I need to get back to my vinyl. Got one of those little "now playing" blocks for last birthday but haven't had it out yet. Moving is so stressful and exhausting, but usually worth it. Happy days to you all in Rebellato Hall.

I have lived in Canada for most of my adult life but I still use the expression "couldn't change a plug" to describe someone lacking in household skills. It gets funny looks.

The whole of Welcome to the Pleasuredome is so evocative of its time. I can almost smell my brand new secondary school uniform when I hear Two Tribes, the first bars of which also bring to mind the late Chris Serle's BBC archive programme Windmill, Sundays on BBC2 in the mid-80s. Essential viewing!

Have had the house to myself this weekend; dog and I sat down to listen yesterday evening. A joy. Waiting for my musician son (who was performing last night and away recording today) to be home/awake long enough to hear it. ❤️

The question would either catch you in a recursive occlusion, or (harnessing the power of "if"), would make you the inventor of the counterfactual.

My Ohrwurm now is this to the melody (Dusty S) and Sprechstimme (Neil T) of "What Have I Done To Deserve This". I may have been giving voice to it over the photocopier. Thank God it is 9.30 pm and my Flemish department head has gone home.

I have been calling the post sinister (in all that he leaves, deliberately, to be inferred) but I think the mot juste is "frightening", yes.

Just reading this perplexing news now. What a spectacular own goal by the BBC, delivering such a squalid, unworthy ultimatum to a figure who entertains, educates, and edifies. What an example to lose. Of course he resigned...but oh, alack the day.

What a powerfully irresistible thought. I miss the pre-teen school run so much (Beatles, bickering, bum jokes...and sometimes brain fodder).

Ours are 15 and 18 (and far cooler than I was at their age); it delights us that we can still get them around the telly for the Christmas traditions they have known since childhood. May we never become too busy and too grown-up to enjoy our buttered eggs.

A lovely interview with Sam West, part of GB's podcast series about formative experiences and memories. Their conversation, recorded between Timothy West's memorial service and Prunella Scales's death last week, is touching, thought-provoking and thoroughly uplifting. shows.acast.com/rosebud-with...

During a hot summer holiday it was much more bearable. Families could purchase a pass from the bursar. It could even become a bit crowded on a sweltering day; I remember my mum diving to the bottom of the deep end and surfacing with the Head of the Science Sixth (Terry W) sitting on her head.

Good God. Sometimes I miss my old Nokia. Also my Mac Classic II, with its occasional recalcitrance and its big plastic Y-fronts. Most salacious communication I ever got from that was a "Happy Mac" icon (phwoar).

Recommend Jonathan Daube's _Educator Most Extraordinary: The Life and Achievements of Harry Rée_ and _A Schoolmaster's War_, writings by HR edited by his son Jonathan (regular LRB contributor). Both part of my small expat library of Watford/WBGS-related volumes! An extraordinary man indeed.

Trying to work out who that would have been. Any chance of initials? ;) I had Dr Diane Kermack and the late, great Dave Evans. Biology was the best of the three for me, too. Great teachers.

I agree with you, but I've seen it done. It's a thing. At the other end of the madness scale are those who wash, rinse clean, and pop the now-spotless plate straight into the dishwasher.

Where false professions of Christianity by the likes of Trump, Vance, Kirk, Huckabee and White-Cain are concerned, the writings, witness and example of Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer (arrested by the Nazis in 1943 and murdered in 1945) might and should be brought back into strong light and focus.

Jeremy Worth @jerworth.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

No argument about disagreement, censorship and attack, Mr #Poilievre. But if you think it reasonable to characterise Charlie Kirk's bigoted positions as "a contrary point of view", and if you think the USA is currently a healthy democracy, you need to reexamine your senses of reality and morality.

But don’t say we have to grieve Charlie Kirk. No one HAS to do that. Hate that he was murdered, sure. Condemn entirely the violent direction of US political discourse, yes. But grieve that guy? THAT guy? No way.

Charlie Kirk should not have been murdered. Charlie Kirk was a dangerous and repulsive bigot. Both of these things can be true.

I know it's all too easy to point out hypocrisy but are we seeing a great outbreak of Republican 'thoughts and prayers'? Are they urging people not to rush to politicise this? Are they insisting that the shooter was mentally ill rather than ideological?

This is the Britain I recognise. Not a country where courageous migrants are shouted at by home-grown fools and desperate inadequates from outside hotels. Farage and every single immigrant-scapegoater can go to hell. I want to be as proud to be British as I once was. (Thanks, Dan, for the link).

So atmospheric. Logopolis has many of my favourite Adric moments, with him questioning the Doctor and reacting to revelation after revelation as that sepulchral atmosphere builds in the first two eps. You took this 8 yo right along with you. As for Castrovalva: "Me! I'm the trap..." Marvellous.

So sorry to learn that CHB has departed, @andr3wsmith.bsky.social. Like you, he responded so kindly and thoughtfully to tweets years ago expressing gratitude for the seeds sown in an 8yo mind by Season 18. Your mutual admiration and affection were evident in interviews and DVD extras. Condolences.
