jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Along with The Great Curve, my favourite Talking Heads. Adrian Belew's playing is wonderous. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Wouldn't be at all surprised if Guides/Scouts can get self-esteem badges nowadays. Still, I recently had a sobering experience watching Mastermind. I scored one point on Neil Young. The shame... 020
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Tesco Finest Belgian 70% Dark Hot Chocolate Flakes. Or, for a treat, Knoops 72% Extra dark hot chocolate flakes, or their 65% Dark hot chocolate flakes (both from Ocado, Selfridges, Harrods, Amazon). 000
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I like to think that MAGA parents tell their kids that POS is short for POTUS. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Neil, there will be nobody here if the people who are here leave. Are you chucking social media, or will you be readable elsewhere? 110
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 25/09/2026'Neil Gray said the Scottish Government supported “fair work principles”.' But as for fair work practices... 000

jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 22/09/2026@ailsahenderson.bsky.social Beautiful jacket you were wearing on Reporting Scotland tonight. 000
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Is your interview readable anywhere? I'd no idea he'd written a novel. Then again, I'd no idea until a few hours ago that he'd released some records. Don't know if I'll be checking them out. Robert Mitchum is one of my favourite actors, but I still haven't heard him sing. So much music out there... 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Loved him in NCIS. Didn't know he was a Trumper, but then he did move to the US because Britain had become 'too left-wing'. James Woods's political views don't spoil my pleasure in watching him, and I expect when I get round to watch re-runs of NCIS, I'll enjoy them. Won't be watching Home Alone 2. 110
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I could be wrong, Jay, but I'd take it as read that she meant since WWII. I haven't seen/heard the programme. Maybe she meant uncharted for AfD? She's a serious journalist. 000
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 19/09/2026John McAndrew was about as convincing about Newsnight as were Deborah Turness et al last year about the reasons for axing Hardtalk, Click, etc. Waste of time interviewing them. 001
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Looking forward to reading your book, Naomi, and pleased to see you supporting independent booksellers. But an Amazon company has done the audiobook? 030
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I've loved it for 50+ years, it's a classic. But I love this version even more: youtu.be/azFM1gyDbpk?...youtu.beThe World: Mayssa Karaa sings her version of "White Rabbit"YouTube video by PRX 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Big jazz fan, but I hadn't even heard of Botti. That's gorgeous. 110
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Hadn't heard of the writer, or the director, or the narrator (a voice that's up there with Orson Welles). Glad you posted that. 000
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 04/09/2026One does not preclude the other: it's an act of sexual violence. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Can't remember the last time I heard them on the radio, when you hear so much stuff from that era. They made some fine records. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Is there anything in the recent past that has led you to think they're interested in/capable of learning from experience? 110
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I taught for a year in her high school. She was never mentioned. Much later I learned she was removed from the alumnae roll for organising nude events in NYC. I didn't care for much of what I've seen of her art, but Infinity Mirror Rooms at Tate Modern must have been very interesting to experience. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I don't dance, but if I had to... youtu.be/3N5qQrGSuJ4?...youtu.beThe Great Curve (2005 Remaster)YouTube video by Talking Heads - Topic 000
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Along with Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side was my favourite. 000
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Without Tina Weymouth Talking Heads would have been just another band? I don't think so, but then I don't think you believe it either. I love her playing, I'm sorry I only saw them once (1978), will always be listening, but who knows who'd've taken her place, what their contribution would've been. 220
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Don't see justification for lumping them together, Neil. 'Sex realists' as I understand it, claim sex is real & can't change. The only 'race realist' I'm aware of claims black people are inferior to whites. What's the connection? 100
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Top value for money, rather than really cheap: (Indian) Gunpowder Spitalfields, 11 White's Row, Spitalfields, & Café Spice Namasté, 1-2 Lower Dock Walk, Royal Albert Wharf; (Italian) Padella, 6 Southwark Street, Borough Market; (Korean) ssam ssam, 149 Merton Road, Merton. Bon appétit! 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 08/08/2026When Janey Godley used that word about Trump, women objected saying he had neither the depth nor the warmth. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Hadn't heard that, it's lovely. He is underappreciated. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Very moved by that, grateful that you wrote it. 010
jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Pen or pencil? I remember being shocked at a friend objecting to me writing (in pen) a recipe suggestion in a food book (Nigella Lawson's How To Eat). It's a 'working' book. In a novel/play/book of poetry/non-fiction, it's in pencil. 000

jimtague.bsky.social @jimtague.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I'd known and loved The Band's music for decades before reading Greil Marcus or Barney Hoskyns, but listening to it after reading them made for a more interesting experience. Same next time I listen to Lodger. Angus MacKinnon, Richard Cook, Vivien Goldman, Brian Morton, Ian Penman made me listen. 000
