"A Gin and Orange, a Lemon Squash, and a Scotch and Water, PLEASE!"

Great thread and comments. I think my 'fuck 'em' phase started a few years ago when I hit my forties.

Cast finally off! Lovely long scarring on elbow. Hand and wrist in a splint still, and have been given exercises to do. Was told nerve damage could take 1-2 years to fully heal. *looks at guitar longingly*

Well, on the bus to the hospital this morning, the guy next to me was watching a video about the IRA. No ear or headphones. Maybe buses should offer earphones like some airlines. Or phone companies can bring back phone jacks.

New Squeeze album coming Thursday ?!

💙📘 NEW BOOK 📘💙 She was supposed to kill him. He's falling in love. ⚔️ stabby ancient lady ⚔️ the foolish lord who loves her ⚔️ and a cross-dressing body guard ⚔️ bisexual CHAOS THE LIAR'S THRONE is available now! books2read.com/theliarsthrone

Also sang 'Eleanor Rigby' at the end.

Penultimate rock choir session for this year. Was told songs ahead of tonight. Continuing Proud Mary (Creedence), The Weight (The Band), and Country Roads (John Denver). Not a particular fan of the last one, but I'll still sing along.

Now to decide which album to listen to... 🤔

Finally getting the cast off my arm tomorrow!

If anyone works with companies or retailers that are in need of demonstrating their CSR or are nice folx who like to donate things, hit me up via DM. This is a Nationwide ask and I can coordinate across the country. I am looking to get Care Leavers presents they genuinely want this year :) Ta!

Last ever chance to see Reece and I in #InsideNo9 Stage/Fright👻 Hammersmith Apollo Jan 2-6th for the farewell shows🎭 General on sale Thurs 13th Nov 12pm‼️ There will be tears… of laughter❤️

SO many songs to choose from. Happy birthday, Andy Partridge! youtu.be/8fiyvCeU_Xc?...

A short review of The Fast Show Live. Which was nice. www.gayleramage.co.uk/post/live-re...

👀

This is a brilliant idea dreamt up by our mates @pigsx7.bsky.social . If you have any old instruments or kit knocking about then please see below!👇🏼 Thank you.. and thanks to them for being such great people. ❤️

Would anybody be up for an XTC Listening Party here on Bluesky sometime? Just gauging interest for now.

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

Forgot to add, reposting the original post would be much appreciated!

If you see this, post a record cover with a motor car on it.

Half-time. Thoroughly enjoying it!

Heading to Edinburgh for The Fast Show Live. First time out to an event since I buggered up my arm.

The Monkees Toppermost from @dlew919.bsky.social www.toppermost.co.uk/monkees-the/

Really tempted to call a future book, "A Bunch of Our Souls" because I'm a child. 😆

This morning's earworm. 🎶 youtu.be/eeBf79q90js?...

In this month’s episode of What Do You Call That Noise? The XTC Podcast we return to the 2025 XTC Fan Festival to hear Ian Gregory who, under the pseudonym of EIEI Owen, was the drummer in XTC’s psychedelic alter ego the Dukes of Stratosphear www.xtclimelight.com/2025/11/07/x...

Well, this looks like a fun interactive fantasy novel for when I've got two working hands again.

I was wondering why I wasn't seeing many posts from some folk I follow here. I guess that explains it. Bloody bsky mods. 🙄

A heads-up to another blog series I'll be doing next year. gayleramage.substack.com/p/a-new-blog...

Just Announced: A Christmas Carol - performed by Mitch Benn Monday 15th December 2025 Tickets on sale NOW: www.ticketsource.co.uk/macarts/t-xd... Doors 7pm This is a seated family show lasting approximately seventy minutes plus an interval.

I was utterly wrong. Instead, it was 'Stand Up (Jessie J), 'Proud Mary' (Creedence, prob the best/confident we sounded), and 'Ghost Town' (some of us struggled). Next week, we'll be adding 'The Weight' by The Band. I know the song more from it being covered by Travis. youtu.be/_8hJF-wt1w4?...

that took a little longer but... I HAVE NEW SITE! (please let me know if you encounter any issues so I can get them fixed) boredmaud.square.site

It's Rock Choir tonight (first of three in Nov) and this month we're doing songs by Jessie J, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The Specials. I'm guessing: 'Price Tag', 'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Message To You, Rudy'. I'll return to this post as and when to reveal if I was right.

On Tuesday's Middle-Aged Teenage Angst some of the indie releases of Autumn 1995. A few heavy hitters, a few that should've been bigger and me weeping for my lost youth in the middle of it. You know....fun. 8pm on noiseboxradio.com

If you fancy to buy one of my books, by the way, to mark this #SundayPixBooks Sunday, have a poke about here. mybook.to/bqibv

Good morning and a very happy 1965 to you all. We return with this week's look at the NME charts and there's three songs from this turning point year for us to get our teeth into. Listen, comment, share and review. Thanks! plinkhq.com/i/1531129636...

The founder of #SundayPix is also an author, ( @wombat37.bsky.social ) and has a lot of books. I love them all (yes I've read them all, I'm an avid fan), but this one is one of my favourites. #SundayPixBooks

A long shot, but does anyone out there have a copy of this Doris Troy album, and if so would you be willing to rip me some audio of 'My Father's House'? I would be eternally grateful 🙏

As well from buying them and reading them, I also make books. Here are a couple of flag books made from my old screenprints. #SundayPixBooks

Oops, missed the rest of the Contents list over the page. #SundayPixBooks

Oldest book I have, from 1882. Was in my mum's family. "The Chambers' Manual of Social & Commercial Information." #SundayPixBooks

From an old sketchbook. I'm not the arty one of the family but I love drawing faces. Pic 1 is full of what I normally struggle drawing. Pic 2 are various faces related to Doctor Who. The 'hidden' face is a now-disgraced fantasy author. #SundayPixBooks

This will also be available for purchase at @chicagotardis.bsky.social. My Doctor Who inktober project from 2023.

Listen to the man

In case any readers of vampire fic missed it.
