Last night I found a 50 year old Rupert the Bear annual on the charity bookshelf at Barrow-in-Furness railway station. The content was a little raunchier than I remember.

Listen to Johnnie Walker talk about his time at Radio 1 in the #Radio1Vintage programme I put together in 2017. Great innings JW. You made a difference. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Just helped a relative get their car from the pound (they forgot to display their blue badge, and it got towed). Get this: we stood at the counter and had to email the necessary documents to the person behind the counter. She then printed them out. And then scanned them in again.

I’m off work a bit poorly, so thought I’d give daytime TV a try. Goodness. EVERY advert is a charity campaign. Abandoned animals, homelessness, child cruelty… It’s a total assault on the feels. (Also, a damning reflection of the UK right now)

I never believe these top tens. Are they universal or tailored?

You absolutely could change the approach to ticketing @glastonbury.bsky.social. Instead of a digital bunfight that the technology can’t support, you could do a ballot like Olympics or World Cup tickets. A gentle two week application period, pay upfront, refund if unsuccessful.

Pleased to join BlueSky, in the hope we can recreate some of the creative, fun, and safe interactions we used to have on Twitter.
