I picked up a second hand fishing camera which has a night mode. Not for fishing but to show kid when b sitting. With the crap optics and weird colour this cray fish grabbing a bit of chicken I put out looks like HPL horror.

I had the munchies so bad last night I ate 90% of the chocolates from a tray that was a present for someone else. Awaiting the consequences this morning when they find out. I also had the last of the homemade Lemon cake someone made for us. Fuck. #CaloriesDontCountWhenYouAreHigh

JOLENE IN WELSH! I never knew Dolly Parton had Welsh heritage. A massive percentage of people I follow (and people who follow me) are about to absolutely lose their shit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dolly Parton sings Jolene in Welsh in recording released after her death
Parton's niece Jada Star and Welsh singer Bronwen Lewis say the country artist was proud to sing in Welsh.

Watching “How to get a Head in Advertising” and the subs are showing “Boyle” instead of “boil”. If you were deaf then you would be thinking “Who is this Boyle character?!”

People have it all wrong about Richard E Grant. He looked around and saw what and who he was involved with and thought “Yes, I’m a fucking traitor” #TheTraitors #Traitors

I love this and I’m hoping one day the kids will be playing hopscotch while chanting a rhyme along the lines of “Nigel on the grift, he took a Russian gift” etc. Something that would ridicule his name and his descendants for a few centuries or more.

Screenshot from Instagram. @DanielPink says: I’ve read more productivity books than anyone you know. The wisest advice in all of them fits in two words: do less.

REISSUE OF THE WEEK: ‘Bossanova (2026 Remaster)’ by Pixies Released in 1990 during a brittle and bruised period for the quartet, the Pixies began experimenting with sci-fi inspired lyricism, surf rock, surreal psychedelia, 50s kitsch, and breezy soft rock. www.normanrecords.com/features/bes...

OH and step daughter have plotted to go to a barn dance tonight. And are expecting me to go too. I thought it was a joke, but no. I need to bail out quick. This is madness.

6 Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. The Piltdown Man track on Tubular Bells 2. Noddy Holders voice. 3. Nuclear Armageddon 4. Long, dark hallways with push in light switches that turned the lights off after 20s 5. The Black Panther (UK serial killer) 6. The Tomorrow People

Why use the term “food pipe” like the article is written for nursery school? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very hot drinks may damage the food pipe and increase cancer risk
Steaming hot liquid can damage the cell lining on the way down to the stomach, experts say.

I’m beyond excited (and slightly terrified) to announce that my one-man show, SQUID – A Victim Impact Statement, will premiere at the Arcola Theatre, London, 11–14 November. For 30 years, I documented a story I couldn’t remember. SQUID is what happened when I finally did.

Blindfolded, I stumbled my way to the post. I could smell the cordite from the previous “purification”. My hands where bound behind my back and the order to aim was given. Then the crowd began the chant I had heard all week, each time ending with a volley of rifle fire. “Boring! Boring! Boring!”

Just watched Free Party: A Folk History It was good to see the traveller community explaining how festivals on common land had been going on for years. All banned now. Feels like a confiscation we should be more upset about.

This weekend is Cinema Weekend or something, the upshot is it’s £4 a ticket Sat and Sun. Cineworld and Odean. Just booked 3 luxury recliner seats for £12 instead of £60 to see The Odyssey. Get in before all the seats go.
