I could murder a little nap, lads. I'm not having one, obviously, because I'm in the shop and that would be unprofessional. But still.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Your “kid with a ferret” story is the most perfect distillation of private school I’ve ever heard. At a normal school he would have just been called “smelly ferret boy” for the rest of his life, and at your school he went on to produce David Attenborough.

I've gone and opened up my own shop now that I'm a proper artist and everything. Just one painting up there at the moment but it's a cracker. Cilla-tastic!

Black Sheep Coffee in Uxbridge is always rammed. What makes it so special? Does it have special things in it? Is it just coffee? What is happening? Where am I? Fair play to them, they have clearly cracked it.

When my kids take their Crocs off I sing “Get yer Crocs off, get yer Crocs off, honey” and it’s completely wasted on them.

I’ve always been obsessed with radio, specifically speech radio, and more specifically LBC. And in the same delusional way that you think you could “do a job” in the England team, I’ve always fancied a go at presenting. BUT, imagine having to do THREE HOURS on the pope dying. Sweet mama. Torturous.

Just a thought but maybe they should choose younger popes.

I don’t want to show off or anything but I’m cooking dinner in an Anthony Worrell-Thompson signature roasting tray.

Instead of saying “happy Easter”, this year, have you thought of saying “hoppy Easter”?

Why are all the supermarkets selling vegetables for, like, 15p a bag? Did I miss a memo? Is this Brexit kicking in?

I’ve never wanted to buy a Harvard t-shirt until now.

I’ve had chocolate for dinner. That’s ok, isn’t it? I mean, you probably shouldn’t do it every day but just three or four times a week won’t do you any harm will it?

There’s a really beautiful bush covered with deep violet flowers I always see on my walk home but when I try to take a photo of it it looks rubbish so you’ll just have to take my word for it. Thanks, I hope you’ve had a nice day. I’m tired.

As a fan of Big Star, I'm ashamed to say I didn't know of Chris Bell's solo album "I Am The Cosmos" but it's fantastic. Like discovering a new Big Star album, which surely would be a thrill for anyone?
