John Grant at The Troxy last night. Great mix of old and new and finished off with GMF…

John Grant was excellent at the Troy yesterday evening. He played 19 songs (I think). Great band too.

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

Beta Band at the Roundhouse last night. Beezer!

@hugorifkind.bsky.social You said
that you didn’t realise that, the Sopranos theme song band, the Alabama 3 were Brits. One of them is the son of the Great Train Robber - Bruce Reynolds.

Fifty years ago I had a car radio stolen, went to the police station to report it and had my fingerprints taken "in case they found it", although I always suspected it was because I had shoulder length hair. Assume they're still on file somewhere.

@frasernelson.bsky.social in today’s Times you said that Heath won an election on the question “Who governs Britain?” Er no. Wilson won that election because the voters said “Not you mate”.

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/

NIGHTWORKS: Katie McCabe & Nico Jover hit The Tunnel. I’m looking forwards to watching our boys back under the lights at The Emirates tomorrow night. Pls check out these new editions, if you’re lucky enough to be near Arsenal. ♥️🤍 #Arsenal #Streetart Also northbanksy.art has a print sale this week!

It’s outrageous really. People have paid for memberships and can’t use them. Still genuinely shocked they did this is the middle of a season. Phone lines are basically out of order too unless you call really early and hold for hours.

COMPETITION: I’ve got three copies of Planes, Trains and Toilet Doors to give away.

RT this before 10am on Monday.

I’ll randomly pick three people from the RTs, and I’ll sign and post a book to the winners. Perfect 🎁

@fullfact.bsky.social Can you through any light on LOTO’squestion at PMQs today about a childcare provider’s NI bill increasing by about 150%due to the budget? Seems a lot compared to as announced increase, even with threshold being reduced.
