#Andrewarrested! Live pictures from Royal Lodge! A pair of closed gates, a pigeon sitting in a tree having a shit and a man walking his dog. This is what I pay my licence fee for.

Hang on! Movement. Live pictures from Sandringham! A muddy path and a Range Rover. Exciting.

Over excited Royal

Year of the #FireHorse, apparently. Name sounds like a Dutch heavy metal band.

What’s that?

It is a Dutch heavy metal band?

God, I’m good. I know about music I know nothing about.

Good looking too.

Thanks.

#LookMumNoComputer will be representing us at Eurovision this year.

There’ll be no support from Birmingham whatsoever, even if he has come up with the next Paperback Writer, Pretty Vacant, Bridge Over Troubled Water or There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.

Spelt Mom wrong. Unacceptable.

Testify.

RIP #RobertDuvall. Masterful actor who could play anything.

One book ends, another one begins. Next up: #TheIPCRESSFile by #LenDeighton. Note the uppercase spelling of IPCRESS. It is correct, because it is an acronym, and that is how it appeared at the original publication. Detail is important.

#TheStrangersChapter3. Maya has survived, but a worse nightmare is about to unfold.

Horror aficionados are really passionate critics. I’ve been taking a look at the comments on IMDb. Poor rating overall. Lots of one and two stars out of ten along with ‘worst film ever made’ barbs.

It isn’t. As a

#WutheringHeights. The tragic love story of Cathy and Heathcliff. You know how it goes.

Or maybe you don’t? Never read the book, so the only information I have about the story was picked up from the only adaptation I have ever sat completely through: Andrea Arnold’s 2011 version. That version was

#HappyValentinesDay, y’all!

Was on a sure thing for later, but not any more. Apparently Sabrina Carpenter has no interest whatsoever in watching the Villa/Newcastle game, so she had to go. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life.

Jim Ratcliffe said that the UK had been colonised by #migrants.

Well, he’s not wrong. If Homo Sapiens originated in Africa, then you could say that the whole world, except Africa, has been colonised by migrants. Perhaps we should all go back to where we came from? Bit crowded, would have thought.

Zero interest in the #WinterOlympics, but currently there is a couple who are doing a routine to a Proclaimers song and that can only be a good thing.

Late. #BadBunny headlined half time show at the Super Bowl. Good for them. Would have been more impressed if it had been Bugs Bunny because a) He was cool and b) He was a cartoon and so proof that AI has finally taken control.

I’m on a series of courses on AI soon. 🥱 Waiting for the scales to fall.

#HIsForHawk. When her beloved father dies, Helen decides to get and train a Goshawk. But is her relationship with the bird helping or hindering with her grief?

Based on a true story. Thought this was really good. Claire Foy is really an amazing and underrated talent. Totally convincing and hurting

Interesting. Man just got on the bus, unwrapped an entire pack of #custardcreams, put them one-by-one into the discarded tickets slot, and then got off.

🤔

Ritual hatred of custard creams, perhaps? Or hatred of the person who has to empty the discarded tickets bin? We will never know.

Have to admit it, #Rasputin by #BoneyM is a bit of a tune. Dreadful video, though.

So, on #WorldRecordStoreDay, 18th April 2026, do I go out and purchase the album A Quick One by The Who on beautiful orange and green vinyl? Double album, mono, original album and extra disc with b-sides, Ready Steady Who EP, rarities.

(You don’t own a record player, Rob.)

🤔😦

So. Are we talking about the music at the #Grammys yet, or still just about the clothes, or lack of them, being worn by the lady pop stars on the red carpet?

We’re not?

Shame.

Flag to the mast. Last year, really liked Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan. Straightforward pop song with a chorus is

Looking for something to write about, because I am always looking for something to write about, it popped up that today is #GroundhogDay.

Happy Groundhog Day!

One of the links that came off that was a question: What is the British version of Groundhog Day. The answer came back as St. Swithin’s

#IronLung. The stars have vanished. The planets have gone. The human race is facing extinction. On a desolate moon, a small submarine searches for something in an ocean of blood.

Interesting experiment which didn’t quite work. Defeated, somewhat, by the lack of light and shade in the story, the low

#MartySupreme. Marty has confidence in his ability as a table tennis player. He has an unshakeable belief that he is great and his greatness will give him success. But the rest of the world may not feel that way and real strength will be measured in how you get past them and what you learn on the

Heard a phrase earlier #radicaltransparency in relation to Amy Schumer telling the world about her health issues and how she has lost so much weight.

It’s not a new thing. Kerry Katona, and latterly Katie Price, have been telling the world every single detail of their lives for years.

Not me.

I haven’t worn my #watch since 13th November 2025. I may never wear it again. Shame. Nice watch.

#SydneySweeney has started selling an underwear range!

Of course this is great news. Especially for the ladies who, purchasing said underwear, believe this will make them look like Sydney Sweeney. It probably won’t, but I might be wrong. Willing to give an unbiased opinion if asked to do so.

UK government to offer free courses in #AI to meet challenges at work.

Yeah, whatever. Courses in picking up a telephone, dialling a number and speaking might also be useful. Even answering the telephone.

Call me a Luddite (You’re a Luddite!) but I am bored to tears hearing about AI.

Be glad when #winter is done. Obviously distracted in December with Christmas and lights and colour and interesting things going on like recovering from the hand fuckup, but finding January difficult. Likely February is going to be the same. Apparently a common experience for many people.

Won’t lie and say that I was completely onboard with some of the military adventures of the Blair/Bush years, but what I will say is this:

#Britishsoldiers were there as part of NATO. They were at the front. They fought, they suffered and, in some cases, they died. This happened despite anything an
