Lunch from Sainsbury's in the car, waiting for 2 when I can check in. Conference resumes at 2:10, so just time to do that and get back

Earlier, #BoringV became top trending hashtag in the UK, whereupon pornbots started posting dirty pics to it

Break now. Looking forward to Rhodri Marsden in part three- he did a great thing about national anthems last year

And done

Bite of dinner from the Fryer's Delight round the corner, and once I've finished it'll nearly be time to head off across Bloomsbury to the Radio Stanshall show

I like the way Rick Wakeman quietly slipped on stage to play piano in one song (Nice and Tidy) that lasts about ninety seconds

No idea if he'll be back

I like him. I've seen him round my neck of the woods a couple of times - I think he lives locally.

Indeed he does, or did.

Well, that has been one of the best days I've had in a long time

Boring V was, as always, excellent

And Radio Stanshall was, by any standard, an utterly glorious evening's entertainment

Mike Livesley's performance of Sir Henry at Rawlinson End fully deserves all the critical plaudits it has received. It's probably as close as we can get now to having Viv Stanshall doing it himself.

And the additional Bonzos material surrounding was wonderful, as you'd expect.

As I was leaving, I ran into John Halsey's wife, Elaine, who remembered me from the Castle Inn. She was heading backstage to find John, and brought him out to see me, so we did get the chance to catch up

They'd done a wonderful rendition of Rhinocratic Oaths, with Kevin Eldon doing the vocals. He had to read the stories (if you know the tune, you'll know that they aren't actually lyrics, but very short stories) from a script hidden in an old Beano album.

I told John that it was my favourite Bonzos song, and that I knew it by heart. He replied "I wish we'd known, we've been looking for someone who does."

And finally, I had a chance to catch up with somebody I've only ever known on Twitter over a pint in The Harp

All in all, not a bad day

I ran into him on the stairs at Capital Radio once or twice - he was doing a show on Planet Rock at the time. Obviously, this was before they sold off Planet Rock
