Feeling My Age

Getting older has its drawbacks - but it's a lot better than the alternative. Seventysomething baby boomer, living in 21st Century London.

#NP6Music What about "Holy Smoke" by @freshnet and @SwamiBaracus featuring Sir @IanMcKellen as The Voice Of God It's completely bonkers - not really the kind of record you'd expect to hear from any of them really.... https://t.co/sf2VXzthUm

Get a better paid job, get a second job, wear an extra jumper, eat for 30p, swim in shit, live with Covid, don't call an ambulance, live without fresh fruit and veg, stop buying lattes and Netflix, live with your parents, stop talking down Britain, stop ruining Brexit and shut up

“It’s a nice long one,” said Pooh, very much impressed by it. "Naturally it takes a good deal of pencil to say a long thing like that.."

If you only read one thing on the loss of Paul O’Grady, it has to be @theguyliner’s reflection. This had me in tears https://t.co/mbbJWCIGTN

BOWIE TALKING YORKSHIRE... @JamesAHogg2 is absolutely right... this is sublime

[James Hogg @JamesAHogg2]

David Bowie talks about Yorkshiremen...

This is absolutely sublime.

Well said, people. Couldn't agree more...

[Muslims Against Antisemitism and Christianphobia @MAAS_UK]

Where there is antisemitism, you will find ignorance, a loathing for pluralism and most of all, a social virus that has been around for over 5,000 years.

We all have a part to play in tackling it.

GREIL MARCUS ON ROCK STARDOM...
https://t.co/Ys9D9Wj2r2 The language is dated, based on a presumption that all "Rock'n'Rollers" will be male. But he makes a good point about audience expectation vs innovation. Springsteen being a case in point.

Someone will be the first person to have a wank this Christmas morning and they’ll have no idea it was them. What a magical time.

[What The F Is Going On? @wtfisgoingonpod]

A reminder that there's no podcast today, as we're on strike in solidarity with nurses, postal workers, rail workers and everyone else fighting for a decent world. (Actually, we're taking a break for Xmas, but the sentiments are real) Next episode Jan 7th. https://t.co/Twd3bWwwRL

We don’t see Boris Johnson or Liz Truss in the House Of Commons at all, so what are they getting paid to do exactly ? If Back benching is too menial for them, then they need to piss off and RESIGN

[BBC Current Affairs @BBC_CurrAff]

Despite some recent heavy rainfall, much of England is experiencing drought conditions.

@DAaronovitch asks is Britain's water system able to cope with more frequent hot weather?

Amazing footage - watch to the end. It's like the Hindenburg disaster re-enacted as a giant Catherine wheel. Without the fatalities...
