Jesus, just when you think your opinion of Starmer cannot sink any lower. IllegalwarsRus. FFS.

❤️ the Pains. Superb. Great selection.

Alba CRT television showing Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar.

I was gifted this gorgeous 14" portable crt TV a couple of weeks back but it didn't have a remote so couldn't be tuned in. New one arrived today and boof. Shown here Tempest 2000 on my Atari Jaguar. Can't wait to try out my other consoles on it.

Ah poo.

Hey, if you knew the pres was going to post this, you could have made a lot of cash shorting them. He and his family and cronies could have too, but that would have been illegal, right?

"Starmer vows to fight on" i.e. Starmer refuses to accept he has blown it.

So depressing. After 14 years of Tory leaders who were more interested in clinging to their own jobs than helping the UK population. Shows Starmer's Labour is the same old shitty story.

Not the new dawn people voted for.

Fantastic result. Congratulations to all, especially Hannah and @zackpolanski.bsky.social . Oh look, Labour came THIRD.

Seems like the Green Party are going to win in Denton and Gorton. Brilliant. Shame on Starmer, and good riddance to Goodwin.

Looking forward to hysterical "millionaires to flee the area" and worse type hatchet jobs to flood the poisoned media tomorrow. #choosehope

I saw it FIVE times at the cinema with my then friends when it came out. Bearing in mind I grew up on a northern council estate and had to get an 8 mile bus to get there. Very fond memories aged 10/11. It was what it was.

Always good to join in these kind of threads. Maximum Engagement, er, R&B.

It's so dreadful that we've gone back to apprentice. It's shite, but a bit less tedious. A little bit.

On the same visit we also saw Philip Glenister and family looking miserable in a restaurant. If that helps.

Sorry Alix.

Seems to be 60% program, 40% adverts and tedious to boot. Fun fact- we once saw Alice P in Pollensa town around 2016. We're still bragging about it.

Turned over from the dreadful #theapprentice to #thehotelinspector and just had 10 minutes of adverts. Hope there's a sliver of actual programme there at some point. Modern commercial telly init.

Tough one.

Will there be an elec..... No, never mind.

And if assuming they are victims, oh dear Peter.

Unless those blacked out are victims, why are they blacked out?

Ben Fogle 'new lives in the wild' to be renamed 'Homeless people with significant mental health issues at large".

Not meant to sound judgemental but a staggeringly depressing episode.

If Labour cause this seat to fall to Reform with this sort of bullshit I hope they are never forgiven. #votegreen

Like an, er, what's the expression, U-TURN?

Maybe unfreeze the income tax bands while they're at it.

Get popular and stuff.

Anyone else thinking Silchester - Melchester. No? Just me then. #diggingforbritain #royoftherovers

Worst of all, it appears to be the only way the FBI targets people for investigations. It looks at Laura Loomer's little Jigsaw from Saw panopticon feed and determines who to target next. There is no professional or personal use case for being on Twitter in 2026. It's an engagement trap for racists.

#Padel popping up everywhere near me. I really fancy playing but £15-20 an hour? No thanks.

Is there a monopoly on padel court building in the UK? I get that building new courts costs money but this feels like the piss is being taken?

Another tribute to the great #williecolon . RIP. One of the many kings of Latin soul.

National holiday and half price doner kebabs if GB wins the #curling gold, surely?

It's like chess and a bit like darts but with heavy slidey stones and stuff (you can quote me on that). #winterolympics

Bath PLUG! #failed

Bear the black cat playing with a bath plug on a chain.

Brilliant new cat toy self-discovered by Bear. The bath tap. Batteries not required. (Kept him amused for a good 30 seconds).

Selection of records played by me at 'Outside Broadcast' at the Red Bull, Hillgate, Stockport last weekend. Includes some Latin soul, indie, 80's and 60's.

The sun is shining, it's not raining and it's over 12 degrees. Amazing. Here's a few of the records I played out in Stockport last weekend at the lovely Red Bull on Hillgate. #weekendsingles
