And that’s my Columbo quota filled!

I’d love to see two Cocteau Twins fans going for it in a pub car park, mayhem!

My grandad and dad (and mum and grandma) did have ‘proper men’s jobs’ and also spent their lives trying to ensure that the next generation didn’t have to do the same mind numbing body breaking work. Is Anderson about to make Arbeit Macht Frei the official party slogan?

It says right there on their fire engine that they’re sapeurs…

I enjoyed the book, went to hear Richard read from it at The Social, bought copies for friends…suppose I’d better get one of these then…

Where on earth did FIFA find a mandate for this? Was it a note from Jules Rimet that Infantino fortuitously discovered down the back of his safe?

Ah! That Sammy, of course, short bloke, frock coat, pockets full of opium - keeps well away from the barrels, doesn’t say much. I’ll tell him you’ll be giving Xanadu a spin on his behalf.

If we bump into each other in a crowd of 20,000 I’ll be sure to pass on your regards!

Yep - no crowd control, huge blazing barrels, alcohol. Where else? 😎

My favourite time of day.

I somehow ended up at a white Afrikaans-speaking 50th birthday party in Devon recently - Lord the music was the highest order of terrible, Roxette would have been a relief. The dancing was worse than the music. I left sharpish.

Just speaking truth brother!

A Lego set should be the standard gift between politicians - or at very least that should be the price limit. They must have one of the WhiteHouse with east wing intact they could give to Trump?

This old heart of mine (is removed for you)
Behind a painted Nile…

Grey damp mornings will do that to a person - i feel your ennui!
