Well played England . First final In 55 years a great achievement . Only a year until the World Cup, a young side full of talent, who played well on the pitch and conducted themselves with dignity off it - unlike some thuggish boneheaded fans who deserve our contempt.

Happy New Year everyone. About this time last year, I said something rash like ‘looking forward to 2020’ , so now I’m saying let’s take 2021 one day at a time. Today has been good so far. See you at a show sometime soon.

I think I might stay on in Australia, live in the wilderness. Become a hermit. Shout obscenities into the void.

On my way to a film set this morning, a bit fuzzy of head. Last night I roared, sang, danced in the street, nearly hugged a Deliveroo rider, waggled my arms and cheered at passing cars - what is this madness, is this what hope looks like?

Whatever the outcome of #ashes2019 I will never forget Ben Stokes crashing the winning four through the covers. I was driving through rural Sweden with Mr Sean Lock, and we pulled over in a garage forecourt, got out, hugged and danced a jig to the amusement of passing motorists

Now that Edward Colston’s statue has been toppled into the harbour, the time has come to change the name of the Colston Hall. Maybe make it after the Bristolian writer, educator and anti-slavery campaigner Hannah More? Just a thought .

Was meant to be at Reading Festival now, the son on guitar with my band as we played ‘Killing in the Name Of’ in a joyous post GCSE cathartic noise-attack. Instead we shall play an acoustic version in my shed,drink warm lager and eat a disappointing panini as tribute.
