I'm trying to think of something to put out to mark the 150th anniversary (on April 1st) of Lewis Carroll's HUNTING OF THE SNARK. Maybe this single? (Comments welcome)…

🙏 Thanks. It wasn’t successful in the UK though. Very big in Europe South Africa, Australasia.

That’s lovely. Was your father a musician? Well obviously. What was his name?

Oops- it’s WORLD BOOK DAY and I haven’t even mentioned my autobiography #TheClosestThingToCrazy . It must be my modest disposition. 😬

You can’t fool me- that toilet is actually made of cake, - and very clever it is, too! (Jane Asher, perchance?)

The depictions of Wellington and Tobermory lead me to think that this is “new regime” merchandise rather than vintage. Is that right, Frederick?

Album cover for the CD release of Mike Batt's The Hunting of the Snark.

Well, you learn something new every day - today it's that @mikebatt.bsky.social wrote the song used as the theme tune for BBC's Big Break. Performed by Captain Sensible, The Snooker Song appeared on The Hunting of the Snark, which I've just acquired and am listening to for the first time!

Even on the Avalon (one of the prestigious Glasto stages) at GLASTONBURY 2011 we still lost £17k doing our 1 hour fully live set, after rehearsals, costumes, etc, though we pulled double the capacity, biggest crowd for our Sunday pm time, including the Pyramid stage, according to Glasto management

I got up yesterday morning to find flowers and an envelope saying "Happy 41st". I thought "41st what?". I'd forgotten our wedding anniversary but Jules hadn't. She'd crept outta bed and slipped downstairs. Here we are last night at Cent Anni, our fave Italian restaurant in Wimbledon! Durrh. 🫢 ❤️

Thanks- but them’s the rules. If you only get to number 2, you don’t make some lists. Having said that, Wizzard only made number 2 the year before we had our Wombles #2. So scratch that! 🎅🏻

I hear they are letting Indian folks from Ireland into the States now. At least, they said "Cork Asian" so I guess they meant that.

Reading all these posts from vile people rejoicing in the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, and it really reminds you how evil the Trump cult is. There's Hell on Earth. Made me think of this old song of mine. "DON'T TRUST THE ANGELS"
