My 33 1/3 book on George Michael’s Faith came out in the UK three years ago today. Dominated the headlines for – ooh – a good 12 hours until the Queen went and died. Anyway, still available. #GeorgeMichael #Faith www.bloomsbury.com/uk/george-mi...

It is genuinely Finnegans Wake and the second sentence is more than a page long. So, no.
Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.
"It pulls at my clothing and sometimes I feel I've got to pick it up, cuddle and kiss it."

Last time I was at the San Siro I had no kids, dark hair, a calf injury and no beer until we got some from an ice cream van at about 1am. More importantly, we won 5-1 so I'm not worried about this.

Reasonable or not, I doubt a tribute band would headline Glastonbury.
Clicked on this thinking: "Oh God, what does he hate about the politics of Glastonbury? This isn't going to be good, is it?" then walked away thinking "Oh. That's not unreasonable, actually".

Dartford's MP @jimdickson.bsky.social was at parkrun this morning and is now propping up the bar at half-time at Dartford v Aveley. I'd like to call it good politics but I think he's just following me around.

Macca and Linda going full god-you're-so-EMBARRASSING at Stella's first big show. In the sweetest way, natch.
In a feat of new year generosity, I am giving away a signed copy of my book, Off The Ground: Paul McCartney In The 1990s. Quote-post this with something you like about Macca’s 90s activities. Winner chosen from those that most surprise or amuse me. You have a week or so. @reaktionbooks.bsky.social
