Epic trolling. Buy a pea coat for neighbourhood racist this Christmas.

I know it was probably planned months ago and I’m just on some list somewhere but the fact the RNLI has got this to me *this week* makes them look like awesome marketing wizards.

BBC sport has fallen (to the ‘learnings’ plague). Repeat after me: there is no plural of ‘learning’. The word you are looking for is ‘lessons’. Now get off my hill, I’m busy dying here.

This is Brockwell Park this evening. A lovely vibe. And they’re playing cricket. We should do this every week.

Farewell Bill Oddie. The TV show was obviously magnificent (and stands up rather well I find) but and my brothers and I absolutely played this record smooth. Ironing my Goldfish. Spank that Hamster. And the chart-bothering but North-baiting A Man’s Best Friend is his Duck.

I was wondering why AI-generated flyers like the one that just landed on my doorstep are so unsettling. And I think it’s because none of the humans depicted are looking into another human’s eyes. They’re just gazing into a middle e-distance waiting for instruction.

I had somehow never seen this before this evening but @andrewmale.bsky.social triggered a need. What a gloriously bonkers movie!

Never gave a round of applause to @panchoballard.bsky.social for his excellent Library Music record when it came out, but I’m listening to it now and it’s brilliant to work along to.

Interesting idea. But where will all the post-18th century immigrants go? And can an Aboriginal culture survive without immigrants to do the difficult jobs?

Four stars. Tremendous fun. I actually think Verbinski set out to make a Terry Gilliam film. He was one star away from succeeding.

Train meditation - South London on way to Pulborough.

I think if I just had to do this all day long and nothing else I’d be perfectly happy. It’s an expensive form of meditation but it bloody works.

What’s the most age-inappropriate thing you’ve done recently? Mine was buying a pair of Adidas trainers because Michael Carrick wears them.

Can I say both that writing 'speaking as a man with a daughter' is really fucking stupid, and that this isn't an apology, Roberto, and you can absolutely do one. Speaking as a man with a daughter.
