Ready for the Ed resurgence.

The Sky News ticker is taking me back to the Tory days.

Bliss.

Whilst I still think STV is the best type of PR because of the drama of transfers, I do like Scotland's Additional Member System.

I fucking love election results. What do you mean I'm suddenly interested in how the Shetland Islands are voting

It's the equivalent of Christmas for political nerds.

I know it's nostalgia fuelled but the late 90s/early to mid 00s was the best time.

Bank Holiday pints are never a good idea

Will never get bored of this banger.

I've had Radio X 00s on the last few days (very Cheryl "I love Indie music") and I forgot how great Two More Years by Bloc Party was.

Peelers might be the best thing that BBC NI commissioned in years.

Wrote a small bit on Substack giving my own view on the new Jessie Ware album. open.substack.com/pub/popceol/...

Also includes a very hungover me.

Fairly tipsy and got convinced to go out out.

It's Friday, the sun is out and Mis-Teeq are teasing a reunion. ABSOLUTE WONDER DAY.

Went for afternoon drinks with friends and walking back whilst listening to I Feel So Free.

PSA for the gays and girlies with taste: "I FEEL SO FREE" ON STREAMING NOW 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

I Feel So Free is sublime.

A colleague didn’t recognise me in my glasses so I tried to joke “I’m Clark Kent” but accidentally declared “I’m Ken Clarke”

If Liz Kendall is encouraging it, we're fucked.

Also this will forever be one of my favourite Madonna looks.

Genuinely so fucking excited for this new Madonna record.

I've been listening to a lot of music that reminds me of Popjustice and this is still a banger.

The Popjustice forum ending really feels like the end of an era. Experiencing Girls Aloud in real time, the rise and fall of Dolly Rockers, the mess of the Sugababes threads and chatting about pop music with pop fans all hold special memories. I'll miss that silly little website.

Very good.

Me after two/three pints

Really unfortunate that the island doesn't have a functional rail network. #FuelProtests

Today's #Liveline being about the fuel protests.

Moseying around one of the charity shops in East Belfast and found a quarter zip of the local GAA club where my Da is from in Down.

The idea of a 4hr drive from Clare to Belfast right now

Not a criticism of the reporting as it’s legitimate news and reflects local political decisions, but it does highlight how much attention still goes to cultural identity issues here. Like does a bilingual street sign decision really need an article on BBC News NI website?

There was no need for me to go for drinks after work on a MONDAY.

I did lol at "she's the CEO of her own future". #SNLUK

Also I am enjoying SNL. It's nice to have a sketch show back on TV. #SNLUK

British Themed Pub is actually a banger. #SNLUK

New additions to the vinyl collection.

Like I loved it when it was released but Love Angel Music Baby is a great solo debut from Gwen. Just a shame that she's a bore bag nowadays.

Maybe we did peak in the late 90s/early 00s as a society, with music like this. #TOTP

I always forget how close the audience were to the stage. Take me back pls. #TOTP

People shit on J-Lo a lot but she provided countless bops. #TOTP

Not to sound like my mother, but I haven't stopped all day.

I'll not hear a bad word about Marge. Sending that funeral wreath to Teresa for the loss of her dignity was a great Housewives move. #RHONJ

Rediscovered this today. Underrated.

The new FLO song deserves to be massive.

Hilary Duff being brought out of self-imposed retirement to cover Carly Rae Jepsen's maternity leave is one of the greatest things to happen to pop millennials since Brat
