Don’t stand a bottle of spray polish next to your deodorant.

Apologies to the neighbours. I’ve woken up earwormed by Lady In Red. And now I must sing it. All day. This is my fave part: “And I hardly knooow, this beauty by my siiide…”

Ashamed to say I gave up and drifted away from #BluePrince - should I return? I never have the right items, the right rooms or enough money... And what's the code to the darned safe in the boudoir? (Don't really tell me; I need to learn...)

Anyone going to #ManchesterPsychFest? Thoroughly recommend #DuBlonde. Saw them at #SFTOC and they were great. When I last went to psych fest, the queues were mad and you couldn't change venues easily. Is it still like that? www.manchesterpsychfest.com/2025

Proud pottery robot with outstretched arms and flower making powers.

How good is this guy?! He’s like a plastic collectible of old but made of pottery. And there’s a whole family of him, all with different features and traits. Made by Helen Baker at Clay Studio in Manchester. www.instagram.com/hbceramix?ig...

Why will Rimworld always ruin my life. I can’t even handle a crazed guinea pig. Death everywhere and no one skilled enough to build a CHAIR!

Slice of cheese on toast with tomatoes accidentally laid to look like eyes and a mouth.

Jesus? Mother Theresa? Who doth appear in my cheese on toast?!

Spent a disproportionate amount of time looking for trousers this morning.

New series of Alan Partridge from the Oasthouse on Audible. Yes please.

What’s the benchmark for completing Blue Prince? Feel like I’ve been playing the game for an embarrassingly long time…

Wicker Man LP cover. Yellow background with giant straw man on it. People wearing deer antlers congregate at its feet.

Back listening to The Wicker Man soundtrack again. Nothing like a bit of creepy folk to brighten up the week. Can’t work out which track is my favourite though.

I return to Bluesky after a lazy hiatus to ask WHAT’S WITH ALL THE GODDANG APHIDS?

Eddie Large was the British Jack Black.

Failing to plan itinerary for Sounds From The Other City. Thus far spending whole day in Islington Mill struggling to split mine atoms so I can see all the things happening. I love clashfinder but it's also making me sad! clashfinder.com/s/sftoc25/ #SFOTC25 #SFOTC #Salford #LiveMusic

a group of people are sitting in a crowd and one of them is wearing a t-shirt that says " i love you " Alt: Wayne's World film: Wayne and Garth in a rock-concert-crowd pumping fists in the air and smiling.

Do only older people (like me) go to smaller gigs/venues? Am curious as to whether I am just liking music that other oldies seem to like or whether younger people are gravitating to larger gigs/festivals? I've used a gif because I am OLD. Do you see. And it's from an OLD film. I am justified and...

Ooh, no ta! I love London, but leave it where it is please. Don’t bring it closer.

Full suit of metal armor plate. Includes pole for jousting. Suit is arranged to appear to be standing, pole leaning on one foot and held upright by another hand

Men, what is keeping you from dressing like this?

Film poster for "The Wicker Mannequin", featuring a grinning Andrew McCarthy leaning on a motorbike, being cradled by The Wicker Man.

What's YOUR favourite Hollywood remake of a British film?

Something strange in the neighbourhood…

@bohaynowell.bsky.social - saw these and thought of you. :)

Imagine! Would be so cool. Although, a bit like with my granddad’s false teeth, I’d be a bit frightened of them. Glasses from that era scary anyway!

Something quite cold and odd seeing a person’s belongings all stripped down and separated and catalogued for auction. Imagine if this happened to everyone when they passed away. Who wants my old slippers.

This is an odd lot. hansonslive.hansonsauctioneers.co.uk/m/lot-detail...

With this immortal line: “It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed.”

Gorjus!

Waaaaaat? You’ll be telling me Axel F has words next!

In the early-1970s, The New Oxford Cinema in Manchester

The New Oxford Cinema in Manchester in the early-70s, a long time before dedicated multiplexes reached the UK - featuring a horror-thriller double bill. It was then one of three Rank owned-and-operated movie houses serving the city centre, the others being The Odeon and The Gaumont

Amazing to see Claudia dressed as the 1987 Welsh Labour Party Conference
