Durham University students of a certain vintage need only apply…..

2 weeks?

That’s BBC News for you. Remember the People’s Vote March that got ignored until Humphreys called it something like ‘a few thousand people walking through London complaining about Brexit’ on the Today programme? We all suspect who they work for…..

Fabulous! New black passport giving me free movement to the Isle of Wight, the Scillies (I think), and Lundy. Thank you Brexit Patriots! I’m off on my travels! 🙏☺️

If you do a follow up, cite my recent chapter on him, durée, and the creative pause! You know you want to ☺️😉

The sound of Harley’s Vespa!

Cathedral Heat ranks among my all time faves, Kristin 🙏❤️

Interviewing Farage, reprinting Tice letters, or possibly asking Andrea for a top tip on climate change?

Yes.

Feargal knows. We all know. Yet nothing changes. Nothing is done. It’s beyond scandal.

Give it time….

This is my fear, quite frankly. Reform extremism has taken hold in the TikTok generation sadly.

Hopefully in a record shop signing your new album 😉

And Millais was there to capture it!

For someone who has clearly lost her marbles, she has a right to espouse views on how important it is not to lose yet more. 👍🏻

David Kaff, Spinal Tap keyboardist and musician, dies aged 79 The British musician and actor, who played Viv Savage in Rob Reiner’s mockumentary, died in his sleep

I said ‘have a good time … all the time’ to myself in the garden on Sunday as a way of cheering myself up after a rubbish day. It’s probably my favourite line in the movie. RIP the great Viv Savage/David Kaff #SpinalTap www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ju...

Resistance was harder than milkshakes back then.

It’s taken a while to get around to this, but it’s absolutely outstanding. The Cure, man. They keep doing it! #TheCure

Good.

Donald Trump announces 30% tariffs on goods from the EU and Mexico The president made the announcement on social media, even as the EU was hoping for a trade agreement

Obviously felt he hadn’t shorted the world markets for a while…..

Yep, it’s a bit disconcerting but then so is quite a bit of the ceremony! Happy days!

I have to agree, quite frankly 🤷🏻‍♂️

Made me think of this for some reason ☺️

Next sofa! Yeah ☺️

Sounds like my morning, too, Sam. Onwards!

You’ve just noticed?! However, thank you for saying what many of us have been saying for years. Slow corrosion will yield diabolical destruction in the end unless this decline in journalistic standards is halted.

I remember thinking World’s Apart being a good record when it came out. I’d have to hear it again to confirm whether age has mellowed me, but in ‘85 on a Dansette thing it sounded somewhat immediate!

Bye then.

Go for it, man. Wish I could be there.

Read about Diogo Jota about 25 minutes ago. It’s taken me that amount of time to convince myself I’m not dreaming and to absorb the shock. Oh man, a complete tragedy: for his family, his club, his teammates, Portugal, and football in general. #Jota #RIP #LFC
