Today on Around the World on @chilternvoice.bsky.social: It’s wall-to-wall sistas as we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay!
Join me from 6pm to hear some of the world’s most inspirational women singers and instrumentalists. #WorldMusic

Can’t quite decide which character irritates me more: the janitor in the old series, or “HR Lady” in the new one. #Scrubs

Give us ‘You Don’t Know Me’ instead. #totp

The last time Paramount and Warner Bros got together, we ended up with the CW.

Two episodes in, and I’m enjoying the revived #Scrubs. Interesting how they’ve included a British doctor who keeps bigging up the NHS. I wonder how many emails Disney have had complaining that the show’s “gone woke”?

And for people who cut the sides off them to make ‘reels’ for watching in portrait mode on phones?

Job websites need to be a lot more transparent. I saw an editor job advertised the other day. It looked ok, so I applied. It was only when I got the “thanks but no thanks” email today that I discovered that the would/be employer was a nasty Christian nationalist organisation. Dodged a bullet there…

Not you - it was in the post you shared.

I agree, but why call it “content”? It’s a whole movie based on a whole stage musical. Calling it “content” makes it sound like some rando in their car ranting into their phone for likes!

(Sorry, but the way that anything we read, watch or listen to these days is all just “content” annoys me)

I saw him live at the Royal Festival Hall with George Duke.

Congratulations!

You can be told a million times by a million parents how this feels, but words can't really describe it.

It’s been a few weeks; has anyone checked in on that poor man who was unable to drink his truck, drive his fish and catch his beer? How’s he doing now?

Love that album. I discovered it (and her) when a cousin gave me a compilation cd that had August Day Song on it.

I’m hoping he’s around long enough to lose spectacularly in the midterms. Or am I being overly optimistic?

Look out for another diss track from “American patriot” Natasha Owens.

Enjoying it so far. I liked Wandavision too, but not as much once the sitcom pretence was done with.

And from the Sci-fi League:
Deep Space 9, Babylon 5. That Minbari goalie was hopeless against that Klingon striker.

Wednesday

Yoko Ono's full name is Yoko Or Nearest Offer.

And I’m sure I can’t be the only person who reacts in that way to any name that sounds far right-ish.

Churchy folks/Christian organisations: In light of the current climate in this country, you might want to rethink the names you give to your events. I just received an email about something called ‘Revive Britain’. I was just about to hit Delete when I saw that it was for a Gospel concert.

What springs to mind whenever someone mentions Reform, UKIP, Restore Britain and/or Advance UK.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

RIP Jesse Jackson.

My birthday present to myself. I do wish Fania were more on the ball with releasing CD box sets; I would’ve loved to have e it as 4 solid CDs and a nice booklet, rather than 60-odd MP3s on my laptop. But hey, at least I’ve got the music…

(It was available on vinyl, but who has 100-odd quid spare?)

I can confirm that Ronseal DOES do exactly what it says on the tin - it IS harmful if swallowed.

Is this still #TOTP, or have I accidentally switched over to a programme about a yoga retreat?

Try doing WHAT, Diddy? #TOTP
