It’s all very well Evri/Royal Mail/DHL/Some Bloke With A Van excitedly sending us an email every time someone picks our parcel up, or drops it, or puts it in another van, or reads the label but why can’t they TELL US WHO THE FUCKING THING IS FROM?

Dear BBC Radio 4 Extra. It’s pretty obvious that the programme from 1953 I want to listen to ‘reflects attitudes of the time’. I’m not bloody stupid and am more likely to be offended by the pish on Eastenders than Kenneth Williams being camp, stop playing to the lowest common denominator.

Been watching people listening to music. Watching the crowd at Glastonbury singing along to Alanis Morissette, and watching people in a pub singing along to my friend’s duo singing timeless songs. Music has the power to transport people, move them, make them happy, help them escape. It’s magic.

Dear V-TAC, makers of ‘smart’ lightbulbs. Is it really smart to have your lightbulbs start flashing when they lose contact with my router? Because it’s not at all distracting and annoying sitting in a disco while trying to get them to connect again #firstworldproblems

People who stop and flash you out of a junction, when there’s nothing behind you anyway & it would be quicker if you just carried on instead of causing confusion with your headlights and incomprehensible gestures. Why?
I’ve started just sitting there shaking my head at them and/or ignoring them.

Oh great, Starmer echoes Hegseth, trumpeting on about “war-fighting readiness”, how he wants to spend money on the military & “raiding welfare or the aid budget once more to do so”
The words of Tony Benn spring to mind, “If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people”

Woman in Booths just started rearranging my shopping on the conveyor so that she could start putting hers on. I was quite taken aback and nearly started manhandling her shopping in return. Then she let someone go through ahead of her. So she wasn’t in a rush. Aargh

Watching The Hunt for Red October hits different now. The officers talking about being allowed to live in Montana with a pickup truck. Today they’d probably get sent back to the Rodina #onepingonly

Voted Labour at the GE to be sure of getting the Tories out, and now I’m watching Keir heading to the right of them. Why did the news interview Fartage and Badenough, in that order, and not talk to the Lib Dems? The media is shaping this, talking about ‘stopping the boars’. #notinmyname

Disproportionately more attention being paid to the colour of the smoke above the Vatican rather than the smoke that has been rising from Ukraine, from Gaza, from Pakistan, from Yemen. BBC World Service said before that the Conclave were having lunch and a rest. Jesus H. Corbett

Never really thought about flying a flag until I read that Refuck UK councillors are going to ban them unless they’re a Union flag or St George’s cross and now I want to buy an EU one and a huge flagpole.

For a 30 yo song this hits pretty hard today what with everything going on….

Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya,
They say jump and ya say "How high?"
Ya braindead?, ya got a fuckin' bullet in ya head? #rageagainstthemachine

No, gent I’ve just met in the pub, I don’t want to hear how “Nigel F*r*ge is a very clever man”, or how wonderful Wetherspoons is. He’s a clever devious front bottom who excels in spreading division and hate while raking in his EU Pension and doing fuck all for his constituents.

I could really love Antiques Roadtrip, it’s got it all, classic cars, interesting history, sometimes foxy presenters. BUT then Tim Worracock opens his supercilious mouth and I throw Mjölnir at the telly.
