Interested in lots of stuff. Here for the lighter side of life mainly.

Very sad to hear the news that Johnnie Walker has died. A great DJ with a real love for music. We’ve spent many happy hours listening to his shows.
Such terrible if not unexpected news. Farewell the great Johnnie Walker. My all-time favourite radio presenter. The ultimate friend-behind-the microphone.

Millions of us valued Twitter/X at times of breaking news. It was a way to get info, fast.

That value has been shattered by misinformation & a destructive algorithm.

We can now make Bluesky the go-to platform for news. Here's a list of (verified) journalists to keep up with UK breaking news.

💙📚Just finished Capital by John Lanchester. Found it entertaining, well written and thoughtful. Recognised so many of the places and types of people in the book too.
