Japan has a new stationmaster cat. The Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line is famous for its feline stationmasters. A new cat, Rokutama, has been appointed trainee stationmaster of 2 stations.
Other cats received promotions. This is serious stuff.
Kirsty died on this day 25 years ago. Bless her and bless @ShaneMacGowan and I hope they are having fun together again. I suspect they’re not singing Fairytale but they might be singing something else ❤️❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
A brief tiny memory about Manchán Magan, who passed away yesterday.
I guested on a series he did 20 years ago, and he noted that I had dropped the “fada” (the accent/diacritic) over the O in my name, which I had replaced with a capital O, just for ease of understanding in the UK. “Put it back” he said, “It should be there, proudly”
And ever since, yes, the fada has been back on the O on every poster and tour. Here it is, outside the Swansea Arena last night. That’s Manchán’s doing.
Said it before, I'll say it again: Greta Thunberg actually goes out into the world and tries to do something about the things she believes in. Her critics just sit on their middle-aged arses bloviating about her.
