Took the kids to England v Brazil. During the 2nd half the bloke next to me said: Excuse me, can I ask you a question? Yes Are you James May? No Are you sure? Yes Positive? Yes Oh, ok.

Once I was on a train and I could see quite far up the aisle. There was a kid coming down it, aged about 14. Eventually he arrived in front of me. He stared at my face for a few seconds and then said: ‘Nah, that’s not James May.’ Then he turned around and went all the way back.

Huge respect to Dele Alli for speaking out. He’s a young man and it’s unusual to find the courage to tell your story when what happened feels so recent. I hope he has friends supporting him. It took me until I was in my 50s to tell my own story of abuse.

Hello, my old account, the terminally tedious @alandavies1 has been hacked by fraudstsers trying to extort bitcoin for a non-existent cancer charity. This is conduct entirely befitting the new twitter but I disapprove. I’ve lost my followers so appreciate all of you all the more.

Post a cancelled TV show you wish would come back. Whites, in its mere 6 episodes, is one of the funniest, most brilliant things to ever be cancelled. @alandavies1 , please make it come back (I don’t care that it’s been 13 years).

Terribly sad news this morning that ⁦ @calbo ⁩ has passed away. I can’t believe it and my heart goes out to Cal’s family. I don’t know what’s happening in this pic but we’re obviously laughing about something as was usual. I hadn’t seen her for a few years and I’m shocked.

Bob Monkhouse, when meeting someone new, would hold out his hand, smile and say: ‘Bob Monkhouse.’ It put you at your ease. First time I tried it was on meeting former Olympian Kriss Akabusi. Holding out my hand I said: Alan Davies! What? Alan Davies… Oh, nice to meet you, Dave.

Heard the R4 obit when Kissinger died. Tributes quoted from many people. Then-in the interests of balance-they quoted Rolling Stone magazine who said (paraphrasing) he was an evil bastard responsible for the deaths of millions. I’m going to get all my news from Rolling Stone now.

Had a space in my hectic fringe diary and filled it with a man doing a vent act with an apple. It was peak Edinburgh Fringe and one of the funniest shows I’ve seen for years, and it’s not listed under comedy. And his ventriloquism is next level. 5*

Loving this classic by CLR James. Reading it on my holidays. Much more than a sports book, a social history of Trinidad and of British colonial and post colonial life and attitudes. Although published in the 60s its wisdom is timeless. Also superb for cricket lovers…
