But how do 'van', 'boot sale', and '6:30 AM' feel now that you've had time to reflect? Or indeed, 'friends'?

Friend was a junior defence lawyer on that famous libel case. Had a drink with her night before the verdict. I thought Archer was doomed. She predicted he wins with record damages. Why? It had been observed, she said (with resigned confidence) that it was a 'spot the brain cell' jury.

Presumably not to pay the fines for the overdues. Or crimes against 'literature'.

I just started typing "How tall is Jerry Hall?" So you can, as someone once sang, stop that for a start.

Yes, I am tackling my allergy to being a laptop train wanker. In mitigation: 1. It's urgent. 2. I am also drinking gin and tonic. #LinkedIn

I downloaded this after seeing your post. Just finished Chapter 1 ... 12% in, apparently ... but I'm not loving it.

When Alan Ball departed as manager of Manchester City in the 90s, he blamed 'the media'. However, as a journalist from the Manchester Evening News reminded him, "We have to print the results, Alan."

Ex-Aussie cricket captain Steve Smith says in a new interview about his team cheating by using sandpaper to alter the condition of the ball that he's "not a big fan of cameras". Well, quite frankly, Stevo, I'm not fucking surprised.

I know. There's so much music out there, so many people pushing new sounds on you, multiple demands on your time. Still, let's put all that to one side while you check out this wondrous EP. Not even a whole album, see. Easy. Go on: I'd be ever so grateful. helenandtheneighbourhooddogs.bandcamp.co…

Unusually honest of him, I'd say, though unlikely to inspire the confidence of Pakistan's bowlers. #cricket

Those indoor chairs give it something of a clap clinic cafeteria feel.

Last time I was in McDonald's, I lunched on two cigarettes and a cup of coffee. Even then, that was a better option than their 'food'.

What with the #BayeuxTapestry exhibition opening today, I've been thinking about Saxon resistance on the Isle of Ely where they had an anti-capitalist non-binary commune led (in a non-patriarchal way) by Hereward The Woke. #NoYOUEffOff

Had a chat there about how the test match was going with one of the experts from The Antiques Roadshow. He was accompanied by two attractive women and didn't chat for long. Those two things may be related.

What a night in Seattle! Couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the #TajMo Tour! The love in the room was something special, and it felt good to be back on stage together. Thank you, Seattle, for giving us such a beautiful beginning - we’re just getting started! @tajmahalblues.bsky.social

'Beard consistently adopted a humble attitude towards his success. When ZZ Top were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, he said: “All I have to say is that most of my life has been a pleasant surprise, and so is this. Thank you."' What a gent. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

When the woman on the BBC News tonight divulged that she was queuing for bottled water (burst water main incident) because her husband needed “his wash in the mornings”, I might have said “soapy t*t w*nk”. Still, it's too late to take it back now.

Michael J. Fox has said that due to his Parkinson's he has no memory of dating Susanna Hoffs in the '80s. Personally I cannot imagine a greater personal tragedy

Checking out restaurants in Verona, and I think I'll pass on the donkey ragu. Risky? Well, I remember eating stewed bat in Wuhan some years ago and coming home with a nasty cold. Probably not connected, though.

Jonesy was a bit like that when I saw him with 'The Manfreds' in Weston-super-Mare a few years ago. Mind you, that Mike D'Abo was no better.
