Cant wait!

Robert Elms: BLITZ The Club That Created the 80's Join acclaimed author and broadcaster Robert Elms as he discusses his new book on the hugely influential Blitz Club.

We are going on the road!

What an honour!

This week

We’ve been a bit quiet on here recently but we are announcing two very exciting events this week including our biggest audience event at another venue which is very, very exciting

Tv adverts where people spontaneously break out into dance should be banned - expressing the excitement of a cheap insurance deal through dance is just wrong

I just saw and fact checked an interesting claim.

Robert Jenrick posted a video where vigilante style he confronts a fare dodger on the Tube, and claims that Khan's London is the Wild West.

Actually, the crime rate in his constituency is higher than London.

Go to Newark, Jenrickman...

We will be showing the England and Wales games for the 2025 Women’s Euros on the big screen

So sorry to hear that Robin x

Assuming the the whole of E10 and E11 are on their way to Wembley Stadium

About 25 years ago my parents bought us the set of five pans in the pine holder / rack thing. Apparently that's going for about £750 these days - maybe rather than a pension I should have just bought le Cruset

I saw a le crueset saucepan in the heart foundation in Loughton for £125 .... worlds gone made

YOU CAN FIND THE FULL WORLDWIDE LIST OF INDEPENDENT RECORD STORES, WHERE YOU CAN LISTEN TO AUDIO FRAGMENTS FROM "MIXES OF A LOST WORLD" AT THECURE.COM/MOALW/

THE UNIQUE RECORDS WILL THEN BE AUCTIONED OFF WITH ALL PROCEEDS GOING TO WARCHILD

That's gonna be a lot of Saturday matches for United next season... one of the few teams not in Europe...ouch

I was in Staffordshire this weekend and had a wonderful ploughman's lunch in a cafe in a village hall...

With the level of grift coming from the usual characters where have they left to go for the next 4 years. I've just seen Keir described as the worst leader in 300 years - hopefully they'll all implode with their own gammon energy

Lovely place

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

Judging by how the grifting bots on the other place have gone into meltdown, tomorrow's Europe deal is a very, very good thing.

A book with a joyous figure of a mam in blue with words normally weird weirdly normally as a title. There is also a lambanana coaster.

Had such an energising evening on Tuesday at the magnificent @thewansteadtap.bsky.social listening to @robinince.bsky.social to talk about the book (well indirectly) Total tonic.

As much as I absolutely love #thiscityisours why does everyone whisper? Is everyone afraid of being overheard? Speak up!!

Paperback publication day is today. Join us! @thewansteadtap.bsky.social

Wembley! Wembley!

Sitting in the garden with a beer, gentle sunshine, a Warren Zevon playlist and the sound of my potato's growing around me

Incredibile (& slightly exhausting) evening, listening to @robinince.bsky.social talking about… well, just about everything - including his new book at the Wanstead Tap

Good luck to all the young people
Doing their A levels....

Meet Monique Roffey launching paperback of Passiontide on Thursday. A great read.
