@patrickxwest @moveincircles That’s exactly right!

@moveincircles It's a comedy when you're young, a tragedy as you get older

Everyone of my generation quotes "Withnail & I" as though it's a comedy

@MrsNickyClark I think I was the first person to put her on British tv. She was great. After the recording in some club somewhere in Belfast she asked me for a dance. I had to say no as I was feeling so ill and went home. Just imagine how ill I must have been feeling

I remember Jonathan Ross cutting a dress off a woman’s body on his chat show. I remember him on his BBC R2 show telling his sidekick Simon perhaps he could get a girlfriend with special needs. Well done Aisling Bea. Women are bored of this shit.

@LissaKEvans @suzanne_moore @jo_bartosch @Tate Could you possibly DM me too?

@suzanne_moore @jo_bartosch @Tate Have DMd

Visited @Tate Britain for first time in a while. Was wonderful, but the hectoring about Rex Whistler’s racist mural was grating. If they must have trigger warnings, why not for the many misogynist artists? Why have a hierarchy? Perhaps just let visitors work it out ourselves.

What is it about this time of year that makes a country walk so beautiful? Love the cow parsley, the periwinkle and the calendula Plus LAMBS

*a third

Spurs need a second, it's physically impossible for Villa to continue to play this badly.

@danbarker On the upside, 305 E 72 St in Manhattan -- where Hanff lived -- is named Charing Cross House in her honor.

@icod @Overourwall His dad composed the soundtracks of dozens and dozens of films, his mother was Marni Nixon who replaced the singing voices of famous actresses like Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Wood

@robnitm @Overourwall Is he?

Lonely Boy by Andrew Gold is an under rated banger. Fight me.

@icod ‘I don’t think that’s strictly necessary nurse’. I started laughing and in the end the three of us couldn’t stop. A man put his head through the door and said, ‘It’s not usually so light hearted in here!’

@icod When I was about 23 I had to have a couple of moles removed from my chest at St Thomas’s. There was a young nurse and a woman doctor. I feigned dread of the pain and blood and the nurse held my hand. The doctor looked over her glasses and said:

The continued saga of my stupid back after a mole removal. I'm now wearing a pico machine for seven days to try and make it heal. Which means I'm attached to this.

@Overourwall @icod I never knew he was quite the nepo baby

@Overourwall @icod Totally with you

@NicoPerrino The 'Welcome to Austin, JFK' uneaten banquet, 22nd November 1963.

My wife and I are wondering what happened to the steak and lobster for 2,600 ppl that never got served at last night’s #WHCD?

Larkin’s father died on 26 March 1948. A week the following Sunday it snowed in Warwick. This beautiful elegy was never printed in the poet’s lifetime and yet, arguably, it is his first great poem.

@SeeRedWoman1 @boswelltoday

@boswelltoday @robnitm Wowzers!!

Doors closing now. Off to Bali in a non- bogan fashion.

@boswelltoday @SeeRedWoman1 I illustrated the Cadogan Guide to Bali a long time ago. It’s mentioned in the film Notting Hill for some reason. I’ve never been though!

@SeeRedWoman1 Sadly was stuck there for a year in Covid. Terrible, so it was.

Outside my kitchen window this morning

@annemcelvoy @JohnRentoul @jmullinjourno @simmyrichman Surely I’m Mandy Fly Me comes in somewhere

@JohnRentoul @jmullinjourno @simmyrichman Life is a minestrone John

I keep thinking as KS continues of that old 10cc song “Good Morning Judge” that goes “ I didn’t do it, I wasn’t there”
