I’ve spent my life standing up for my LGBTQ friends and family and I hope I’ve been a good ally. But I realise I need to do more. I’ll get on it. If you need help, I’m here x

Oh god. I have wine and been sucked into “Every Number 1 of the 80s” on a music channel. Currently ‘Take My Breath Away’. Fun fact: the lyrics were written by Giorgio Moroder’s car mechanic.

Being a teenager in the Midlands in the early 90s, you were legally obliged to love the Wonder Stuff. You were given a copy of ‘Hup’ on your first day of big school. #totp

Still happy for an unexpectedly Kate Pierson heavy Friday night #totp

As much as I love REM, I believe they would agree with me that this was not their finest hour #totp

I was sexed up once. Ruined the curtains. #totp

Fuck off T’Pau were still hanging about in 1991 #totp

On the rare occasions I play snooker I still sing this song under my breath to remember the order of the balls #totp

Everybody had matching towels!!! Tune!!! #totp

None of the singers were in the same recording studio or - indeed - key #totp

What the fuck did the children do to deserve this? #totp

It’s a rather ballsy move to call yourself Mr Vegas. Unless his actual name is Jeff Vegas #totp

I prefer the Futurama version #totp

Pop fact: Dan Wilson of Semisonic co-wrote Someone Like You with Adele and now sleeps on a big pile of cash #totp

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap.

I’ve reached the age where I’ve just muttered “Oh. That’s an interesting new pain.”

Football. Bloody hell.

A genre of film I quite enjoy is “Films starring Daniel Radcliffe because he thought it looked fun even though he doesn’t have to work a day in his life”

Is Will wearing a chastity belt? #totp

PSA: The greatest 80s high school romance ‘Say Anything…’ is on Netflix.

A lot more man made fibres in 1999 than I remember. #totp

Have they considered a bald shortsighted Bond who gets a bit wheezy climbing stairs?

I have just blasted this GODDAMN MASTERPIECE throughout the house and feel so much better.

Possibly the greatest joke ever recorded. There’s not a dad amongst us who doesn’t do this.

Looking out the window, seems like Ming the Merciless has been at the weather machine again.

Please enjoy this picture of Jimmy White dressed as Noddy and Isla Fisher as Penelope Pitstop on Big Break before Hollywood came calling for her.

I went on a diabetes course this morning. I did not find out how to sell diabetes.

Ive spent this morning watching Miles Jupp and Danny Dyer discuss Postman Pat.

Happy birthday Ewa. Here’s a picture of Coco. A v good cat despite her frequent insistence that she is, in fact, a penguin.

Excellent Simpsons reference from the Sky EPG description writers.

Fuck me. This is a moronic fucking country. Well, at least Susanna Hoffs is on TOTP later.

Just seen the Villa/Spurs score. Well, where’s the fun in that?

I’ve just realised I don’t have to wait for a party to make cheese and pineapple on sticks. I’m an adult and can eat them whenever I want.

I am watching a silly 90s thriller. The edge is taking off it somewhat as the bad guy is called Nicholas Parsons.

Will Downing is the name of a boy in the year below you at school #totp

Is Gary not staying? #totp

I got all nostalgic and then wrote about it. Why not have a read? Thanks!

I’ve spent the week watching a load of 80s kids’ sci-fi films and then wrote about them. Why not wallow in some nostalgia?

Not sure I’m emotionally in the right place to go and watch E.T. at the cinema tonight. At least I’m at the back of the screen when the emotional wreckage goes flying everywhere.

Now officially on the heart transplant list. Need to get my heart transplant grab bag ready. Which is the same as my zombie apocalypse grab bag but without the shovel.

I’ve spent the weekend watching 80s kids sci-fi movies and now you’re all going to have to read the Substack I’m writing about them.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Star Wars/Trek, LotR, or Marvel.

To be fair, I’ve had the same sort of argument with my cat in the front garden.

Mark Williams hates Kim Wilde. #totp

Snooker isn’t even a sport #totp

Watched Space Camp and The Last Starfighter last weekend. Which means I think I’m legally obliged to watch Explorers this weekend.

Oh good. I’m in a “Great. I’m dying and I get to spend my day in a series of pointless fucking meetings” kind of mood.

My hairline.

Well, the one I use most is “I don't regret this, but I both rue and lament it”
