Very disappointed about the budget being leaked. All around Britain people were waiting with baited breath. In scout huts, garden sheds, community centres and village halls, crowding around transistor radios. Another part of our way of life has died 😔

Absolute codswallop. I was hoping for the usual New Year's From Pebble Mill with Donny MacLeod, Phil Drabble, Moira Anderson and Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen. They've gone too far with this modern noise and debauchery. I'll not pay my licence fee if it's funding this filth.

Sorry, this has been bugging me all day but I'm imagining a lamb/beef/pork mince pie known as a shepherd's cottage pigsty pie. The shepherd has turned his cottage into a pigsty and his wife is raging. "Fuck's sake Barry, stop leaving your socks on the floor and dropping fag ash on the carpet!"
Good morning.
Slow cooker is on with the mince for a cottage pie later and I've even peeled the potatoes already.
Lazy day ahead after yesterday's manic market at the Comicon.
Also, I say cottage pie but what is it when you've cut the beef mince with pork mince because beef is too expensive?

The great Tina Weymouth is 75 today so it's an excuse to put up my favourite ever live in the studio TV band performance. Look at her face - just look at her face!

Released much more quickly than expected. New cast, making "great progress" apparently. I'd been told that I had two fractures but one turned out to be a mark on the X-ray last week, lol.
"You know we said there was a shadow on your lung? Someone dropped a bit of yoghurt on the X-ray hem hem."
"You know we said there was a shadow on your lung? Someone dropped a bit of yoghurt on the X-ray hem hem."
The old girl is off to 🟡😱THE YELLOW ZONE😱🟡 today for a follow up consultation a week after the fracture. The letter warns me that I may be there for several hours. Finally, the time to get past page 350 of Ulysses 💬

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Got out for a walk for the first time since Thursday. Came back at school chucking out time and a kid said to his mother "It was school photo day and I DIDN'T SMILE ONCE!"
Alright Victoria Beckham.
