THREAD. 3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

We’ve reached a historic milestone: 100 million free school meals have been provided to London’s state primary children thanks to City Hall funding 🍎 These healthy meals are ensuring children don’t go hungry at school, while also taking the financial pressure off families.

Whatever else this government do (and there's plenty of issues with this budget) ministers will always be able to point to this as an incredible important contribution to the country's future. Almost half a million kids taken out of poverty.

This is Scotchy. He is here to collect the belly rub toll. Would like to remind you that failing to pay results in a fine of even more belly rubs. 12/10 (TT: scotchythedoxie)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Billy Connolly who turns 83 today, and who from a young age realised the importance of #Libraries. 'When I was an unhappy little boy, going to the library changed my life. It may even have saved it.' Happy Birthday Big Yin. 🎉🎂🌟❤️

Reminds me what a great voice Teddy Thompson has. I remember watching one of the Transatlantic Sessions where he performed, years ago, with the now late great Danny Thompson on bass. youtu.be/EPkC1uqmQRQ?...

Just saw the list of gritter names for this year and they have outdone themselves These always make me smile

100% worth the complete soaking that inevitably follows being caught out on the moor in light conditions like this. God, I love the moor this time of the year...

Bruce Hornsby turns 71 today. Of “The Way it Is”, he said: “I grew up in Virginia, and you could still feel the old lines — racial lines, economic lines — running through everyday life. The lyrics came from seeing those things .. I wasn’t trying to preach; I was just writing down what I saw.”

I really like Guy Garvey's show on 6 Music - it's one of the few shows I still listen to, but by god, his relatives are annoying.

Just watched one of the Transformer films - and Frances McDormand was in it! I'm a sucker for action films, especially if they have blokes in uniform yelling coordinates and running into danger. Not sure why there always has to be a beautiful half naked woman in it though.

Name a black and white film.

Hendrix was a huge SF nerd - I know this because I once commissioned a feature called Jimi Hendrix’s Five Favourite Science Fiction novels - so I’m in no doubt as to who is the biggest fan here.

He's still a cunt, then.
