Edinburgh places I really miss: Cafe Byzantium on Victoria Street, upstairs in the former St James Church (now Berties). I still find myself dreaming about their vegetable koftas (and the pocket-money prices).

Currently watching this on ITVX and it’s so good. The quality of the film transfer belies its age (1967!), superbly well written and made too 👌 We all know “that quote” and I dare say anyone living in the West Mids has made more than one trip to Port Merion over the years youtu.be/0a1_v-BJ-Wc

Today’s joyous listening, from the fine folk at @cherryredrecords.bsky.social As always, an immaculate mix of big hits and left-field choices. Look at that track listing - pure pop heaven!

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up exactly how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Made the mistake of replying politely but in the negative to a book marketing chancer and I’ve been rewarded with a reply reiterating their diligence and attention to detail which gets both my name and the name of the book they’re fulsomely praising completely wrong.

I’m hoping this Instagram post promoting the audio release of ‘How Soon Is Now?’ will leave readers with the impression that I am as photogenic as narrator Angus King, the man pictured right beside my quote…

A memorial to the actor, singer, and music hall comedian Mark Sheridan in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow. While you may not be familar with the name, you'll almost certainly know his most famous song 'I do like to be beside the seaside', which he recorded in 1909. Cont./ #glasgow #kelvingrovepark

My Bluesky feed is full of almost nothing but love for Brian Wilson, and this is as it should be.

Another bump for this ridiculously cheap offer on the Kindle and hardback editions of Broken Biscuits and Other Male Failures. We’re all up against it with the cost of living and I just want people to read and enjoy this book, so here’s your opportunity. #booksky amzn.eu/d/aWI6TEY

I might have to borrow some thumbs to be able to give enough thumbs up to Alan Sparhawk's album with Trampled By Turtles. It is a mighty and profoundly moving thing.

It's completely wild to me just how well The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet has done already, and it's only been out for a month! Hundreds of ratings and reviews and people posting their copies with the cutest floral arrangements 🥰 Support pride, buy queer; not just this month but all the year!

Now that Amazon has removed the ability to view the precise number of each star rating on my books' product pages, what am I going to obsessively check and recheck now? Percentages just don't scratch that itch!

A few years ago I was walking over to our warehouse carrying a can of WD40 to sort out some squeaky doors when a car full of neds slowed down so one of them could wind down his window and shout 'HEY, MISTER! OIL ME!' in my direction. The homoerotic subtext probably wasn't what he'd been aiming for.
