Apple Music has just informed me that Bess Atwell’s new album arrived a few days ago, and, well, that’s a lovely, mellow listen for me for this afternoon.

Sat on a bench in the park, while an old bloke shouts to his Very Good Dog “Have you done all your wee wees?” then demands a kiss from him.

Fair play to the lad.

“I’ve told you, your girlfriend’s not here”, he’s just told the dog. “Do you want to wait to see if she comes?”

Dude’s over here living a good time with his buddy.

Accompanied my good wife to a physio appointment in a council run sports centre, where children on half term appear to be doing gymnastics to Iron Maiden.

I think having a large platform is not good for people

@urlyman I sometimes wish I had more followers and was Extremely Popular.

Then very occasionally I post something that vibes just right and I get loads of boosts and replies and I realise that I do not want that at all actually.

At the weekend I saw two canal boats, with same livery, named Kano and Plan B. I need to know which other names have arisen from this particular boatbuilder.

@ametonym The Stormzy is much better suited to the open ocean than their other builds.

Haven't kept up with politics recently: might watch PMQs today to see what's going on

@sodslawyer It’ll be the most enjoyable PMQ’s in something like 5 years.

@MevsMatze Did you also cycle through several movies in that franchise before landing on the right one?

Uh-huh, whatever. You knew I was a snake when you clutched me to your breast.

@GeePawHill I opened my radio show with that very tune this week, because it’s a solid gold banger.

Btw, absolutely shocked that “CUNTY” isn’t in the Wordle dictionary.

CUNTS is though, if you were after a new starter word.

Went to a concert with my son last night. Wasn’t my choice but it was a really nice concert. I’m just very tired this morning with less than 6 hours of sleep, but sadly the office awaits.

@RomanticIsa Looks like a proper rock band, as the lead guitarist has a Flying V.

Just saw a post about how The Flintstones movie came out 30 years ago, and honestly, I think that movie was a slab of genius.

Sure, the story is kinda dumb, but the loving care with which they created the whole world around it was worth the price of the ticket alone. ‘50s surburban Americana with Stone Age technology that looked for all the world like it was filmed in a theme park.

I was 13 on holiday in the US with my Dad, and it was perfect.

Thinking more on this, I think a large part of why The Flintstones movie lives on in my affection is because it has a physicality that I don’t think you’d get so much now.

Sure, there was CGI in 1994, but you won’t really find it here. All the sets were physical, all the effects practical. If made today, the dinosaurs would all be CGI. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it feels like an easier thing, somehow.

I should have suggested this song to @DJDarren for his Animal themed show. John K Samson is a truly gifted lyricist who should be better known outside his native Winnipeg.

@Bez_Lightyear I was explicitly banned from playing any of the Virtute songs, because my wife knows how sad they make me. I love them entirely, but yeah, they wreck me.

Considering it’s treated as nothing more than a comedy song (because, to be fair, it is very, very funny), there’s no reason for Horse Outside to be such an incredible tune. I’m actually annoyed that I didn’t think of it for last night’s show.

@imalcolm I once heard an interview with Blindboy where admitted that Spastic Hawk was written in the style of Bill Callahan, which introduced me to the albums of Smog.

Sure, he’s a funny Irish guy with a bag on his head, but he’s also deeply intelligent.

@DJDarren I can only apologise for not being a 'Live Clive'. I got into some gin with a friend and ended up..... distracted. However am thoroughly enjoying catching up and your comment on Pulled Apart By Horses made me do an actual lol. Another smashing show.

@TheBreadmonkey It’s just such a wilfully stupid concept, and I love it so much. No one actually believes he punched a lion in the throat, but fair play to the lad.

Glad you enjoyed it though 😊

@TheBreadmonkey I wrote to my Tory MP about this, and he replied that rain - British rain - is a good thing actually, and that it was delivering fewer forrins because they don’t like getting wet.

@lionelb You wouldn’t expect long legs on a dachshund, would you?
