Have you noticed that these days when time travellers grab you by the shoulders and ask what year it is, when you reply "2024" they no longer say "Thank God. I'm not too late"?

I don't know about DG - there's another top job at the BBC that I'm much more suitable for

I've decided that I Shall Wield A Camera Again, nascent arthritis be damned, and have bought a lightweight secondhand thing with which to so do.

The BBC should get Celia Imrie's bum to apologise to Trump.

My one #politics post of the day.

Starmer's refusal to clear out Tory appointments to the BBC Board and other public bodies from day one was at best deeply naive.

Again we come back to the mystery of what Labour were doing pre-2024 election as it definitely wasn't preparing for power.

Rob Macfarlane talking at Stroud Book Festival 2025. He spoke of how in Is A River Alive? He hasn’t quite got an idea of how to think of futures. #HopeIsAPractice

Not only do I apparently have to get up to go out, I'm going to have to go out *again* later. I want to speak to my lawyer.

Been a grim week on the sleep front so I've been looking forward to the weekend to recharge. Got my head down, just about dropped off, and the cacophony outside started up again. At my absolute wits' end.

The owner of X is now a trillionaire and repeatedly foments civil unrest in the UK. Not only does our government stay quiet, they post on his platform, which an excellent piece of Sky journalism has shown deliberately amplifies far right content. Insane.
