I used to find this really boring when I was younger, as my dad loved it (I have kept his copy with the DAD sticker on it) and it also slightly spooked me, but in recent years I have decided it’s an absolute masterpiece. The least August record ever though. It’s more mid October vibewise.

I dunno if you follow us here, but a follower on Twitter last year said their uncle played bass on Yes Sir, I Can Boogie AND Double's Captain Of Her Heart. Anyway, if you are here, say hello. X

Famously, the Stasi politely withdrew from book awards. This is why they were such a terrifying authoritarian force.

(Free of award nominations but tbh I was too busy burying my mum and missed the deadline of submission on one, and the other already had their quota of gay pop books filled for the year)

Popped up the Rough Trade East for important provisions and while there I signed their stock of my critically acclaimed bestselling and pop book. Fancy that!

I combined images from a new range/ redesign of M&S crisps - which look like they've infringed copyright - in order to comment on a Crisps Enthusiasts page on FB but they disabled pics, so here I am with a crisp collage and nowhere to post it, so here you go. My Saturdays aren't usually this giddy.

having followed a story on various socials today, I must say that the sooner the cult-like carnival of cunts and hatred that is Twitter is destroyed by fire, the better.

Further reminder that if this character is abseiling in to defend you, you’re probably a cunt.

Seeing as it’s international cats day (until MIIIIIDNIIIIGHT) here’s me trying on a sweatshirt in Paris a few years ago for lols. Went to a bar for a bit and then went back and bought it.

Energizer of Purpose Bobby O Β· Album Β· 2025 Β· 11 songs

I don't know what to think about the Bobby O album. I like it but also fear it could be a con/ AI thing.

there was a party that I thought I might have had a chance of being invited to, but instead they invited a terrible ghastly arsehole and now all the other guests are leaving and refusing to have anything to do with the party.

Don't wanna go Full Bitch here, but it's quite... delicious tbh.

Just dawned on me that this was released on the eighth day of the eighth month. Fancy that!
