Later, I'll be conducting a paranormal experiment to see if the spirit world can point the way to tonight's winning EuroMillions numbers.

To be honest, it'll be something of ghost code lottery πŸŽƒ

I've been told that the fish in Wales have a fondness for locally-baked bread.

So here I am by the river, waiting with baited Brith.

Saddened to hear of the death of actress Prunella Scales. Most famous for playing Sybil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers. In 1981 she was teasing her neighbours by eating Birds Eye Plaice in Sauce. RIP Prunella

RIP Prunella Scales. Does so much with a fag, a box of chocolates, and little more than three words.

β€˜Our last heritage asset’: fears for Walsall Leather Museum as council plans to sell Protesters say selling building to local college could end a trade dating back to middle ages, if new premises not found

A local story that has gone national. Sadly indicative of uncaring attitudes towards museums and heritage assets by those who should be safeguarding what's left of our history.
Please share if you can.

A lorry carrying Chamomile Tea has joined a tailback of lorries carrying Bath Salts and Aromatherapy Oils.

It's the latest in a long line of traffic calming measures.

I'm on standby for Strictly Icons Week. I plan to dance as Abraham Darby, inventor of the coke-fired blast furnace and hoover up votes from industrial history-minded dance fans.

The very idea of a sitcom set in a grim Victorian prison seemed to some (like Kenneth Williams) to be a misstep. Who on earth would want to spend time in that environment? Ultimately, Ronnie Barker's performance helped make Porridge a triumph that I will happily keep returning to. 2/2

Ronnie Barker, who passed away 20 years ago today, was a true master of all aspects of TV comedy. My one-time tutor, the late great Ian Davidson, once told me jokingly that 'Ronnie B thought he could do everything better than everyone else... and he was usually right'. 1/2

"She said, "I've left my culottes on the Underground, it was trainee day at the bikini waxers and I've got a raging case of pre-menstrual tension," all this in a voice loud enough to blow the froth off the top of a Horlicks two tables away!"

Patricia Routledge RIP x

Sad to hear of the passing of Dame Patricia Routledge, one of our finest comedy and character actresses. Such an amazing career which included bringing to life one of THE great comedy creations, Hyacinth Bucket, and starring in a Broadway musical with Vincent Price 😞
