It's been ages since I've done a #MusicChallenge, so in these times where unity is even more important, #EUrOcktober seems the perfect choice.
I’m a month late, but I’ll do #EUrocktober in November instead, so I’ll have a ponder about La Belgique 🇧🇪 for tomorrow…

Been having an Inside No9 rewatch binge and just finished “The 12 days of Christine”. Which is probably the most beautiful but also heartbreaking episode in the series. I’m now an emotional wreck 😭😭😭

Watching Down Cemetery Road on Apple TV. I’m up to the bit when Emma Thompson’s character gets on the Caledonian Sleeper. One slight issue is that the train departed from King’s Cross 😐

Cheryl’s probably saying something incredibly right-wing and telling La Voix how Conchita had a “gimmick” to win Eurovision, like she declared that time on Mel & Sue…

Also, George Michael’s “Older” album is stunning. Go listen ❤️
Oh hell yes, now its the trailblazer George Michael with one of the most daring music videos for “Outside” that’s full of gay history and the policing of homosexuality in public spaces. He brought cottaging mainstream. Now that’s iconic ❤️ #totp

I very nearly discussed parasociality in my PhD a couple of years ago as well…
Cambridge Dictionary have declared "parasocial" their word of the year, but 59% of Britons say they've never heard the term before
Confident know what it means: 11%
Vaguely know what it means: 15%
Have heard it, but don't know what it means: 15%
Have not heard it: 59%

“Let me deal with this. I have a scrotum” probably the best line in Acorn Antiques in Act One.

“Its been between my legs for ages and now its red hot” an actual conversation I’ve just heard amongst some gays in the Manchester Opera House.
