The newsreader on the BBC News channel chose a cravat for today’s attire and I think it’s what Dolly would have wanted. Jaunty.

If you didn't know about this, this was one of many things Dolly Parton did to make the world a better place.

So sad at this news, just thought about all the children that benefitted from her literacy programme. What an unbelievable woman, we were lucky to have her.

Somewhat fittingly, I was at a James gig that night - I only found out he'd died when Tim Booth announced it.

Coming back from 41 degrees in Italy and then immediately going to an outdoor gig in Rochdale was certainly a decision.

In a world where so many people are absolutely awful, live your life so you earn an obituary like this one.

Just gave the Uber driver in Rome a 5 euro tip because he played me Sal da Vinci on request.

Having EU citizenship is bloody marvellous. Off the plane, out of the terminal and off to Roma Termini in under 5 minutes.

I'm not saying there's a Burnham effect, but even my mum didn't vote Lib Dem because Andy is now PM, so she was happy to vote Labour.

Very sad to hear of Glen Hansard's sudden passing. He was a prolific and original artist, who sang with a rare passion. Exhibit A: A rousing "Fairytale of New York" at Shane MacGowan's funeral

Absolutely shocked about Glen Hansard, what a talent, gone far too soon.

I see the right wing press have now pivoted to 'Burnham's Manchester is really DANGEROUS' hope I don't get stabbed walking down to get some duck eggs from the neighbours' egg shed.
