Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

My tour rider asks for the venue's crew to put a step ladder onstage and decorate as they see fit. Clive at Oxford engineered it so I did not see this freaky fucking thing until I walked onstage to start the show. Whole show spent feeling I should be looking over my shoulder. Salut!

What I always find fascinating about this stuff is that the "non-brewed condiment" label isn't, as you'd think, to do with modern food-labelling laws. It's because of the temperance movement more than a century ago.

I'm not opposed at all to guilty pleasure reading. I do it a lot. I just don't understand the desire to say there's no meaningful difference between, like, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and Dungeon Crawler Carl, because after all you might like both.

Busan has a new resident named Bukangi, a shark who started chilling in the canals near the train station a couple weeks ago. The city has been trying all sorts of schemes to gently lead her back to the ocean but she foils every attempt and swims back and forth being admired by crowds of fans.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..

Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Just called a fancy restaurant to ask whether they could accommodate a vegetarian tomorrow. "Certainly, sir," she replied. "We offer hay or silage," with only a touch of mirth. I hope the legendary receptionist of that particular equestrian centre has a very good weekend. (One wrong digit.) 🙄

The princess took an earring off and held it out. The raven looked at it. "Whatever for?" "You are wise and clever. Many princesses have dragons, but none has a raven friend." The raven picked up the earring. "Say no more." "Friends?" she asked when it returned the next day. "Forevermore."

Now I know why classical fans rolled their eyes at rock music for so many years, I’ve just heard a bit of Handel that is the middle-eight from Queen’s Flash Gordon theme. I can only assume Freddy Mercury was a time traveller.

Access to culture is a right, not a privilege. Keeping museums free means millions can continue to explore, learn and be inspired, regardless of their background or income. That's good for London, and good for ensuring cost is never a barrier to discovery.
