I’m a quizzer, not a fighter.
It’s a shame no-one told Gillian Anderson that the truth is out there.
Turns out The Salt Path is a work of fiction which would have been fine but the level of deceit in this one is quite the eyeopener. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I have been buying Now That’s What I Call Music CDs from charity shops. They’ve done about three a year for the last few decades, forty or so tracks on each. Let me tell you; there aren’t 120 tracks in a year worth listening to. Not a ‘pop music these days’ thing. Always been the case.

“TG Jones” sounds like something a ‘brand consultant’ has thought up in return for a seven figure sum.

I have been buying Now compilations from charity shops. Three a year for forty+ years, 40+ tracks on each. Revelation: there aren’t 120 chart tracks per year worth listening to. This is not a gripe against ‘music these days’ - it’s always been the case.

Tonight’s #TOTP was brought to you by Professor Brian Cox, the presenter of Desert Island Discs and someone who wrote Toxic after splitting up with the Supervet.

I was in Harrogate this morning. People were leaving a church, I thought to myself ‘That looks like a funeral’. One of the mourners looked familiar.
It was the Prime Minister.
His brother’s funeral.
I’m glad I wasn’t uncouth enough to take a picture.

Second night running, Claudia has called on Charlotte’s vote last, and second night running she’s thrown a fellow traitor under the bus. I wonder if the faithful’s will catch on. #Traitors

Funny how these ‘free speech warriors’ get lawyered up as soon as you say something they don’t like, innit.

As a lawyer, I’m sure Keir Starmer will be only too happy to educate Liz Truss about the case of Pressdram v Arkell.

This, by the way, is what I got for Beating the Brains (narrowly) on Radio 4 yesterday afternoon, and now on Sounds.

Important to stress that Urfan Sharif hasn’t been sentenced to forty years in prison, but life. Even if he is ever allowed out (and he’ll be at least 83 by then), it will be under licence, supervised and subject to recall at any time, for any reason.
