Happy birthday to the estimable @brennig
Tragic.. it was only when I stopped to listen to to it (I had to.. it was playing vaguely in the background of the blood donation place) that I realised that Fantasy by Mariah Carey sampled Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club. I thought Heart was playing something good for a moment.
I love the exquisite profundity of @Writerer's Point Of View essays on @BBCRadio4 - I find this particular one unarguable, and it should be mandatory listening for schools so developing minds understand and think. (Ever thought of doing assemblies, AL?)

The missing vowels round on tonight's #OnlyConnect was an absolute joy... best quiz show on the telly.
Rail replacement bus replacement rail bus replacement service service. It's. Sunday afternoon thing.

@Documentally I just read your latest email newsletter - and what a lovely tribute to Will Green. Thank you. I never met him in person but existed in the same podcast galaxy at least; it was a privilege to have done so. A true British gentleman. To the glorious mysteries of life.
Oh my.. @sfdrummer (thanks, Russ!) has just prompted the recollection that I did meet Will - at a British Tech social - and many drinks and laughs were enjoyed. I consider myself fortunate to have spent time with him online and in person. I'm grateful for the chance to share.

I hope you got to know Will Green of @BritishMac. Funny and eccentric with a lot of love to give. I shall miss him. He was a lovely human being. documentally.substack.com/p/β¦
makes a mental note: Stephen Fry, Adam Hart-Davis, Rolf Harris, Olivia Colman, Liza Tarbuck & Chris Morris would be my ideal dinner guests..
71% is almost full..? That's hardly more than half-way... "almost full" is when I have just finished a family pack of custard creams...
We were there! Somewhere between Russell & Ron... just a cluster of happy pixels! #Sparks @RoyalAlbertHall

Obviously his second attempt at a #Eurovision song but no questioning Neil Hannon's comedy genius...
What's the secret to the perfect #Eurovision song? On The Culture Show in 2007, The Divine Comedyβs Neil Hannon revealed four essential ingredients and performed his own Euro-style creation, Trafalgar. Cue key change!
