1. Sky commentator: So, pundit, who's your player of the match?
2. Camera cuts to pundit's choice for player of the match.
3. Pundit reveals identity of player of the match.

You'd think after all these years they'd've learned to do 2 and 3 the other way round.

Fans of my old radio show ONE will be delighted to learn that some sketches by me and @danielmaier.bsky.social from that brilliant comedy series are reprinted in this charming book.

Sorry, the BBC, Munoz has *what* himself into Crystal Palace’s history books?

Don’t belatedly catch up on White Lotus AND Alien: Earth with subtitles unless you *really* like things ‘chittering’.

Bit tasteless trailing the next part in the corner like this. Still, I’m guessing: drowning.

Particularly at village fêtes.

I’ll tell you what happens far more for dramatic purposes in films than it ever does in real life: cars backfiring.

Fab. That I would love to see.

I enjoyed sharing my brainspew on Laura's podcast - as reffed herein. Check it out!

#nufcrounduppalindromes Ho! Ekitike on radar? No Ekitike. Oh.

I’m sure I’m the millionth to say it, but I’ve just realised that watching this is the equivalent of it being around the time of Live Aid day and watching footage of the VE Day celebrations. #liveaid

Crowd already drifting away from Neil
Young to try to see Charli XCX. #liveaid

Crosby, Pat from Ghosts and Mick McCarthy. #liveaid

Nice to see Aladdin Sane looking so well though. #liveaid

It was only a matter of time til Fucking Ray Cooper showed up. #liveaid

I feel embarrassed for The Who watching them completely balls up Won’t Get Fooled Again even though it was 40 years ago and they’re probably over it. #liveaid

I’ve read approx 30 Agatha Christies. Other than that…Enid Blyton, Iain Banks and James Herbert? Quite the dinner party.
