I’ve reached my 40s, so I feel comfortable telling you how much I’ve enjoyed wearing my new socks today.

Only sad anoraks care about the 30th 40th, 50th, 60th whatever anniversary of a radio station that’s not been on air for years

If your ‘radio station’ is making a fuss about this, stop jerking off over your old cassettes and start thinking about your audience instead

If you have something nice to say to someone - say it. Life’s too short to keep it to yourself, and we could all do with hearing it. Say it and mean it.

I accidentally breathed in a colleague’s breath and now I want to vomit.

Since I cancelled my TV licence, I haven’t missed live TV one bit. I was at my Mum’s yesterday and caught a bit of what was on, which confirmed I’d made the right decision.

A difficult wank but not impossible.

I’ve given up.

I’m trying to watch Oppenheimer on Netflix. 15 minutes in and I haven’t got a clue what’s happening. This film is 3 hours long.
Taking bets on how long I’ll last.

When I was a kid, renting a VHS from the local Blockbuster felt like a special event. There were plenty of independent video rental shops, too. The surprise and delight of finding something new to watch was exciting!
Is there a modern equivalent?

I much prefer the new styling! Looks like a much improved offering all around.

Why I Hate Your Podcast Bill Wyman hates your podcast. Not for one thing it does. Nor for two. But for twenty three reasons.

Many thanks to @james.crid.land and @podnews.net for letting me gripe about the myriad annoying little things that otherwise decent podcasters do.

It's ...

"Why I Hate Your Podcast"!

My dream last night stood out because I had bright, colourful sleeve tattoos on both arms. I have no tattoos, currently. I’m not against them, but I’ve never been able to decide on something I’d want on my skin forever.
It looked pretty good, tbh.

There is no way I can say this that won't make it sound callous, but it's so hard to find interesting podcasts, YT channels, and streams because the platforms have been flooded by bland and technically inept creators. I'm so sorry but a good 70% of you shouldn't be publishing.

Today is the day I discovered that my Shure SM58, bought in 2008, is a fake copy. I am shooketh.

I fancied going to a Pride event this year. Haven’t done it in years. Ticket for Manchester Pride is £100-odd so I probably won’t.

I am now as old as Patrick Swayze was in “Too Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar.”

42

I find myself wondering what happened to people I followed on Twitter who’ve now disappeared. Didn’t know them, used to have friendly chats etc. I suppose they’ve just deleted all their apps and moved on.

A beautiful picture!

Great to see all the Pride events happening around the UK this weekend! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Gorgeous! 💐

You have taught her well.

Look at you, John! Bloody hell, I can’t believe it!! You’re looking fabulous!

Just finished watching Andor on Disney+ and whilst I didn’t understand a lot of what happened, and I couldn’t name many of the characters, I loved it!

Is the ChatGPT pirate wearing two eyepatches?

I know it’s the end of May, but my finger is hovering over the button to switch the central heating on.
