On 22nd Oct 1976, I bought New Rose by The Damned. It was the first punk single, it was on Stiff Records & it blew my mind. I still have it 50 years on & it still does. If there's any music this ferocious & exciting around now, I’d love to hear about it. #punkrock #thedamned
I read a few good books on holiday but this was by far the best. The 4th in David McCloskey’s CIA saga is my spy novel of the year. Artemis Procter is crying out for her own TV/streaming series (ditto Steve Cavanagh’s Eddie Flynn) @mccloskeybooks #spy #novel #fiction
Good to see Bad Manners are playing over Christmas after the year of hell Doug has had. Carry on mate, and lip up fatty. @BadMannersTour #badmanners #ska #skanb

Like so many scenes in Cradle To Grave, this is an almost verbatim reconstruction of an actual moment in my youth.

Gal with original Cock Sparrer guitarist Gary Lammin, who co-wrote early Sparrer songs like Runnin’ Riot, Chip On My Shoulder & What’s It Like To Be Old. Lammin also played Pete Beale’s killer on DeadEnders, our Gal only made the green room dartboard #punk #guinness #saveourpubs
British TV icons #10 Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey). Game Of Thrones. Ruthless, incestuous queen, best remembered for her naked Walk of Atonement. #tvicon #gameofthrones “When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”
