Referee in the women's judo final yesterday was a Msr. Bataille. (Toe-to-toe, it was.) #TeamGB #París2024
Terrible day ahead, trying to explain to anyone under 60 why the #Olympic2024 Opening Ceremony reminded you of something called "It's A Royal Knock Out!"

Not Faye Dunaway, amazingly, but me ... minutes after learning Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors has also just won a #JamesTaitBlack Prize! Photo: Nicola Roberts x
Still coming down to earth from fantastic night at the #RSLOndaatjePrize on Tuesday. Lovely to meet the other writers + @RSLiterature judges, but personal highlight may have been the venerable Francis Spufford telling me he was a teenage NME reader. #RWF @FitzcarraldoEds
Dylan bigging up RWF in 1984: "Like a Fassbinder movie. Have you ever seen his movies? For me, I think he had about three different styles. He had the style he started off with... his middle period... he had his gospel period, and a blue period... but then he went electric." !!!
Just a bleary glance at this I can see Clean Slate, Cutter's Way & The Thing, still three of my favourite films...
From that time I remember seeing Raging Bull on its opening day in New York (in 1980), and E.T. in its opening week at a big old cinema on Hollywood Boulevard... #NiceWork

Just walked into my local #Morrisons and as toe crossed threshold Steely Dan's 'Only A Fool Would Say That' started playing. On a recent morning, it was The Isley Brothers 'For The Love of You'. Big love to whoever does their (excellent) playlist...
