I need to know what this is called in other parts of the country. I live in Devon where it's called a 'Devon shovel' - is it called that elsewhere?

@joebarton.bsky.social Black Doves is excellent.

@adrianedmondson.bsky.social I love that in a House of Games word cloud, "scumbag" comes up for University Challenge

I don't mind not being nominated, it's the not winning that hurts.

Did anyone watch the BAFTAs? Did I win? I've lost the ticket, but you never know.

When they say 'And now the tea-time news with Clive Myrie' I expect news about what we might be having for tea - not all this political nonsense.

How did Mr Tumble sneakily recreating the cover to Black Sabbath's debut album escape me for so many years?

Some days I look at what I'm writing and think 'bloody good actually', and other days (like today) I think 'absolute shite'. It's an odd existence.

Very funny line from Paul Simon in this: 'Guitarists spend half their lives tuning their guitars, and the other half playing out of tune.'

The film I would give all the awards to if I were in a position to give out all the awards: The Last Journey.

If you took out the shots of people lighting fags, The Brutalist would be a crisp 50 mins.

My date of birth is closer to the birth of Stan Laurel than it is to today. Which is some comfort.

Just had to look up how old I am. Fuck me...

Yes, the weather's apocalyptic. Yes, it's officially the most depressing week of the year. Yes, the orange oaf is back. BUT it's my ruddy birthday, so I'm off to have fun with 'alcomohol', and I hereby invite you to kick back and join in the festivities wherever you are!

I was once whingeing to Paul McCartney that I'll always be known primarily for the Wombles. Straight-faced, without irony, he said, "Yeah, I have the same problem with The Beatles".😂

Finally finished the turkey... Slight misunderstanding with my butcher when I ordered over the phone - I said 15 lbs, he heard 15 kilos. It was slightly heavier than mt 3yo granddaughter.

West side? Or east side? Happy New Year to all and one!

Delia says I should tidy the house now...

Just watched Gladiator II - was that Derek Nimmo as the elderly senator?

A real oldie from The Oldie... #inuit #igloo #business #cartoon

Paul McCartney, speaking at The Beatles’ last press concert as a touring band on their final American tour, Los Angeles, August 28th 1966.

That feeling when you're casually scrolling through the day's work and realise you've somehow erased ten chapters you haven't backed up, then find them hidden exactly where you'd copied them to, but had forgotten, and you feel happy, but still might vomit... There must be a German word for that?

ONE family with FIVE chopper bikes? FIVE? No wonder everyone’s furious.

Bizarre thing happened to me yesterday that my teenage self would not believe. I was playing at the gig to celebrate the life of the genius that was Neil Innes. Whilst waiting backstage to go on, Michael Palin sang the lumberjack song to me, in German.

My favourite line so far from 'All Fours' by Miranda July

on.ft.com/4g2cIsn I got three extra suits made when Marie told me they were closing - I’m thinking they’ll probably see me out…

Dartmoor hasn't made its mind up about the colour of the sky this morning.

Well, this is a bit of a tease...

Woohoo! Got another question onto Only Connect tonight. Ridiculously proud.

Name to contend with in the church we were filming in today.
