Watched #LastOneLaughing. I'd be useless on such a show. Throw out an innuendo, insult, slapstick or toilet humour and I'd be out of the game. Excellent mood booster of a show 👌

I'm obsessed with #Virdee - binged it on iPlayer. Love that it's set in Bradford, the religion dynamics, and the Luther-like vibes from DCI Virdee. Staz Nair is an excellent lead.

I needed more people to warn me about the emotional roller coaster that was Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Sobbed and sobbed some more. Hugh Grant was exceptional - he really has gotten better with age.

I've listened to ONE YEAR'S worth of Wolf & Owl podcasts in one month. I've even (temporarily) stopped listening to Greg James in the morning. Think I may have a problem

Oh, to have the blind optimism of a three-year-old. Despite explaining the injury crisis, sickness bug and quite frankly diabolical form against Newcastle, the little man has declared: "Spurs are going to do great. Kulusevski's gonna score the first and third goal." #TOTvNEW #COYS

Nice to start the year with a not-so-humble brag. If you want to do something new/good/get free biscuits, give blood (if you can). #Giveblood

Caught up on Wallace & Gromit. Exceptional. Poor old Gromit puts up with an unreasonable amount of crap. 'That's an innocent nun' - one of the best moments of Christmas telly ever.

Quite clearly, New Zealand exposed a lot of flaws in England, who remain brilliant and mad in equal measure. A real hammering. That's England men's last Test until May, which is utterly ludicrous. #NZvsENG

Erm, @yorkshiretea.bsky.social , say it isn't so. I've just heard the Toast & Jam tea has been discontinued. 90% of the tea I consume (and it's a lot) are these 😭.

@geofflemon.bsky.social has written a beautiful piece about the anniversary of Philip Hughes' death.
If you've ever suffered a close bereavement, this manages to explain some of those unthinkable and unimaginable moments.

No IPL deal for Jimmy Anderson. So, nailed on for Oval Invincibles or Manchester Originals in summer '25. Surely?

Love this. Cary Grant in 'An Affair to Remember'. One of my all-time favourites. They don't make them like him anymore.

Sat near some old dears in a cafe and tune into the conversation.
"Have you ever been to Ann Summers?" A resounding 'no' - apart from one. "Oh, I have. I could tell you some stories." Well, go on, Mary. Start talking.

Listened to the latest Tailenders podcast (loosely-cricket based, if you're unfamiliar) and discovered not everyone's listening to podcasts/voicenotes at 1.5x speed (at least). I presumed this was standard.

I've always enjoyed Lineker presenting MOTD. It always strikes me as a real marker of his talent that many viewers won't know he's an ex-pro. Chappers should (hopefully) be the only replacement - a superb broadcaster.
BBC News reporting that Gary Lineker, its highest paying presenter, is to step down from Match of the Day at the end of the season.

I'd like you to point to a Spurs fan who is stunned. It's entirely predictable, I think you'll find.
