I was thinking about the Small Faces' Lazy Sunday and that line "Cor blimey, hello, Mrs Jones! How's your Bert's lumbago?" and I thought, whatever happened to lumbago? Then I Googled it and it means pain in the lower back and OH MY GOD I'VE GOT LUMBAGO #mustntgrumble youtu.be/zXeRB-3nDR8?...

Top tip. While waiting for a new set of keys to be cut at Timpson’s, pass the time by asking the person behind the counter what they were in for.

I think London is the only place where when you travel to another bit of the UK and someone asks where you’re from, it’s apparently fair game for the enquirer to shake their head and say something like ‘I went there once, wouldn’t go back, absolute shithole’ etc.

On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs. Eight years on that factory is closed. The wheelbarrows are now made in China. My latest for @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

1. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money. The winners get a private reception with Trump and a VIP a tour of the White House. So far, many of the leaders appear to be foreign nationals.

Belatedly listened to @backlisted.bsky.social (and Locklisted) with @chrischibnall.bsky.social after finishing The Unconsoled. All three highly recommended. Here are Kazuo Ishiguro's rules for dreams (via lithub.com/how-kazuo-is...).

The Way Forward: Derek Boshier and the Sixties, is WONDERFUL: a memorial to Boshier and a tribute to his friends at the RCA in the 50s and 60s - one work each by Peter Blake, Pauline Boty, Patrick Caulfield, David Hockney and more. The first exhibition to show that cohort in their early prime.

The Lowlife by Alexander Baron is one of my favourite books we’ve featured on the whole ten years of @backlisted.bsky.social. Good to see it back in print from @faberbooks.bsky.social and looking sharp.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money. My parents banned me from watching James Bond films until I was 11, when my friend invited me to see Live and Let Die at his church. We then watched all the films and read all the books in short order. And I bought this.

Journalists quite often get emails written in exactly this style, often sent to scores of recipients on multiple publications, and the sadly reliable assumption is that the irate sender is miserable, paranoid and probably unwell.
