I was never much of Steve Wright fan, but I do remember my favourite question he ever asked Melvyn Bragg. He said, "Melvyn, you know that In Our Time show of yours. What language is that in?"
Having presented well over 1,000 episodes of the much-loved BBC Radio 4 series, Melvyn Bragg has made the decision to step down from In Our Time following the series which aired earlier this year Read more via @bbcpress ➡️ https://t.co/mJEyhHKvST

I also took the #MinistryofMiniMusicals around the festival, creating miniature magical musical moments to the smallest audiences I could find.

I'm now back from an unusually hot sunny Greenman Festival. I had the best time, performed every day and have now had enough recovery time to embark on this week's mini musical library tour of Bromley Libraries.

The difference between being a writer and being an author, a song dedicated to everyone with a new book out today and everyone struggling to find a publisher, and pretty much everyone except David Baddiel. https://t.co/5l5qSbWUDP

Yesterday's song was inspired by a neighbour yelling SHUT THE WINDOW because I was playing ukulele outside. I wrote this neighbour a song. https://t.co/0telAR4bd8

Yesterday's song is performing reasonably well on tiktok but not so much on youtube. The words were written then the tune was improvised so it's a little messy, but I think you get the gist. https://t.co/Dbpia9gDzx

The thing about Glastonbury is it's got more to offer than any other festival. It's more like lots of festivals bunched together. It's too much fun. It offers more fun than necessary. Greenman has precisely the right amount of fun. I love Glastonbury but Greenman is my favourite.

It's going to be so hot at the Harper Party and there's a great big pool of water at the centre. That's it. I'm going in my trunks. My only concern is if Walliams & Lucas turn up they might misread the signals.

David Walliams' Nazi Salute deemed as one of those unnacceptable nazi salutes. He's got form with unacceptable salutes.
