Fifty something curmudgeon from Manchester relocated “darn sarf” . Was once almost killed by a meteorite. Likes music, festivals, tech, walking. Dislikes the right; fears for the planet. Let’s sort it all out over a pint

I'm 60 and from Denton. The arrival of the motorway was the beginning of the end. I'm not optimistic about the result of the upcoming election

Doing the same here for the same reason but sans Lou. Feels like a virtual Friday night

Love you and your books but I watched it on behalf of my wife. It wasn't awful but it wasn't Lawrence of Arabia and besides Helen Mirren got a few killer lines

@tomrobinson.com just heard you say that the last now playing is in 2 weeks. Tell me it isn’t so Tom.

It started with a salute and then this. Presumably the cult of MAGA will be building camps soon whilst planning the invasion of Canada and Greenland.

I’m supportive of the Hugh Grant Oompa Loompa faction, but the twisted orange twatspangle that ended up as US president is a bad nut and needs to be thrown down the garbage chute

Hard to believe that Horses was released 50 years ago. Hoping it’s nothing serious as she’s still a powerful presence on stage.

So the cosplaying swastivicar is amplifying the normalisation of Nazi salutes. Musk and Trump have a fanboy desperate to suckle on their fascist teats

So haven’t touched alcohol since New Year’s Day. Wobbled yesterday but managed to stay the course. I would like to know when I regain all this much talked of energy. I’m going to enjoy that pint/gallon on February 1st but after that I plan on only drinking when I’m out. I may be going out more often

Got to admit to a huge sense of betrayal but nothing compared to his alleged victims. I guess this means we won’t see future Sandman episodes or even the conclusion of Good Omens. What is it with some folk that makes them so wrong?
