You know you’re doing something right when you attract contributions to your show of this quality - listen to this brilliant text sent in by Carl in response to why the notion of ‘two tier policing’ is gaining traction….

Watched the #WorldsMostWanted episode on Félicien Kabuga. Only to find he died a week ago. Fucking hell. www.hrw.org/news/2026/05... #RwandaGenocide

Had turned on the Netflix #Nickelback Documentary and in the first few minutes you get memes and Justin Hawkins turns up. High hopes. Pretty good fun, worth it.

Got the week of #Eurovision off so if the BBC need a Scott Mills replacement, all you need to do is ask. Also got the previous week off too.

The Tories (Not in Power): How do you bring bills down? This government is terrible. Also The Tories (In Power): We're not doing that. Fuck you.

Well, if that's true, I hope they're also pointing out that Cadbury White is just dreadful.

It's not quite 30 yards. But I'll absolutely take it. #SaintsFC #SOUARS

Bought the Aldi Cheese Hot Cross buns. Trying to find reviews to see if the ones I had are just bad or they're actually bad. Stumbled upon this. It's like they had a totally different product. The one I had tasted more like a brown bread with others saying about sweetness.

The guy's 44 in July. Feels pretty poignant personally considering my own dad was turning 47 in the same month as he when some idiot decided to turn up. (Me)

Giving my character in #ElderScrollsOnline a -sondotter last name...because reasons. No reason at all, honest.

I'd love to see a #EurovisionForever style show where they candidly talk to acts. Produce something to change the BS "political" voting argument. There are so many stories. The infamous failures in 2003 and 2021. The start of the disappointment arguably in 1999 and brief glimpses of greatness.

Girl/Boybands Forever makes me wonder about the dynamics of mixed-gender groups. S Club, HearSay and N'Dubz come to mind. They've already had Tulisa so that shouldn't be too difficult to get her back. #GirlbandsForever #BoybandsForever

Episode 3 with Perrie from Little Mix is actually really important. It's a more modern insight into the direct shitshow that brings into people's lives. Instead of it being through the media, it's direct. #GirlbandsForever (Recently listened to Shout Out to My Ex. I enjoy it)

Give it enough time and I'll complete my three songs in the Sugababes alongside Denise Welch, Jenson Button, Simon Cowell, somebody else from work, somebody I'd known from school, my mum and somebody my mum knows.

Ah. A mention of a bad British Eurovision entry, Scott Mills and Jill Halfpenny narration. It feels like #GirlbandsForever was made with directly me in mind. lol Checked this because I had a theory. Yeah. Countries didn't have to send own language songs and that rule changed for 1999.

I was going to write about how some of this feels like it was made directly for me. But the story of Whole Again? Reminds me of Angels. Goes from "Oh shit, we need something big. This is almost dead" to absolute game-changing culture defining song. #GirlbandsForever

I want to screenshot this woman. Because she is fucking stellar throughout the first episode of #GirlbandsForever. Tracey Edensor. You are a shining light in a darkness of the industry.

Oh shut up, Pete Waterman. Shouldn't you be going through the bottom of your drawers to find the 2010 Eurovision entry to call "fresh and new" rather than focusing on the height of the Spice Girls? #GirlbandsForever

And there it is. #GirlbandsForever discussing the least surprising thing I'd ever heard. If Gary Barlow was at the media's attack on weight, any women would absolutely have faced the brunt of that for years. So yeah, fuck the media.

Watching #GirlbandsForever and trying to figure out who the narrator was. And then I realised. With the 20th anniversary of #WaterlooRoad airing from Monday, (this is relevant) it's Jill Halfpenny.

Rare (I think this is the first time) I've ever actually used the Music Video feature for Spotify. Why? Nero's Me & You. Just feels so cool and an homage to retro gaming. One I loved watching on school mornings in 2012-14. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE47...

Seeing promotion for Project Hail Mary feels a bit shit knowing I stayed up all night for an Extra Casting that never came. The film was done near me. 100% wanted to do it. Damn, that would have been great :/

Probably says a lot about me that the playlist titled "Gay Club Anthems 🌈" is actually pretty decent. 800 songs with Eurovision winners, bangers I actually somehow forgot about and bangers I love.

I'm glad other people were as confused by this line as I was. (Good Morning Baltimore from #Hairspray)

Jake Horse Girlie Update: Still one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHaq...

Ah. The true #Eurovision song contest.

Every single time, you watch a Robbie Williams thing and it gets to him writing Angels. On the brink of misery. On the brink of failure. The turning point. God. I love the song. But damn, it's that damn song. #TakeThat #NetflixTakeThat

"Some had spent £30 on rail fares." Whilst it sounds impressive then, it definitely doesn't now. £40 is about from Southampton Central to London Waterloo with a Railcard. To Reading, it's £26.80 without a Railcard. #TakeThat #NetflixTakeThat

Checking Linda Lampenius' Wikipedia thanks to the ESC Gabe video. Fucking hell. This is somebody who wants to do Eurovision.

Ah. Watching the start of Episode 4 and that hit from Kasabian's Fire is just stellar. Really went all-in on the music this series. #WaterlooRoad

We're not even halfway through January and r/NASCAR hates Fox. Fuck this is going to be a long few months with their glorified slop coverage. I would say I hope this doesn't seep into their Indy 500 coverage...but...well. Yeah. #NASCAR #NASCARonFox www.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/com...

Because all the problems in the world have been solved, there's clearly one question left to answer. Is Jake still a horse girlie? Yes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQAo... #Eurovision #Melodifestivalen #DollyStyle

Ah. This is all completely normal. Honestly, the top one is far less interesting than I thought it would be. (Thanks Sissal)

Had an idea for something really dumb. With #Eurovision uploading a Top 20 watched videos every month, I wondered how much it would take to get onto that list. 19th with the 2021 winner Maneskin has approximately 70-80,000 views per day.

Well done TV show. You've rickrolled us. Fortunately, I questioned the line earlier and knew it was coming. #WaterlooRoad

Give Steph a French line and Google Translated it assuming it was some broken mess. Instead, this. #WaterlooRoad

I know I saw the show's pre credits. But to say "previous experience in a merger" and don't show Rachel Mason is tantamount to a crime. But that crime has been reduced to a caution by showing us Jack Rimmer. #WaterlooRoad

Yeah, you know she's actually permanently gone because she looks at thec end of Episode 6. Spoilerless because I'm nice. #WaterlooRoad

Ok. You're going to turn up, say "x from Oftsted." Evidence. Why did you not ask for proof? Also, bend all the rules? Pick some damn crisp packets off the floor like Jack Rimmer would have done. #WaterlooRoad

"Shall I put on another Eurovision playlist?" Yes. Come on. List the songs. Come on. I need to judge this man for his tastes. #WaterlooRoad

"An actual language teacher will be here, pronto." Oh TV show. That is how you introduce people. Beautiful. #WaterlooRoad

Right. It's shitshow time. By which, I mean new #WaterlooRoad season. Obviously.

Tom Payne returning. Heard it here first, honest. #WaterlooRoad

Fun Fact: Should San Marino participate in 2028, it would be the third time they participate in a year that ends in an 8. Because of 2010 and 2020, this would be before they participate in a year that ends in a 0. #Eurovision #JusticeForValentina

Stop being slop then.

Incredibly, somebody uploaded the whole of this 12 days ago. Not 12 months ago, 12 years ago or whatever. Literally the 20th of December last fucking month. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeG2...

Currently going down a Rabbit Hole. What the fuck. Why is yours the first non-Phil Collins voice?

If I could go back to any point in life, I'd go back to this. Then Robbie sang with One Direction. I wanted Wagner to win. Then I wanted One Direction to win. Christmas 2010, I got my PS3 and this album. One Direction become World Superstars. I knew it at 12. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPXA...
