Nice to be back Hyde Park Picture House - trying my first BYO baby screening. (Yes, you still get a free cuppa if baby is on the inside!)

Pity all collections access professionals who have to explain that no, that thing you want to see is almost certainly not stolen...

I don’t mind the ban on formula ads cos you get enough adverts as a parent. What I do mind, though, are all the legally mandated disclaimers and warnings on formula like they’re a pack of cigarettes and not the only thing other than breastmilk suitable for keeping a baby alive.

25 mins late and counting. Another day, another appointment lost to the ghost buses of Leeds.

I’ve only once bumped into Bill Nighy (literally, he said “I’m so sorry”!!), outside Old Street tube. He was wearing a gorgeous bottle-green velvet jacket.

Surely PR-wise it would be folly to call an election for Independence Day? Granted it’s better than Labor Day, but still…

Sudden sharp memories of Jack: @jacksharesgraps.bsky.social getting his mate to tape classic Doctor Who which at that time aired on Gold (via Sky). This is in no way a commentary on our social class.

Is there a polite way to ask to borrow someone’s collection of naughties fitness dvds, for the purpose of creating a killer video essay? For context, this person owns 83 fitness DVDs from the early 2000s.

If there’s any renewed babies-on-planes discourse in the next few days, know that it is my baby at the centre of it.
