I had this bit about Jeffrey Archer from the 1995 HIGNFY video memorised for whenever I needed a handy fact about him.

Forgive me for feeling emotional seeing stuff like this. As soon as I'd finished this book my ex-publisher collapsed, took my earnings and I had no idea whether it would even come out. I got the impression everyone who read it before it was published hated it. All I knew was I felt it was my best...

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

Andy Burnham announces end of triple-lock on the state pension from 2030. It will be replaced by double-lock, slower growth in state pension. Full state pension is already less than 50%of the minimum wage. Poverty awaits future retirees. £500bn of taxes not collected by HMRC since 2010.

"Its the wrong place to get money from.. there are other places.. the richest 50 families are worth £500bn. Why are we talking about pensioners £12,500 & not talking about a wealth tax. Why is that?" @unitesharon.bsky.social says scrapping the triple lock would be the wrong thing to do

Betty and John are just wondering why you haven't booked your tickets for "and I looked at the sky" yet... www.omnibus-clapham.org/whatson/and-...

An elderly man and woman gaze into the camera, with a look that might be bemused disappointment because you, YOU, the viewer, haven't yet booked your tickets for the play "and I looked at the sky"

May I tempt you to come and see this gorgeous play that I'm in? A two hander (me, and the wonderful Mary Tillet) called "and I looked at the sky", by Tim Stubbs Hughes. What happens when the work that gave a life meaning begins to fall silent? www.youtube.com/watch?v=POhc...

I missed the 80th anniversary of his majesty’s birth yesterday

The couple in bed meme where the woman is thinking “he’s probably thinking about…” In this case, she’s thinking “He's probably thinking about riding his bicycle”, and someone has photoshopped the face of Freddie Mercury onto the man. Fred is giving the camera a saucy look, as was his wont

It always feels absurdly grown-up, buying a rail season ticket when I have actual regular work. You know, like I'm some sort of normal person. As opposed to the 66-year-old child I actually am.

Ooh not seen that before. A big ol’ rearranging of who sits where on the plane, because you can’t have a child sitting in the emergency exit seat. Very polite, but clear that we were milliseconds from a grumpy “well I don’t see why” conversation 🤣

I’m here to tell you this is an absolutely wonderful book, in so many unexpected (and unexpectable) ways that I’m not going to list them. Just trust me; it’s perfect storytelling. “Everything Will Swallow You” by Tom Cox (@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social)

The front cover of “Everything Will Swallow You” by Tom Cox. High cliffs, a cottage, the sea, a figure on the beach.

Wrote a line in my diary about making the most of a thing I'd dreamt about. However, as a non-touch typist, I wasn't looking at the screen, and didn't spot the capslock was on. I actually typed, "I SHOULD CAPITALISE ON THIS" At 6:30, before adequate coffee, this seems the funniest thing ever.

Small pleasures. This was a cutting I took from my Mum's oleander... which was in turn, a cutting from her sister's oleander, which was a cutting from one they had in their garden in Lewisham when they were kids. No idea where that one came from. It smells like Play-Doh 🥰

A picture of a vivid pink oleander shrub in a garden. There is a small red fuschia in a pot to the left, and a bright yellow antirrhinum is visible in the left background, though that's a bit blurry.

There are moments I think I vaguely remember from The Underwater Menace, but the first scene I can remember with any clarity (and reconstructing it with my friends in the school playground afterwards) would be Daleks acquiring "the Human Factor" in "The Evil of the Daleks". I would have been 7.
