If you're wondering what Captain Tom's daughter is up to these days, she's joined Kasabian.

Turns out AI really stands for Annoying Interference.

Stop putting it everywhere. Every day use cases are largely irritating and pointless.

If Kneecap are ever forced to change their name, they should be called NΓ©ecap.

Take That's profile pic on Spotify is hilarious. Gary has indigestion after a pub lunch half-way on a country walk. He doesn't know if he can continue.

Gary: I knew that Ploughman's was a mistake.
Mark: Take your time.
Howard: Looks like it's going to rain, anyway. We can do the rest another day.

That's it. Edinburgh Fringe is over for 2025. To commemorate this, I recreated the ending of Breaking Bad. You can watch it on my Instagram account here:

Today, I had more Edinburgh Fringe punters in via @mrjamesob.bsky.social. They helpfully identified themselves with their quiz team name 'The James O'Brien Appreciation Society'.

I also had a five-star review published today:

21 shows now done, three to go.

UK police have now started seizing Palpatine action figures.

They come with a walking stick too.

I had my first confirmed Fringe punter today who came from my appearance on Mystery Hour via @mrjamesob.bsky.social. Although he failed to correctly answer who invented darts. Which is, of course, the Earl of Dartmouth.

How To Win A Pub Quiz runs until 25 Aug.

What is the meaning of this? Tempting Tattie in Edinburgh has had a makeover and removed The Richard Herring from its menu. Massively disrespectful to man who has dedicated so much time to eating baked potatoes there @herring1967.bsky.social

Basically, if you give your right foot a thorough massage, your right arm will then appear about two or three inches longer than your left arm when you compare them. Then if you massage your left foot and compare arms afterwards, they'll look the same length again.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social

It is I, Alex of the strange foot question fame. I'm taking a trivia-based show to Edinburgh Fringe next month called How To Win A Pub Quiz. It's part stand-up, part actual pub quiz. I think Mystery Hour fans will like it

Keir Starmer is the political equivalent of a bed sheet that absorbs the smells of whatever it comes into contact with.

From Reform, it's stale ale and cheap cigarettes. From the Labour right, it's various types of mouldy excrement from 2010.

I queued for hours for an Oasis ticket for Edinburgh, but didn't succeed. It cost some people thousands.

I'm not missing out. I may also lose thousands from the Oasis gig due to the extreme accommodation costs stopping people from going to the Fringe and seeing my show.

Thanks again for Brexit, you tits.

In my reporter days, every time I went to a parish council meeting, they had a hidden agenda.

I hid it to try and get them to stop talking.

While Andor is up there with some of the very best of Star Wars, I am gutted they never went to Dantooine. And we still haven't seen it in live action.

Mainly because of all the countless hours I've spent pissing about on there on KOTOR.

Wow. What a last line. "I'm Andor. Andor Skywalker." In many ways the whole show was just building up to that moment.
