Bucket list tick.
With us moving to fortnightly bin collections (recycling one week, general the next), I finally got to tell my neighbour that he had put the wrong bin out!

Their early gigs were...err...an experience!
8pm on stage, 15 minutes of feedback, violence, back in the pub by 8:30!

They were a brilliant live band, Steamroller was just awesome when I saw them in Birmingham, got battered in the mosh pit, but totally worth it.

But if I get her a nice pressie
I might get some fanny batter

Sorry

"Think about children"?

Sounds a bit noncey.

If that was my missus she'd be elbowing those two big lads out of the way pronto! She's only 4'11" but has a great knack of getting to the mosh pit at any gig!

They've had a few decent tracks, but unfortunately they will always be known for that godawful Rod Stewart cover.

That's the twat.

Ant Middleton still hasn't taken me up on the bet that he will get less votes than Lord Buckethead. Twenty quid to a local food bank was the wager.

Sarah Pochin sneaking out of Lee Anderson's room made me snort.

I trust you use high intensity mind bleach every time you look at it?

Oh yeah, she was at the Women's Euros in a (freebie) England shirt wasn't she. I remember. Or was that a cheese dream?

I totally forgot she was in the cabinet! Has she actually done anything....ever?

I love Teenage Fanclub but there are groups I feel I should like but just can't get on with. New Order for starters. And My Bloody Valentine.

I had to read it at school for English Literature O Level. Nothing ruins a half decent book like having to forensically dissect it for an exam.

A reminder to anyone seeing that he's dead

That would be £125!
Bit steep.

A Tiswas reference! Marvellous.
Any excuse for a picture of the wonderful Sally James:

Ironically, he appears to be hanging to the left.

Whose coat is that jacket?

Okay, we're shit, but look, my bro there can spin on his head.

I dismissed this episode too early, Cerys followed by Kula Shaka, fair play.
#totp

And then they bring out one I do know, and bought!
A bit of Cerys!

Ah, I know these, they did that line dance shit didn't they?
#totp

Am I just old?

This just shows I essentially stopped listening to anything in the charts after 1995, I have no idea who this is. Maybe a shite Kate Bush tribute act?

Is that Peter Kay?

Now I have:
"I know a girl called Elsa
She's into Alka Seltzer"

As an earworm, cheers.
