I find it genuinely amusing that my algorithm keeps advertising at me to join Fitness First, when my local Fitness First (Brighton), of which I was a member, decided to close down on Tuesday with only 24 hours notice 🙄

Idea for a biopic about that marvellous composer who wrote a certain War Requiem: Britten's Got Talent.

Meanwhile in Germany, the town of Wank is not allowed to use its “I ❤️ Wank” slogan during the skiing World Cup. In summary: No Wanking.

When I studied in Toronto back at the start of the 2010s, I had the joy of discovering so much amazing Canadian choral music. This is one of my favourite pieces by Ruth Watson-Henderson and I'm thrilled to be working on it with Worthing Choral Society this term. Concert is on March 22 btw!

Devastated by the passing of The Vivienne. Utterly hilarious drag queen. I particularly loved her 'etiquette lesson' with Monet X Change.

You know what, I have a lot of good things to say about 2024. Of course it was not a perfect year by any means, but here's some good things that I can be thankful for: - I got to experience a total eclipse of the sun at Niagara Falls, and be on the news about it twice. - I took my car to France 🧵

there is a certain wealth level beyond which you basically never hear the word no ever again. That's the cutoff point. Not hearing no breaks the human brain. We are not built to afford everything and value nothing

Jeremy Clarkson has made an £85 advent calendar to combat Dry January. Behind every door is a booze drink! Oh my god, the wokeys who lay off the alcohol in January are gonna lose their MINDS! Anyway, if you wanna save your money you can just go down the off license.

Friendship is just a massive cluster of molecules that have become sentient, coming across a similar molecule cluster, and then mutually deciding that they want to just hang out with and do weird shit together. Anyhoo, I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmachanakwanzaayule!

A fascinating fungus on a tree stump, I assume it's an elm tree stump because Brighton. No idea what the fungus is so would love to know! #fungus #mushrooms

We are a little tired, and perhaps a little hoarse - but that does not stop us from wishing you, our wonderful audience, a very merry Xmas. Hope to see you in the New Year! www.resoundvoices.org

It has been quite the year, so as a distraction from all that here are my WTF TV news moments from 2024 ✨

Brexit thread (from 2020) UK: We don't like our trade deal EU: Why not? UK: We only get 95% of what we want EU: It only gives us 95% too. That's how negotiating goes UK: We want a new deal that gives us everything we can think of EU: But you signed a deal UK: We don't care, we hate you 1/21
