I'd suggest that someone who is likely to be influenced by Trump telling them to watch GB News is probably already watching GB News.

Word of the day: kompromat. Compromising information collected for use in blackmailing, discrediting, or manipulating someone, typically for political purposes.

A chap sees my copy of Spirit Of Eden by Talk Talk hanging behind me. He tells me a mate lent him his copy, and he never gave it back - he didn't realise how much it cost! So I (jokingly) suggest he sells it to me and doesn't tell his mate #sellingvinyl

A lot of my new stock is hard to find 90s albums, such as Radiohead and Portishead. A young fella gets excited seeing the new albums - almost as excited as I am having them to sell! He then invests heavily. #sellingvinyl

When I was in my early 20s, a number of people told me that I looked like Morten Harket.

Sadly, they don't tell me that these days!! πŸ˜‚

Really tickles me the number of people who think that someone would post a confession about something they made up anonymously

River Wye pollution prompts UK's largest environmental lawsuit Livestock and water companies are accused of β€œextensive” pollution in the Wye, Lugg and Usk rivers.

This is great to see and I really hope they win. But why on earth is it up to individuals to take action against farming companies and water companies? Surely that is what a watchdog is supposed to be for. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A quote from Daniel Crosby from a forthcoming Financial Wellbeing Podcast episode: "The people around us are a much better predictor of our behaviours than our goals or our values".

Tip: If you follow a grifter (someone doom spreading on social media in order to get followers), it will be making you unhappy. Just unfollow them.

There is so much positivity and joy out there, if you choose to look for it

It is the time of year when we are reminded of the glorious joy that can be had from saying the word: mulch.

I have never been a fan of the Cheers titles - mainly because of the music. But this has made me reconsider the images. All those lives, memorialised in a strange context. Ghost actors playing a role.

Long chat (well, listening to!) possibly the biggest XTC fan in the world! Lots of great stories, culminating in the time he had a cup of tea with Andy Partridge! #sellngvinyl
