So, things are tough right now, but here’s a picture of our cat being a little dope. Hope you have a lovely Sunday! Xx

No album with ‘What goes on’ on it can be at the top of the pile, surely?

If Obama was ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ then Trump is ‘Spies Like Us’ and I will not be taking questions about this.

m.soundcloud.com/paulstaveley... This is one of my favourites from Paul McCartney’s ‘Run Devil Run’ album. Not a very original take on it (I copied it from Paul obvs) but here’s my version. Hope you enjoy, fellow Beatles fans!

@footballramble.bsky.social Honestly if this would have been the quality of the super league, I say let them get on with it.

Well, glad I tuned in to the Newcastle game today 🙄

You’re in charge of Decca records in January 1962. A band from Liverpool comes in, and instead of turning them down you agree to sign them on three conditions.

What are those conditions?

(Try and remove all your knowledge of what was to come, if such a thing is possible 😂)

I’ve seen a few posts saying Anne Hathaway is ‘a national treasure’ and ‘someone you’d go to war for’ because she was having a nice time at the Super Bowl.

Hot. That’s what you mean guys. She’s incredibly beautiful. Being at a sports game doesn’t make her a national treasure.

Read this while listening to a mix of my new album, and humbling as it is, you’re definitely right.

I see the “I didn’t like the half time show, so it must be rubbish” people are out in force.

I’m not a huge Kendrick fan either, so I just gave it a miss and by all accounts it was excellent. So everyone’s happy. Good stuff.

THIS is one of the things it’s ok not to have an opinion on.

Doing well thanks Sean, much love.

Went to a fortune teller the other day and she said that in 7-8 years' time I'm going to experience a devastating loss. So to cheer myself up, I bought a puppy!

If the entire Arsenal crowd hasn’t worked out some kind of ‘Stay Humble’ chant for the end of this match it’ll be a massively wasted opportunity.

I enjoyed Moonraker more too, but I’m afraid Golden Gun was as much of a struggle as it ever has been. What’s coming out as your favourite overall?

I’m re-evaluating my rankings more than I thought I would during this revisit. Any big surprises for you?

Are you also on a Roger Moore bond rewatch? Me too!

That first bloke looks like an absolute chap doesn’t he? Doesn’t like the Beatles and almost certainly thinks the homeless are to blame for their own situation.

Happy Rooftop Day Beatle fans. The songs they performed might not be the absolute best songs they ever wrote, but honestly 'One After 909' and 'I've Got a Feeling' are the sounds of the best band of all time being exactly that. Absolutely superb stuff, could listen to it for the rest of my life.

Thing is with the White Album, is not whether or not it should have been a single album. It’s whether or not it could/should have been two single albums. And I don’t think it could have. ‘Wild Honey Pie’ isn’t going on a standard issue Beatles album and getting away with it. Double album - job done.

I’m a big fan of Sabalenka, she seems incredibly likeable, but it’s nice to see a new Grand Slam champion, and one who played out of her skin to get it too. Her semi final and final performances are for the ages. Just brilliant. #AusOpen

Wow, Madison Keys, take a bow - what a performance! #AusOpen

That’s what I wondered, maybe she’s put so much into that first set there’s no way she can keep it up and nerves etc will start to creep in.

Feels strangely like Sabalenka is going to win this despite playing at about 4% of her actual capacity. Amazing first set from Keys though, so maybe she will have enough in the tank.

I mean, to be fair, no wonder they’re struggling this season if he’s their youngest player.

Djokovic is a professional athlete, and one of the best of all time. He doesn’t ‘owe’ it to Alcaraz to let him win so y’all don’t have to put up with Zverev in the final, that’s not how it works. And I doubt that’s what Carlos would want either.

Hang on, did I just see someone considering two things at the same time and being sensible and thoughtful about a post? My god I’ve missed that.

Agree - shame he retired but they should know he doesn’t do that unless he has to. But he does channel pantomime villain a bit too much too.

Well well well, are we finally going to see Zverev win a major? Can’t see him getting past Sinner but he might overpower Shelton. Fascinating second semi final awaits! #AusOpen
