Before you unfollow me (quite understandably) for digital verbal diarrhoea - here's a funny bit from a show you can hear in full, from tomorrow.

Just for the fun of it I've found a place to write about things I care about. My one firm promise: they won't be long. Just thoughtful. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Oh my good god. And an AI poster just to make it that much *touch* worse.

Finished. The Abergele Files goes slightly sci-fi, so I get to have fun with sound effects.

I’m entirely tired of the fake podcast aesthetic.

MrsD and I have been together nearly 30 years, but it was only *last night* that I learned her primary school never incorporated BBC or ITV schools programmes into lessons. This seems unimaginable to me. No Watch, You & Me, Words & Pictures, Picture Box or How We Used To Live. Did yours? Surely!

Octopus - I think you're OK as an energy supplier, but if you're writing to me about money (especially when you seem to have taken too much money from me!) please lay off the bullshit sign-offs.

God knows I’m no stranger to middle-aged posts but, lads… I’ve bought a thing that pulls dandelions up from the roots and I couldn’t be happier.

I keep getting this if I google something on my iPhone. I’ve read it… but I don’t understand it. By “your computer network”, does it mean my phone, my mesh router, my broadband router…? What should I do? It’s been happening randomly for a few weeks, now.

Look. Things change. Of course they do. But have we sunk so low that BBC journalists have to cosplay as “influencers” on social media

Meanwhile, on Facebook someone is arguing that DaVinci’s Last Supper would have been better if he’d shown it more realistically, with people on both sides of the table.

I don’t know if it’s a rye joke, minor act of resistance somewhere deep in BH or a coding mistake (it’s always a mistake…) but my car DAB displays the R4 ‘LW’ logo. I keep meaning to mention it to R4… but also kind of like it. Forgive reflections!

The key thing to remember with terrible visual puns is that they really only amuse the person posting them.

The end of a busy day, which included seeing this chap read at Mold library. Thank you for a entertaining and thoughtful evening, @robinince.bsky.social

Last night was a joy. Thank you Cambridge Corn Exchange. The Archers tour continues but my job as director is done. What an experience it’s been. So grateful to Fane, the tremendous Archers acting and writing teams and especially Angela Barnes for bringing it all home.

Love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it. A true honour to have been asked to direct this tour. Tickets available… and it’s great fun. We opened in Manchester, then Stoke-on-Trent and, tonight, Nottingham…
