I’m sat here enraptured by my favourite Organ piece at volume 11 on the stereo.
Then I look at the back of the CD and it says it was made in West Germany 🇩🇪
I suddenly felt very old.

This documentary had a profound effect on me. I became obsessed with it. I even wrote to #jobriath asking him about this musical he’d written. I wanted to be in it.
Sadly he had died before I got the chance to meet him.
It remains unperformed to this day.
That makes me sad 😞

And here is the great Stanley Bard - manager of the Hotel Chelsea. I met him on my first trip to NYC. He invited me to stay. ‘You do t have to go back to London’ he said, ‘stay with us’.
I was tempted.

Watching the insufferably pompous Face The Music on BBC4 now. I used to share a flat in the Barbican with the director of this programme. All these years later it occurs to me that he must’ve thought I was a common little gobshite.
Joseph Cooper comes across as deeply unpleasant.

Liberties of London Money to Burn Rubbish Xmas Present of the Month.
A cheap looking plush toy that wiggles its ears & twitches its tail.
And that’s it.
I’ve seen more realistic point of sales displays on Are You Being Served?
Yours for a paltry £3,250 😕

Full strength 5G and this is all I can get in London?
This UK 5G signal strength is probably one of the biggest current tech rip offs going.
The internet capability of this signal is also rubbish.

Every time I channel flick this poor woman is simpering on about yet another friend who’s had to organise their mum’s funeral.
Jesus Christ, at this rate there won’t be any women left in Woking by the time she’s finished.
