Cat pics, tech, ranting. Sweary. Londoner. No Christmas until after my birthday.
You had a 22% pay rise last year, though
Day 2 of industrial action.

Resident doctors’ pay is down by more than a fifth, but no doctor is worth less than in 2008.

Today we strike again in England to show the Government we won’t back down until they make a credible offer.

dance music really was the beginning of the end of #totp because you really had to be off your face on pills to properly enjoy it. It doesn't translate to evening family telly #totp

rude of #totp to cut Abba in half like that

Abba were so brilliant at writing songs about utter devastation #totp

pervy dads up and down the land assembled for these terrible, cheesy dance routines from Legs & Co. Truly, the past is another country #totp

also dear god, how is 1977 nearly half a century ago?? I was at boarding school and it's surely not THAT long ago #totp
November 14, 2025 at 8:07 PM
1977 was a kind of transition year - the fag end of truly 70s music like Boney M and really sharp new wave like Tom Robinson and Elvis Costello on the same show #totp

I'd forgotten about this very odd song about the Troubles from, er, Boney M #totp

Friday nights on BBC Four make me feel so damn old #totp

I've got a sensor in my glass-roofed office that measures light levels. Really striking how limited the light has been today as it chucked it down all day

One day I am going to go out and ask the man who constantly walks past my open window burping really loudly if he could perhaps consider doing so a bit more quietly.

This is why we should protect the BBC.

this is something I don't understand about the very rich: ok, Lineker isn't in private-jet rich territory, but he could comfortably put his feet up and enjoy life/family for the rest of his days. Why put yourself through working if you don't have to?

Ah the 1970s.

Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Experts do not regard English as a tonal language, and yet the wide variety of meanings of "fuck" displays an undeniable tonal quality. In this essay I will

Anyway, here is some good news. I know landlords hate this, but renters need some security about the roof over their heads

Just write out "fucked", for goodness sake.
The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.

But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic

We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS

DEFEND THEM!
