Saw someone I know in an unfamiliar pub so naturally greeted them with “They let anyone in here these days” because I’m a legend

Big summer ahead. Little Simz will be curating the 30th edition of Meltdown festival at the Southbank Centre this June. Well done to colleagues for making this happen. www.southbankcentre.co.uk/events/meltd...

Attention culture lovers! Today @southbankcentre.bsky.social launches 'The Tonic', a new content-only email newsletter. It's something I've pushed for pretty much since I joined the place and I'm delighted to see it finally realised. Check out issue 1, here: tracking.wordfly.com/view?sid=MTE...

Put Liverpool vs Tottenham on for a bit, but had to turn it off as there’s some guy with a really annoying voice that you just can’t tune out constantly babbling into one of the ground’s microphones. But enough about Sam Matterface.

If you've not yet read it, this brilliant interview with @sowetokinch.bsky.social by @steviechick.bsky.social is well worth your time. It's a great portrait of the artist ahead of his appearance at @southbankcentre.bsky.social this weekend when he'll premiere his newest work.

Joined the ‘Nextdoor’ app to help find a local tradesman and it is certainly something…

In a shop in Mold where both me and the woman serving heroically feigned ignorance of the blazing row happening in the back of the shop throughout. “Just a pasty please” […NO, NO, I’M SICK OF IT…] “£2.05 please” […HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL…] “Card ok?” […ANSWER ME THAT…] “Yes fine” […WILL YOU JUST]

Sympathies with whoever tried to report this to the authorities. "Can you come quick, there's water everywhere" "Sure, where are you?" "At the aquarium" "Is that right?" www.independent.ie/weather/galw...

The commissioning meeting to decide BBC Wales’ 6 Nations promo must be the shortest in all of TV. ‘So, I’m thinking stirring poetic voiceover, bit of male voice singing, drone shot of the stadium, stylised slow motion match footage’ ‘Works for me, everyone else? …great, same time next year folks’

I went to see the excellent exhibition, ‘The 80s: Photographing Britain’ at @tate.bsky.social Britain last month. The photograph in the 4th image here really hit me. It’s not the most spectacular in the exhibition, but it was taken in the village I grew up in, when I was two years old...

I dedicate this pint to the four West Walian women who chose to have three separate lengthy chats with our already late bus driver meaning I missed my train and had an hour to kill in Bangor… May your drive home to Aberystwyth be plagued by lengthy and poorly signposted diversions

You can bin off replays, you can play the kids, you can bump our games away from Saturdays, you can make us play at silly kick-off times to suit betting syndicates watching on the other side of the world… …but as long as we have breath, we’ll never stop loving the #FACup Viva chuffin’ Rovers!

As a kid, I hated that there were ‘loads of old films’ on the tv over Christmas… now it’s one of the things I love most about it. Especially as they get added to iPlayer. Casablanca, Strangers on a Train, The Big Sleep, Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest all helping kill cold January nights

There are more than a million British people with Pakistani heritage in the UK. For the Shadow Home Secretary to suggest they have an "alien" and "medieval" culture and to smear them by association with the crimes of a tiny minority, is the politics of the far-right gutter.

Call me old fashioned, but if the success of your business depends on not paying your suppliers, I feel like your business shouldn’t succeed, rather than the government making you a little special boy legal exception 🤷‍♂️ www.gov.uk/government/c...

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.

In the latest issue of @alternativewales.bsky.social I’ve tried to cram two decades of watching #WalesAway into 850ish words. I’ve probably done as good a job as anyone could. Get your copy now. Makes a great* late Christmas present. (*views of recipients may differ)

Had to leave a WhatsApp group of mates planning the logistics of getting to Wales football matches, because I can't envisage a point where I'll be able to afford to go to any of them, and I don't want that disappointment to manifest into resentment of good people having a good time.

Just one major football tournament in a group that doesn't include England. It shouldn't be this hard to achieve such a simple dream.

In a pub in Denbigh where the only other two patrons are having a chat about how and where they’d prefer to die. Merry Christmas everybody!
