That would be a grand way to measure just how civilised an alien civilisation is...

But some of those stars will have planets that have trees that have leaves so that might tip the balance the other way...

It was a joy to watch, thank you, and Autumn is a-comin' in is my new favourite poem 😉

Haywood Floyd: “Its origin and purpose, still a total mystery. But with 30 minutes still to go, that's all the dialogue from 2001, A Space Odyssey"

Oh yeah, some stories have characters that are indistinguishable from each other. I'm reading one now. I know the main protagonists, but the background characters blur into each other, I keep having to go back to see who they are...

And I thought Tom Watson was one of the decent guys. How disappointing

The Spiders from Mars Bars. Actually, Holy Holy starring your Dad and your sister were absolutely brilliant last night in Manchester. Like my ears, I'm still buzzing

Ah Peebles. Where the local farmer thought I was poaching. I had to show him there were no rabbits in my bag. (And before you ask, not in my back pocket, either)

I hope this isn't literally throwing Yorkshire puddings? Very disappointed with the waste of good food if so...

To celebrate the football World Cup? They missed the obvious tagline: Get your kicks on Boom 66!

One Night, after a gig at the O2, on the crowded tube home, my wife's scarf got entangled with Bill Oddie's RSPB badge. A precious memory

If my Aunt Joyce were there, she'd be getting out the picnic table (not forgetting the gingham table-cloth) and chairs, Sunday best China, and brewing up a pot of tea on the camping stove

@countarthurstrong.bsky.social Having just re-watched 'We're Listening', I wonder if you're thinking of tossing your hat in the ring in the Clacton by-election? Count Arthur v Count Binface sounds good, especially when it comes to the count... If I lived in Clacton, you'd get my vote...

I played Sidewinder on my show sometime ago, along with one of your songs, so easily confused!

Well sometimes it's nice to follow other people's trains of thought, then we can say, 'Yeah, I knew that', even if we hadn't really given any conscious thought...

My American wife really doesn't enjoy this kind of British humour, which of course makes it doubly funny for me! And we've all known an Amanda/Alan in real life. Weirdly, my also American mother-in-law (with dementia) chortles along to Amandaland so it's good to see some things can still reach her

In good company. Mick's Music Mix on Wythenshawe Radio WFM 97.2 was a repeat of the previous week's show too!

We couldn't believe the sight of them and their cheap plastic union flags when we came out of King's Cross Station. I know we shouldn't stereotype people, but they were all bald, middle-aged, round-headed, angry-looking... and so were the men... very sad, and lots of police officers' weekends ruined

Been there, done that, didn't get the t-shirt. For me, cutting back on citrus fruit was the hardest... Get well soon!

Mick's Music Mix on Wythehawe Radio WFM 97.2, Sunday 4pm 😉 but Cerys Matthews, Guy Garvey and Jarvis Cocker on BBC 6 Music every Sunday is a pretty good run...
