Ok let’s try that year again, but less shit this time
Cobblers - buy British or EU where you can and for everything else don't sweat it. Every little helps.

The Goths didn't give up when they saw they couldn't 100% the Empire in an afternoon and neither should we.
It's effectively impossible to boycott US companies because they own so many British brands. You'd have to stop buying Cadburys, Walkers Crisps, HP sauce.... or shopping at Gails or Waterstones etc etc...

The correct way is to yank the whole thing out & get asphyxiated until it wears out in 3 days
I look in disdain at people who don't know how to use a Little tree car air freshener properly.

Either Trump's playing golf or there's an election. There's literally no or there reason the terrible trio would cross the border
Apparently Farage, Starmer and Badenoch are all visiting Scotland today.
What has Scotland done to deserve this?

It's weird how invested we are in US politics and nobody else's.

When was the last time anyone got het up about Lithuanian politics?

Listening to Kingfishr's new album & the singer sounds a lot less Irish & a lot more American - I don't know if this is a conscious decision but the whole accent thing is what warmed me to them in the first place.

Will keep listening to see if he comes back across the pond

Started watching War Between the Land & the Sea and by god RTD crafted Hulk Hands out of a neutron star to deliver this eco message.

Dumbphones should be more of a thing - there should be an option to buy a phone that just does calls and text messages without it looking like baby boomer's first mobile.

Bring back the Nokia 8210 or the Samsung A800. Hell, I'd buy an Ericsson T39 in a heartbeat.
Bring back Blackberries

I don't get haikus
They're far too easy to write
Why are they revered?

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.

The belief that all this *gestures* will just go away when the president does, is misguided at best & deluded at worst.

i will never watch the video. i don't care who's getting killed. i won't watch someone get murdered. i'm glad video evidence exists because it belongs on a court of law, but it doesn't belong on my screen.

life is precious and i don't need to see it end to know it's a tragedy that shouldn't happen.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains

Stuff Gloucester services - I hold it until Michaelwood to get the authentic British service station experience.
Gloucester and Tebay services are good but they would be so much better if they learned how to cook chips properly

Can everyone stop coming up with cutesy names for the President of the USA - we didn't go around calling them Silly Old Saddam or Osama Bin Naughty

Just been for a 3am wee - hopefully this means I won't wake up before the alarm goes off for the first time this year.

From what I read, Brainbloodvolume by Ned’s Atomic Dustbin was panned at the time for being a massive departure from their original sound and not following the Britpop trend of the mid-90s but I say this is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard in my life.

Seeing the wave of satirical illustrations coming out, following the killing of Ms Good doesn't feel right.

It all feels like a path well-trodden, performative and "liberal", because ultimately nothing will happen, no matter how much blood you put on a cartoon elephant.

The bus I'm on is idling at the same frequency as the key of the song I'm listening to and it's amazing
