*Bashing clipboard* Donk, donk, donk

Went to see a concert this evening which genuinely blew me away. In the first half there was the Miserere (one of my favourite pieces of music) and Barber's Adagio for Strings. But the second half was just a piece by Sir James Macmillan which blew me away, listen to Radio 3, 7.30 on Thursday

Paddington Bear being kept safely behind glass where he won't kill again

I want to get to precisely this level of celebrity

However because Rod Serling told fairy tales (complimentary) the bad guy typically got his ironic punishment - sadly Trump is a worthless piece of shit who gotten everything his ever wanted

Finally got round to reading @unfortunatalie.bsky.social's account of her sensory overloads - which both sounds exhausting and is more evidence of how people have to do groundwork to fit into a world not designed for them open.substack.com/pub/nothingb...

Well that answers the question 'is he running in 2028?' pretty clearly

A conversation I had recently with @willcooling.bsky.social recently what are the things that are only ever mentioned as bad news, for example gilt yields - no discussion of them has ever been to tell us things are going well

Transphobia is brain worms evidence 9494, today in The Times Janice Turner used the opportunity to pay tribute to Jenni Murray (one of this country's great broadcasters of the past 50 years) to just wang on about trans people www.thetimes.com/article/0d8a...

Guys, I'm increasingly unsure that allowing people aged nearly 80 power over the world's biggest economy and military is a good idea

I'm biased because I know and like the main pub in question here - but my feeling is that some pubs are clearly family pubs and some aren't, and particularly in London people can choose the sort of pub they want to be in www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

We were in Cornwall last week and there were locals schemes for the big attractions, seems plausible you could do something similar in London

Fine, but have they done enough Moon ju-jitsu classes?

God they look like the most evil stag do you've ever seen

Been listening to some old episodes of @gralefrit.bsky.social's Comfort Blanket and trying to decide what I'd choose and i think it's the episode of Faking It where the cellist becomes a DJ

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

Every week he gets a new job he isn't very good at. It's very on the nose.

Travelling back from Cornwall on the train and you have to conclude that the South East of England is the least interesting part of the country, at least aesthetically

Everything is awful, so I applied for Mastermind again

I'm really, really, really tired I have not known economic growth in my adult life and just when I got a tiny bit of optimism some mad bastard starts a war.

Or we are just rather a good team in quiz and life

No, solved that for you

I think the assisted dying bill went the right way - I don't trust governments with the power to kill people - but it's worth noting that I'm in a small minority. The last British Social Attitudes survey said that 80% of people in the UK support assisted dying www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

open.substack.com/pub/sillylit... @unfortunatalie.bsky.social going on silly little walks continue to be very good - this one reminded me of Paul Theroux's Kingdom by the Sea

Today is an exciting day, because by getting a train from St Erth to St Ives I get to prove Flanders and Swann wrong

Timothee Chalamet was justly punished for being ignorant about opera. That's carmen for you.

One is a cute woolly thing which is a mostly harmless evolutionary cul-de-sac, and the other is an alpaca

This is completely correct, and you should scrutinise whether this chamber should exist or not

For years now my quiz team has had the good fortune to call this lovely London boozer our home - and this article nails why I feel so affectionate towards it www.pelliclemag.com/home/2026/3/...

I have come to expect this sort of nonsense from the Tories but to see it from the Lib Dems is disappointing (although maybe it is Jo Swinson's squirrel murdering coming through again)

Compromise: keep Churchill on the notes but it's the dog version from the advert

"Ah this is some new meaning of the word safe I wasn't previously aware of" I use this, substituting safe for other words, all the time

Richard III in the summer of 1485

I was listening to the superb Decemberists album Picaresque on my commute this morning (an aging hipster,me?) and reflecting on their song 16 Military Wives, which hides its anger at the Iraq war with wit. Something that American liberals have lost the ability to do

I see his boss has told him what to do next

I regret booking a supermarket delivery between 9 and 10

Strong sense that I'm not going to have a foreign holiday this year...

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

want to follow the news but can't bear thinking about ordinary Iranians, who've been stuck under such an oppressive regime for so long, who maybe got a flicker of hope, briefly, a few months ago, then watched in horror as their friends and relatives got killed by the state, and now this, unspeakable

There's the very exciting game between Chelsea and Wrexham but the true spirit of English football is the Saudi Vs Abu Dhabi state-off happening on Tyneside

No one is going to mourn Ian Huntley, as no one mourned Ian Watkins - but that he was murdered in his cell is damning for the state of prison security

open.substack.com/pub/sillylit... There's almost nothing I enjoy more than really good writing about somewhere I love, so this really good piece by @unfortunatalie.bsky.social about possibly my favourite place in London is absolutely perfect

I am reading a book on the hunger strikers in Northern Ireland in 1981, and it is one of those topics where I become less certain what I think with almost every page

My hope for the headline the six wins of Igor Tudor is looking less likely I'll be honest

Someone I haven't seen for a while but who was vitally important to introducing me to the world of quiz, and is widely loved throughout that world has died seemingly quite unexpectedly and gosh there's a lot of sad and strange emotions flowing through me

I think the vital context for this war is that both Trump and Netanyahu know they'll be either dead or in prison in 5 years time
