She’s not on Twitter so I can’t tag Danielle Ward and tell her how funny her show #daddyissues on BBC Three is. David Morrissey is a comedy revelation

What was that Japoanese beer, late eighties, where the ring-pull took the whole top of the can off, leaving you with a kind of metal beaker? Man, I regarded that as the very height of sophistication when I first came to London.

Got to love Seoul. A robot just dropped off my room service order and the room has this, a kind of built-in dry-cleaning unit. Going to try it on wet gig clothes later: the ultimate challenge

What a triumph Nick Harkaway’s Smiley book is. I could go on about how well he’s captured the Le Carre eddies of plot or the whole lives laid out in single paragraphs, but the most important thing is that it gave me that exact same weight of pleasure the originals did. Bravo

Going out on a limb here to predict that Party Cannon are actually the most metal of all the bands on this poster

Ah, damn. RIP Herbie Flowers. So many great basslines - imagine having played on Space Oddity, Walk on the Wild Side and Rock On…

Me, on hearing there's to be a Britpop stage play. "Nah, there's no writer who was close enough to the scene to be accurate, but tough enough to be viciously rude about the whole thing... oh, wait...."

BRB. Just pitching a gritty, urban reimagining of a beloved children’s classic
