“You’re not gonna be able to air it.”

“This is an Australian news program. We use that word as an adverb.”

Doing some podding this evening, a little bit wrapping up of the Arsenal game and looking ahead to Liverpool.

Any questions, thoughts #SAFC lot?

Small Prophets is absolute perfection. Totally brilliant. Well done BBC2!
Just what I needed.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

It's also called 'burping' your house. Not sure why but I do it every day. It really improves the air quality indoors.

Prayer for Uninteresting Times   Send me a slow news day, a quiet, subdued day, in which nothing much happens of note, save for the passing of time, the consumption of wine, and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote. Grant me a no news day, a spare-me-your-views day, in which nothing much happens at all, except a few hours together some regional weather, a day we can barely recall. Brian Bilston

This, please.

Utter rubbish!
I watched the series and found it fascinating and @davidolusoga.bsky.social never plays 'the victim'. He always delivers calm, measured facts without histrionics. One of my favourite historians.
