A Touch of Cloth. First “series” (all two episodes) scathing genre satire and running gags of a Police Squad! quality. Second and third made me long for the Wayans Brothers

Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police trying to clear the way but the people of the East End got there first.

On a tube full of exhausted people dressed in what can only be described as low-cut table clothes. Is this what Oktoberfest is really like in London?

In a past life I was tangential to green-washing the Scottish salmon market. This poster, however, has a number of inaccuracies that can be so “debunked”. The reality is seriously dodgy, but this is wrong. Are we all just going the way of our lowest level political discourse?

An underground poster from the end factory farming campaign. It concentrates on how farmed salmon is treated to keep them live free. That’s about as specific as this description needs to be in the context of this post

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

Almost all modern pop is so slick and over-produced that it feels inert, my ears automatically reject it. None of it sounds like musicians playing instruments in a room, it all sounds like something plastic extruded from a computer, which it is

“You might not think it’s true” I’m half-way through the first episode and I don’t even believe it’s a real conversation. (I know it’s not meant to be the actual voice.) Seriously this stinks of AI to me. Don’t even think the Jack bits are real. Once the wall fell, who didn’t know Beatles?

Not the usual thing I’d post,but hey. Was having a decent chat on one of the apps with someone. Mentioned tonight that I was seeing Daniel Kitson “Don’t know him. Just checked him out. He’s great” That’s not a real person is it. I’m not just a Kitson-tit?

I’m on a train to Hertford. (Seeing Kitson, natch.) The train stops at all the places I pass by/through when I cycle up the Lee Valley. Feeling guilty about not being on the bicycle

Stopped for a drink after the show at IndigO2. To miss the rush for the tube. Came out of the bar and have met the crowd from Hillary Duff (she made records?) coming out the main arena. Another glass, then….

It’s amazing how well he’s done by just insisting reality doesn’t exist. And will do I’ve heard someone on celeb Apprentice with him recount the team telling him ratings were good but not to mention them. He starts the show “No1 rated….”

I got up early and went to see Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom. (Thought it was weird it only had showings this weekend. Turns out it’s getting a fill release next week.) Finding it tough not to mark it up with Minions & Monsters and Coyote Vs Acme as my three favourite films this year

Found a new favourite eatery; Granny Noodles. Steaming bowls of soupy Szechuan noodles served in what evidently used to be an appalling cocktail bar

Shopfront in London. The window and a disused sign mark it out as “Tunnel Vision, London”. A sign above the door reads “Granny Noodles”. There are some cheap check table cloth covered tables visible through the door indicating a change of use

Actually, there's a definite propulsive - even 'motorik' - element to a lot of Parton's stuff. Check out Down from Dover (original version). It's almost Neu! This might not be too far off the truth

Went to see The Invite last night. Largely enjoyed it. But, they did something in the denouement that I had been thinking "Don't...please don't...please...oh, fuck". Yes, there was a Chekhovian inevitability to it. Spoiled it for me. No ,I don't have a better idea other than "Don't"
