It’s not unusual for radio presenters to share a weather forecast as they switch shifts. Just my luck that I’m on after The Richard Nixon Morning Zoo.....

Look, I’ve got no skin in the game really, but I see Amanda Knox approves of the Hulu series about her. No surprises as to what the tone of the series is going to be (hint: she’s totally innocent and blameless), so much so that there’s not really a whole lot of point in watching it, is there?

By now, everyone knows that Michael Jackson did the chorus for Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me”, but hardly anyone praises Alvin And The Chipmunks’ backing work on Jackson’s slightly troubling “PYT”.

Recorded two episodes of “Vinyl Judgement” with my son Moss last night. We listened to Joy Division’s “Unknown Pleasures”, and “The Best Of Petula Clark” back to back.
There should have been a gear crunch, but in fact we both enjoyed the two albums rather a lot!

Watching an educational film from 1980, starring Little Johnny Cusack. I think he should go for that haircut again, it’s a good look.

Our “in lieu of flowers” for my dad’s funeral last week was for a super super great cause, and one he’d absolutely approve of.
Even though we’re at an unbelievable 145% of our target, my sisters and I have extended the end date til the 15th, his birthday.

It seems there are two types of people in the world: people who say “WNBC” a specific way because they saw it in “Private Parts”, and people who say “WNBC” a specific way because that’s how they used to say it on WNBC.

I really don’t listen to podcasts.
The saying of which is the 2025 equivalent to 1980’s “I really don’t like the Rubix Cube” I suppose.

Not a day goes by where I don’t offer a personalised album recommendation to someone who didn’t even ask for it. Sometimes it’s because the person has a specific personality trait that reminds me of something, or it might be entirely situational.
Bet I’m not alone in doing this.

Anyone else stuck for an unreasonable amount of time in the departure lounge of Glasgow Airport? My flight is in THREE HOURS and all I’ve got to do is eat impossible whoppers and cry.
Come find me and cheer me up for gawd’s sake.

I don’t look good in pictures, I really don’t. My face looks like it was on fire and someone put it out with a rusty shovel.
Yet still, any time someone takes my picture and it’s half decent, I think “is that the one that will be on display at my funeral…? 😳

My Dad’s funeral was today, but we kept it upbeat and happy, a celebration. Friends and family and love everywhere.
Particularly exciting was reaching 97% on his Just Giving. Can you push us over the top? It’s for an amazing cause, close to my Dad’s heart

My late Dad wouldn’t have wanted flowers at his funeral. I can guarantee it. He’d love for you to honour his memory instead with a small donation to an *amazing* cause.
Cheers, faither. Let’s change some lives for the better.
