HIVE MIND -
I’m touring my one man version of A Christmas Carol this December; got a bunch of dates in BUT I’ve got an annoying gap: 14th - 17th.
Been waiting to hear from some venues but can’t wait any longer.
I donate 50% of my cut to local charities
Any small (<100 seat)f venues interested?

So we're really at the stage where conservative politicians and pundits consider anything north of screaming proscribed epithets into ethnic faces as "not racist". But we'll get there on that behviour too, and our media will both-sides it when it comes.

Clocks have gone what now?
That explains a lot

A night out with my stepdad in the mid 90s; the band in The Cartoon was rubbish, so we went to the Nowhere Inn Particular, where this was on the jukebox

What’s one song that instantly transports you to a moment in your life? 🎧
Mine’s “Way Over Yonder” — it always feels like home.

Did you coordinate this...?

Trouser leg of time moment, 18 years ago today: my first gig in nearly 6 years
Pretty much everything else has changed since that day, but still representing @gogosofficial.bsky.social anywhere I go 🤘🏻
Happy birthday, Charlotte 🎂

Because they don't want him outside the tent pissing in...?

Can't say he doesn't know his target audience

I bet that ceiling was a bugger to paper...

Oh, it's not his head where the mango Mussolini lives
Easy mistake to make, cos it's where he talks out of

Incentives to hit sales targets in the financial services sector far outweigh any incentive to report AML suspicions
Regulatory fines are just another overhead, paid for by writing even more debt of questionable provenance

"So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cos there's bugger all down here on earth"

You can no longer be a Labour MP

[sending birthday messages to convicted paedophile, sex trafficker and "best pal" Jeffrey Epstein then continuing contact after his first conviction]

Well now hold on a second he's said he's sorry jeez

Why the FUCK aren't media outlets - including the fucking BBC - making more noise about this???

I am so fucking sick of double standards.

Why does Robotman blink...? 🤔

Not defending any tax dodging obvs, but I suspect we'll be waiting for quite some time for the same level of outrage over the tax affairs of politicians who aren't women, left wing or working class.

Why is no-one in any position of power IN OUR BLOODY COUNTRY calling Farage out like this?

...all that actually means is that the subsequent governments were worse and the one before was better
I'm not sure that's the endorsement he thinks it is

I've only felt unsafe in London once in 50 years. It was a couple of years ago on Armistice Day, when a bunch of short-haired, middle-aged white blokes -people who ostensibly look like me- went to 'defend our monuments'

-Del Amitri's Into The Mirror cos nobody writes like Justin & Iain
-Bluebonnets' Play Loud cos nobody plays like Kathy & Eve (or Kathy's solo album?🤔)
-And I don't leave home without some Alice Cooper, so probably A Paranormal Evening cos the current band is the best I've seen him with

Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile

Still peeved that it took me so long to see The Pretenders live!

The television recommended a horror film starring Peter Cushing as a dermatologist.
Fucking hell, I thought, that's a bit niche in the battle of good vs evil. I'll give it a look.
