#NowPlaying Ethereal Shroud "Trisagion" - four epic length tracks ranging from 14 minutes to nearly 30 of thunderous, expansive black metal featuring moments of drone and ambience. Ambitious and powerful. V good!!

Very much enjoying the latest season of Slow Horses. Gary Oldman once again excels as human 'pint and kebab' Jackson Lamb & I've figured out who Jack Lowden reminds me of both visually & aurally. It's as if Simon Pegg used AI to make a younger, more conventionally good looking version of himself.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Nigel Farage claimed that Warwickshire County Council had blocked Reform’s inquiries into their financial accounts.

The truth? Reform never made any inquiries.

Nigel Farage wasn't telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform wants to be obstructed by council workers, but it has to try first

Parsnips - they induce Exorcist style projectile vomiting. I hate most "sweet" veg to be honest. You're not a pudding! Get your own gig!

Human Centipede - tries so hard to be offensive it's tedious.

"These Words" Natasha Bedingfield. Just horrible

Oysters. Love 'em but the last time I got norovirus so bad I vomited so hard I fainted.

Son Of Saul. A masterpiece too harrowing to watch twice.

Jesus To A Child. A dirge.
