I think calling it 'cute' now sounds patronising. I meant lovely and eccentric and welcoming #marketrestaurant #sheepish

OK, this is weird but I have to know. Does anyone remember a cute British comfort food restaurant in Manchester's Northern Quarter that served Mrs Kirkham's Cheese On Toast and, and here we come to the point, a dish named after Michael Palin. Mention in next book for info received.

Thanks Eoghan. If you’re in Wolverhampton and looking for kicks tonight, I’m talking about it at the literary festival at 7:30.

The greatest British sitcom. Sitcom too small a word for it

Guys who wear shorts all year round freak me out but no pop group has ever looked better than this.

I’ve never been the first down to breakfast in any situation ever so I’m not really sure why they lose their minds over it. It must be an amazing vibe #TheTraitors

I love that Stephen is bringing back the β€œmassive cable knit jumper tucked in your jeans’ look pioneered by @haircut100 and adopted pretty successfully by me I like to think in the mid 1980s #TheTraitors

This is good advice. Listen back to Freak Zone for the start of the Zappa debate. I’ll be rounding up the correspondence in a future show soon
