Don’t stand a bottle of spray polish next to your deodorant.

Apologies to the neighbours. I’ve woken up earwormed by Lady In Red. And now I must sing it. All day. This is my fave part: “And I hardly knooow, this beauty by my siiide…”

Anyone going to #ManchesterPsychFest? Thoroughly recommend #DuBlonde. Saw them at #SFTOC and they were great. When I last went to psych fest, the queues were mad and you couldn't change venues easily. Is it still like that? www.manchesterpsychfest.com/2025

How good is this guy?! He’s like a plastic collectible of old but made of pottery. And there’s a whole family of him, all with different features and traits. Made by Helen Baker at Clay Studio in Manchester. www.instagram.com/hbceramix?ig...

Why will Rimworld always ruin my life. I can’t even handle a crazed guinea pig. Death everywhere and no one skilled enough to build a CHAIR!

Jesus? Mother Theresa? Who doth appear in my cheese on toast?!

Spent a disproportionate amount of time looking for trousers this morning.

New series of Alan Partridge from the Oasthouse on Audible. Yes please.

What’s the benchmark for completing Blue Prince? Feel like I’ve been playing the game for an embarrassingly long time…

Back listening to The Wicker Man soundtrack again. Nothing like a bit of creepy folk to brighten up the week. Can’t work out which track is my favourite though.

I return to Bluesky after a lazy hiatus to ask WHAT’S WITH ALL THE GODDANG APHIDS?

Eddie Large was the British Jack Black.

Failing to plan itinerary for Sounds From The Other City. Thus far spending whole day in Islington Mill struggling to split mine atoms so I can see all the things happening. I love clashfinder but it's also making me sad! clashfinder.com/s/sftoc25/ #SFOTC25 #SFOTC #Salford #LiveMusic

Do only older people (like me) go to smaller gigs/venues? Am curious as to whether I am just liking music that other oldies seem to like or whether younger people are gravitating to larger gigs/festivals? I've used a gif because I am OLD. Do you see. And it's from an OLD film. I am justified and...

Men, what is keeping you from dressing like this?

What's YOUR favourite Hollywood remake of a British film?

What should one bid for? ericmorecambe.com/the-auction

With this immortal line: “It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed.”

The New Oxford Cinema in Manchester in the early-70s, a long time before dedicated multiplexes reached the UK - featuring a horror-thriller double bill. It was then one of three Rank owned-and-operated movie houses serving the city centre, the others being The Odeon and The Gaumont

Amazing to see Claudia dressed as the 1987 Welsh Labour Party Conference

Aaaand he’s in Usual Suspects, I’ve just realised. I’m very slow.

I did not know the Emmerdale theme had lyrics? Are there other themes like this.

Trying to think of a better post than “come on Luke Littler”, but I can’t. #darts

I’ve become addicted to processed spicy fried bean curd snacks from the Chinese supermarket. Must be so bad for me. But so tastaaaay.

Switching from #utd to #totp seems like the best idea right now.

Slightly disheartened by all the “we’re not doing cards this year; we sponsored a goat / donated to cats.” Just own it. I’ve not done cards because I’m never together enough and have no idea of people’s postal addresses.

And all through the house not a creature was stirring except this big ass fool who dropped a big loud thing on the floor. #SqueakyBumTime

Well for #ChristmasEve, there's only one advert that I could play to get you in the mood for Christmas...

My 10 year old nephew has kindly vacated his room, so tonight I am sharing with 500 empty Prime bottles. And a hamster. #duvetknowitschristmas

I can tell I’m old. I’m starting to like jazz. My least favourite genre as a young person.

I really want another toastie. One just doesn’t suffice.

Finally got my hands on this aural goodness via @piccadillyrecs.bsky.social - lovely birthday present from @craig-green.bsky.social. :)

Lovely, lovely stuff.

Ah cool. This is great news. Absolutely the best choice.

EVEN UTD SOCIALS GET THE DERBY WIN

The AI madness is so far out of control that "Our product wrote a completely false news alert and credited a real news source" doesn't even rate a corporate comment, let alone an ashamed apology and pulling the product www.bbc.com/news/article...

Playing darts against some twelve year olds and not afraid to take them down. Unfortunately I appear to be losing.

Excl: Government will move to scrap district councils in its devolution white paper on Monday, sparking the biggest local government reorganisation in 50 years on.ft.com/3VBH0ui

Inexplicably, it is that time again! Your annual reminder that every Christmas, all proceeds from White Wine In The Sun go to charity. Specifically, these legends: @aspectaus.bsky.social. youtu.be/x1rw1fx170s?...

Was that Gary Wilmot?! Aw, I used to love him as a kid. Had his book of impressions where it told me how to dress up like Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot from Curiosity Killed The Cat. #Totp

Is it really #Totp if they don't mention Jason Donovan at least once.

I do not know this Cliffmas song. I thought I knew them all... His earnestness overwhelms me. This is very bad. Maybe I blanked it from my mind. #TOTP

He don't half fidget, does Sting. Leave your face alone, man. #TOTP

As a Utd fan, am not enjoying this one #TOTP

Double drummers should definitely be a thing. #Totp

Listening to Cascade by Floating Points and my dog has just walked in room and straight out again. Do your dogs have musical biases?

Well this was a heartwarming nerd fest. #Ibelin www.netflix.com/gb/title/817...
