Things I like: Daft jokes. Clever pop music. Historical shit. Cake. Nice typefaces. Cats and dogs. The sky (whatever it happens to be doing at the time).
Look, @captaindamo! I told you I could remember when the Lord Mayor's horses were kept in the stables at Ashton Court. In fact I didn't think it was as recently as 1991.
Morning. Bloom and Guardian, the last horses which pulled the Lord Mayor's coach, with groom Richard Warburton (l) and coachman Garry Parker (r) at Ashton Court, this day 30 years ago - October 3 1991.
@RevRichardColes My partner once spent hours (and hours and hours) making Levi Roots' recipe for Caribbean spiced baked beans. They tasted like baked beans.
@watsoncomedian Absolutely. I work in child protection & I've been so impressed with everything teachers have been doing to keep an eye on vulnerable children & make sure they're safe & looked after throughout the pandemic. The view that they've been sat on their arses doing nowt is disgusting.
@OhLookBirdies @greg_jenner My mother once overheard a woman complaining about how busy she'd been by saying "I was up and down like a pork chop in a synagogue."
@watsoncomedian Not only are you one of the best comedians I've ever seen, also I was given "Contacts" as a Christmas present last year and loved it so much that I now have to buy and read all your other books.
Anyone saying weed isn’t a performance enhancing drug for an Olympic 100m athlete hasn’t seen how fast a stoner from Shettleston can get down the tenement stairs when the ice cream van comes.
My dad used to sing "Carey" every time we were on a beach. I don't think I ever heard the original song until after he died (in '07): "Oh, that's Dad's beach song!" Now it's one of my favourite songs ever.
Blue, @jonimitchell’s landmark 1971 album, turns 50 today 💫
