    Thanks to @EricIdle for today's most insistent earworm youtu.be/SVGV6lvNTR4?si…. The only obituary to compliment the man's legs, too.
    Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer You're the Doctor of my dreams With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare And your machiavellian schemes I know they say that you are very vain And short and fat and pushy but at least you're not insane Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer And wishing you were here Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer You're so chubby and so neat With your funny clothes and your squishy nose You're like a German parakeet All right so people say that you don't care But you've got nicer legs than Hitler And bigger tits than Cher Henry Kissinger How I'm missing yer And wishing you were here

    When Terry Jones tells you he wants to be "a sex object" for your Fancy Dress costume book, you dress Terry Jones up as a sex object. Hat-tip, Jane Asher. RIP that excellent glorious silly man.

    Incredible to see a picture of someone and know they've never apologised to a waiter, but have repeatedly needed to.

    The rollercoaster between seeing David Sedaris is at the Southbank Centre in 2024 🙂, and realising ticket prices are £40-£50 🙃, gah, this further GUARANTEES his audience will be as depicted by Alistair Green.

    Thinking about this again, from Charlie Brooker's Newswipe. Don't make a killer an anti-hero. Don't open with the body count, and sirens blazing. Don't put the need to feed the hungry maw of 24 hour news above the safety of the populace. youtu.be/Stc42j4Nz2w

    Seen a lot of good people do backing vocals for Robyn Hitchcock over the years, courtesy of @robinince. Glad to be grinning over Barry Cryer helping out on the 🎶dut-dut-dut🎶s.
