The sleazy, cheesy waiter from Benidorm - Jake Canuso - was one of the dancers on #totp
Didn't catch the band, but they were the ones who were desecrating Hot Chocolate's 'You Sexy Thing'

Brighton seem such a joyous club to support.
Remember going to see them against Leyton Orient at Brisbane Road when they were bottom of the league around 1996/97.
Def one of the coldest matches I've been to, and enough to stop Mrs Northern Shrew from ever going to another football match since 🤣

Another defeat for Shrewsbury at Stockport tonight... Feels like we have a bit of fight, but it's not going to be enough as the games start to count down..
Didn't even make the journey to the closest match to home.. 😞
