🔥 It’s PHOENIXFEST this weekend! It sold out super quick even though it’s bigger than ever before, but if you want to see me and @neillcameron.bsky.social doing our live shows (and some extra stuff too!) you still can from the comfort of your own home! Tickets: www.ticketsource.com/whats-on/onl...

All the Big Government Reforms the Media Hasn't Been Telling You About You probably won’t have read much about these announcements over the past few weeks

Of course they do. This Govt has achieved masses that you don't hear about because of the endless reporting about 'Should he go'. It's SO boring! (IMO) bylinetimes.com/2025/10/28/a...

Watching HIGNFY last night.

Paul Merton makes a joke referencing something Mrs B hadn't heard of.
Mrs B: What's one of those?
Me: It's a hairpiece for pubic hair
Mrs B: A merkin?
Me: Yes, although you can get them from China as well.

To the person on @fesshole.bsky.social who said they had fallen in love with a lady on their bus but didn't know what to do - here is your answer!

There's a sitcom in that! Perhaps they used the be guitarist and keyboard player in Hue & Cry. They fell out over a girl during a drive in the back of a van on the way to a gig in Grimsby and haven't spoken to each other since. If you go in one shop with a bag from the other, they'll kick you out.

I've just had to reject optional cookies to unsubscribe from an email from a firm that I have never heard of. I'm so glad we all put all that time and effort into GDPR.

What does it saytthat I reckon I have read 100x more about Starmer's judgement over Mandelson and whether or not he should resign than I have about what Mandelson actually did wrong and how he will be brought to account.

Three sentenced for 'man in bear suit' insurance scam Video went viral after investigators determined the purported ursine was actually a man in a costume.

Today's 'Only in America'... What a story. Biologists determine that a bear driving a car was, in fact, a man in a bear suit.

Surely the fact that it was a bear driving a car might have given them sufficient suspicions to not bother calling the biologists?! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What a great venue!

Wow. Absolutely amazing. Now, just one small question remains. What the flipping ‘eck is it all about!!

And I’ll try and pop into a motorway service station so we can get the full range!

Yep, done this. Many times.

In the @odeoncinemas.bsky.social to see Akira. Just the £4.29 for a bottle of Coke. Is this the most expensive bottle of Coke on the planet, I wonder?

Do you know, I bought one album, and thought it was so bad I took it straight to the charity shop! Loads of uneccesary swearing.

Dury truly was one of our greatest ever lyricists.

Watching it tomorrow evening #excited #evenmoreexcitednowivereadthispost

They are not a popular business. Fleece their customers every possible way they can.

A chap tells me he was born in 1958, and spent the 60s collecting Northern Soul records. He then sold the lot to a DJ in the 70s when he got into prog instead. He remains happy with his decision. #sellingvinyl

I put on The Celtic Soul Brothers by Dexy's, and multiple toddler dancing breaks out! #sellingvinyl

Today’s first toddler dancing is to Message To You Rudy by The Specials. And quite right too #SellingVinyl

Dear @northsomersetc.bsky.social as well as tackling illegal parking sites around Bristol airport, why don't you also 'work with' Bristol airport to do something about their exorbitant and disgraceful parking charges

Happy #recordstoreday for those who celebrate. I'm #sellingvinyl at Windmill Hill City Farm market in Bedminster to mark the occasion.

I’d support this if they removed the last four words.

A troubled man in later years, but a big influence on my listening tastes back in the day

That is an appalling joke. Well done!

RIP Andy Kershaw. Favourite memory was presenting Whistle Test, and an announcement that Emerson Lake & Palmer were releasing a new album. Cut to Andy to introduce the next act, but first, in his deadpan tones, said: "Oh great. So the world's most boring band are back."

What nobody told me about the male midlife crisis (until I hit 40) Men are much more likely than women to lose touch with friends and far less likely to seek mental health support, even though they account for more suicides

The male midlife crisis isn’t about sports cars. It’s about disappearing friendships.

New article by me for the Times featuring Richard Reeves and others:

I rather like this Pope fella.

Private Equity. Where people with more money than they need screw the rest of us to make more money that they don’t need.
