So they met their selection criteria?

I trust Reform to conduct a thorough and wide ranging investigation and find themselves innocent on all counts.

The job search continues. I thought my book about the history of the Black Death would interest my publishers, but they accused me of plaguerism.

Badenoch expected to announce plan to tax homeless people, drag-acts & squirrels to fund free silk underwear for anyone earning over £500,00 a year.

The current leader of the Conservative Party bravely walking downstairs, something which if considered very brave considering the heightened reports of squirrel activity in the UK which is now at "Level Walnut" for the first time since records began.

Appreciate there was the odd minor inconvenience when the Edinburgh tram was built so great to see it being so well used this sunny morn.

“Designed by two people who never met.” And while I’m on, I’m petitioning for “premium segment” to replace “Charlie” in the expression “He/she is a right Charlie.”

I had the pleasure of teaching at the University of Nottingham Department of Music for a few years. It was a well organised and beautiful facility that gave so much to its students, the university and the wider community. The department is being axed - at a time when we need artists more than ever.

(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)- the last two mins of this classic Stranglers track from Rattus’s gig in Guildford at the weekend. Featuring our guest Pete Cook on sax and a stonking JJ Burnel bass line played by Glenn Birks. Our final two gigs of the year are Norwich on Nov 13th and Sheffield Nov 14th.

And everybody forgets the Morden Block they failed to use against me when I won with Oldham Mumps, the last station on the line before Morden was built. An old move but still (then) allowed by the rules according to Humph. Sadly the rules mean OM is no longer valid.

Recommend this pub in Alderwasley #Derbyshire. I’ll let you work out the name of the pub…
