Look, times are tough in the dating pool.

It’s The Weekend!*

Jake Thackray - satirist, joker, protest singer, folk singer, pop star and social commentator rolled into one, whose records are among the most inventively arranged of the late sixties. Once he was all over television and radio, now he's barely mentioned. timworthington.org/2021/08/03/j...

I agree with Ed. Jim Ratcliffe is a Billionaire who moved his money away from Britain to avoid paying taxes that would pay for the public services he relies upon. Accusing others of ‘draining the state’ only draws attention to his own attempts to extract personal wealth and avoid paying his dues.

Oh, it would appear I have norovirus. Wash your hands, you dirty fucks!

The night before my early morning tests at the eye clinic, I guess it’s only right that I should be throwing up. I’m going to have a little lie down.

Barry Kent has almost definitely enjoyed a lunchtime snifter with Steven Toast during the filming of a mid-tier "Crown Court". #ToastofLondon

Ooft, it’s been a rough one, tonight. Trying not to book a hotel for after my tests on Thursday because I know I’ll just want to go to sleep when it’s all over.

Watching old Westminster Dog Show videos on YouTube and I know it’s a language difference, but I do wish the commentators would stop saying “there’s a lot of spunk out there”

God, I wish was drunk.

Oh good, mum’s in a foul mood. I wonder if I can stretch out my shower to Bobby Ewing proportions…

Dad’s night out with the crinklies, tonight. Bribery sweets acquired and headphones charged. One more massive coffee and I should be good to go!

Jane Austen wrote some great first lines, none better than this.

It was on this date in 1981 that one of the most important television programmes of all time was first shown.

Myself and @ricardoautobahn.co.uk have made a novelty pop song covering a TV favourite to try raise a few quid for the running costs of community station @noiseboxradio.com which have doubled recently. Just dont tell Chisholm! houseofsplain.bandcamp.com/album/noiseb...

Ignore the smears, I was never a close friend of Mr Blobby.

NGL, Neil Buchanan selling the concept of Art Attack for a Bond villain amount of money then just going on tour playing guitar in his metal band as he never has to work another day in his life is the most relatable thing any celebrity has ever done. Absolute king shit. 👑

You Matter*

I miss the glory days of ridiculous sheets of stickers on magazines featuring everything from Take That to Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Goronwy Roberts...

Ben and I got drunk and made a record to fund @noiseboxradio.com, which has become so popular the PRS fees have skyrocketed. So go and buy it, it's a Eurodance version of the theme from Minder like I might have done with Daz twenty years ago.

i just saw someone say "Kid Rock makes music for the people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody" and hol up i need a minute

judge a quarterback by whether or not he defrauds millions of dollars from poor people

I’m so tired of everything.

An Olympics with much longer pauses between events. Pinter Olympics.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Was cutting up a 1960s Woman’s Realm magazine for collage material & found this unabashedly insatiable size queen penguin

Also pornbot, while I do appreciate the big tit pictures, not now, I’m busy with health anxiety.

Sunday scaries again. This coming week is more eye tests and honestly, there’s comfort in the limbo of not knowing.

Dad’s feeling better today. I asked him if he wanted me to go get his paper for him, he told me no and looked at me like I had two heads or something. 🤷‍♀️

Happy 40th anniversary Rollie Tyler! Here’s to one of the forgotten bangers of the 80s.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote the food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide COLOR TASTE TEXTURE. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience required. My goal is to help kids avoid food related trauma and offer a balm of kindness for anyone who couldn’t escape it.

No, I will not be getting up today. But thank you for your suggestion #DogsOfBluesky

sabrina carpenter singing islands in the stream w the muppets has healed me in ways i did not know i needed

Guess which dickhead forgot to eat lunch and almost did a falling over?

I can almost smell the coffee from Lawsons!

But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?

Like almost everyone else, I thought this was a spoof - but no
