Never agreed with an article so much. Especially the crux: “I don’t mean that you personally like it, I don’t care. You’re allowed for it not to be for you. That’s why comedy as an art form is great.” “It’s A Good Thing that it’s here. Because someone has spent a shitload on a sketch show.”

I hear the naysayers say nay about the Žižkov tower and how it has no connection to a Carla Lane sitcom. So, have at this, sayers who say nay… #sitcom #carlalane #comedy #prague

Lovely moment in Nürnburg, where I nearly found friends, until I said “ich bin englischer”. “Oh, ok. Enjoy your beer” Said with amazing disappointment. I’m also sat on a stage. When do I express my knowledge of German numbers by doing a @realdomjoly.bsky.social style poem? I’m in Prague tomorrow…

Some great stuff on at Reading/Leeds (eg Geese) but I’ve figured out why I’m nonplussed by a lot of it. When there were grassroots venues by the score (Adelphi in Hull, Fibbers in York, Charlotte in Leicester etc), bands like this were commonplace. Now they’re on a festival stage already.

We need to re-energise the arts. Make it more grassroots and authentic. I don’t really care where people honed their craft but I’d love to hear more stories of acts developing a local scene after meeting at school. Broaden the spectrum and influences. Create more variety in music and the arts.

House renovation shows empathising with people who’ve had a kid while renovating a house. Would they sympathise with someone who went to the pub every night and felt shite? Both personal choices that impinge on your ability to renovate a house. No one is forcing you to do either, hopefully.

How must it feel for a thin-skinned egotist to know that 10,000 people actively voted for a guy dressed as a bin? “Hey, I’m twice as popular as a guy dressed as a bin” isn’t quite the positioning of someone who thinks they should be PM. #clacton #farage

Goodnight Sweetheart but set in different eras. I’d like to see Gary Sparrow at the dawn of man. Really accelerating humankind by teaching them how to make fire and all about agriculture and irrigation. Then seeing the effect it’d have on our time. But he’d probably just try to get his end away.

Growing up reading my dad’s Nigel Rees Graffiti books has given me a lifelong enjoyment of toilet scrawls. Until today, I’ve never felt compelled to post a video of one. This one in Newcastle just keeps giving. #graffiti #pubs #satire #comedy #toiletgraffiti #newcastle

Stokes has given so much for the team. While very saddened about what he could still bring, he owes us nothing. I’ve been thinking about the best England players since I reached adulthood. He’s one of only seven greats. Thanks Ben. #benstokes #cricket #ecb

Loved #Hungary for years. The dark shadow of Moscow has hung over it for a decade. At a Budapest wedding last year where Bella Ciao was played, and a break in Pécs, it seemed like the shadow was being blown away. Tonight has shown it. Szép ünnepet! #magyarorszag #fidesz #orban #tisza #politics

It’s not just the US and UK, it’s the crazy shit that’s been going on in France, Germany, Poland, Czechia too; the Russian drones in Lithuania and Romania. It’s all looking quite concerning. The oddest thing is Orban voting against Putin. Strange days indeed

It’s great to see official @libdems.org.uk and @greenparty.org.uk accounts here. While the outlook may seem bleak, there are people and parties looking to hear the voices of the reasonable, and those of us who used to be -centrist+. Whatever our leanings, we thought the respectful were the masses.
