The most interesting thing about tonight's Top Of The Pops 1984 is the audience. Half of them are dressed in Ben Sherman shirts and Tammy Girl slightly jazzed up office wear. And The other half are in prototype New Romantic get up. An interesting cultural moment.

Great result for England against Norway but glad the evil journo Christian Thompson can get back to his disgraceful behaviour corrupting aspiring fashionistas. #FifaWorldCup

Watching Trump's press conference. It's the Q&A of a bully who has had to climb down and save face. It's all projection. Every criticism of someone else is an admission of his own faults and failings.

Really not feeling the World Cup 'fever' so far. However, social media threw up this gem from yesteryear.

Glorious crocheted post box topper has gone up just in time for the World Cup. Magnificent.

I'm not an economist, or even a decent mathematician, but I have long despaired of arguments for how great the UK is based on 'we are one of the wealthiest nations in the world'. I think* that this is false. We are one of the countries who have the greatest wealth held within our borders.

If tomorrow's (Scottish) football headlines don't include any of the following-or words to these effects-I will be sorely disappointed. Hearts Broken. Broken Hearted. Hearts Bypassed.

Playlist on my morning run throws up Flashback Jack by Adamski. What an album. Dr. Adamski's Musical Pharmacy. Some tracks have aged poorly, but when I heard this as a 12 year old in 1990 this blew my mind. Still sounds great on headphones.

On the morning after the Brexit result I was walking around bewildered and stunned and looking at people thinking 'did YOU do this?', 'is it YOUR fault that this happened?' and, well, I feel a bit like that again today.

Should I start collecting the Panini World Cup 2026 sticker book? I have considered this carefully. It's 48 teams. It's going to be harder than ever to finish. It's going to cost well over £1,000 to complete. That's an unjustifiably stupid amount of money. So, obviously, yes. #gotgotneed #Panini

Dear diary, sad times. Igor Tudor has broken my 49 day record. Not to worry, I've popped my application in the post to be next life coach of Tottering Hopscares. Fingers crossed, but I think my record speaks for itself. #Truss #Tudor

Listening to yesterday's James O'brien and I think the difference between great leaders and 'small' leaders is that great leaders have things named after them, 'small' leaders name things after themselves.

Loving the Skeleton Bob sleigh 'n all, but I think it may have been spoilt by Mario Karting in my youth. Is it REALLY too much to ask to have a different course for each of the four runs? I'm thinking: Run 1:Sherbert Land Run 2: Mount Wario Run 3: DK Summit Final Run: Rainbow Road

Time to re-visit our family's criteria for sports' inclusion into any Olympics: Unless it was an essential physical skill for staying alive, hunting prey or evading danger in pre history it shouldn't be included. #WinterOlympics

May have peaked too early. Forced to have truffle cheese, Stilton and caramelised onion chutney toasties to 'eat up' some of the cheese. Making ham and turkey pie tonight to eat up leftovers. It's Christmas Eve. EVE.

A pet peeve has always been weak hand dryers in public toilets. In the age of Air Blades, Air Froces and Xlerators it is a real shock and a genuine irritant to encounter a feeble hand dryer in the wild. I've spent 5 mins trying to dry my hands with the shallow breaths of an asthmatic pensioner.

I never understand the calls to 'respect the Haka'. It's 15 massive lads declaring war and mimicking slitting your throats. The only acceptable responses to the Haka are:

Whenever the BBC make a mistake, there's a pile on by people with a vested interest in dismantling the BBC. They always conflate 'The BBC' with 'BBC News'. CBeebies and CBBC are worth the licence fee on their own, not to mention BBC Sounds, all the radio drama, comedy and local news radio..

Programme pitch: Taskmaster Champion of Champion series. Programme pitch 2: Strictly Come Dancing Champion of Champions series. Properly competitive not like the lame Christmas exhibition specials they have. Proper cutthroat, all-out dancing.
