In January 1986, BBC1's Jackanory, for years stuffy and staid, briefly felt like the coolest thing ever when Rik Mayall performed (it's much more than a reading) Roald Dahl's GEORGE'S MARVELLOUS MEDICINE! For me and my mates, this was Event Television, constantly quoted for weeks on end.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Did a thing. Again. Painted as Lothian issue but is Scotland wide. With NHS England about to announce a four-fold increase in funding their roll-out, Scotland needs to follow suit. #DiabetesTechCantWait www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

I once met Ronnie Corbett and couldn't get over how small he was in real life. When I told him this, he told me to fuck off. I was gutted at the time but with hindsight it was a reasonable response from the little fella.

Brexit was a con. Sold on a pack of lies by fantasists, ladybird libertarians, chancers, xenophobes and spivs. On this day of all days we should take a moment to remind everyone of that.

A bit of a no-brainer here - and could (if done right) potentially be extended from Porty to Leith on existing infra with minimal disruption. There's a whole train line that could in theory be linked to main trams just off Ocean Drive. A thought. chng.it/SyYH9rRXr2

Reminder that a certain national broadcaster turned down my podcast series on Section D and its missions in Amsterdam because i refused to do it with a celebrity "going on a journey". I'm here to tell stories. Not explain the fate of Dutch Jewish diamond workers to a sad Johnny Vaughn.

After a great gig by my favourite band, my partner announced she'd been really bored and despised the music. It finally made me accept that we just weren't meant to be together. I could tolerate all her other crap, but saying bad things about Teenage Fanclub meant the end.
