Radio 2 announced the passing of George Fenton on the 11pm news tonight ,immediately followed by the presenter playing ‘NatureBoy’ by George Benson in tribute to ‘George Benson‘ George was a genius composer and deserved better than that from the company he gave voice to @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social

spending the next few weeks getting Mog musically ready for Christmas Day . Anither beautifully made film from @LupusFilms & RobinShaw

i’ve never spoken about writing for comedy before … but now i have . A lovely series of chats playing over this week on BBC Radio 4 of you fancy listening

things you find during a clear out

i don’t like a cake where you need a strategy to eat it

the most annoying impractical one to eat

don’t want to win the stupid world cup thing anyway

In a new series of things to eat that are nice if you like them …. Cheese of the Day !! . Today it’s Renegade Monk. Room temperature consumption only . Excellent ripe , rich and twangy . Brie like but with more edge .

3: anyway … whatever it is it’ll be mainly here for words and photos alongside instagram .

2: so in many ways i’m starting again here …so what’s the best thing to put on bluesky to try and get some of those people back or attract new ones .My usual blend of inane comments , photos of weird things ,cakes and news about music and film /tv/stage/gigs/ songs? or something else / different ?

1: so X deciding they don’t want to save my account from the hackers despite all the proof means I’ve left there completely .A shame because over the 16 years of use i’d gathered a lovely and large set of followers who made the experience a lot of fun. i never had the agg everyone else did ( cont)

“ten green bottles hanging on a wall “ could be about flies you know

the 6 rules of biscuit eating is if you’ve forgotten that you’ve already eaten a biscuit … eat one just in case . i spoke to a leading nutritionist about this and they said something about something and i can’t remember but anyway that’s my theory

ok let’s go !!!

so X can’t get me back my account . surprisingly useless considering they’re going to mars . . if you followed me on X please block that account . i won’t be returning to that platform but i’ll be here and insta and facebook . Thankyou !!

Brendan has produced a hugely detailed deep dive into the score of Independence Day and how it was written and I was very happy to be the person he asked a few months ago to go through it with a fine tooth comb. Lots of great memories ( and it’s quite long !) www.cinematicsound.net/chat-with-da...

Happy 30th Birthday to this guy and Happy 250th birthday to all our friends in the USA. I’m off to have a hot dog and a soda and candy and sidewalks and drugstores and aloominum

Your shoelace is undone

#SNLUK made me laugh . job done i’d say !
