All those times you’ve looked at my avi and thought: “Cripes, I’d love something like that.” Well, here’s your chance.

Quietly, with minimal fuss, a new Shearwater album has appeared. My word. Its beautiful.

He’d be called Cob here in Brum, and Batch up the road in Coventry.

New baby hippo born at Berlin Zoo. Named Brötchen. Which means "little bread roll." You're welcome

Floyd and Delicate Sound of Thunder is on Sky Arts. Rachel Fury. Oh my.

🎵Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie Rub your hands all over my body 🎶 Not me, those are the words of Queen of popular music Madonna.

Without saying The Colour of Spring, name a perfect 80s album that opens with Happiness is Easy, closes with Time is Time, and was released by the London-based band Talk Talk.

Without saying The Bends, name a perfect 90s album that opens with Planet Telex, closes with Street Spirit (Fade Out), and was released by the Oxford-based band Radiohead.

That explains why it’s still under my pillow.

Of course Osibisa were prog. I mean, look at their album covers. #proms

Only one choice for my #fridaynightdrinkinghats tonight as I watch Prog at the #Proms. After me: “A flower?”

Dom Joly there on keyboards. #proms

Clearly this is a scam email. But the use of “unsettlingly” means I can almost forgive them.

Local FB groups: for people who reckon they'd have aced the d day landings but are terrified of men in vans, teenagers, accents and being able to walk 10 minutes to the pharmacy

You know you’re all missing the repeat of Gogglebox on 4, right?

Local plumbers two steps ahead of every university administrator in america 👏

Not only do I hope Spain win the World Cup tomorrow, I really hope they hold up a banner afterwards saying ‘We Won Just Like Joe Biden in 2020.’ 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 I wonder how much The White House will believe in ‘free speech’ then?

We now have to have signs up at roadworks saying “Workers working offsite” because bellends need to see you there, shovelling 24/7 so they can vroom vroom unimpeded, or they’ll complain. Utter bellendry.

Wrote some copy at work to encourage people to think of their natural spaces during the heatwave. It started something like: “Hot weather; great for BBQs, not so great for nature.” A *senior* manager said we couldn’t use it, as “bearded dragons like hot weather, and they’re natural.” The joys.

I've seen That Guardian Journalist You All Like say it about Farage - "Ignore his politics & he's an entertaining bloke to have a pint with". No he's fucking not, he's a boorish sack of fag ends and shit teeth with zero interior life that you'd meet in any pub in Britain. What's *wrong* with you?

Actually, I think you’ll find it’s pronounced “Matterfa-chey”.

Who is this Ron Bacardi bloke anyway? #fridaynightdrinkinghats

Yesterday I had no internet for a few hours and ate an apple. It felt like an extremely minor insight into what it's like to live as a horse.

A friend told me she was taking a weekend away from her husband and going to Brighton Pride this year. “Don’t worry,” she said, “I’m taking a lesbian with me.” I never knew that was a service they offered. Can you hire one, like a Lime bike?

I don't want your website to send me notifications, I don't want a tour of the app, I don't want to try your new vibe coding agent, and I definitely don't want you to write a post for me, and I will not want any of those things tomorrow or next week or in a year either Fuck OFF
