Former prolific blogger. Escaped the clutches of that other place to a hopefully more pleasant experience here. I hope she likes snooker.

I am genuinely sorry. But I did try and keep the other place in order for just a short time.

Sorry my lovely friend. Not had much to say lately but a lovely person called @mrjamesob.bsky.social said something awful about snooker today. Says we all look like old men! He is only a few months younger than me! The cheek of it. Fuming #leftfuming #loveKathi

My favourite Bowie story, as told by William Boyd
The decade of our loose continuity connections ended in New York shortly before Bowie’s 60th birthday. It was at a party in a Tribeca hotel. As I arrived I saw Bowie stepping out of a yellow cab and paying the driver. Greeting him and vaguely surprised to see him in this form of transport I asked him if he ever had any problems moving around the city. Not at all, he said, he happily used cabs and subways. “I just carry one of these,” he said, and held up a Greek newspaper. People think: that’s David Bowie, surely? Then they see the Greek newspaper – no, can’t be, just some Greek guy who looks like him.

Ok so Trump won again, Musk is buying up democracy, media is overdosing on Farage and Tory sour grapes… BUT We kicked the Tories out, the right is split, Brexit hovers over the shredder, Trump and Musk will trip up over their monstrous egos and we moved to Bluesky. There’s always hope. Cheers all🎄🥂

I dare not ask it at the other place for the fear of being labelled a ******** ****** ***** but it would be interesting to know if Terry Griffiths had a recognition or cognitive memory of snooker in his later few years. It strikes me that snooker is very like playing a piano in that respect.

Met Terry on a number of occasions, firstly as a very young kid in Preston after he won the UK Championship when my dad insisted I call him Mr Griffiths when asking for an autograph. Later years met him in the press in Sheffield and in his coaching days at SWSA. Always a gent. #RIPGriff
