Doctor: Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news? Patient: "Good new please." Doctor: "We're naming a disease after you."

OK, your excitement about this may not be at my level (I'm almost gasping for air)... but there appears to be a new Half Man Half Biscuit album imminent (well, as imminent as they come these days). More at halfmanhalfbiscuit.uk/new-half-man... as we get it. #HMHB

I have a single standing ticket for The Flaming Lips for tomorrow in Birmingham. Ticket value £65 and I’m selling for £45. It’s on Ticketmaster. secure.ticketmaster.co.uk/rs/3E0060BFB...

Looking at the passengers in the all-women space flight I’d say it was a missed opportunity to research the effects of zero gravity on Botox and lipfills.

The Sonos app update last year has got to go down as one of the worst software releases. The updated version was diabolical and it’s still crap.

This popped up on my car shuffle today. It's even more on the nose today than when it was released in 2007. open.spotify.com/track/6ARQ1b...

What do you call a detective who just solves cases accidentally? Sheer Luck Holmes.

I’ve had better afternoons. A doctor has just put a camera inside my bladder. No problems, but the nurse who checked me in needs to work on her patient skills. “Don’t be nervous, but it will be very painful” (it wasn’t btw).

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone youtu.be/OCbuRA_D3KU?...

Listening to the new @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social, as I always do with his stuff. I used to work with Steven when he was in IT Support and I can confirm that he was a really nice bloke. He probably still is.

Every #MUFC fan should read the brilliant article in the latest 'United We Stand' fanzine by @spg007.bsky.social outlining why we're are in our current dire financial position. I may not like what Sir Jim is doing, but I understand why he's got to do it. @andymitten.bsky.social

At a time when there’s not a lot to be happy in the world, I find The Great Pottery Throwdown life-affirming.

A free compilation download from the excellent Erased Tapes.

A friend has just given us The Byzantine Madonna by Michelle Holmes and the smiling Jesus cheers me up every time I go past it www.archangelstudio.co.uk/product-page...

If you like a bit of soul, and Northern Soul in particular, the CD give-away from this month’s @mojomagazine.bsky.social is excellent.

It all feels a bit unsettling this morning. My inner Stoic is telling me to focus on things I can influence, so I've just deleted my Twitter/X account (I haven't been using it for a while). I will also intensify my sneering at Tesla owners.

The new Nils Frahm album, ‘Paris’ is jolly good. Very Tangerine Dream.

Today’s result (and last week’s at Liverpool) will not count for much if we don’t put in a performance against Southampton on Thursday #MUFC

No more fact-checking, promises horse-f**ker Mark Zuckerberg https://buff.ly/3W9uwdR

A very kind person has got me some Laoganma Crispy Chilli in Oil and some Fermented Soybeans in Chilli Oil for Christmas. Any recommendations how I use them?

Manchester United have one player (Fernandes, No.63) in this year's Guardian 100 Best Male Footballers. As a lifelong #MUFC fan it pains me to say that I'm surpised there's even one. www.theguardian.com/football/ng-...

Watching ‘Pointless Celebrities’. Celebrities are great, aren’t they?

Have you heard about the indie fan who went to a Placebo concert thinking they were The Cure?

After 66 years, I’ve only just realised that, when I’m eating a meal, I always save a bit of my favourite part of the food for my last mouthful.

According to Spotify my favourite artist this year was not Jon Hopkins, Pet Shop Boys or Lady Blackbird, but George Frederick Handel.

The Big Give starts today. For one week, until 12th Dec, any donation to loads of charities will be doubled. Canine Partners is a wonderful charity training assistance dogs to help people with physical disabilities. Anything you can spare will make a difference. caninepartners.org.uk/the-big-give...

Fernandes should ask his barber for a refund. He’s only done half a job. #mufc

I’m enjoying this city/Spurs match more than I’d thought.
