Got an idea for a TV programme. It's called Celebrity Show - basically the idea is you get a group of celebrities in to do a sort of long form elimination game show, like Traitors or I'm A Celebrity or whatever, but they don't know what the concept will be and it changes every series
Weekly pub grump complaint: incredibly loud woman who looks like she's having a big night out in 1998
I've probably got more than three days' worth of certain foods due to my "it was cheap, I enjoyed the snack, let's keep buying that food over and over" habit. There is probably only so much nutritional value in vegetable fingers though
I imagine putting together Celebrity Traitors to tell some dramatic story to be a bit like doing it with footage of meerkats for Meerkat Manor. Not sure if much is really happening in reality. Just celebrities hanging around hoping they stay on TV for a while
Wouldn't have been my pick, but you know what, I'm going to stick up for it. It would have been much much easier for her to just do your usual "more of the same but this time it's about being famous and/or on tour" second album but instead she did whatever this is meant to be
Raye wins 2026 Mercury prize for This Music May Contain Hope
Thinking about how when I was a kid we knew a family called Bond and their kids were all called things like Chris* and Becky* and Andy* and none of them were called fucking James! *not their real names but more or less their real names
Looks Like the Next James Bond Has a Bluesky Account
Bad joke I've just remembered: - That guy reckons he's the dandy highwayman - Really? Is he sure? - Yeah that's what he keeps saying
New Avalanches album is very good imo, I already liked the "old consumer technology, how in awe of it when you were a kid, and the way it was sold to you, takes up a big chunk of your memory now" idea but the whole thing is a fun listen
I wonder if there's been a professional footballer who hasn't made their full name public for whatever personal reason? Like you've made a new signing and he's just called Gavin N.
After a week of this muck outside people are going to be begging for the return of "why is it so warm and settled?" There is only so much soup you can eat before you get bored of it
What would I have to pay for a kind of reverse version where I have a guarantee that I never meet him
Amol Rajan’s membership tiers…that is scandalous.
Always liked James Maddison, I know he's meant to be your "don't like him but I'd want him on my team" player but I don't really have a dog in the fight so I just enjoy watching him (between injuries)
Ali G just one in that long line of "what the fuck were we doing?" obsessions Britain has from time to time. It was a one joke sketch character and for some reason there was enough demand for films and spin-off novelty records etc.
Add piss to a band name The Piss Tubs
Add piss to a band name Piss Stump
I was thinking about this the other day. If you were an ambassador of funk and you made a record, would it be a remix of the Super Mario Land music? I think if you were any good at the role it would probably be some funk instead

Suppose it doesn't matter if we pull apart the £100 phone cunt bus fine thing because it's not real
I wonder if the bit on the new Fontaines DC album where they lift the chorus of If You're Not The One by Daniel Bedingfield is deliberate. I reckon not haha, like the melody came to them and they didn't know why
This weekend's misery guts pub complaint: nice fragrance you have on but I'm not sure you're supposed to empty the whole bottle over you
Have any of you guys done work for Manpower? Those were short tenure jobs alright. Remember the day where I had to go to a local school and carry the heavy things from location x to location y, and then some other heavy things from location y to location x
In honor of the fired lady tell me about your shortest job tenure. I worked at a candy store for less than 2 weeks when I was like 16
Changed my mind about Ross Kemp. I don't think he's got PTSD from a war Grant Mitchell fought in. I think he's carrying the weight of some stuff he knows or has seen through connections and cannot blab. Some really mad shit
Useless idea: Paper Planes but the sounds are all the Tim Allen uhhhhh???
The John one is going to be half as long so if you're looking for vfm that isn't the one
Sony is considering a same-day release for all four Beatles biopics. The studio is also weighing a four-pack ticket and combining the films' box office returns.
I see some of the "*allegedly*" men are out defending Greep now. Never get it www.pastemagazine.com/music/geordi...
“My voice was taken away”: Geordie Greep's alleged victim and ex-bandmate come forward
A Vancouver woman has detailed allegations of sexual assault against Geordie Greep. She and Greep's former keyboardist spoke to Paste about what happened on October 8.

Not keen on either this or the biscuit take! The fancy versions of sausage rolls are good but they are not good at the job of being a sausage roll, same with biscuits
my horrid little opinion is that I believe this to be most true when it comes to British pastry items, obviously a warm, huge, preposterously expensive sausage roll from a wanky pub made out of poncy pork is a million times better than a Greggs one, don't lie to me, be serious
Was pretty aware as young as I can remember that the other kids didn't read train timetables for fun. Didn't really care until I was 15 or so
QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?
Paul McCartney. Never really been able to explain why
alright everyone, tell us which famous person your mom dislikes for indeterminate reasons
I imagine there being a bit of brainstorming on which word they're going to use to describe this sort of stuff before they went with "smart". People like the idea of having a smart version of something but there's never much explanation of what is meant to be so smart about it
Major French supermarket chains said they were hit by a cyberattack that caused their refrigerators to shoot up in temperature in hundreds of stores, forcing spoiled food to be thrown away and raising concerns about food security. u.afp.com/SCx8
