“We could be kings. This planet is ours.”

“I’ve been waiting a long time”. 24 years to be precise.

Leaving Brighton when the sun is shining is painful for the soul.

It's a tough choice.

[Withnail, close to tears] “I have become vulnerable in the night-time economy”.

They say Nostradamus' predictions are too vague to take seriously but I find his assertion that "2025 will be fuckin shithousery squared" chillingly accurate

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social that was a great show in Cambridge last night. Mr @devilvalleycelt.bsky.social and I had a crap day yesterday, and you really cheered us up. Hope the rest of the tour goes well.

And here's my assistant, Little Parker Booowles!

Evolution (abridged)

Lime Breezers are in the shops again, which means Canvey Island Iced Teas are back on the menu!

My only picture memento of last night’s gig, as it was a phone-free event. It was pretty darn special to see such a massive artist in such a relatively small venue. It was such a great gig that it made the nightmare of trying to park at UEA seem worthwhile!

Roses are red They charm and delight us

@adelepascale.bsky.social Have you seen this? Proceeds going to LOROS among others.

@adelepascale.bsky.social Saw this and thought of you twistedwunder.co.uk/collections/...

Confetti from last night’s gig (part of the title of the Stereophonics new album). I keep finding them all round the house and, in isolation, they seem like really creepy little notes. I might leave them lying around to scare unsuspecting visitors.

Stereophonics and Blossoms. After 25ish years of Aunty Lynn driving us to gigs, we finally got to return the favour!

The witch trials of 1612 still cast a long shadow.

Please don’t worry if you don’t get the A level results you were hoping for. Liz Truss is proof that you can rise to the highest office in the land even if you have the brains of a haddock.

I assume the driver behind us has a great view out of his wing mirrors. Yes, that is their passenger’s feet.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

A good deal if you don't mind your car swerving violently to the right.

A few snaps from the Manics yesterday. I love the Nicky Wire had pockets full of confetti to throw as he was doing his song.

People are always breeding miniature versions of dogs, but i would like some giant ones. I want a dachshund the size of a Toyota Yaris

My latest Lego (& “Not Lego”) labour of love. Actual sets, not my designs, I hasten to add. Still got to add more people & sort the alley way between the two. I may try adding some lighting to the station, once I’ve recovered from the trauma of installing all the fiddly little wires into the club.

Here we go again…

Is it about the friends you meet along the way?

It is people like Wallace who embed the stigmatisation of autistic individuals. Yes, I can miss social cues, but have amazingly never wandered round work with a sock on my cock. What he is accused of is not autistic behaviour, it's predatory behaviour. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

It's good that Venn diagrams are trending because it gives me an excuse to repost one I made (hallelujah!)

“WE DIDN’T PERM HIM”

time for my new favorite tumblr post

Messages in our staff chat often crack me up (and are often overly weighted with emu shenanigans). Any sort of outdoor cleaning accumulates emus, who, being agents of chaos, are wildly unhelpful at making anything clean.

It's OK, Grok has just told me the outage ended in the late 19th century, after Nintendo surrendered its regency of India by evaporating and then instantly condensing as something called 'Wordletaffy'.

Weeping Trump Boys Told ‘Uncle Elon’ Blown Up In Rocket Accident

I think Officer Crabtree now works for Yodel.

‘Alright, so do me a picture with a couple of knights with horses fighting.’ ‘Bit odd, but okay.’ *later* ‘Have you done that picture with the knights on horseback fighting yet?’ ‘Oh yeah, actually that does make more sense.’ ‘Than what?’ ‘...nothing.’ ‘Than WHAT?’

Some irresponsible sod put another cocktail bar on the route between the cocktail bar we were in and our hotel.

Sometimes I see postcards on here and wonder if I was the original author.

"All that's missing is U"

The Scissor Sisters were utterly amazing. Like someone jumbled up a musical, a burlesque show, a rock gig and a puppet theatre in a bag, with a ton of glitter, and poured the resulting mix on to the stage. Magical, uplifting, a triumph.

Kevin McCloud: “With winter fast approaching and planning permission hanging in the balance, I meet with Peregrine - who is still project managing the build himself - to ask about his decision to build an extension on the house in the shape of a massive great cargo ship.”

If anyone I know has tickets for Sign of the Times or one of the Stone Valley festivals, you may want to have a look at the various Facebook groups about them. Looks like one or more of the companies that run them may be going under.

fair play, that’s a decent signing

Fifty years ago today, Radio 1 held a "Fun Day" at Mallory Park. This day was seared into the memory of John Peel. He recalled his experience for the Radio 1 Story documentary in 1997. If you have not seen this clip before, please watch to the very end. You will not be disappointed.

I’m not hallucinating, we were just awarded 12 points by a mouse, right?

Here’s this year’s guide to the Eurovision final. Happy watching everyone.
