I love ska punk; I love BBC3: I love surrealist humour.

What I really want to hear is…

Mighty Mighty Boosh Tones

As an under-50 who qualifies for the flu jab, I had my vaccine today and, less than 20mins later, was referencing the early-70s Tufty Club because a squirrel ran across the road in front of our car.

Wake up, sheeple…

Perhaps having Tory stooges wasn’t the right direction for the #BBC

Think on, Kemi

Ah, this takes me back to my flat, Club Bongo. Or that one time we tried to do bouji and called it Nightspot Quaff.

Just back after leaving the country last Wednesday morning.

So glad I was away from some of the country’s bleakest moments this century.

Trump’s ‘historic’ second state visit and Michael McIntyre’s 25th anniversary celebrations

It’s not just the US and UK, it’s the crazy shit that’s been going on in France, Germany, Poland, Czechia too; the Russian drones in Lithuania and Romania.

It’s all looking quite concerning.

The oddest thing is Orban voting against Putin.

Strange days indeed

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

It’s great to see official @libdems.org.uk and @greenparty.org.uk accounts here.

While the outlook may seem bleak, there are people and parties looking to hear the voices of the reasonable, and those of us who used to be -centrist+. Whatever our leanings, we thought the respectful were the masses.

Having James do Destiny Calling on the same edition as Spice Girls (and with the X-Factor shite to come) reminds me how great and prescient that song was

As I kid, I used to be incredibly longsighted.

That’s why my dad took me train spotting in Manchester sidings.

Go on, make a better joke about train spotting in Manchester that opticians appreciate

What were you doing today?

Me? I was enjoying a get together with friends and watching the Lionesses in their 3rd consecutive final retaining their status as Euros champions. I was pleased to be English.

Surely everyone who claims to be more patriotic than I was doing something similar.

Oh…

I came from rural E Yorks to Leicester. Made friends w a Sikh guy called Hari.
The loveliest guy, he joined us on every night out - to rock, punk clubs, everything

At legendary punk club, the Charlotte, they played Brimful of Asha, and he went beautifully nuts. (1/2)

Woke up with the pejorative phrase “Er gwaetha pob Dic Siôn Dafydd” in my head.

Since 5pm, my inner monologue has been singing the rest of #YmaoHyd.

I’m English and want the #lionesses to win, but my Welsh heritage is strong.

Gutted there’s no way for us both to be successful.
