I could do with knowing what underwear they’re wearing for research purposes 👀

Happy Christmas Eve Eve. I’m hosting the work’s Christmas quiz at lunch time, so dressing in festive attire for the occasion 🎅

I had this prepped earlier… 1. The Man with the Child in His Eyes 2. Cloudbusting 3. Rubberband Girl 4. Babooshka 5. Moving 6. Them Heavy People 7. Wuthering Heights 8. Hounds of Love 9. This Woman’s Work 10. Breathing

So when I’m in Denmark next, I’ll have to use the Dao postal service to post my postcards. Such a shame the Danes are ditching this public postal service after hundreds of years of operation 😔

NOT NOW JANE! #totp

I still claim that Fat Les’s Vindaloo is the worst song to ever have been created. Just vile 🤮 #totp

#TOTP has gone all Melodifestivalen 1998 all of a sudden with Emilia performing a big Europe hit, Big, Big, World 🇸🇪 youtu.be/_8gmih2xsQQ?...

Watching the Royle Family and Denise and Cheryl have been flicking through the catalogue and they were deciding what dicks they like from the underwear pics. They chose one in a stripey pair of briefs. I mean, relatable 😂

Catching up on #totp 1998 again with the 27/11 episode and it is full of eurodance bangers. Especially this Spanish track that I have never discovered before. What a bop 🪩 youtu.be/9UtpUGaZz2M?...

I learnt today that Anita Kerr, 3rd female conductor at Eurovision, was sampled on Madonna’s ‘Drowned World’ track with ‘Why I follow the tigers’ 😲 I think this ‘For lovers’ album must be played to set the mood for sex, but I’m not sure youtu.be/ALvBNLOxVOI?...

Manchester Terminal 2 announcing the arrival of 3 new iconic brands - Costa, Greggs & WHSmith… ‘iconic’ needs to be binned as word, along with ‘unprecedented’

Catching up on #TOTP 1998 and I was convinced James was singing Upside Down for years, until my friend told me it was ‘Sit Down’ 🤦🏻‍♂️

I seen to have found and dusted off Carola’s Christmas album. The Swedish cover of Mistletoe and Wine is better than Cliff’s… 🇸🇪

Post-work Xmas do bed hair in the Marks and Sparks cafe this morning. The coffee and sausage barm has helped with my headache.

Can’t keep up with all this Eurovision news spread across my timeline. But I’m glad its making me even more upset and depressed with everything else that’s going on in life right about now.

Ok the queue to get into Marco Mengoni is on Eurovision Malmo levels of queuing, but pretty much snakes around the whole of Kentish Town, but seems longer 😮 Wild 😂

I’m visiting London to see Marco Mengoni tonight, and its been a while since I’ve visited properly, so why do I feel a sense of anxiety while I’m here 😖

The guy sat next to me on the train I’m sure had a whiff of baby powder about him and we kept touching knees and arms on and off for the journey 😮

I think ‘love’ when describing London Euston is like how you might polish a turd 💩

This is certainly a choice 🤦🏻‍♂️ Does she watch it? Does she do scorecards each year?

To understand what the heck is going on inside the EBU, we need the best Northern detective to investigate…

I wonder if we’ll get an Andreas Kümmert situation in some national finals this season when the winner decides not to go to #Eurovision. Will be interesting to see how the protests play out in the next few months…

OMG EUROVISION HEADLINE NEWS ON BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC 😮😮😮

And I thought meddling in the contest by political figures and government officials would bring the contest into disrepute. But here we are.

Please harness the connections, friendships and networks you’ve created within the Eurovision fandom, and continue to do so. Don’t let a stupid decision that kept the said country in jeopardise that.

I don’t have the energy to stare at my phone and wait for news from the EBU’s General Assembly, so I’m working and listening to Brian Eno and Celine Dion instead.

Yeah this feature is just dreadful. It can cause people to question or feel ashamed of their own music taste if their age doesn’t align with what this tells them. No doubt it was an AI bot that created this feature. We’re so doomed #spotifywrapped

Oh now the school girls are playing music and YouTube VERY LOUDLY. I feel like putting Barbra Streisand on loudspeaker, but I’d no doubt get some looks from them and be told to turn it off…

Currently en route to London for a day work event and I’m surrounded by a very loud school group of girls. Plus some loud coughing noises and I won’t be surprised if I end up with the lurgy when I get home 😭

A youth just decided to put on some spray on deodorant on a very busy train right next to me 🤮

Not necessarily a question, but a library customer was so p*ssed off with me because I didn’t know the name of a local councillor or their contact details off by heart and I had to look it up on the internet 🙄 ‘YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS!’ He proclaimed.

Is anyone seeing Marco Mengoni in London this Sunday 7th December? Anyone want to hang out Sunday or Monday 8th?

Oh as if Saint Etienne turned down the demo of Cher’s ‘Believe’. I wonder it they released a demo/cover version of it? #totp

Oh and don’t forget the time Alanis Morisette played God in the movie ‘Dogma’ #totp youtu.be/odIMTAsFG94?...

The Thank U video was parodied by French and Saunders and featured Saunders as Alanis and her fanny runs away into the streets 😂 #totp

For anyone in South Wales, go and wander with Morag, you will have a ball ❤️

Been having an Inside No9 rewatch binge and just finished “The 12 days of Christine”. Which is probably the most beautiful but also heartbreaking episode in the series. I’m now an emotional wreck 😭😭😭

Patricia Routledge and Geoffrey Chater in Victoria Regina - Autumn (27th November 1964)

Watching Down Cemetery Road on Apple TV. I’m up to the bit when Emma Thompson’s character gets on the Caledonian Sleeper. One slight issue is that the train departed from King’s Cross 😐

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

This song would be too upsetting for Hetty Wainthropp.

Cheryl’s probably saying something incredibly right-wing and telling La Voix how Conchita had a “gimmick” to win Eurovision, like she declared that time on Mel & Sue…

Even though I did get p*ssed on at the theatre, #InsideNo9 was sensational. Brilliant from start to finish and so much laughing 😂

When you’re standing at the communal urinal at the theatre and some guy plonks themselves next to you and sprays their p*ss on your hand 🤮

Also, George Michael’s “Older” album is stunning. Go listen ❤️

What the hell is this Gym and Tonic number? This is probably the one number one hit that I never knew existed 😮 #totp

Oh hell yes, now its the trailblazer George Michael with one of the most daring music videos for “Outside” that’s full of gay history and the policing of homosexuality in public spaces. He brought cottaging mainstream. Now that’s iconic ❤️ #totp

Meja from Sweden is up next and “All about the money” would be in a #Melfest Deltävling 3 and miss out from the Andra Chansen round in 6th place. #totp

Oh no, its time for Sir Cliff Richard and he’s not able to keep his feeling in, or something #totp

This is me every single day this week. What is the point of it all.
