There’s lunacy, and then there’s Maurice Carassus de Loubajac, who in 1941 sent himself on a near fatal journey in a crate to Dublin because he didn’t like the English.

I’m well aware that I can barely find ‘the pulse’ nowadays, let alone have my finger on it, but YouTube served up this video to me the other day and I have honestly never seen anything like it from a female rapper. I am OBSESSED. youtu.be/F0cdbR5ognY?...

Love the "unprecedented second state visit" trick on the person in the world most easily manipulated with flattery. Plus we can repeat the trick over and over: - Honorary knighthood - Freedom of the City of London - Honorary degree from Oxford - Gold Blue Peter Badge - Limited edition Oyster card

True but-you’ll-never-believe-me story. About 100 million years ago, @whenisbirths.bsky.social and I wrote a radio comedy pilot called We’ll Be Right Back. It was recorded but never broadcast. We had another go, with a script and pitch that weren’t even recorded. The name? Little Britain

In one of the odder episodes of my career, Henry Kelly - who I had not previously met - once asked me and an LBC producer to babysit his son for the afternoon. We took him to the pub. He had strong opinions on the Spider-Man game on the PlayStation 2. www.bbc.com/news/article...

There are few greater radio experiences than spending hours on a late night show with Henry Kelly (“c’mon stay, lads…”) because he wants a drink and a natter, mics up or down, no matter, while your cab waits outside, racking up a huge bill for your publisher. I have, happily, done that. RIP HK.

I highly recommend Minx on ITVX. Only 18 half-hour episodes, so it won’t take up acres of your time.
