When @ericidle.bsky.social came over to host SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE in 1977, he brought Neil Innes over as his musical guest, and Neil reprised his RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION role of The Rutles' Ron Nasty, performing his Lennon pastiche "Cheese & Onions"...

Think they were busy searching for 'Reds under the bed'!

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

If you're cheering Trump on then you have no right to call yourself a patriot.

You absolute moron.

I implore you to read the alt text, and then repeat for the whole thread

A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

Nothing to see here, just a GB News presenter suggesting the BBC bung Donald Trump a few million of license fee payers' money.

BBC board member with Tory links ‘led charge’ in systemic bias claims, say insiders Sources say Robbie Gibb amplified criticisms of Trump, Gaza and trans rights coverage, and had ‘a lot of oxygen in the room’

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Think it's Lennon's John Sinclair, and only one has got to the 'set him free' part on time after the got-ta refrain.

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.

It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.

During lockdown the then Chancellor Sunak told people to leave creative jobs and get business back on its feet. I decided at that moment (different than any before it) to fly my freak flag high, to put aside a lifetime's aversion to the ISB and embrace them to my heart. It's going well.

On the whole these are excellent! I've no objection to the stripping out of sax, flutes, etc, with one exception - I think We're All Water (the best track on STINYC) loses something from the absence of the railroad-chugging saxophone. But I'm sure I'll get used to it with repeated playing.

My BFI Classic on The Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night is available to preorder now. Here’s the story behind it. I love the cover - inspired by the film poster and a key theme in the book: the power of television in transmitting the Beatles to the world. samiraahmed.blog/why-i-wrote-...

For years, I have used a Thai street food vendor in Wimbledon for lunch. Today, I am going to try the Polish vendor next to it. I'm contemplating a disguise!

GTF Out!

Like Truss before him, he's gone the full Icke, hasn't he?

An absolutely superb listen, as always (trad.arr/me) 😉

My pleasure ...

Chelsea Morning (with The John Cameron Group) - Live on Top Gear, BBC Radio, London, England, 9/23/1968

And just a couple of months ago, I found this version of Joni Mitchell doing Chelsea Morning in session for the BBC. By now, I didn’t need to check the credits, because I knew immediately it was Danny Thompson. He lifted everything he ever played on. RIP open.spotify.com/track/72CY4C...

Danny Thompson has died. His work with Pentangle, especially his work with John Martyn...

Jazzy, fluid, honey-like, shoulder-rolling and other terms that I'm going to struggle for because I can't write about music for toffee. But anyway. He was amazing and glorious and what a legacy he's left us.

Standout stat from today's county cricket? Northants bowling 99 overs!! Old school over-rate! And a lesson to others.
