I respect our British culture. DO YOU?

Travelling to Bristol Airport this morning was a nightmare. The usual diversions because they'd shut the tunnel (every single time). But roadworks in Bristol and terrible signage sent me to a cul de sac in a council estate. A bloke in a roadworks lorry told me to go back the way I'd come and...

It's that time of year again.* *By the way, after ten years I still have no idea who these people are.

If there's one TV character I can identify with, it's this one.

This is great. From 1989, William Shatner (95 last March) being surprised by Michael Aspel (93 last January). Both still sprightly, then and now.

Well, happy 29th anniversary to the greatest ‘reverse ferret’ ever issued by a media outlet

I saw Bruce Forsyth on his last tour in 2015. I'd waited years to see him, and it was a fantastic night. Brilliant. "BUT..." When he came on, he pulled out a bit of paper and pretended to read from it. "Nice to see you... well, you know the rest" Why, Brucie? We were all waiting to shout, "Nice!"

There's another famous musician they appear to have forgotten.

Richard Keys' tribute to Frank Beard: "A powerhouse drummer, a tour-de-force, the heartbeat of the greatest little band from Texas ever. Unlike Gianni Infantino. Dreadful individual. "

I don't think I'll ever tire of Richard Keys' touching tribute to Kevin Keegan, which ends with him calling Gianni Infantino a "dreadful individual". www.reddit.com/r/footballcl...

Really sad news about the sudden passing of the brilliant Tim Brown. Most won't know him, but many do for his superb drumming with acts like the Classic Rock Show, various tributes to bands as diverse as Blur, The Carpenters, Michael Jackson and the Dave Evans Band, and for many years...

Huw-bris. A convicted sex offender submits his first poem for consideration at the Eisteddfod, then refers to a critic, a victim of child sexual abuse, as "sickeningly self-righteous".

The Voice of Rock joins Coverdale in retirement. I was lucky enough to have seen him twice over the last few years, both times doing a Deep Purple show. He was brilliant. Hope he recovers fully from his heart surgery.

If there is one tiny sliver of positivity I can take from our continued exile from the EU, maybe the only positive thing I can think of, it's that it pisses Steve Bray off. He's a prankster, a pound-shop Beadle wannabe. That's it.

Congratulations to Spain. Maybe the most deserved victory in the history of football.
