just Like Honey by The Jesus and Mary Chain - released as a single on this day in 1985

I thought I did score it with Benny Hill music! Anyway, here it is - your tax dollars at work by nearly a dozen ICE Guys - in all its embarrassing glory. To Yakity Sax.

We've just been discussing food and its importance to human development even beyond sex as Freud asserted, and all I could think of was this from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference. “One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception. “The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

This is Gus. His brother Walter is trying to teach him how to catch a treat. Sadly it may be a lost cause. Still 13/10 for both (IG: waltandgusthebernese)
