The wonderful New World Symphony at the Proms tonight, available on iPlayer.

Studied it for A-level along with Bartok, Haydn and Stockhausen.

17-year-old me had no idea how lucky he was!

Life goals.

Everything I’d hoped for in life.

Very much looking forward to the Citrus Pale, a summer banker!

Not long enough, I fear.

Vinyl Night.

A little ponderous and wasn’t mad about the trip-hop remix. Nice sausages tho.

Table 267, a favourite, bites the dust at the Fox in the Hill. Wrote some of my best emails on this feller.

The @burtonbridgebrew.bsky.social Stairway to Heaven is, well, Heavenly.

Described as a bitter, looks like a light, comes on like a pale, hoppy like an IPA. Wonderfully, deliciously confusing.

I urge you to try it.

My year of skiving religiously.

All aboard for next Saturday?

I’ll be at the Shirker’s from noon and on the first bus to the Rusty at 1.30pm

Would anyone like to come over and moisturise my feet? Five pounds. Dm for my bank details.

Might have to do this, Jo!

You know what, that has helped a bit, Emma.

Jealous of those at @theshirkersrest.bsky.social tonight. Free Neals Yard cheese with every pint of @kernelbrewery.bsky.social Running Porter.

May have some old Gran Padano in the back of the fridge 😭

An article in the JD Wetherspoon magazine about the introduction of spice bags to the menu.

They're selling spice bags in Wetherspoons, man. The greatest decade in the history of mankind is over.

Whoop!

Birthday mess about.

My bigoted, alcoholic father thought I'd been "got at by lefties". Then we became mates.

A piece I wrote about my father is now on Substack.

The final track on my EP, The Courage of Women, is "Louise Michel Lived Here".

Michel was a leader of the Paris Commune, arrested, deported, pardoned, arrested again, and then lived in exile... in East Dulwich 🤯

I thought, that's worth a song.
