I wasn't watching live as the ads do my head in, but there was a far better vibe. The Manc legends were a nice touch and even Noel was on gracious form. Plus the genuine OMG! of guest stars turning up was ace. Rosalia winning what was assumed to be the Taylor award was the final chefs kiss, too.

the Observer's 'they moved the Brits to Manchester but only one winner came from there' was a weird take. The show being opened by someone who is the world's biggest male popstar who grew up down the road in Cheshire obviously was edited out.

There's less than two hours left of LGBTQ+ History Month but in a way that's but a trifle, for our history is part of EVERYONE'S history and, yes of course some of us have books out, did I mention mi...

If I was charging people for it, then suggestions are welcome, but this is me showing enthusiasm and giddiness and joy.

Instead of dropping a link to where you would prefer me to do my project, just have a think about how that comes across. β€˜I like what you do but can you do it here because it’s easier and more convenient for me’.

I do a thing that involves posts on three platforms and updating a playlist on another. I love doing it but it increasingly takes up more time every single day. I can only apologise for where I post these things, but you don’t get to be all entitled and expect me to start another for your ease.

This 1988 TOTP has a run of fantasticness for the first five tracks

I need someone to mix my album. And then a label to release it now The Dark Outside doesn’t anymore.
