Unless you have something specific to share or inform me about, can I ask that you avoid DM. I will happily respond to public replies.

If you message me with “Hi. How are you?” Or something. Unless I do know you - it will be an automatic block.
Here were a mixture of my guesses, and where I didn’t have a clue - popular opinion on who each #TheMaskedSingerUK contestant is.

The wife is away for the weekend. It means I can put on my records that I want to listen to for once.

30 years ago they’d have made the same comment about Irish people.

There’s an irony in Noel Gallagher saying that people are willing to spend their money on Shit.

Interestingly, the #Netflix #JamesBond Deal includes “Never Say Never Again” added to the complete list of Bond movies.

Absolutely dreadful interview about Ian Watkins (Lostprophets). The shoehorn of Bob Vylan was very forced, and using it as a comparative point with respect to Ian Watkins was actually offensive.

There were a few pieces of misinformation in the interview as well.

Slightly concerned that this alters the dynamic of the show.

The ratings and format are perfect. Unless it adds to it, don’t do it. #TheTraitors

I never really thought of myself as a particularly bright child. However, seeing grown adults not realising that Joe Pesci was both the cop and Harry…presumably meaning that Harry was either actually (or posing as) a cop and casing the house before nicking from it…makes me think I was actually okay

Is Jimmy Carr looking to become the future health secretary for Reform UK?

Whilst I appreciate the startup group looking to reclaim the title “Twitter” and the people on X saying that they are glad because x is rubbish.

They have the opportunity of BlueSky which is essentially Twitter in all but name - and they don’t us it. I don’t think Twitter can now fairly compete.

@seanferrick.bsky.social I see that the Klingon might be an ancestor of Worf. (Head Ridges) #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy

The War Between The Land and Sea was recorded before Season 1 (2024) #DoctorWho

It was patently aimed to be shown before Season 1 or between Season 1 and 2.

This is confirmation enough that Kate survives the series.

Although thoroughly impossible. If this had been real, I’d have watched the crap out of this:

People only now realising that “Black Friday” is just an excuse to raise the price of goods and call it a sale knowing that people will spend themselves into poverty thinking they’re greeting a deal is quite depressing.

Doctor Cox is one of my favourite TV characters. I’m very excited for the next season of Scrubs?

I take it back, “The Life of a Showgirl” is actually a damn good album.

The people who say that Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” is superior to Alien Ant Farm’s as AAF wouldn’t exist without MJ are the same people who would full fistedly say that Whitney Houston’s “I will Always Love You” is better than Dolly Parton’s

I just asked Grok “If bum sniffing was a recognised sport, out of Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson who would have the best skills in sniffing the most bums?”

Just an article to remind you that kindness has always existed, and kindness will endure.

I would love to say that this was the nail in the coffin of his presidency, but sadly I think this will just embolden some.

This guy is talking about the guy who is responsible for Hot Fuzz, saying that Hot Fuzz is disappointing. His opinion is useless.

So. Tommy Robinson has been protecting women and children whilst also allegedly being friends with Jeffery Epstein?

If this was a bloke taking pictures of women he’d be escorted off the train by the BTP. (Quite right, too, I might add)
