I shared this photo a week or so ago on Mani’s birthday
- It never failed to bring a smile to my face - and that was exactly the same for the man himself.

One of the absolute best in every way - such a beautiful friend

Love you Mani x x

From @privateeyenews.bsky.social:
Lily Allen Album Decoded The Eye tries to get to the bottom of the biggest mystery in popular music. Who is Lily Allen making coded references to in her new album 'My Ex-Husband is a Bastard'? Track 1: Beardy Bastard This first track has got the whole world guessing. Could it possibly be a reference to David Harbour? Or is it a more obtuse reference to Jeremy Corbyn or possibly Brian Blessed? Track 2: Harbour is a Bastard Lily often talks about auto-fiction in her own work, which makes it difficult to fathom the exact meaning of her lyrics. This could be a reference to David Harbour, her ex-husband, but it could equally be about an unhappy childhood trip to Portsmouth. Perhaps we will never know. Track 3: The Bastard from 'Stranger Things' is a Bastard 'Strange Things' is a song in 'Toy Story', sung when Woody realises he is no longer Andy's favourite toy and has been replaced by Buzz Lightyear. So this track may well refer to Lily's failed relationship with an absurdly optimistic astronaut, who had promised to love her "to infinity and beyond". Or could it be about 'Stranger Things' actor and Lily's ex, David Harbour? Track 4: My Ex-Husband is a Bastard who had an Affair with a Costume Designer who is a Bitch Don't be fooled by the jaunty reggae backbeat, this is a profoundly negative song, and it's possible that Lily is referring to recent events in her own life. The ex-husband could be a reference to her actual ex-husband David Harbour, but more likely this is an astute political allegory about Boris Johnson or possibly Matt Hancock, with 'costume designer' being code for PPE supplier. Track 5: I'm Going to Get my Revenge on my Beardy Bastard Ex-Husband David Harbour from 'Stranger Things' by Writing an Album Telling the World What a Beardy Bastard He Is This is perhaps the most obtuse and impenetrable of all Lily's complex and nuanced lyrics on this puzzling enigma of an album, but it seems to be a bittersweet reflection on love, monogamy, polyamory...

Private Eye nailing it.
A story in Private Eye, headlined "Minority representation on TV causes outrage". The article reads: "There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television."

It is funny how two male heroes - Hercules Kev Sorbo and occasional Superman Dee Cain have gone all boring and far right while Linda Carter aka Wonder Woman and Lucy Lawless aka Xena are progressive and are far more heroic

Xena and Hercules are 'fighting' again – this time over the UK race riots
Lucy Lawless and Kevin Sorbo, co-stars of hit 90s shows Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, are at odds once again.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

The first single from The Telephone Numbers' upcoming new album is "Be Right Down," a tough jangler featuring Thomas Rubenstein’s earnest lyrics and Morgan Stanley’s heavenly backing vocals. Major Minneapolis/Athens vibes and we are here for it. Go listen!

I am still in awe about the Back to the Beginning gig at the weekend. What a day, what a line up. Black Sabbath so amazing.
