Sir Rod Stewart, his amazing band and singers absolutely rocked the Pyramid stage at #Glastonbury2025. The man is 80 and he's showing just how it's done. Watch and learn, you silly little kids with your backing tracks, your Autotune and your flashing lights! #Glastonbury

Many people living in our block of flats (Du Cane Court in Balham) are elderly and don't have email - they're missing hospital appointments and not paying bills. The situation is untenable - God knows when something will be done. 2/2

We live in SW17 and we have had no post for ten days. The Royal Mail Tooting sorting office is apparently in total chaos. We have been getting deliveries around once a week since just after Christmas. 1/2

I was Johnnie Walker's agent for a short time in the early 1970s. He was a delightful man with an esoteric taste in music, a skilled and highly professional broadcaster. These days when anybody can have a show on music radio, the passing of a true radio jock is a sad day indeed. RIP, my old pal.

This was the stuff of legend. Can't wait to hear what all the idiot Corden haters have to say! #GavinAndStacey

As usual, we will not be sending Christmas cards but will donate to a local charity. This will not be the #WandsworthFoodBank WandsworthFB as we have donated to them three years running and they never even sent an acknowledgement. So hello #CarerWandsworth.

I don't know who is advising #greggwallace but they're making an absolute pig's ear of it. Allowing him to make that stupid video was appalling. As someone with experience of crisis management PR, my advice couldn't have been more different.

Please don’t sing along to Wicked in the cinema – it is deeply embarrassing | Patrick Lenton Hey, frustrated theatre kids: no one is going to musicals to hear you sing. And don’t listen to the Rock – some of us actually want to hear the film we’ve paid to see

I can't believe that people think it's acceptable to sing along loudly in a cinema. Disgusting, selfish behaviour. www.theguardian.com/film/2024/no... #wicked

What a wonderful evening at last night's Royal Variety Performance! Over 5,000 people in the beautiful Royal Albert Hall enjoying fabulous entertainment while supporting our amazing Charity. HM The King was, as always, charming, engaging and genuinely interested in the Charity.

Royal Variety Line-Up Announcement | Royal Variety Charity The official website of the Royal Variety Charity & The Royal Variety Performance.

Not usually a variety show fan but this lineup has me reconsidering: the first Royal Variety Charity in the presence of patron King Charles III features Elton John, Penn & Teller, and the casts of Oliver!, Starlight Express and The Devil Wears Prada.

Wouldn't it be great if this place stayed non-toxic, unlike the ghastliness of Twitter/X.
