The temptation to sit in a beer garden with the new David Nicholls book is frankly overwhelming
I loved everything about the Treehorn books as a child, particularly that exact shade of green
If you sing that ‘so good so good so good’ bit over Sweet Caroline I’m afraid you will be arrested and sent to prison – seems a bit draconian but I guess rules are rules!!
There’s nothing more pathetic than the bloke at a wedding who talks to the band about their gear – what pedals are you using, what amp is that – by which I mean, that’s me, there’s nothing more pathetic than me
This is great, for all you Gorky’s fans youtu.be/NBgs0Yzqv30?si…
Wouldn’t you love to go for a really decent pint of cider in like 1983

Worried about Sleeper actually seeing this now

I love how parents will occasionally drop in a fact like ‘I saw Duke Ellington live’. The first band I saw live was Sleeper.
It’s the third day of being asked to ‘tell us a bit about yourself’ on Pointless and, exasperated, breathless, you look Alexander Armstrong in the eye and say ‘Nothing, I’ve got nothing Xander. I do nothing. I am no one!!’
Can’t believe I got sacked from The Repair Shop just for breaking some prick’s clock
The chorus of the new Dua Lipa song starts on Ebm and ends on E major, which is a lovely bit of business if you ask me
Does anyone else remember hide and seek being rebranded as ‘manhunt’ when you hit 11
One of the funniest things I’ve seen in recent years is Rick Stein talking to an Italian chef who gesticulates with his hands so much that Stein thinks he’s pointing at something behind him
Anyone read Our Mutual Friend? Why do John Harmon and George Radfoot switch identities on the boat? I’ve read this chapter three times and can’t make head nor tail of it!
Some of the farts that are going off at this Frank Zappa tribute band gig are illegal
Thanks to @lostmertonian for suggesting LOUSE as a first word in Wordle back in November 2022 - it paid off handsomely yesterday

Wonderful to see Castletown Donkey Derby (which has made me laugh more than anything in the world) top this list from @phlaimeaux theguardian.com/stage/2024/mar…
Of all the deceptions and self-deceptions in Dylan’s music, the idea that he stopped into a topless place ‘for a beer’ in Tangled Up in Blue really takes the biscuit
Drinking saltwater? Makes you sick. Drinking a lovely salty broth? Goes down a treat. The mainstream media don’t want you to know this!!!!!

@robinallender Can you remind me what the initialism you had on the Moon Under Water for pubs that served the same 4 or 5 beers on draught.
@robinallender Now I know what influenced many Cleaners from Venus album covers. Thanks Robin

@robinallender What, these days? You’ll be arrested and thrown in jail if you sing that ‘so good so good so good’ bit over Sweet Caroline these days? Is that right? Probably is, these days.
@robinallender No thats good to do everyone gets to have a nice chat . People like talking about their pedals and also amps. I for one like asking them about them . Give yourself a break for 5 minutes !
“Audience want to see themselves reflected on stage - but it’s the same with off stage and in the office” - @megomerrett #FutureOfTheatre 💡

@robinallender I love this. I agree with his weary conclusion that the world didn't deserve them.
@robinallender I think I’d rather go to a WHSmith in about 1989
@robinallender Yes, but you'd not be old enough, so here, here's a glass bottle of pop (not coke, thats too expensive, have some orange corona) , a park of pork scratchings, and a colouring book? *gives surly look and says "Dad....." in a bored voice* etc. etc.
@robinallender Hope that didn’t put you off going to see more bands.
@robinallender Yes! My dad heard Ella Fitzgerald live, and he mentioned it casually whan I was like 40. Today it's too late to ask about the gigs he attended in his youth.
@robinallender My dad saw Stevie Wonder live when he was still Little Stevie Wonder. He's also seen Sinatra, John Lennon (solo), and I think Elvis. He and my mom also had dinner with Gloria Steinem. He said that "she has no sense of humor."
@robinallender My mum saw Laurel & Hardy live in Glasgow. Her mum saw Queen Victoria’s funeral ship carrying her body back from the Isle of Wight. So, not technically “live”…
Prince Louis is expected to mark his sixth birthday with celebrations organised by his parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales itv.com/news/2024-04-2…
