One Fine Day!

@BeatlemaniaUK A curate's egg

What is your honest three-word review of the White Album? #Beatles #TheBeatles

Even though I bought the book when it first came out I like to be read to and have pushed One Fine Day to the top of my listening list ahead of Jenny eclair, Miranda hart and sharon blackie. this came out on audible this week and is an absolute delight. thank you @ThatIanMarchant

@jamescooksey_ It's love. Our owner loves the club and its fans. We love him in return. We know what it's like to have the worst possible owners, who treat the club with contempt. Life long love solves everything.

How do Brighton do it year in, year out? They lose a manager, they replace him with someone better, they lose players, they replace them with better players. Year on year, it shows just how well their club is ran both in the foreground and the background 👏🏼 #BHAFC

@fjd_gough @SolihullMoors They will cross again soon, I hope!

I am grateful to have this #ThrowbackTuesday memory at @SolihullMoors with @ThatIanMarchant. I am also forever thankful for Ian's friendship for making this a special day and for his kindness throughout the time our paths crossed.

@TheLovelyEggs @beardedtheory @IggyPop I've seen him twice, and thee sixth or seventh x

First Eggs festival announcement of 2025 is… @beardedtheory Loved this when we played last time. Also off our frigging nut that we’ll finally get to see Iggy fucking Pop play LIVE!! 😎

@RichardIWarner @Nigel_Farage I say it to rhyme with garridge, and say it thus whenever I have to utter his name.

@ThatIanMarchant One of the many things I have never understood about @Nigel_Farage is his choice of pronunciation of his name; it sounds European rather than British. Surely as a creature of xenophobia he should wish it to be pronounced to rhyme with midge, or forage? 🤨🧐

@RRussellDavies My Mum used it often, and consequently, so do I. There was a Toc-H hall in Morecambe which I used to pass regularly, and can confirm the lamp outside was very dim.

There's plenty of reason to use the phrase these days, but does ANYBODY remember calling someone "dim as a Toc-H lamp"? I caught it from my mother and it still comes into my mind, but I can't use it because nobody remembers what Toc-H was.

@AdrianEdmondson I'm starting by not having tatts or growing a beard.

@bolderston_mark Yes!

Ford Cortina MK3 Your Thoughts Please on this Please

@PiddlyStations Hove, actually

Where am I? Wrong answers only.

@helendewitt Oh, this is brilliant news. Huzzah!

So! For everyone who’s been wheedling to buy it in pdf behind the scenes, it will be available to buy legit next year.

@welshjb HMHB, but I bet Killing Joke were great in their pomp

1986 - which gig would you go to?

@elonmusk That's it, isn't it? Doge. Il Duce. You look like him, of course.

@stats_feed @elonmusk By what right can humanity colonise Mars?

@elonmusk 🇺🇸 SpaceX launches by year: 2006: 1 2007: 1 2008: 2 2009: 1 2010: 2 2011: 0 2012: 2 2013: 3 2014: 6 2015: 7 2016: 9 2017: 18 2018: 21 2019: 13 2020: 27 2021: 33 2022: 61 2023: 98 2024: 89 as of September 10

We will never get humanity to Mars if this continues

@elonmusk Whilst it's clear you've read Ayn Rand, Illuminatus, Red Mars, etc, what is less clear is whether or not you have the ability to understand them.

Government overspending causes inflation. End of story. That is why prices at the store keep rising. Stop government overspending to end inflation!

@CulpaFeliks @AlbumDayUK @BBCRadio2 A fabulous record.

Prefab Sprout are celebrating the comeback of National Album Day on October 19th with a 2 coloured (Blue & Scarlet) vinyl release of the double album & BRIT Award nominee Jordan: The Comeback - available to pre-order now! #NationalAlbumDay @AlbumDayUK @bbcradio2

I better go superviral for this...

@BHAfanUSA @AlbionObsessed Just as I see Musk endorsing Trump, and think, no, that's it, I'm off, the next post I see is Dagan, and I think, I'll hang on a bit...

🙏Thank you to the 1900 of you who follow along for obscure stats, transfer tracking, Tony Bloom propaganda, periodic polling, @AlbionObsessed podcast promotion, unabashed love of #BHAFC, and perhaps more American optimism in your day-to-day than you might otherwise desire. ;)

@TrailpikeRake Well done!

I at the barrier for Oasis, Glasto 2004. Noel is an astounding guitarist, Liam's stage presence teetered on the edge of self-parody. They played all the hits. I'll not be going this time, so if 21 year old Chloe from Stockport wants my ticket, she's welcome.
