Do shout if I’m not following you back and you’d like me to. I mean, I’m nobody special at all, but I’m struggling to keep up with this week’s upweight….

It’s okay thanks, seems to have settled for now. A few other Threads users told me the same had happened to them. I just followed my nose on Instagram to get reinstated. Three times 😩

Instagram , Twitter and Threads accounts all suspended…. I have no idea why! Anyone else come across this? Should I find it sinister? Is someone out to get me?!

I’ve just come home from a three day stay in hospital. You guessed it — happening on my ward, someone in their 50s. I resent being put in the position, but I had to be ‘that’ person and say something. They obliged and switched to their AirPods, whilst trying to stare me out. I just grinned.

It’s not been the same since Richard Coles left. I think I now understand why he did…!

Remember when Jimmy Sav*le was on Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes as Ziggy Stardust?

That’s a sore point.

I regret it now, it’s too good a word for him. Should have used fud.

Trumpty admits he’s finding it difficult to deal with Ukraine. Like we hadn’t noticed. Stupid orange quim.

If any good comes out of this, I think Trump has just given a big boost to Britain’s chances of rejoining the EU, and fucked the Tories & Reform up the clacker with a pineapple.

Funny how it goes all peaks and troughs here. From Piccadilly Circus to a tumbleweed ghost town within a heartbeat.

Happy Idealised Version of Reality day, everyone. #Hallmark

Glad you’re stepping in and coming to Buntingford! One hell of a town —so good they named it once, etc. I’m just about to update the poster…

Got to love Amazon tracking. Always useful to know that your order has been but one stop away. For the last three hours.

Dolls and clowns are NOT scary. Grow up.

Every now and then I remember that my oh-so straight and conservative dad was rather fond of Sham 69. And it’s easy to see why. Great songs, played brilliantly and one of the all time greatest frontmen. Blimey, I’ve just realised I’m rather fond, too! #Sham69 #JimmyPursey

One of those artists that you know is revered, lauded, loved, respected and so on, yet it still feels like he’s never had the recognition he deserves. “I Read a Lot” is a favourite of mine.

Wot, no Cosey?! Seems an unfortunate oversight.

Andrew Brechin @andrewbrechin.bsky.social · Feb 8

What, per person?
