God. I worked the night shift here when I was a student. Every night I had to spend eight hours listening to a bloke whose only judgment on music was whether it was 'psychedelic': "What bands do you Like? Blur? Yeah, they're quite psychedelic. Wu Tang Clan? No, not psychadelic at all" etc.

Plus bonus Beatles in the alcove!

Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
could be here with me
but I won't see you
'til you've made it back again
Home and dry
Home and dry

Do you think of us on weekends
when you're with your family
Are you lonely when you're with her
and do you ever long for me?
As I get down on my knees
As I cry myself to sleep

If I made you feel second-best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

And breathe…

Your underrated appearance on 2003's Micallef Tonight still gives me a laugh when Shaun says "U.S. Forces" is his favourite track (which doesn't have much drumwork in it 😂).

Making synthpop every day for this year's #jamuary! Time to catch up!

The urge to report my daily Teatle @teatles.bsky.social

The virtual celebrity coaches always make me laugh!

Back when Twitter was just about bearable I sent out a hopeful
Tweet asking for Lovely Beatles Moments.

Not songs or albums - just shards of Beatleness that make people happy.

I turned the responses into a little zine.

Here it is. Hope you like it.

Not forgetting @missyel.bsky.social’s essay

Looking for somewhere nice to go with the family this Sunday? Thought I'd share my experience visiting this lovely place... 🧵

And the time-lapse, if that's your thing:

Disappointed
once more
Disillusioned
encore
I could love you
for sure
so you’re not disappointed or
disenchanted
once more

quit my job, HR weren't happy...

Sounds like there's an opening for an actual Abbott (if the maths thing doesn't work out)
