Flum
I had talent in a previous life.
- Blame it On The Weatherman is about that time Michael Fish failed to predict a hurricane. #totp
- It’s always difficult to do a dance routine to a ballad, isn’t it? No wonder Westlife stuck to stools. #totp
- Ah, we are now in the golden era of Tina Cousins turning up everywhere, regardless of whether anyone wanted her to be there or not. What a time to be alive! Or, at least, to be Tina Cousins. #totp
- If I was tough - and I might be. YOU DON’T KNOW ME - then I would not be too happy about someone saying I “got rough” whenever the going got tough. #totp
- Underworld are immense. #totp
- Better Best Forgotten is about your PE kit on a day when you have to do swimming. #totp
- Kele le frock. #totp
- What are you up to tonight, Andy? “Oh, just watching girls.” Bit creepy, no? “But I’m soundtracking it, that makes it ok, right?” #totp
- Ronan, just because this song’s for Comic Relief you don’t need to put on a funny voice. Oh, you weren’t… #totp
- You Stole The Sun From My Heart amply demonstrates why there was no need for the Manics to release anything after the Everything Must Go album. Maybe Masses Against The Classes. But nothing else. #totp
- At My Most Beautiful is REM at their most beautiful. #totp
- The desire to put nineties and noughties pop stars in school uniform was, and remains, very odd. #totp
- Travis are the sound of Scotland being kicked out of the World Cup during the group stages, over and over again. #totp
- How Do You Do by Roxette is a banger. This is not How Do You Do by Roxette. It is not a banger. #totp
- The Top of the Pops audience are very much not here to see The Beautiful South. #totp
- Lisa from Steps (she’s the one with the dark hair) continuing to represent for the skirt over trousers trend, but some things are better best forgotten. #totp
- Sky Sports do this for the netball (and, I assume, other sports that are not as good as netball) on their YouTube channel and it is _really_ annoying.
- GIG UPDATE: Orla Gartland. The OG that is OG is back! This was a - mostly - solo acoustic set of - mostly - new material and, no spoilers, we are in for an absolute treat with the third album! (No pic of the actual show because Orla requested no phones and I’m not a prick)
- Ah, the unexpected not only seated but unassigned seating gig. Very much not a fan, and if I’d known I might not have gotten tickets…
- This is not a selling point.
- The end of an era. Again. Which reminds me, did the plan to bring TopShop back to the high street ever actually amount to anything?
- But if Ed Gamble is on the show, who’s going to host the Escape Room: Unlocked aftershow podcast?
- The new Muppet Show is great, but I do have two major problems with it: 1) Humans don’t belong in the Muppet Theatre audience. Especially when they have such poor acting skills compared to the muppets around them. 2) Kermit’s voice has never sounded more wrong than it does now.
- Sent an email that has gone all the way up to various head honchos at work but have just realised it includes a blatant typo. Love that for me. Especially as more and more head honchos from different parts of the business get added to the chain.
- While it’s always good to see Jon get recognition, this is a surprising arena for him to receive it in.
- GIG UPDATE: Ash. I always see the boys from Mars when they’re in town, partly because they’re always ace, but also because I’m always optimistic that this will be the tour when Envy will be back in the setlist. While they remain ace, I will have to remain optimistic.
- It’s not immediately clear how this will differ from the current 6Music playlist.
- Big day today.
- Went out to a restaurant this evening and the name of the waitress was Shakira, and let me tell you, her chips did _not_ lie. (I didn’t actually have the chips, I had new potatoes, but I didn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a “hilarious” joke.)
- It would be nice if this made a difference, but as the sort of person who doesn’t take their backpack off as a matter of course clearly lacks any awareness of the space around them, they’re unlikely to even notice the notice, let alone pay attention to it.
- The Faders are back!
- The Roses are being absolutely destroyed out there. Really can’t see them pulling back from this, but hopefully they’ll at least be able to regain some pride and make the scoreline a bit more respectable in the second half. #SparChallenge #netball
- I bought some Biscoff crème eggs because they were reduced, but swiftly discovered why they were reduced as they are absolutely rank. Do not make the same mistakes I have!
- Good to see an NYT crossword clue that, along with their unshakeable Rita Ora obsession, is right in my wheelhouse.
- I’ve just watched the new Naked Gun film and it’s genuinely very good! I have also had a couple of drinks so the two things might be related.
- Not a strong first half for England, but it was a strong comeback. If they can keep that energy going for the next half then they stand a chance, but I fear they’ll lose momentum and South Africa are going to take the test before the first quarter is done. #SparChallenge #netball
- I think I kinda miss the supershot. I don’t even know who I am any more. #SparChallenge #netball
- Unlike Thursday, today I have managed to understand the 24 hour clock correctly and have tuned in in time to actually watch the England/South Africa netball test live. Big brain stuff from me! #netball
- Are “hens” electric?
