I was going to wait until 10:01 on 01/10 but frankly I'm too excited (and not that excited by numerology).

SEA OTTERS, the 2nd LP by my almost-techno side The Bionics, is out now. Please enjoy and repost to support tiny artists, thank you very much x

Re-watching series one of SLEDGE HAMMER! My god it has as many hits as POLICE SQUAD! with actual film references added on top.

I think if it was a self-portrait the writing would be mirrored?

Yes, I just wanted to say "I hope you win!" but it feels like she has, as the young folk say, got this.

I like to think someone has got a job in the buying dept at Debenhams as part of a long term plan to troll you.

Yesterday we saw the amazing Jasmine from #GBBO at Vauxhall station and I have never been so star struck*. I wanted to fanboy her but we got stuck at the ticket gates.

*At least since seeing Laurence walking near the Barbican.
Jasmine from Bake Off, beaming.

See his work if you can in person as photos don’t do the intricacy of his work justice. A tremendous loss #RIP

The only thing I don't completely love about it is that he doesn't end up with Pamela Brown and her hounds. So glad you enjoyed it and I hope it's helped see your COVID off.

As I was leaving the very nice cafe to take coffee back to the hotel, I fumbled the door and spilled two whole takeaways down my jacket, shirt and trousers. Soaked.
And then the opening bars of Dirty Work by Steely Dan came on.
If you'd put that in a film it would have been a bit on-the-nose.

I hate to be the Bluesky reply guy but spreading the additional cost of Christmas across several paydays helps many people struggling to make ends meet.

I like those two a lot as supporting characters "Broke into the wrong goddam rec room didn't ya?!" But not keen on the idea of them carrying the film.

A totally joyous Anglo-Indian wedding in one of Liverpool's modest Victorian buildings.

Disco highlight for me was everyone singing along to Sit Down, the song Tommy Robinson tried to co-opt at his rally last month. All under the watchful eye of the badass public health pioneer Kitty Wilkinson.
St George's Hall in Liverpool, lit in green and resembling the Parthenon plus roof. The bride and groom lead the first dance as a lot of beautifully sari'd women look good on Statue of Kitty Wilkinson, rolling her sleeve up as though she's about to dispense more than public health.

Ooh yes. Managed to resist those, no such thing as a sequel to perfection.

Yes! It immediately reminded me of my favourite bit in my favourite film Tremors when three of them pole vault from rock to rock in perfect sync.

Same here. You'd think we could defeat them with some kind of low-frequency cannon or something.

I only got to the age where I was attracted into Austin Reed about six months before it closed, infuriating.

Yes, I hadn't thought about the When. So much to think about already.

I went to both, and while the Metropolitan is outwardly more startling, my jaw hit the floor when I went in Giles Gilbert Scott's absolute unit down the road.

The reverb being such that the temptation to pop a crisp packet was almost unbearable.
Exterior Liverpool Cathedral. Interior nave, with a huge brick arch bridge. West window. Three Stained glass panels and Tracey Emin light work below that says "I felt you and I knew that you loved me".

I assumed up until she's sixteen it's in the past. It certainly feels very current cf. Portland.
