I don't think it's the same article

the Anselm Kiefer exhibition at the RA is amazing, even better if your gf is wearing the *exact* same colour scheme as one of his absolute bangers

allow me to paraphrase a 10yo tweet from memory, but a glorious thing about Melvyn Bragg on In Our Time is the utter lack of pissing about compared to podcasts that get 40 mins in then say "OK let's get into it." MB can barely get "hello" out before he's telling you something about Marcus Aurelius

Enid Joan Fleckney. Thank you Ian, such a lovely thing to do

100% both. seasonal change (and all the micro-stages therein) rocketing up the charts of the Best Things with every year

yes defo capitalise

Jethro Trill

very Milchick

Cat on a chaise longue in front of an open fire. A reminder, if needed, that Tapping the Admiral in Kentish Town is a 10/10 pub

tiny wee church in Kent where for some reason (money) Marc Chagall did all the stained-glass windows. Also includes an in-tune Bechstein piano. Well done to all concerned

I'm worryingly reminded of the phenomenon of huge multinationals owning local newspapers. They find that the only way to extract satisfactory (to them) profits from modest endeavours is to asset-strip. Many differences here to 100/county situation of course, but I fear the fundamentals are the same

I've done a similar thing, Ladies of the Canyon is another good one but Hejira is king

oh my, incredible album. Had it on the other day

I did a photoshoot there once, the landlady insisted that whenever I called the pub to arrange it, I asked for (again, her words not mine) "the bitch". This codename would apparently get you past the gatekeeping member of staff and bring her to the phone. She was absolutely brilliant

on Christmas Day in the morning!

@seamas.bsky.social good to meet you last night, Seamas

the Famous 3 Kings in West Kensington. A pub on a motorway. Want to settle into an awful sports bar for an all-dayer with Jamie Redknapp on the box, while lulled by the sounds of the A4 next door? You're in luck! Apparently ACDC once played there, which goes some way to explaining "Highway to Hell"

@levparikian.bsky.social @jasonhazeley.bsky.social guys, I just noticed that the This Is Your Life theme tune opens with the devil's interval and had to tell someone

where's my blue plaque in St Pancras station @englishheritage?

worked on this piece, he sounded like an incredible man

Ben is an outstanding cartoonist, the best of this generation I reck. Total pro too (I work with him)

amazing x

three plaques on a bench in the Peak District.

I call this piece "Downfall of Society"

like the old #ff I suppose

this is amazingly helpful, thank you. More blueskyers should do this

this is much better, finally got rid of that Musky stench
