The mighty Barry Cryer was born 89 years ago today. One of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Could tell a gag too.

Here he is accepting his honorary doctorate from Leeds University. And it's glorious, btw.

God bless Baz.

Attendees at a Kansas Republican Party event on Friday paid to punched and kicked an effigy of President Biden on Friday.

This is not normal.

@JamesAHogg2 I worked in operating theatres for 37yrs, and I came across quite a few surgeons just like these two characters.

I love card catalogues. I know, I know…digital is so much more efficient. But I like stumbling on 19thc plays with mad titles.

There is also a poetry to the catalogue itself.

Sebastopol to Syren

Occasionally, I even feel confronted:

The average tenure of UK cabinet ministers since July 2016 has been fifteen months - the lowest of any comparable western-style democracy.

FPTP, far from delivering stability, is producing chaos & division.

Countries with PR tend to be more stable.

@RevRichardColes Merry Christmas: War is Over by Dmitri Shostakovich. It must be from 1945?

The Murchison meteorite is a carbonaceous chondrite that fell near Murchison, Victoria, Australia on September 28, 1969.

It is believed it has formed in the early Solar System 7 billion years ago, and it contains some of the oldest material ever found on Earth.

It is one of the most well-studied meteorites in the world, and it has been the subject of extensive research into the origins of the Solar System and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

In fact, it is classified as a CM2 carbonaceous chondrite, which is a type of meteorite that is rich in organic compounds, especially, amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Over 100 different amino acids have been found in the meteorite, including 20 of the 22 amino acids that are used by life on Earth.

@SampsonCarolyn @BIS_records @jpianomiddleton Thank you (and your little helpers) for sharing your thoughts and memories about this remarkable milestone in your discography. And I have enjoyed discovering albums and music that I wasn’t aware of. It was delightful, and sometimes funny too. Bravo!

@SampsonCarolyn @GramophoneMag Congratulations! Love the cover. Although, it looks as if it was taken in a Photo Booth. I expect Gramophone will block me for that.

[Andrew Dawber🇪🇺 @Dawbz]

@RachPodger @ScalaRadio @BB_Fest Absolutely astounding music making. Many thanks to all concerned. I did allow myself to re/imagine some of the mvts as original chamber works, perhaps played at Zimmermann's Coffeehouse on an 'open-mic' night. There's even a hint of Couperin in places. Bravo!

@SampsonCarolyn Has your voice really changed that much in 11 yrs? Hope the hip is better. Voices may be like fine wine, our joints sadly not.
