I first went to Denton when I was around 6 or 7 years old to see an orthodontist. Naturally I thought Denton was where all the dentists come from.

Absolutely thrilled to wake up to a new Green MP having been elected; THIS is how you stick it to the establishment! 😁 πŸ’š

Not as popular as the Four Seasons or the Gloria, but I've heard good things...

I've decided after the 7 day free trial that I no longer want to continue with 2026 and would like to cancel my subscription. Thanks

2025 from a political and global perspective was pretty wtf on so many levels.

Despite all of that, I have had a year with many good things to be grateful for. In particular, I have pet so many dogs. I hope 2026 brings me more dogs to pet.

Btw my source on this is that I WAS THERE. It launched on my 10th birthday so I watched it.

Fun fact: The very first advert to ever play on Channel 5 was for Chanel no.5.

Indeed, but without all the perks of things like traffic lights priority!

Not surprising when it's an LRT in name only and seems to function almost entirely as a streetcar!

London Labour MPs 'sh*tting it' over the Green Party surge Halloween may be over for the rest of us, but for Labour MPs every day is the scariest time of the year now that the Green Party is surging

I'm going to put it out there, that if you have to have a cognitive test that maybe, just maybe, it should disqualify you from the presidency...

Has anyone else noticed that the first letter of each verse of 'The Day Thou Gavest Lord Has Ended' spells out TWATS? #choir

I'm very excited to be spending next week in Chichester participating in the Girton Conducting Course! There's some great repertoire on the menu, including Brahms 4 and Copland's Appalachian Spring (chamber version).

'Squid Game' is an anagram of 'aged quims'.

Wow, does this mean the BBC and all other media outlets will now give equal air time to the Green party, who have the same number of MPs??

On Tuesday July 1st I have two pieces being performed by the Loveday Singers, 'In Flanders Fields' and 'The Key To Change'. If you are around Woking or can get there easily I thoroughly recommend you check out the concert, they are a superb choir!

B16 present β€˜To the Sea…’ Sat 7. June at 19:00 - 20:00

I'm singing in this, it's going to be amazing. The timing is even civilised enough that you could easily travel to Brighton from a city such as London to come and watch it! (The venue is around 10 mins walk from the Brighton station)
