- Admiral Sir Densely Charmander
- Bollocks. The independent bookshop on Smithdown Road, Dead Ink, is closing. Quite apart from that being shitty news in and of itself, it also means that almost certainly another convenience store will move in there, as they have done for every shop that's closed in the last five years.
- If you want extremely (and I mean *extremely*) specific trivia about one particular author, I’ve got you covered.

- The joy of waiting for some people to arrive at your house to do ‘a job’.

- There are three of them, and Alleline… god, I never get tired of Tinker, Tailor. What performances.

- Heartbreaking news.
- how many stickle bricks do I have to eat before I turn into a hedgehog
- Ooh. Tricky. It's a bit of a blind spot decade for me, except it contains the following fab five: The Sting Jaws Dirty Harry Monty Python & The Holy Grail All The President's Men
- Car Park Blackbird #carparkblackbird

- If this many pigeons sit on your aerial, all the characters on ITV3 become pigeons. Inspector Morse? He’s a pigeon now. Foyle… you guessed it. Pigeon. On The Buses: they’re all disgusting pigeons.
- I spend a lot of time dodging and avoiding GenAI in all the software I use for work, and in the messages and approaches of the organisation I work for (higher education). I don't need it 'officially' encroaching through other channels as well in my day to day life.
- We're having the damp-proofing sorted in the front of the house next week, which means of course I am now unable to think about anything except moving the furniture, prepping the space, getting stuff sorted...
- This art is by my partner, this XTC listening party concept is by her sister!
- DID YOU KNOW: My band, Good Grief, once contributed a song to a Guided By Voices tribute record, where we stuck together two 'food themed' pop bangers? bertdax.bandcamp.com/track/doughn...
- I'm on the lookout for a copy of the SOUTH BANK SHOW dated 6th May 1984 (s7e17) about ED MCBAIN. I've not been able to find it anywhere - the archive at Leeds Uni has a non-digitised film copy, so that doesn't help. There's a 3 min clip on Youtube that the director shared. Any help appreciated!
