So old that the floor has become a foreign country. Eternal optimist, one day we will discover a cure for religion. Politically on an arc between Karl and Groucho.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

A short poem, dedicated to all users of mobility scooters.
Fear not!
For the Prophet of the Pavement is nigh!
Verily I shall come amongst thee.
In these days I shall come to pass.
Until curbed by kerbs,
I shall come to an ‘alt.

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted.
Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.

Dear BBC, I read your report on a new battery facility at Coalburn. Very interesting. A shame that your reporter is scientifically illiterate. The ENERGY stored in batteries is measured in kWh, not kW.

Err, I realise I have been wrong for ever. I foolishly thought that the phrase was ‘sucking up to’ but clearly it is actually ‘zucking up to’. Thank you Mark!

Oh my, just had the emergency weather warning on my phone. Come to sunny Devon they said, blue skies and happy families playing on the beaches.
I wouldn't mind so much but two weeks ago we had lots of solar panels put up on our roof. Fingers crossed they are still there by tomorrow evening.

One for gastro bluesky. Why have anchovies lost their flavour? The silvery ones these days seem very bland compared to the darker ones from the tins of old. Talking of old, I am so its possible that anchovies remain the same and its me that has changed.

Err, just wondering if anyone else feels guilty about still resorting to twitter. Trying to break free but it is a strong addiction.

Hmm, I do like this idea of people curating helpful lists of people to follow on here. Very civilised and mitigates some of the disruption of leaving t'other place.
