Sorry for another smug middle aged #topical post, but ...

@DGray118 @sinderinister I may have been economical with the truth there 😁

@BettyUtility @sinderinister Joey Barton-interesting bunch of chaps!🤣

This afternoon’s listening. 24 non-album A&B sides from the RCA era. From Alexander Graham Bell to Stairway to the Stars.

@sinderinister @DGray118 Talent borrows, genius steals as Joey Barton once said ( ... I think ... )

@BettyUtility @DGray118 Paul did love to pinch stuff...or should that be Billy Shears...🤣

Bread riots - meh. Everyone queued for three days to get a loaf of stale Nimble in the 1970s without grumbling. If the creaky old gits managed then you lockdown sourdough starter wankers can cope with it now.

@sinderinister @DGray118 Paul McCartney used it to respond to rumours of his death in a car crash but he was quoting Mark Twain (I had to look up the last bit).

@BettyUtility @DGray118 That's the spirit! I remember a similar tale when someone said, 'rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated. ' Can't remember who now.

@sinderinister @DGray118 Kris Needs of ZigZag fame has reported on Facebook that he's still alive.

@DGray118 If you haven't heard, I see the great Pete Frame is no longer with us.

Rumours of the deaths of Denise Welch and Pete Frame have been greatly exaggerated ... today, on the internet. #today

Phil Lynott working is Asda 🤷‍♂️

The sound and aroma of lawns being mowed for the first time since last autumn. Hey you guys, what is the word used to define the smell of newly cut grass?* 😊 *petrichor** **jk

Just got this email from my barbers.

@LadLeamore I live in the Home Counties (well, Kent, the ladygarden of England). It's supposed to be full of far right racist white van men and Londoners already think it should be razed to the ground. There'll be no stopping them now.

@BettyUtility You know what they’re like. Anywhere outside the Home Counties gets labelled Here Be Dragons

Not many people were paying attention to the meningitis outbreak until one case in London was confirmed. Now: "OMG OMG the university must be locked down no one must leave Kent or travel into London we're all going to DIEEEEE". Well, that's really helping.

Was trying to take a picture of some flowers and took an accidental selfie. JFC. Don't get old, that's my advice.

I posted a tweet yesterday around the same time as someone with a much better, more popular and well loved account and coincidentally said pretty much the same thing but it looks like a rip off. That's me cancelled then 😟

Anyway, glad One Battle After Another won because it's very good and don't have an opinion on the other films because I haven't seen them. Can I go back to listening to ITMA on the wireless now?

Frustratingly his voice was very low in the mix on the ITV coverage. No, I didn't watch it live. Recorded it so I could fast forward through the Jonathan Ross panel babble. It was still terribly exhausting. God, American showbiz types are always pointing at someone!

Jim McDonald has never been seen in the same room with Banksy, so he hasn't.

Is that all we're getting of Red Carpet Royalty™️ Ross King at the Oscars? We've been short-changed 😢

How many actresses on the Oscars red carpet tonight are going to be "showcasing their newly slender, toned physique in an elegant but revealing gown" (©️Daily Mail)? #Ozempic #Munjaro

Happy Mother's Day from Mother. Perhaps your own mother was dancing to this one in the clubs back in the day*. *Who are you trying to kid? The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B, more like. youtu.be/No7Pq5J_9RE?si…
