It's here!

I see the Conservative party bots have taken the night shift from the sex bots. We are entering the 'Hall was winning on Friday, but she lost because of the postal votes counted on Saturday,' territory. This is a rehearsal for GE interference later in the year.

I met George Takei on the Circle Line on the morning of the 1987 General Election. We talked between Liverpool Street and Farringdon, I was on the way to the GLRO as it was then. He signed my research notebook. That's my only Star Trek or possible Simpsons encounter.

An obituary of Duane Eddy for the Guardian: theguardian.com/music/2024/may…

Sky Sports once again going for the audience with the shortest attention span/memory with a 'they haven't won there since 2020,' opening.

John Cleese being given the oxygen of oxygen again to prove he hasn't watched television in years. The people who say there are no good new comedies on tv are as blind as those who say there is no good music around are deaf.

It's Friday! Get up and boogie.
