Welsh people very friendly - boys are lovely. Nicer than the English boys.

I grew up in Denton and I'm delighted with the result. Labour richly deserved to lose, but anyone rather than #ohfuckoffnige .

"Come 1983 all this could sound very silly indeed" - what if you'd told Giovanni that the Damned would have their biggest hit single in 1986?!

I've found friendships, communities and interest groups on Twitter that I'm not about to leave. Sure, lack of protection is a scandal and the politics can be toxic, but Elon won't be in charge forever, and the balance won't improve if liberal voices take the cowardly way out like the Guardian did.

Formative years Anna! 😀

And another thing. It is REALLY tedious to open a news page every day and see photograph after photograph of the same worst possible humans gurning back at me. It's like a wanker's yearbook.

Is it wrong that the name Billie Jo got me thinking of a blanket on the ground?

And an intriguing story about the Moors Murderers splitting according to Steve Brady. Strange...

The Good Die Young ??!

Having grown up in Denton, I'm tickled to see the amount of publicity my old home town is getting, if somewhat horrified to think how it might turn out.

And introduced the Pistols on stage in one of their comebacks.

Visit of the Prime Minister of Denmark 22nd Jawary 2026 We'll get by with a little help from our friends

Sky News: Danish PM Mette Freideriksen’s note in the visitors book when she visited UK today

how about an excursion to Wham!'s chalet in Saas-Fee so they can have a slap-up meal after the snowballs and then relax with tired eyes...

The Stranglers getting other people in Uddingston annoyed is marvellous, as is the Bee Gees scared to their boots (a concept you use often, I wonder why?) You're as disappointed as I was by Sweet (and the Queen comparison would've hurt them), and nail the glories of Modern Lovers and TRB. Chapeau!

- and what a month of music. The start of 12 months of mega selling number ones, and your reviews of the twin peaks that are Wuthering Heights and Baker Street are spot on. I can no longer relive the feeling of hearing Mr Blue Sky for the 1st time so find it tediously overplayed rather than fresh.

Happy slightly belated birthday Lena!

Northern Lights over Greenland 🇬🇱

Labour defends Trump.

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

Were you listening to TMS? Aggers thought it was Brook coming out to bat, but Alex Hartley recognised Carse from his tattoos. She was just giggling at how ridiculous it was. "I can’t stop laughing, it's like being at school and your shoulders start to shake..."

Spot Remi Moses and Jesper Olsen with their arms around each other. Genius from the cartoonist with their history...

I pass by Oxford Circus tube now and again, it can be rough! Best wishes to you for Christmas and New Year. A little dragon told me some travel is in the offing...?

I liked the record shop owner quoted earlier that year saying little old ladies had been in asking if he had any more records by that nice Captain Sensible. "Well I've got this Damned album..."

😳

Apparently Shirley said something to Marilyn about a man you'd had who was very good - I must borrow him.

Absolutely, and happy anniversary both.

Point of order, it wasn't the Tube but an overground train to Potters Bar 😄

I have fond memories of our vicar taking charge of the music at the church summer fete and playing "Sympathy for the Devil".

One of the most iconic, sad, but truly beautiful pictures in the history of Manchester United. Real Madrid in Salford at the grave of Eddie Colman. President Santiago Bernabeu laying flowers. A Tale of Two Cities.

Wonder why this scene looks so familiar...
