Two years ago, I had the most amazing day at #MegaCon in Dublin, where I met Sylvester McCoy. He was lovely, amazing and entertained the crowd so brilliantly. Thrilling to meet a total hero. And tomorrow, more Doctor Who stars are coming to see us in Ireland at MegaCon 2025!Can't wait! 😍

Everyone went on about Agnetha but Anni-Frid looks like she knows some filthy jokes, could drink you under the table and slap the taste out of your mouth. Now that's a woman. #TOTP

Been travelling, so haven't had time to listen to this, my most anticipated album this year. And it's wonderful. On this, their 13th (and last-ever) LP, Saint Etienne are as smart and clever pop magicians as they ever were.
