The only 4 days in history when golf has ever truly been cool. Puerto Rican Hall of Famer Chi Chi Rodriguez and his caddy Carl Howard at the 1975 US Masters at Augusta National GC.

got banned for life from the TaleSpin forums for suggesting that Baloo in TaleSpin is NOT the same bear as Baloo in The Jungle Book. People were screaming at me to shut the fuck up even though I provided EVIDENCE

Could this Mark Carney guy be any more impressive? www.facebook.com/share/1Z1c3H...

Proper warm up here at 8,700ft today (Isola 2000). Instant removal of all unnecessary clobber.

Nobody should take particular pride in going to an Ivy League school (it’s fine, whatever, congrats your parents had money to spend), but it’s especially unseemly to brag about or even mention it when you’re past 30. That’s more than enough time to have actual accomplishments.

More gorgeous poster art from the great @slipperyjack.bsky.social for our new short film, THE FAIRY MOON, directed by Craig Williams, lit by Sean Price Williams, produced by yours truly. COMING SOON

This fella was waiting for us at the French house 😀

Some lovely title artwork for our little film coming through from the legendary @slipperyjack.bsky.social

Recording the soundtrack to our new short film, THE FAIRY MOON with a select group of singers conducted by Caspar Sélén in the Swiss Church at Endell Street.

Teeing off on the 17th at West Hill GC

The greatest history book I've personally ever read is Ruth Scurr's Fatal Purity, about Robespierre. This podcast is a must listen.

It's been a lot of fun rehearsing opera quartets with Tiger Vocal 2.0 in readiness for a musical evening at Café Fidelio, Clerkenwell, on 15 March. Here "Non Ti Fidar" from Mozart's Don Giovanni.

One of the few genuine journalists operating in this country, fearless and indomitable (despite how many fifth rate, mediocre men have tried to shut her up).

Brilliant, scabrous film. Like a Ray Cooney farce directed by Tobe Hooper.

It's often said, but it isn't true, that Citizen Kane is Donald Trump's favourite film. I wrote a paragraph two years ago addressing how little the former had to say about the latter.
