Thank you for the reminder of the time Jason Manford issued a notes apology because his tribute to Brucie being under the Palladium unintentionally sounded like he is in Hell.

I'll be doing a select few events after it's out.

The Goblin Maket will be cool.

Sinead gets it!

Ok Bluesky, how are you for this kind of thing… what manner of bee is this? It was SO BIG, I thought it was a hornet but it wasn’t hard and shell-y, it had fur! Help me bee experts #bee #insect #insectID

This is better than I could ever have imagined!!

Antiques and High in Oxford - if I can’t have him I want you to!

Please spill!

Me: why doesn’t your son take over the restaurant?

Owner of the restaurant (they’ve been trying to sell for years): well, he doesn’t quite know what he wants to do. He’s only 26 years old….

My husband (as the owner walked away): Napoleon was Commander of the Army of the Interior when he was 26.

Haha, I initially thought Bernard Bresslaw, as did two others on twitter!

I just know every single day of my life I’m going to regret not buying this £119 Royal Doulton bust of Kenneth Williams! Every single day!

So excited that my book with Kristina Gaddy, "Go Back and Fetch It: Early Black Music in the Americas for Fiddle and Banjo” is almost out in the world!!!

Overheard here in Oxford
‘Daddy, can you ask us another question about Guinea pigs?’
‘No.’

Hello again Some months ago the company that sold me my air fryer got in touch to tell me they were issuing a recall on the model I owned because it had been bursting into flames! I ignored this recall notice because it seemed like a faff to take a photo of the bottom of the air fryer, and then post it to an address, and then wait for a new replacement air fryer, and anyway while others had been bursting into flames I thought the chances of mine bursting into flames were minimal. I assumed recalls had to be issued, legally, as soon as more than, lets say, two air fryers burst into flames, but that realistically, statistically, the chances of it happening to mine were very slim. Anyway, this morning my air fryer burst into flames! I simply don't know what the lesson here is. In other news...

Hard relate to this opener to @annasavory.bsky.social’s latest newsletter - and also the only air fryer story you’ll ever need

@annasavory.bsky.social, @johnrain.co.uk I bloody love a horror portmanteau, and I bloody love @smershpod.com. Been listening back to your Amicus episodes while working and enjoyed them all over again.

Nothing to add, just wanted to say thanks and share something positive on a Friday.

Theres a new edition of my newsletter out in which I share a pretty mind blowing theory about cocks and balls and art! Click to read for free (for a small contribution you can unlock my weird art!)

Oh sorry, did I say ‘thank you’ at the end of the call like a decent human? I meant, of course, ‘I hope you all burn’

I’m in the middle of applying for PIP during the worst time in history to do that, great to know that my laughter (!) and basic politeness will count against me in this process.

A while ago, a friend literally took me upstairs to show me her etchings. Luckily, we were both autistic, so absolutely zero fucking happened and I looked at some nice etchings.

I know this is much remarked upon but, socially, now, we can all watch TikTok videos full blast without any headphones on public transport & its the worst thing we’ve ever allowed as a society - listening to a different irritating noise every three seconds is going to be what kills me.

From the nettle - danger, we pluck the flower… further danger. This week come foraging with me! Behind the paywall the lighter side of poisoning myself!

I cannot urge you strongly enough to subscribe to my newsletter. Please subscribe to my newsletter - it’s free, or you can pay a small amount to access, this week, a story about my poisoning myself! But the great bulk of it is free. Please subscribe!

So, this Unbound thing... There's gonna be lawsuits, right? It really feels like there should be lawsuits

Had to switch off notifications to this due to the sheer number of people who felt the urge to contact me individually to let me know the life expectancy of the American male. Did you know middle age starts the moment you’re halfway through your life so you won’t know you’re in it until you’re dead.
