When I flew out from a long weekend in Italy to surprise my parents just in time before it turned into the longest weekend ever… I first heard the word ‘Coronavirus’ whilst over there… Patient 0 had not long run the HM in my parents’ town…

Such a weird appointment. It’s as if they wanted someone whom they could fire without it looking weird.

I'm in politics for people like my Dad.

I'm in politics for people like my Dad.

His dad who was Finance Director at the English Electric Cooker Company and Managing Director of Cannon Industries?

His dad, whose startup company went on to turnover millions and who privately educated his son?

I would reunite Ireland tomorrow. Religion is no justification for the North of Ireland to be annexed to the UK, which causes even more issues post-Brexit. But I had a Catholic friend at the last Belfast gig whom I had to tell what songs she’d just heard as she didn’t know any of them. And…

It always surprises me that he plays that one in Northern Ireland, where it has strong political connotations - & not in a left/right sense. I wonder what his Mother-in-Law thinks about it…

Lost my phone in London, with four credit cards and £150 cash in the case. Returned to me within 21 minutes. This hellhole of a city eh.

The one thing I’ve never understood about that section of the film, which I had a teeny weeny impact upon as I was working at the Lane that night, is how neither side of Sheffield lynched Mel Sterland..! Well, that & United being at home in an FA Cup semi, obvs. 😂

Can’t recall ever signing up. No idea what they’re about. Will try to unsubscribe. The overwhelming majority of the emails I receive are spam. Unsubscribing may or may not help. Worth a go.

North Somerset misses WECA meeting as motorway grinds to a halt Friday’s traffic chaos meant that North Somerset Council missed a major meeting about joining the West of England Combined Authority (WECA).

Ever heard of Teams, Zoom, GoogleMeet, WhatsApp - or even just a phone on loudspeaker? 🤦🏻‍♂️
