Jobs I've done apart from what I do now:

1. Petrol station attendant.
2. Glue factory production line worker.
3. Nightclub bar human.
4. Land surveyor theodolite holder.
5. Costumed performer at Alton Towers.

Here is a photo of me at the glue factory.
I appear to have put on the wrong coat. #fuckingwetthrough

I’ve just lost a game of temperature roulette with Greggs. If I wanted a molten lead bake I’d’ve asked for one.

GOOD! That's exactly what it should be fucking spent on.

Facebook now sends you a congratulatory notification if you’ve interacted at all.

Those glory days of chatting to your actual friends on the friends app seem a long time ago. Fucked it, lads.

Amazing news that Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK a mere 194 days since her husband, Rael Braverman, left Reform UK for comments they made criticising his wife.

Recently I asked Drew Daniel of Matmos /Soft Pink Truth to consider a question: what good is making music while the world slides inexorably into disaster.

In response he wrote an essay for tQ that should be of great interest to anyone creating art in the face of global events.

If I was Starmer I wouldn't be making dull speeches, I would simply paint a stick of dynamite brown and put it in a box labelled FANCY CIGARS and hand it to Trump, and while he was still dazed from the explosion I'd quickly make America British again

The last episode of Ashes to Ashes. Was in bits watching that. Twice.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc

I absolutely loved the Arena programme titles, the visuals and the music, when I watched episodes with my dad, and had absolutely no idea that it was Brian Eno who wrote the music. Imagine my surprise/glee when I dug into his early post-Roxy Music work. I’ve just the William Golding episode on.

my top ten overlooked albums of the year, so I'm glad that, er, you've not overlooked it. :)

graphics nerd bonus: great TDR™ artwork too (including totally illegible lyrics, obv.).

When you get an email from Royal Mail asking "how did we do?" it's difficult to resist the temptation to reply with low key Roy Keane inspired "you did your job."
