Watched and liked Man On The Run, especially the actual footage of Japanese customs pulling Macca's cartoonishly massive bag of weed out of his suitcase.

I'm having a nervous breakdance.

Saw this linked to on another forum earlier and haven't been able to get it out of my head since. French TV had its own theme to Starsky and Hutch and it's a right sticky so and so. STARSKYYYYY ET HUTCH! STARSKYYYYY ET HUTCH!

Loved the giddy fuck out of this song anyway, "He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw" is a pin point perfect lyric about alcoholism for crying out loud. Have always loved JDB's voice since hearing Stay Beautiful on mid afternoon Radio 1. So yeah, this is a happy discovery.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life (and I discovered it on an album that was sent in the post to my old workplace to someone who'd left the company and they said they didn't want it) The 'But know everything lost will be recovered' bit always hits me hard.

You know when you walk past some animal shit on the street and all the flies suddenly depart it at once? I want to tell them that it's alright, you lot fill your boots, I'm actually not interested in the animal shit and even if I was you were all there first.

On a colossal Beatles kick this year. Just rewatched the 1964 Maysles Brothers doc and the best bit is when Ringo starts dancing in the club with those incomparably cool New Yorkers who are all formation doing the hitchhike and whatnot and he's just flopping all over the place much like I would.

I heard he's opening with this one, ever the contrarian! #neilyoung #glastonbury #mightaswelllgetsomemoremileageoutofthis soundcloud.com/ross-patrick...

Speaking to my dad today about the local gang you definitely didn't want to mess with in his boyhood in the 60s who were called.....wait for it.....The Whizz Bangs. Apparently nasty pieces of work but that's not a name that strikes terror into your heart, is it?

Of course you know who he could easily ask for help with scurvy don't you? HOWARD DONALD!! No. Fucked that up, sorry. Of course you know who he could easily ask for help with scurvy don't you? MARK LIME!!

Regret not buying that market stall t-shirt I saw a few years back that had Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister on it with a bifter badly superimposed near his mouth and GAME OF WEED, not even in the font.

Great how well served the early Manics are by YouTube, a ton of obscure early 90s European TV performances like this you can wade through should you care to.

If only we could all be as happy as Mick George.

Any other insomniacs often plagued by stupid looping combinations of two different songs? Oh, would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are? (WHHHHUUUUUUP!) One foot in the grave!

DID YOU KNOW that there's a church in Mexico where they worship No Jacket Required era Phil Collins and have a big animatronic statue of him dancing about slowly in his pants to 'One More Night'.

Has there ever been an album cover that better captures that feeling when you're in a park and have a sudden need to do a shite but you can see from where you're standing that there's a padlock on the door of the toilets?

i got stung by a radioactive bee i can't fly or make honey, but my knees look fucking spectacular

The amount of people who must have driven past The Love Shack because there was a sign outside that said STAY AWAY, FOOLS!

Do you think Barry White was alright with the nickname The Walrus Of Love? Cheeky bastards.

Thrown off the Vengabus for passing a solid in the chemical toilet. No way I could have waited til San Francisco.

Just went to the Oreo website and hit “accept all cookies” … and now we wait

"Please, Mr Robot was my father. Call me Eric"

Emerald Mine Kampf, anyone already done that one?

Elon: “Heil Hitler” the press: “hmmm I wonder what he means by this”

Dreamed I was fronting a band called The Hairy Miracles.

Future plan:- entering a marathon but doing it in character as Roy Jay so it takes forever because I'll keep having to jump back to say either "Spook!" or "Slither!" and will periodically have to turn to the watching crowds to inform them that they will all be doing this tomorrow.

Just remembered that The Muppet Show theme song contains the line “it’s time to put on makeup” and it makes me wonder what they look like without it, maybe they look normal

Marvelling to myself earlier about how David Lynch somehow managed to top the "HOW'S ANNIE?!" ending of the original run of Twin Peaks with an even better one with The Return. Fuckin hell, the conclusion of that finale haunted me for DAYS afterwards.

This from today's Telegraph, the right wing press encouraging my dad's delusions about having a dog in the 1950s that trotted back home from its wanderings and when my dad asked it where it had been it looked at it him and said "Been down the river."

Father-in-law once ate a dodgy cured ham (I could tell by looking at it’s lurid shade of green that it was well past “use-by” rather than “best before” date). He later explained to me - in a rather nice West Cork accent - that it caused him to “shit things he never ate”.

A woman outside a shop, well over a decade ago, describing someone's tall tale as "a cock and ball story".

Not heard by me directly, but a friend once passed a group of tough-looking youngsters in Glasgow and heard one say to another 'So, wee Davy, tell us about love.'

What are overhead phrases from long ago that have stayed with you? I remember a woman in Hair Underground in Longfield, Kent in the late 80s describing the soft drink Lilt to her hairdresser as "that new exotic muck."

Just found a spam email that opens with: "Hi pumpkin Ding dong, it’s Alluring Pauline 1379" Just amazing. DING DONG IT'S ALLURING PAULINE.

Check out the quintessentially 1970s boats on this feral looking rabble. Come and have a praise if you think you're hard enough!

I’ve a lot of respect for the off license near my flat, who’ve tackled Dry January head on with a ragged cardboard sign which simply reads BOOZE JANUARY.

when you ask Hitler for the 5th time whose kampf it was

Is there an old ident that feels more like death's icy fingers stroking your soul than this?

How do rental vehicles greet each other? Hiya car!

Fully woke up laughing out loud because in semi-sleep I'd remembered Dennis Nilsen's dog was called Bleep. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Can't wait til someone I know next says they're not going to do something then abruptly changes their mind so I can go "Alright, Neil Young!"

I can still keenly feel the sense of outrage when this happened.

GROTBAGS, YOU MONSTER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO DENNIS WATERMAN?

I used to work with someone who believed if you received a knighthood you were contracted to be an assassin for the monarchy. Imagine Tom Baker and I dunno Ringo Starr reluctantly crashing through your window at night with daggers in their teeth because you said PRINCE ANDREW IS A NONCE on Bluesky.

A fun fact about me is I once had sleep paralysis and saw Shaun Ryder and Bez in my bedroom stealing the telly and Bez had a swishing lizard tail.

I had the best 2024. Fell deeply in love with a wonderful woman who felt the same way about me. Oh, HAPPINESS, is it Ross?! Always wondered what that felt like! It's only fitting then that I should end it slapped round the chops with Novovirus shitting fizzy electric gravy into the khazi.

"John Carpenter" would be an Alucard-level obvious fake name for Jesus if it wasn't taken

Just walked past Bud Flanagan’s blue plaque. It doesn’t say “comedian” on it, just “leader of the Crazy Gang”, which, to any millennial-or-under, now a lot of these huge mid-century acts are all but forgotten, sounds like he held up banks with a sawn-off, while cackling.

Fucking hell, imagine forgetting your headphones for the morning commute in Ancient Rome.
