I was just about to throw some outgrown bras away, and remembered this scheme. So I thought I'd remind you all too! www.againstbreastcancer.org.uk/recycling/br...

Bra Recycling - Against Breast Cancer

Our bra recycling scheme needs the bras you no longer wear to fund pioneering secondary breast cancer research.

On FB this memory "popped up" of our little tango featuring my son as guest star with my friend's birthday balloons. The loon.

Downstairs flat, mum and teen shouting. Mum complains that teen doesn't take the dog out. Teen (recently passed her driving test) shouts that how can she when the dog doesn't like the car. ... I'm not altogether sure that's what mum meant. Could be wrong of course.

Rod Liddle was very much like Marmite, in that you wouldn’t want him on your television screen, radio, or newspaper.

I work in disability study support. I hate the effect on students + colleagues that 'just asking questions' has after programmes like this. Families who don't want to believe in ADHD, students stuck waiting on diagnoses, doubters feeling emboldened to say "it's a bandwagon". This prog is DANGEROUS.

Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

@levparikian.bsky.social Lev. My mate is a stupendously good jazz bassist in south London but wants to join an amateur orchestra. Do you conduct one? Or can recommend?

Searching on maps for cafes along my route I saw "Cabin Cafe" which I misread as "Catbin Cafe" and not sure why I guffawed quite so much. Maybe I thought it was nearby where that woman put a cat in a bin and thought it a strange homage.

What can you get in Central London for £8? Cinema ticket? No. Coffee & sandwich? Just about. Tonight you could have heard 105 musicians of the BBC Philharmonic playing Betsy Jolas, Sibelius & Strauss at the BBC Proms. Some of world’s finest players are there every night until Sept 12. For £8. Go!

When life has been all manner of mayhem I can thoroughly recommend sitting in a glorified air conditioned shed, wrapped in a super fluffy blanket because the air conditioning is THAT good, looking at this view, and taking a moment to breathe.

Your Sunday will be brightened by watching just the first 30 seconds of this, I swear.

I just took my car to a new (highly recommended) garage to be fixed. Turns out the last place who repaired it were complete cowboys and their bodged work will have to be undone first, costing me more money. Whoever could have predicted such an outcome especially for a single female??

Ah Bonnie Tyler. My first recording session, we were completely ripped off. In the mid-eighties, we were teenagers busking in the street, my quartet were approached and asked if we'd ever done any sessions. "No" was the answer they wanted. (cont...)

Mixed results in the celebrity art quiz last night. Bobby Davro knew nothing about impressionism, but Bonnie Tyler was superb in the Turner round.

Some of us can only dream of having the kind of wealth, power, privilege, influence, extensive media platform and brazen self-regard you need these days to become a man of the people standing up to the establishment.

If you still have doubts that Farage doesn’t give a fuck about the electorate and the British tax payer, the average cost of a by-election in the UK is about £300k.

Farage reckons that an awful lot of people wanted him to force a by-election but he actually meant a lot of awful people.

Breaking - Trump to overturn Farage’s resignation

If we all move to Clacton immediately can we vote in this bye-bye election?

The world is on fire, but sometimes you just gotta laugh. And sometimes you just gotta write a Gregorian chant inspired by a viral tweet, a project that definitely was the best possible use of our rehearsal time 🙃 Please enjoy The Riddle of Sir Mix-a-Lot 🍑
