Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Under pressure from my kids, I’ve caved and put the heating on. Fucking Thatcher. 110
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Funny. I was wondering just yesterday whether or not this little shit was dead yet. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...theguardian.comJeffrey Archer, former Conservative politician and novelist, dies aged 86Publisher says author died peacefully at home ‘between writing sessions’ 020
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I didn’t get a dishwasher until I was 51. It was ace. Proper civilised. Now that dishwasher has died. And part of me has died with it. Back to washing dishes by hand. Like a caveman. Fucking Thatcher. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I might stand a chance of recovering from my Twisted Teens addiction of the fuckers didn’t keep releasing a new LP every 20 minutes. 001
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Sorry to hear Bonnie Greer has gone. Did a radio thing with her about a decade ago and she was ace. Enormously friendly and engaging with a knowing wit. Top lass. 000
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I hope someone discovers an ancient law that says the whole village now has to fuck off abroad. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukPiddington in Oxfordshire votes to leave UK over asylum plansPiddington residents vote over proposals to house up to 1,256 male asylum seekers nearby. 041
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I’m not fussed about going to see the Bayeux Tapestry as I already have a far superior Monty Python version adorning my kitchen wall. It farts in the general direction of the British Museum. 151
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Out little mirabelle plum tree had about 60 fruits on it when we went on holiday. Just not quite ripe enough to eat. On return, I find only a handful remain. But our 2YO dwarf apple has unexpectedly borne its first. Compensation plenty. 000
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Hot as buggery in Florence today. Over 40 degrees and mean with it. We made do by going in lots of buildings made mainly of marble and taking (very) regular hydration breaks. 230
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Ate this today in Firenze. Not bad burrata, but the prosciutto was the best I’ve ever had. Sensational pork product. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Balcony breakfast view, Thursday. It finally rained last night. 080
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Been making panzanella - Tuscan bread salad - for decades now. First time I’ve ever made it in actual Tuscany. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 14/07/2026I’m cooking pasta. This is the view from the kitchen window. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Done. Work sorted, house cleaned, bags packed. Three weeks in the hills of Tuscany awaits this weary soldier. The longest holiday I’ve ever had and hopefully the best. Arrive-fucking-derci. 050
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Adios Ian Kennedy Martin. Thought of The Italian Job and then The Sweeney. Good film, genius telly, best theme tune (opening and closing versions) ever. You’d be happy if that had been your lot. 111
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Watching Logan’s Run. Peter Ustinov was two years younger than me when he played ‘Old Man.’ Depressingly, were the dead spit of each other. 110
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I can tell you no more about this band than this is a genuinely ace album. My current top tip. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Just when you thought I couldn’t get any more impressive, it turns out I have the same lamp as Riz Ahmed. 110
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 18/06/2026The only downside with receiving this beautifully packaged Death By Milkfloat CD is that I really don’t want to ruin it by opening it. I might not. I may just leave it pristine. 030
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Film fans should seek out Dead Man’s Wire. What indie films should be and Gus Van Sant’s best since Drugstore Cowboy, which was a loooong time ago. 000
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Took the kids to see Madness in Halifax last night. Ace time had by all. They* put a picture of Hockney on the big screen at the end of It Must Be Love, which was a lovely touch. *The band, not my kids. 030
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Sorry to hear Hockney’s gone but 88’s a great knock considering how many tabs he smoked. I had a good chat with him once in York and he signed a postcard for me. He was unexpectedly lovely. His work made me look at my home county in an entirely new way and appreciate it more. An amazing talent. 0101
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 10/06/2026You know who’d have been a great Doctor Who? Peter Falk. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Great BFI tribute to Moviedrome, which did more than anything to inspire my interest in films. Why it’s not still on telly, I’ll never understand. youtu.be/TuA_m2llcRQ?...youtu.beMoviedrome: Welcome to the Cult | A BFI Player filmYouTube video by BFI 051
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Clarkson doesn’t grow the apples, brew the cider, bottle it or distribute it. He simply has a label slapped on featuring his name. It’s just corporate piss. Proper cider needs protecting. 031
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Nationalising British Steel is a start, but I want EVERY-FUCKING-THING nationalised. 120
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I’m sick of seeing that mimsy little shit Chris Mason on the news. He takes far too much pleasure in parliamentary machination than is healthy for our democracy. Anyone that pleased to be doing the job he’s got shouldn’t be allowed to do it. 3206
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 24/04/2026My pee smells of popcorn. I can’t remember if that means I’m going to have a stroke, my blood sugar is too high or I’ve got to stop licking cinema seats. 000
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 17/04/2026The only time I ever met Andy Kershaw, he was carrying (literally carrying) a completely wankered John Peel around Glastonbury. He was pretty pissed himself yet they were apparently both presenting the BBC TV coverage later that day. Impressive constitutions, both. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 17/03/2026I see there’s a new Red Hot Chilli Peppers documentary on Netflix. So I’ve cancelled my subscription and, just to be on the safe side, buried my iPad in a large, lead-filled hole in my garden. 0196
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Absolute bollocks. ‘Would you like a straight pier, a square pier, a t-shaped pier or no pier’ is the most pathetic public consultation ever. This patronising shite makes it clear @hullcitycouncil.bsky.social have no intention whatsoever of replacing the pier. yoursay.hull.gov.uk/victoria-pie...yoursay.hull.gov.ukVictoria Pier replacementResidents, businesses, and stakeholders are invited to help shape the future of Hull’s much-loved Victoria Pier.

Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 12/03/2026Images that should be on our 5, 10, 20 and 50 pound notes: 021
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Am I understanding the situation correctly? Because a useless gobshite sociopath American wants to distract from his kiddy fiddling, my household bills are about to go through the fucking roof? We should just decide, as a species, to fucking not. 051
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Delighted to discover that my kids don’t know who Noel Edmonds is. I envy them. But then again, perhaps he should be taught in schools. As a sort of warning from history. 130
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Just seen a butterfly in my garden. Optimistic little fucker. 020
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 21/02/2026‘Thank god the queen didn’t live to see any of this.’ Like she didn’t fucking know. The royal family are surrounded day and night by security forces. They report what they see. The reports will get kicked upstairs is anything untoward happens. She fucking knew. She helped hide it. 161
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 19/02/2026If Charles pays us all £12 million, maybe we’d drop the charges against Andrew. Worth a try. 010
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 19/02/2026This may be the closest we’ve ever been in my lifetime to hoying the monarchy. It won’t happen, but it’s nice to enjoy a little bit of belief that it might do one day. 031
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Monarchists believe the royal family derive their authority (their right to rule over us) directly from god. Presumably their right to go begging to paedos (while vacuuming up our taxes) also derives directly from god. 002
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Chris Mason is just an overexcited little shit. No-one should get that much joy from the piddling everyday machinations of politics. Needs to unclog his head from the fucking lavvy. 040
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Message from insurers as I go to cancel my policy: ‘Please give us a call to see if there’s any way we can retain your customer.’ Well, it’s quite simple. Don’t increase the cost of my policy by nearly £300 when fuck all has changed and you just want to fucking rob me. 050
Dave Lee @davelee1968.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Because if they stood in front of them, they’d get shot in the fucking face. 051
