This (and the rest of this thread) is a beautiful tonic.
A quick little throwaway tune in RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION from the late, great Neil Innes.

I'd love to hear various artists cover this ditty in concert... (Which artist will take up the challenge first?)

The continuity error was: my hair is tied back as Blackthorne, but when he's sucked out the airlock my hair is loose, as God intended. Well done to everyone who noticed it.

I'm going on tour in 2026! Come and see me doing one of the best reviewed shows from the Ed Fringe (according to the British Comedy Guide). It's called King of Crumbs, and it's a load of old nonsense, really. Book now!

This is very useful for all types of writing, thank you Joanne.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 12:
When you're getting ready to edit your first draft, change the font. It will trick your brain into reading anew, so you won't just skip over the familiar text...

I suspect Russia was testing out NATO’s willingness to stand together when Putin sent his drones over Poland. The alliance passed the test — but there’ll definitely be more to come.

Me in full ‘Unspun World’ flow for tonight’s programme on BBC Two, the News Channel & BBC World Service, being filmed by Dave Wilkins. Ben Watt, exec producer, on the right. Subjects: gloomy Britain greets Trump/Israel accused of genocide/Russia tests NATO. Worth a watch.

🧪 How many times and in what different ways do we need confirmation that genAI is crap for anything except the simplest tasks?
*Because it doesn't read, or comprehend, or think*.

(also, hilariously, it's the same AI Oxford Uni has just paid some huge sum to licence for all staff & students)

“In Kent, a No Use Empty scheme offers interest-free loans for up to 3 years to owners who will let or sell the property afterwards. Though it was set up 20 yrs ago with a relatively modest pot of £5m, today it is self-sustaining.”
Very interesting and important piece from the BBC.
Empty home crisis: Why aren't they being used to solve shortages?
There are almost 720,000 empty homes in England. And many more on social housing waiting lists - so why aren't we better using one to help solve the other, and is it a case of a missed opportunity?
