What exactly are British Nationalists…hard to see where such a group comes from.

Also love her collaboration with Gwilym Simcock.

Pigeons are fundamentally awful.

Absolutely none of you seem to understand the very difficult, unenviable position the BBC as a media organisation is in at the moment, especially news. It’s a wonder anything happens…let alone yet another record breaking Proms season.

Sorry, football is mostly awful with some occasional amazing bits. Unfortunately blokes aren’t allowed to not like it so I β€˜skim’ it just so I don’t seem like a total loser (mmmm, this sounds like a @fesshole.bsky.social post….).

This from Starmer is more passionate and human than he often appears. And he’s absolutely right!

I gather he’s not a big drinker from people who should know but if he was a functioning alcoholic (sic) at least he’d have an excuse for looking like a rotting sack potatoes….

This man is such an awful human being….maybe he can be replaced by AI.

Does it still have the stream flowing through the back of the John?

Can’t wait to listen to this.

Lovely to see the positive of Yamaha gear on here. They have transformed both student and high end professional brass instruments in the last 20years.

Haven’t seen this yet but I love her (and others) in I, Tonya. She’s a real star in so many ways, possibly discredited by some for her beauty…

Much as I liked him as an intelligent musician, most of David Bowie’s songs were a bit meh

The best (and most predictable) response to a film moment I experienced was when the we accompanied Jaws on the big screen (and it is huge) at the Albert Hall and Brody says that immortal movie line β€œWe’re going to need a bigger boat”. The sound of thousands of people cheering….amazing!

Such a shame she lost her seat…she would’ve made a great culture secretary. Nandy seems to be obsessed with football and all things northern.

Yes, but isn’t that (quietly) the point….

I am in despair at the levels of class related bullshit that this country and its politicians are capable of….maybe we should try and export that.

Lovely to see the German team managed by Mourinho’s brother, Hoseb….
