1/ A cowardly subtweet, as I've not got the bandwidth today to deal with a pile on (and nor do I wish one on this person) but as someone who's set up three parkrun events I feel bound to comment on the suggestion that parkrun UK must comply with demands for 'sex at birth' registration.

That isn't to my taste.

Little known fact-my mother was the drug squad officer who arrested Marianne Faithfull in 1967, alongside Jagger and Richards. Tough for my
Mum following orders as she adored the Stones and Marianne. But it was a piece of social cultural history which changed Britain. Sleep well beautiful woman.

A word about Shirley Bassey. During the very early days of Ziggy Stardust, we often used to play these fairly grotty clubs called the "workingman's clubs." They were sort of like nightclubs but you got a cheap meal. The whole family would come. A round of beer. A rock act. A stripper-sometimes one in the same. Well, backstage one night I was desperate to use the bathroom. I was dressed in my full, battle finery of Tokyo-spaceboy and a pair of shoes high enough that it induced nose bleeds. I went up to the promoter-actually I tottered over to the promoter-and I asked, "Could you please tell me where the lavatory is?"

And he said, "Yeah, look down that corridor. On the far end of that wall. You see that sink? There you go."

I said, "My good man, I'm not taking a piss in the sink."

He said, "Listen son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Still my favourite David Bowie story.

Once again, credit to @lewisgoodall.com and @maitlis.bsky.social, this episode is one of the most insightful pieces of journalism I've heard in a long time.

OK Google, why are these Seoul lawmakers congratulating each other at today's impeachment hearing?

"The handshake seals the contract
From the contract there's no turning back
The turning point of a career
In Korea being insincere"
