Drum/guit @finkmusic. Novels (see link). Jaws was never my scene and I don’t like Star Wars.

@KirstieMAllsopp @BBCr4today This statement sounds very much like the deliberate removal of nuance to me.

I find it kind of wild that this paperback (Zadie Smith’s On Beauty) went through presumably umpteen levels of vetting and checking, for one of their most prestigious authors, and no one thought to point out that it was not, in fact, shortlisted for the Booker in 2015, but 2005.

The Secret Agent should totally win the Best Picture Oscar. It shouldn't even be close. What a masterpiece... and I loved a lot of the others.

If, like me, you broadly approve of the Beeb, this might be helpful also... https://t.co/CwHtZAMuD8

@Elbow For a long time i thought the lyric was “build a rocking horse”

@IrkthePurists I bet Tina Turner wished Ike was a band and not her husband

I have a surfeit of people named Alex in my life right now. Our agent is Alex. The guy who supplies our merch is Alex. Our bass player's brother? Alex. Our Austrian promoter? Alex. Our PR guy? Alex. There are two people called Alex at our record company. It's an Alexocracy.

Starmer says he vows to "keep fighting".
This is part of the problem. No one wants fighting. They want listening and doing, which is why the Greens won.
Whether they will be good at doing either of those things is theirs to prove.

This was an opportunity to interestingly explain what cask ale actually is, and they blew it

Just had a Valentine's discount offer email from a bike parts company.
Nothing says "forever yours" like a 10-speed double chain set and some brake calipers.

@RachaelvsWorld You could write “no gifts please but please show up blindfolded”

Surprised more people aren't comparing Epstein story to Stephen Ward. Rich bloke provides girls to posh friends - check. High society types snared and shamed - check. Rumours of top secret leaks make things hard for UK govt - check. Protagonist ends up topping himself - check.

I’m kind of disappointed that the promotional website for the movie Hamnet isn’t https://t.co/IV7swBN3cy

I can only add my praise to that already heaped on this fantastic book by Justin Currie. Touching and hilarious, but also the most accurate depiction of touring life I’ve ever read
