Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Never too late for Nominative Determinism.

The oldest person to win the Chemistry Nobel Prize was John B Goodenough, aged 97.

Kidding. But Still. My New Comedy Album. I poured my vindictive, acrimony towards men, billionaires, nazis and the current crime syndicate into this album. With malice. All for your amusement. Recorded Live in San Francisco just to spite the haters. 🩷🌈🥡 lnk.to/kiddingbutst...

One of my favourite moments at the Christmas shows was Ronnie Golden and Barry Cryer singing PEACE AND QUIET - a rather epic ending to that song m.youtube.com/watch?v=UA6g...

The shadow business minister Bradley Thomas claimed in parliament that new apprenticeships fell 9% from 2023/24 to 2025/26. They actually rose about 11%. Mr Thomas was using English data comparing an incomplete year with a whole one.

Apprenticeship starts have risen—not fallen—under this government – Full Fact

In a debate in the Commons, Conservative shadow minister Bradley Thomas compared data for the latest nine-month period with the whole year of 2023/24, making it sound like apprenticeships had fallen.

First cinema trip since Spinal Tap 2. Coyote vs. Acme is excellent. Recommended. The people around me made so much noise eating their popcorn, which smelled like farts. Their hotdogs, though quieter, smelled like turds. Many barged in late then talked throughout at full volume. Not recommended.

He does look a bit like the 1971 James Taylor though.

Coverage of the County Championship on YouTube is excellent. Simple, clear and often accompanied by BBC local radio commentary.

A detail missing from The Times story… the woman who took the photo shared it to a Facebook group called ‘South east patriots’.

Imagine a left wing street movement shutting down a small town, seeing no arrests then the next day the same group mobilising to another port to cause disturbances? The daily mail would be calling for the military to overthrow the government

From this episode: Thanks to Mary we not only have an unpublished photo of The Beatles, but the background story. Below NEMS/the Official Beatles Fan Club was an adult x-rated book shop and the clientele would occasionally wander upstairs to their offices - assuming they’d find more ‘material’…

Back in the day the promotion/relegation separators only appeared in league tables in the last few games of the season. Meaningless to include them after the first game.
