What if Prince Hairy is actually doing an art performance piece about the nature of self-entitlement and unearned privilege as a statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care?

I'm beginning to think that Prince Hairy is the greatest satirist since Peter Cook

On Fridays, I write a summary of media coverage for an organisation which is mainly physics-focused. It's funny, but since I've been watching The Big Bang Theory, I'm sometimes convinced that I understand much more about theoretical physics. (I don't, though.)

Did I want to go the garden centre? No. Did I want to have lunch at the garden centre? No. Did I realise that the garden centre café is a welcoming space that serves bottled London Pride and great filled ciabattas and is staffed by some lovely people and did I mention the London Pride?

Any traditional #Greek musicians out there who would be available for a Greek-themed function at The Fountain Inn, Bridgwater, Somerset, in June — ideally the 28th?

The 'epilogue' to a memoir by a notable figure in popular music. But who could be responsible for such tripe?

Say 'hi' to our latest entry to the AI Photo gallery. It's happy-go-lucky Winston Smith, hero of George Eliot's knockabout farce, 1984. Chin up, Winston — O'Brien wants to attach an electrode to your windpipe! #greatnovels Remember: choose AI for all the facts.

Struggling with Hacks. It's not funny enough for a comedy. Worse: there's 'learning' involved and that usually signifies that there will soon be 'hugging'.

For some - hopefully non-divorce-related - reason, Mrs B is watching Gordon Ramsay bollocking US restaurateurs. Given the shitshow we once endured at his, ahem, gastropub in Limehouse, I'd say 1. He's got a bleedin' nerve, and 2. It's why I'm sitting in the garden in a jumper.

The presence of Patti Smith doing whatever it is she does in the opening credits and the dread Simon Cowell as the first talking head signified the end of a 120-minute Netflix documentary on Clive Davis, i.e. 118 minutes early.

"Green figs and yogurt. Coffee, very black." Along with 007's Istanbul breakfast order, I adore much in 'From Russia with Love'. The Robert Shaw stuff on the train, bon viveur Kerim Bey, Rosa Klebb's killer shoes, etc. Tho' Mrs B suspects another factor maybe at play...

I watch 30 mins of comedy to accompany my morning routine of old-geezer exercises. While 'Bored to Death' doesn't scale the heights of 'Curb' or 'Silicon Valley', damn, I'm rather going to miss it.

Ten years ago to the day, I hit myself on the left thumb with a hatchet while chopping up firewood. One of those injuries where you don't want to take your glove off and see what's underneath. It started throbbing like hell yesterday. God knows* what Jesus is going through this week. *He would, obv

Having stoners answer customer service calls is so effective. My grocery delivery got stolen (so I'm mad) so I called the store & some dude was like "Seriously? Damn, what the fuck" and I was like "Right? Dude, I know" and he's like "Fuck dude, let me get this fixed" and I was like "Bro, thank you."

Mrs B is rewatching Wild at Heart, the vets 'n' vipers feelgood drama set in deepest Afrikey, and I'm realising why I skipped it first time round. For one thing, Amanda Holden just fired Hayley Mills, which I believe is actually against the Laws of England.
