Boycotting Eurovision since 1982. Look at me being ahead of the curve for once.

@Whomembers1630s @BertDalziel I used to work in a military bookshop. That would have got a whole heap more anoraks through the front door.

Leaving twitter for a few days so I can enjoy the present moment. When I have got bored of the present moment I will back.

@BradfemlyWalsh Hoff's side-eye in the Walk Like an Egyptian video was one of the most erotic moments of my teens.

Dear Gen X and Boomers - do WE think The Bangles had no sex appeal???????????????

The Bangles were a real girl band — pure talent, no sex appeal, no auto-tune.💯😍 They wrote their own songs, played their own instruments, and delivered incredibly solid live vocals. One of the few female groups who were actual musicians, not just singers. True artists. 🫶🫶

@3violetMistyblu This album seems to have been providing the majority of my earworms recently. Not that I'm complaining.

@gabbyglaister It's better to regret what you have done than what you haven't.
English
I regret my decision to have bread and butter pudding with cream at 4.30 this morning when I couldn’t sleep.

Fairly sure the only food I ever bought from the cafeteria at secondary school was chips, occasionally with beans. Oh, and sponge if they had pink custard on that day. Carefree days.

@MotoNutJob @Mattisamazing33 There was a flavour of Spangle that was so bloody vile that I never knew anyone who would be prepared to eat it. Fairly sure that's the same colour.

@Mattisamazing33 It's metallic so shiny in the sunlight and sort of mat in the shade

I had a free ticket/backstage pass to the Tad-Nirvana tour gig in Birmingham in 89. Decided not to go as I seemed to be...erm 'getting on very well' with a Young Lady in the Barrel Organ. Mate went and got stoned with Cobain.
And if you're wondering, no, we didn't.

It’s 1989. You are a drunk teenager putting out a cigarette before going to a music club in Chicago. As you enter you hear a new kind of raw music that instantly blows you away. It’s Nirvana. You never heard of them. They are still two years away from their Nevermind breakthrough. It’s a concert of a lifetime. You still tell your kids about it frequently. Unfortunately it wasn’t recorded. Or so you thought. Unbeknown to you a Chicago live music enthusiast, Aadam Jacobs, took his tape recorder to the show and recorded the whole thing (as he has done 10,000 over a quarter century). The tape has been digitally cleaned up and is yours to enjoy online now for free. Make sure to share this with every single member of Gen X you know: archive.org/embed/ajc00795…

@almurray If it helps at all I eventually found mine in one of the places no doubt suggested elsewhere in the thread, but the sticker was so crusted with crap that I couldn't read it anyway. I'd recommend giving up.

We looked everywhere. They're not there. Thanks though for all the suggestions which imply I'm an idiot for not looking.

@CitizenUddin Bloody hell. I'd be inclined to check the rotors - that can't have been doing them any good.

I was wondering what I could hear on #CyclingWifeys video footage every time she braked.........

@3violetMistyblu Judging by this I'd suggest the first thing she should do was to wait until everyone had finished eating. How much fucking food was left over?

Do we really need to be told how to wash dishes? 🤷🏻♀️

@LouiseCulmer1 @BradfemlyWalsh Tourist came into my Local in Stratford once and asked the way to Anne Hathaway's house. Guvnor told him to turn left out the door and keep going. "How far?" "About 140 miles."
He left not long after. Claimed he'd only taken the pub on in the hope he could say that to someone.
English
@Melesshuffle @BradfemlyWalsh Maybe they confused it with Stratford on Avon?

Is there a more American opinion than thinking no-one walks anywhere else in the world, only New York?
Marc Torrence@marctorrence
This will sound like an obnoxious “only in New York thing” but randomly deciding to walk 6 miles home from work because it’s a nice day and you want some fresh air is really an amazing experience you can’t get anywhere else
English
@BradfemlyWalsh My school when I was 8-10 was a mile away in the next village. The bus was 9p each way, so I walked every day, whatever the weather, as this allowed me to buy 18p-worth of sweets on the way home. Fizz Bombs were worth every step.
English
@Melesshuffle A few years back, I mentioned on here that my son's school was a 20 mins walk away and a load of Americans called me a liar, as apparently no child can walk for 20 mins 2 X a day. I just didn't know what to say to such laziness!

Have a good wallow first though, this is what music is for.

you don’t want someone who doesn’t want you back to go through life’s trials with. Find someone you really like and who likes you. Much better over the long haul.

@MotherN90933211 @CleansedTweets I cycled in London every day for years and I only saw The Idiot Johnson cycling once. This was way before he was Mayor and even then some suit in Bishopsgate shouted out to him as he passed and told him he was a cunt.
English
@CleansedTweets You fell for Boris's PR stunts and photo opps, that's nice for you.
I'm no fan of Sadiq, but "major politician has to have heavy security" is not really a big shock.
English
Boris Johnson cycling to work as Mayor in 2016.
Ten years later, Mayor Sadiq Khan travels to work in an armoured Range Rover, while claiming London is safer than ever. 🤔

@timhhartley I see your arguments and raise you a
3) can't get served at the bar because the only two barstaff on are running around being waiters. (see #2 for location of guvnor)
English
Two reasons why pubs are going out of business.
1) If beer mats exist they are old, wet and disgusting.
2) The landlord and partner drink at a table while the young barmaid struggles with 4, now 5, waiting for service at the bar.
Thank you. I rest my case.

@DrMarianaClaire I do like Vicky Park. In the 90s when I worked in Hackney Wick it was a godsend - just to be able to sit on the grass under a tree and pretend I was somewhere else.
