I was wearing an Angine de Poitrine t-shirt earlier & walked past a guy who had two Dalmatians with him. We both looked at each other with a “the thing I like looks similar to the thing you like” smile and carried on with our days. 10/10, would recommend.

Have just been alerted to the fact that someone “liked” my review of the Hay-On-Wye Website on Google Maps I have no memory of writing this, but enjoyed reading it: maps.app.goo.gl/sRngTB1aHfaW...

This is hilarious. I am one of two people nominated for best host, and the other person is Louis Theroux. It's done by public vote. Vote for me! We can do this!

My new album is coming next week! I’m as excited and scared about this release as I ever have been. Sometimes it feels fuckin wild to have emotions this big about the sonic version of some drawings I did that in another life would have gone up on the fridge. But here we are! ❤️🌱🎧 #musicsky #ukmusic
B of Briz – her hair curly and messy and dirty blonde. She’s wearing a black velvet facemask covering her nose and mouth and ski-style goggles, ornately decorated in jewels and black ferns. Wearing all black, except for the gold flashes in her shoelaces and embroidered jacket. She stands in front of a shadow of her mask.

Just remembered talking to someone who was cat sitting for Stewart Lee and asking him whether cleaning out its litter tray was gross at first, but that it’d stop being gross after a while, then eventually it’d end up being really gross again after a while.

Saw them play Bar Academy in Birmingham on this tour. There was a weirdly long time between them & support, during which the sound engineer played the same 5 songs on a loop. Torture.

I know it's an oft-beaten drum but search is so fucked. Google automatically binned off the first word in my search term. Why? This is with a bunch of settings added to nix AI searches as well. I don't think I've ever typed in a specific search and had anything useful from the algorithm twist
Google search results for "cursive club ifor bach cardiff" that show a bunch of results just for the venue, but that specifies "missing: cursive" and then has a link for "show results with cursive".

Petty to share, but: a guy said one of my clips was "as funny as being kicked up the arse". Fair enough, but I do think it would be funny if he got kicked up the arse.

Apologies in advance, but my brain just puked the words "Dwayne "The Rock" Dibbley" at me and I can't work out how to log into @b3ta.com so I guess that's this website's problem now:
