It's a strong look - as seen on Bob Mortimer in the latest Last One Laughing... (seagull accessory is optional. but highly recommended)

If you see this, post a concert photo you took

This is very gratifying for me... there's been a 30 year running joke in my family about how I once said that pigeon milk exists, and now I can share this with them!

It's so good to see him happy and excited again

The lifts at Bristol Parkway have *all* been closed for repairs since mid-January (not due to re-open until Easter). This is on top of lots of intermittent issues /closures in the past few years - they've often been out of order for weeks at a time, with no alternatives provided

Have you seen BBC Wales's "snooker player afraid of teabags" story? This is the sort of investigative journalism we, ummm, deserve?

This is who runs this account

Love his Tenby work too. Sad news

A publication I co-wrote was very nearly attributed to the ORCID of a law scholar in Northumbria who shares my name.... But my favourite same-namer is the one in New York whose yacht catalogues and fancy cake invoices come to my inbox...

Couldn't have a morning in Swansea without a visit.... One of my earliest memories is of standing at the bottom of the very steep stairs here

Ha, no way! Didn't know that about Freddie. It's a great place, isn't it?

It's made me nostalgic for early 00s St Matts / Fishponds! S Glos has just submitted their local development plan, but not sure whether student accommodation features. There are new (huge) private halls being built near UWE at present...
