My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Hamish Hawk did an amazing tribute to Ivor Cutler at the Edinburgh Book Festival in 2025. It was do good he did it again at the 2026 Book Festival. I went both years, it was marvellous.

Thinking back to when a grinning man sidled up next to me in Tesco and did the Prefab Sprout deep-voice ‘Albuquerque’ and I was racking my brain trying to work out what this was possibly referencing but I politely laughed anyway and he went ‘oh my GOD sorry I thought you were someone else’

Whenever I see the word 'JETS', I always expect to see an equivalent thing saying 'SHARKS', and, to be honest, that would really change the whole vibe of this hot tub experience.

Just started Alice Cooper's autobiography. Already I can tell its going to be excellent. This is NOT going to be the usual "wild men live crazy" rock & roll read.

A screenshot from many years ago from my pal Nigel to bring a little levity to the timeline

Please note, we would NEVER shred your submissions. You take care and time over them and they should be treated with respect and dignity. Yes, we do set fire to them, but that's just a security/health/pagan god sacrifice thing, nothing to worry about.

Every 10 years the speed limits should be reset to 0. MPs should renegotiate the limit using the evidence on death rates and make a conscious decision about how many extra people should die to save 20 mins on a journey

One for @markradcliffe.bsky.social & @stuartmaconie.bsky.social ... Colin Jeavons: the voice behind one of the finest interstitials on your #6Music extravaganzas #BarnabyTheBear

Happy 97th birthday to that splendid actor Colin Jeavons. I was delighted to meet him just under a year ago (something I thought would never happen) and he was an absolute delight! So many terrific performances - Blue Remembered Hills, House of Cards, Kinvig, Sherlock Holmes, Blackeyes, etc etc

Got tickets for @thehornesection.bsky.social in Poole next Feb- yay! Only 6 years after we were due to see them in Salisbury, called off for trifling reasons- and 8 years after a matinee gig in Bristol when wife and I did a Task on stage and forgot to take the seal! Still got the 5 spice pot…

This chapel, featured in a 1964 Ladybird book, is now Bridport Arts Centre. But who can focus on anything but that fetching little Morris Traveller? Artist: Robert Ayton

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Sister Sledge European tour disaster update. They're no longer lost in Munich. They're now caught in Étrappe. At this point there’s no turning back

Weird how smells can transport you back in time so vividly. This morning I walked past a man wearing the aftershave my dad used to wear and instantly I was back in his study in 1991, playing Impossamole on the Amiga again. So weirdly specific.

It's the last day of my forties. At midnight the last drop of youth will evaporate and my sunset years will begin, all delicately-embroidered crimson velvet smoking jackets, heavy colognes and rambling anecdotes. My signature drink: Floradix. My signature sandwich: two parallel Ryvita, unbuttered.
