Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Under normal circumstances I'm quite proud of being from where I am. However, there are some significant exceptions to this rule. This would, definitely, be one of them. 120
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Also a distinctly Italiano flavour to today's HMV purchases. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Another EPIC sesh at the Amaysia with Young Malcolm. Happy to report thatcit was, indeed, geet lush and that. 011
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Another luncheonette at The Keel Row with That There Young Malcolm. And lo, twas geet lush in my sight. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Not sure who's bright idea it was to stick Keef in goal. He'd be an effing liability, what with all the heroin and everything. Surely Charlie's the obvious keeper here better positional sense. Can't argue with the choice of The Big Lad up front, though. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Editing begins today and will continue for approximately the next six weeks before delivery at the end of October. This is going to be a big one. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I think it's the emphasis on STILL that makes it *art*. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Really? I must've missed it. I must have been considering the inherently ludicrous nature of existence at the time. Either that, or listening to House of Love. 020
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 02/09/2026They got *everything* you need in Aisle Fifteen, it would appear. 020
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Quite a line-up. I'd like to have gone but, being only but four at the time, my mum had the final say on that score. And, she said no. An opportunity missed, dare one suggest? 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 02/09/2026This week's reading material. Additionally, the reason why the lady who delivers The Stately Telly Topping Manor post now curtsies each time she hands the latest batch over. 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Tragically, we never DID get a Mister Spunk in Star Trek. Or, indeed, a Mister Spank. 121
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Good grief, Christina, it would appear that AI do sometimes get some things correct (mainly, it should be noted by taking its information directly via From The North!) Still, credit where it's due. I suppose. Reluctantly. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 31/07/2026When your back's knackin' you need the best medicine available. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 28/07/2026@ Amaysia, with Young Malcolm. And, lo twas geet lush. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 06/07/2026A German, a Brazilian and a Dutchman walk into a bar. An Englishman is usually with them but he's still *at* the World Cup. Nah, lissun ... 020
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 29/06/2026"So, you think there's a market for jewellery coloured like shit?" 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Good grief Christina, England in "actually halfway decent performance at World Cup" shock. Well, *that'll* never catch on, clearly. 020
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 17/06/2026The finely manicured lawns of The Stately Telly Topping Manor have be, ahem, finely manicured at last. 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 04/06/2026THANK GOD YOU TOLD US. Does anyone else remember when the Daily Mirra used to be run by ADULTS? No, me neither, I'm only 62. 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Funniest Thing EVER: No 147. Sure's advert ("official sponsors of the World Cup") using Cole Palmer landing roughly 48 hours after Tuchel declined to pick him in the squad! Especially as they licensed a Beatles song for the music (presumably paying Sony MILLIONS!) Aw, bless. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Back to the jolly old Keel Row, with that there Young Malcolm, for malarkey and shenanigans and that. 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 17/05/2026This is Gene Savoy, the American explorer, author and theologian best known for his claims to have discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru. That was obviously before he became the lead singer of Yello. Chikka chikka. 030
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 15/05/2026If he was a Bulgarian, I'd be really worried. (One of all dear fiends of "a certain age", there ...) 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 14/05/2026You know how it is? You've just started a new book, four days in and it's going well, you're ahead of your self-imposed word count (let's see how long that lasts) and you think, "you know what I really really really really deserve? This." Yeah, THAT! 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Also, painting them yellow and hanging them on a tree if this photographic evidence is anything to go by, it would appear. Only in the Metro (so, not a REAL newspaper) dear Blue sky fiends ... 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Well, there's a question I never thought I'd be asked. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Anyone else fancy one of Batman's "fudge missiles"? Twejve's far too many for me ... 020
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I like bats. I like cats. But, which is best? There's only one way to sort this out ... 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 08/05/2026"I've just out been a tour of aLL major cities in South-East Asia with my favourite 1980s band, Kajagoogoo." "Singapore?" "Yes. But the bassist was quite good." I'm here all week. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 05/05/2026How much do I deserve this? Let me count the ways ... 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 05/05/2026The PDF for the forthcoming Bride of a Vault of Horror has just arrived for editing from my (magnificent) publishers. I will, therefore, be rather busy for the next few days reading through 613 page searching for errors until my forehead bleeds. 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 27/04/2026If you can't be bothered to read the latest From The North blog update (and, to be honest, I wouldn't blame you!) allow AI to provide this - surprisingly sort-of accurate(ish) - summation. After all, even a broken is correct twice a day. 000
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Il Grotta Azzurra, Capri, 2004. It was an absolute miracle I managed to get a shot this evocative in virtually no light. My late mother's reaction ... "Well, it *is* blue, I'll give them that!" 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Another fortnightly business luncheonette at The Keel Row with Young Malcolm. 010
Keith Topping @keitht.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Used Morrisons' Amazon Returns machine for the first time, today. Once I'd FOUND the machine (hidden away in the entrance behind the potted plants), it was a surprisingly painless process. Well done, all. Let's see if they refund is as straightforward (I'm not holding my breath). 010
