Retired science journo now free to indulge in my true missed vocation, making music!

See me (!) and others perform at The Green Rhythm Club open mic night every Monday at the Ealing Project from about 7pm. Great show guaranteed, and it’s free! https://t.co/61aZ8B0gVE

Scarily awesome Apache gunships over Ealing. Four in a row. Ready to deal with anyone who votes Tory..

Saw Johnny Marr at the Hammersmith Apollo last night. Neil Tennant made a guest appearance. Absolutely amazing gig!

Robbed of £80 by TFL for lingering 8 secs in a box junction. But I was turning RIGHT and held up by traffic, so allowed under the Highway Code. My appeal was rejected. Letter states: “your vehicle was not observed attempting to turn right.” The camera never lies ..or does it?

Trees are in blossom down my road - IN FEBRUARY!? The climate is getting seriously out of whack

Free design tip for car manufacturers: put kerb illuminating lights along the sides of your vehicles. I scratched one of the black alloy wheels on my lovely new Mazda 3 attempting to park on an unlit road at night. I couldn’t see the effing kerb!

@Damonalbarn @SHOTBYPHOX For what it’s worth I think the new album is GREAT! Ironic isn’t it that heartbreak produces some of the best music.

Just seen a line of five attack helicopters flying over my garden. What gives?

The fact that people are being arrested under the Public Order Act for holding up placards calling for the abolition of the monarchy is unfuckingbelievable. Strange version of liberal democracy we’re living in

@JBONAMASSA Lovely - I’m lucky enough to own a custom shop SG. But my eye was also drawn to the Princeton reverb amp..

[John von Radowitz @JohnvonR]

Just love starlings. So fearless and cheeky! This one’s at Asda in Park Royal 😊

Now I know it’s game over. A young lady offered me her seat on the tube, unprompted. Lots of others standing but she chose me. I thanked her and said it was v considerate but did I really look that decrepit? Mumbled answer “no” which means “yes”

[John von Radowitz @JohnvonR]

Is there a collective noun for crows? Not sure what’s happening here but made me think of A. Hitchcock’s The Birds. Cacophony of cawing too. Bit creepy really..

IF PIGS WERE PETS
How can we react strongly to cruelty to companion animals, yet seemingly turn a blind eye to the suffering of farm animals?

As the pig slaughter capacity crisis & CO2 gas shortages continue, we urgently need action @DefraGovUK

Here’s a clip from the OLR guitar orchestra Christmas concert at the Brentham Club, Ealing, on Dec 4. Holly Penfield singing her song Tree Woman. I’m standing up at the far right

[John von Radowitz @JohnvonR]

I’m on a tube train right now and virtually no-one is wearing a mask. The guy two seats down is snorting into a snot rag - no mask. what the f…. wrong with you morons?

So you think you’re safe after two jabs? New Swedish population study suggests Covid vaccines only work for a short time. For AZ vaccine “no effectiveness detected” after four months. Note this is a pre-print paper not yet peer reviewed https://t.co/KqpjK13LHC
