We're going to see an Agatha Christie play at Skipton Little Theatre after hearing @alexbcann.bsky.social mention it on @www.yourilkley.com. The theatre's website wants to know where we heard of it … but doesn't allow radio as an answer:
Screenshot from the Skipton Little Theatre website on the question “How did you hear about this event?”, with a fixed drop-down list of options: Ents24.com, event flyer, event poster, event programme, Facebook, mailshot, press advert, press article, promotional email, search engine, Twitter, website, and word of mouth

My advice to the permanently outraged: Chill out. Find a hobby. Enjoy life. Make some friends. Use what time you have usefully. It doesn't go on forever.

Wish the roads were always as quiet as they were this morning at 6am! I blame @felicityhannah.bsky.social for the fact I am still thinking about luxurious Easter chocolate, almost an hour after the R4 Today money slot on the radio..

This is wonderful. Dick Van Dyke is 99 on Friday, and Coldplay pay tribute to him! We should do more of this. Show people how much they are loved whilst they are around to appreciate it. I shed a little tear, I must admit! Ace. youtu.be/o4OlL0OpbW8?...

Just when you think Michael is a sweet old man, he reminds you he’s massively right-wing. Despite previously complaining about the lack of opportunities in the arts for working-class people, he consistently votes for those who perpetuate that problem.

Nigel Farage attends the farmers protest whose lives he made worse with his Brexit lies. Of course he takes his 3 bodyguards that you pay for, 2 behind him and one hidden behind the guy on left's head. He just loves wasting everyone's money.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

Imagine sitting down for a drink or a meal with people whose company you enjoyed & being told by management that half of the table would be now occupied by people who just wanted to shout ‘C**t’ at you. The exodus has absolutely nothing to do with ‘opinions’. Media reports must reflect this more.
