Enjoyed chest, Blackgold and Coach Party today - halfway through English Teacher and I’m bored - they’re clearly accomplished musicians but I’m getting the same ‘so what’ feeling I got with Black Country New Road #RockawayBeach

Any good festival is about seeing bands you wouldn’t normally go and see and Blackgold were brilliant - and I didn’t even like Nu Metal the first time round … #RockawayBeach

GANS got on my nerves - trying to get a circle pit going when you’ve barely played a song in a 30 minute set - lasted 15 minutes and went for a wander

great news everyone, I went back to the antique store to buy the cookbook and the directions for opening an egg from page 34 are even more unhinged than I could have imagined

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...
Donate to Duvet Know It's Christmas, 2025, organized by Rhodri Marsden
Unbelievably, it's the 15th year of this thing.

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

I’ve seen a lot of things at football over the years but the stewards at Sixfields last night who told a bloke dressed as Father Christmas “no face coverings” and made him take his fake beard off was right up there…
