It is only the first day of October and I'm already thinking of muting #halloween and anyone changing their name to something seasonal.

Are you even on holiday in France if you don't see a riot or strike?

I can confirm that Merveilleux are, in fact, merveilleux. In fact the one I just had (Incroyable) did live up to its name.

Find someone who looks at you the way I look at Méert "Bon Acceuil" ice-cream. That is the small size. The flavour is Madagascan vanilla with chocolate and caramel pieces. My excuse (not that I need one) is that it is currently 27c in Lille.

Eurostar Premier lunch today... London to Lille. Drinks and nibbles. I'd pre-ordered a vegetarian meal, so got a really rich bean cassarole, courgettes and dauphonoise. The rest was as per menu. There were also nibbles and drinks in the Premier Lounge at St Pancras. #piggyasfuck

Last year I bought a limited (to 50) edition Marloe & @psbhq.bsky.social "The Last Flight" watch. Guess who just bought the subsequent "The Race For Space" limited (to 200) watch...

Dear BBC I'm happy that you're not showing videos. It would be even better if you don't show photos and play audio. Just use your reporters. Starve the attention seeking fucker of the oxygen of publicity he lives for.

I am craving steak/stilton pie, chips, mushy peas, gravy. Some crispy fried onions. Lots of S&V on the chips and mushies. Bread and butter. Pint of bitter. I am having a cheese and red onion sandwich. And a cup of tea. No crisps as we have none in the house ☹️

My latest Amazon Music playlist is devoted to the sophisticated pop sounds of the mighty Prefab Sprout. I saw them just the once... on the Jordan tour. They were glorious. And they had still to release my favourite Sprout... Andromeda Heights. #nowplaying #musicsky #popasfuck #trulygiftedkids

It says a lot about its residents that Piddington declared itself a Principality and not a Democratic Republic.

I've previously recreated several album covers (some more loosely than others) by Mr Chuckletrousers (that'll be Steven Wilson to the uninitiated). I was particularly proud of my To The Bone and my Harmony Codex cufflinks. I may have difficulty with Requiem For A Village.

Back home from a full day of #hotmorrisaction at Bromyard Folk Festival. I think we acquitted ourselves reasonably adequately. As ever, its noticeable how little Cotswold there was. Legs are now jelly.

I loathe Rule Brittania with every fibre of my being. And don't get me started on Land Of Hope And Glory (I'm with Elgar on this). Oh and Nicky Spence unfurled a rainbow flag just in case you didn't guess.

I thought I was old when the barber started asking me if I wanted my eyebrows trimmed (why, yes I do). However, it didn't prepare me for yesterday when she nonchalantly shaved the top of my ears (how did I not see those hairs?).

Whilst it is true that "Hand. Cannot. Erase. This Love." (as per t-shirt), it is also true that my barber's Hand. Can. Erase. This Hair. At least some of it. #progasfuck

'No excuse' for threatening behaviour or disruption, says minister after small boats protests - BBC News share.google/RKQfGc7fTDn0... Injured officers and damaged vehicles? So where the fuck are the arrests? And why are BBC News downplaying this with diminishing language?
