@michaellegge.bsky.social today's charity shop find, 20p!

Some good news for once! Horseracing next please www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Took a day off for delivery of new washing machine from Argos. Just arrived, took it out the box, and it's clearly been dropped or something as the whole bottom corner is caved in. Brilliant.

@impq.bsky.social I'm giving you two the credit for this.

I do love The Death of Stalin, but I'll never forgive it for not giving @paullitchfield.bsky.social a role so it could have been The Trap Movie.

Honestly, one like for the best post I've ever done. And that was from the founder of Shed of the Year just because I mentioned a shed. This country.

Yes yes, we can all agree that Small Prophets is utterly wonderful and charming, but is no-one else at all concerned that Michael appears to have killed the Sesame Street yip yip Martians and hung them in his shed?

#mershwatch alert! Just seen @danmersh.bsky.social on a Currys ad! What a lovely surprise!

Christ, Andrew Lawrence is a cunt. So embarrassed that I once paid money to see him.

Ha! The question about the phone ringing on "The Ocean" was from me!

The second series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is just as good as the first.

Threw a rock up into a tree to try to get sycamore seeds, after a few seconds it hadn't come down. Walked under the tree to see if I could see it, immediately came down on my head. Ran home and burst into the house looking like the prom scene from Carrie. Don't think my parents will ever forgive me.

@keithbrymerjones.bsky.social so pleased our favourite programme is back - but what happened to "Making Time"??

@impq.bsky.social guess who got a Megadeth t-shirt for Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone I know on here, but especially to these two absolute lovelies for a year of entertainment and for turning Iron Maiden from a band my childhood mate liked into one I feel like I've known forever. Scream for me Santa!

@impq.bsky.social I know you two keep wanging on about Iron Maiden, but you could have at least mentioned at some point how good Sparks are, kept that to your bloody selves didn't you. 50p from a charity shop!

Hey #5x1 pals - what albums would you have picked if we'd done our end of year listening this year? Need suggestions to help drag me through the last few days of work.

My dear friend Waen Shepherd has coaxed his mate Gary Le Strange out of secluded retirement for a brand new album. Chromium Dockyard is a Bandcamp exclusive right now! garylestrange.bandcamp.com/album/chromi...

@impq.bsky.social yep, me too

@impq.bsky.social last episode possibly the best yet. You should do more shit albums.

"Music round now, and for your music starter you're going to hear a piece of classical" OH FUCK OFF

@uncutmagazine.bsky.social great to see The Heat Warps by the brilliant Modern Nature so high in your top 50 albums of the year - makes it all the more baffling that I saw them in Sunderland in October with no more than ten other people in the audience.

@impq.bsky.social I know you didn't ask for more mondegreens, but I always wondered why Rosemary combed her hair and took a cabbage into town in "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts".

Didn't want to tempt fate before it was finished, but FUCK ME Alien: Earth has been a triumph.

@impq.bsky.social Michael continuously failing to recognise bits of Iron Maiden songs is starting to make me think he doesn't really like them and this whole thing is just the world's longest and most elaborate prank on Dan.

@impq.bsky.social watched Nobody 2 last night, and someone gets smashed into an Iron Maiden pinball machine!

@impq.bsky.social @danmersh.bsky.social oh my god The Making of FLL is soooo good isn't it? I know it's pricey but I can't recommend the physical version enough, the book is wonderful and the CDs are all in individual LP-size sleeves (although I can't quite decide if that's brilliant or stupid).

For the last few days, my phone has been sluggish and unresponsive, battery draining flat in under two hours, massively overheating and randomly restarting several times. Last night I uninstalled TikTok and it's been running perfectly ever since.

It's pretty cool that the BBC have turned Bob Vylan into a household name overnight.

@uncutmagazine.bsky.social @michaelbonner.bsky.social where's the Big Thief news in the new issue? I can't find it!

Ah damn, Brian Wilson. Obviously things weren't QUITE shitty enough yet.

New Pulp album's good innit?

Happy birthday! Here's our beloved and much missed Indy doing a big lunge just as we took a lovely picture of her.

I wish I was watching The Trap.

Watching Trap. This is like if Donald Trump wrote a film. No-one brave enough to say "but M, why would he do that? That makes no sense. That wouldn't happen. They wouldn't do that. It doesn't work like that" etc. It's the dumbest film I've ever seen. I think my brain has actually fallen out.

Good luck to everyone on Record Store Day today, hope you find all the £30 coloured vinyl reissues of usually £8 albums you're after.

Fucking hell, Bruce.

Watching Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit on Paramount+ and they've forgotten to include the English subtitles for the Russian scenes. Why is everyone fucking incompetent at fucking everything all the fucking time?

@impq.bsky.social there's a fair bit of Maiden stuff in Amazon's spring deals. Including a bit of toot!

@impq.bsky.social oh no, have I been pronouncing Clannad wrong all this time? I've been saying "CLANnad" but you two say "ClanNAD". Fucking Bon Iver all over again.

I never knew Ray bloody Purchase made an album!

This. Politicians realised they could openly lie to our faces and absolutely nothing would happen.

@impq.bsky.social a very Maiden Pointless tonight!

Here’s to Mark's sad and beautiful world. Hard to believe it’s been 15 years. #Musicsky #Sparklehorse #Call988

Watching a bit of Saturday afternoon Marple and there's that prick Fox stinking up the joint. But at least Mel Smith just twatted him.

"Never ever bloody anything ever."

"Hey Phil, why do you still buy physical media?"

Imagine popping into a charity shop just after Kitson has dumped a load of these CDs there... if I knew which shop it was I'd make the 300 mile trip myself. I really hope he's telling them not to sell them for 10 for £1 or something. #AReasonToWakeUp

Kitson has a girlfriend??? #AReasonToWakeUp
