Fans of spelling, help me please. This quote from The Likely Lads, “In the chocolate box of life the top layer's already gone. And someone's pinched the orange creme from the bottom”. Is it creme or cream? It’s for a thing.

I mean, he could just walk around the door.

I’ve long been a huge fan of trailers, and this one, for Ken Russell’s The Devils is one of the best I’ve ever seen. It looked sensational in the cinema last night. youtube.com/watch?v=ImeX...

Went to see this tonight. Part of a regional showing through Japanese Film Club. A surprisingly quiet and still film – lots of locked off camera work. Some terrific performances showing the camaraderie of being in a band. A band that sounds like a band too. Loved it. Wanna form a band?

It’s 2026, AI is on the rise and we still have Courtroom Artists. I find it so weird. Always hated them. What they produce is like state-sanctioned prosopagnosia for self-loathing pastelists. Maybe their days are numbered too.

The prospect of this country gearing up for war is objectively terrifying and reinforces my deep loathing of the fetishisation of World War II. Especially by those empty-headed nostalgists cosplaying some fantasy idea of a cosy home front. Utterly perverse. Anyway, back to the news…

When I was a kid, I accompanied my friend to his Grandma's. At the dinner table she farted and immediately did exactly this.

Had a very lucid and complex dream in which my dead friend and an ex-girlfriend made significant appearances. For those who know me, she is THE ex-girlfriend and I honestly think she'll haunt me forever.

The mystery of a sudden glut of orders for my #Detectorists postcards over the weekend was solved today when I found out Zoe Ball had shared a pic of them on Instagram. What a weird world.

My neighbour has anounced he’s going to pull up all the turf in his garden and replace it with artificial grass. This is clearly the behaviour of a Reform UK voter.

Today I found out a printer has changed the artwork I sent them and has installed wall vinyl and signage that doesn’t work. They won’t change it and I can’t make them because my client appointed them. So, in a way, he’s their client and he’s happy with it all EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN’T WORK. 😡

Oh, dear. I'm listening to Caitlin Moran on Radio 2 lamenting the current discourse on Twitter/X. This is the same Caitlin Moran who used that very platform in 2011 to demand the army be deployed in London to quell the rioting proles.

Here’s me and my old friend, Tim. Born four days after me and 58 years ago today. He took his own life in 2012. It’s been almost impossible to understand how it could’ve happened, but I’m grateful he was around for as long as he was. Look after yourselves, and one another.
My friend Tim with a short beard and glasses, and me on the right wearing so much black that only my head and hand are noticeable.

The story of these antique mirrors on BBC’s Money for Nothing, upcycled by someone who doesn’t know how to paint, is quite the victory for capitalism over art.
Three antique mirrors with oak frames. The same three antique mirrors now painted in acrylics. One has sardines, another has flowers and the small one is of sea waves. The woman who painted the mirrors talking to the previous owner of the mirrors. The subtitle is “And I have got some money for you because they have been sold”. The previous owner of the mirrors with a shocked expression. She says, “Oh, lovely. Thank you.” The reply is, “I’ve got £410 here.”

Exciting birthday trip to see Billy Liar at the cinema at noon today. Except thousands of students are being dropped off and Sheffield United are playing at home. No parking anywhere. So we drove around for 45 minutes and came home. 🎉

A builder bought a house round the corner from me, and has stripped out all character and installed grey carpets everywhere. They’ve also ripped out the front garden and laid tarmac over it. It’s the work of philistines and it makes me sad and angry.
A traditional house with a wooden porch and a small front garden with a brick wall and wrought iron gate.  The same house as picture one, after an unsympathetic renovation. The render is grey with an out-of-place green door. No garden. Just tarmac.
