Been extremely depressed post birthday. 48 hours wanting to both yell fuck off at nothing AND wishing I wasn't here because of inadequacy and feeling you don't contribute to anyone's life, even your own. Bit of a shit mental health maze that. Wish I had alexithymia tbh.
Honestly I think original Britpop and their sometimes very pious audience TRULY died when Daphne and Celeste absolutely mugged them off by no selling that bottling. Absolutely heroes #totp
Me at every World Cup "It's coming home... It's still coming home... ... It's not coming home... ... just like Dad"
You know what we don't talk enough about? That BBC stars sing 'Wonderwall' clip that got taken down really quickly because it sucked and England lost. Well here you go! Worse than that 'Imagine' video. Worse than Captain Tom's daughter. They should all be facing charges at The Hague.
"Fucking hell, Look at the size of his cock!" said the midwife who delivered me, "it looks like he's got three legs" Rik Mayall - Bigger than Hitler, Better than Christ.
Jodi Pickens 🏳️🌈🖖✨@jodipickens.bsky.social · 4w agoWriting question ✍️ What's the single best opening line from a book, movie, television show, or play that you've ever encountered?
A problem with pro wrestling is a normal sentence in that world reads as completely bonkers to a non-fan. Like when you say "So Hulk Hogan had this best friend right, but he was also like a valet and a bag carrier for all his drugs. Oh and he was called BRUTUS BEEFCAKE." Mental industry.
Can anyone smarter than me basically answer my theory that this will just make the arts even more exclusively attainable and dominated by posh c**ts???
Arts Professional@artsprofessional.co.uk · 4w agoPerforming and creative arts university courses will no longer receive funding from a government teaching grant as part of “difficult decisions” about spending priorities, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said.
Currently compiling a sequel to this ridiculous waste of time, so if anyone knows a real obscure charity/celebrity supergroup drop us a DM.
Ash Preston@theashpreston.bsky.social · last yr.🚨🧵SUPER THREAD🧵🚨 1985. Year of the charity supergroup! A thread nobody wanted, by someone with far too much time. I ❤️ supergroups, they hit my cheese-o-meter in the sweet spot. But how many were there in '85? Well, buckle up for a trip around the world for 25 (YES, TWENTY-FIVE) charity records.
Cannot wait to hear the Cape Verde diss track on Taylor Swift's next album after upstaging her wedding day #worldcup
Decided I'm going to binge re-watch The Comic Strip Presents. What are your favourites and maybe underappreciated episodes.
Hi everyone, hope you're ok. Look, I'm sure you are all very busy today, but STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND READ ONE THE GREATEST WIKIPEDIA ENTRIES YOU'LL EVER SEE!
La Fistinière - Wikipedia

IT'S THE BIG ONE! I've always wanted to cover the 30 year war between Ken Barlow and Mike Baldwin on Coronation Street. The alpha dogs of the cobbles. So I did, to the sound of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Enjoy your day!
Watched those new docs on Rik Mayall. He's my absolute hero, but I'm a realist about him and feel bad whenever stans give Ade stick for ending the partnership. I can completely understand why he did. After his accident Rik was clearly different and some people seem blinded by hero worship of him.
Lot of people going on about the weather being too hot and climate change etc. But let's be honest, if the weather is too much for you, it's because you're too woke. People back in the day could handle it, you can't? Sorry to offend you, but you can't argue with science, facts and being a lil bitch.
So hot this week I saw they are relaxing school uniform rules. Can't wait for this arsehole with her shit GLOW wrestling villainess gimmick to call children weak and talk about how the UK is failing as a country. All because children will be learning maths in short sleeves.
Here's The Sandman in ECW defying his expected physics and somehow leaping OVER the top rope like he's doing the hurdles. ... I've also added some Super Mario SFX because I was bored and I'm a child.
Hello new followers. Thanks for sticking around. If you want some entertainment, this is my favourite thread I ever made. A trip back into 1985 looking at the charity single boom around the world, and honestly, some of these songs are a violation of the Geneva Convention. Enjoy 💙

Passed my first French language exams at the University of Clermont-Ferrand. First time properly learning a new language, it's been very difficult, but hope to keep improving for next semester in A2. Very pleasant post that wasn't it. Here's me looking banging. Obvs! Passez une bonne journée 🇫🇷
Just remembered that we used to spend a decent wedge of actual human monies for just FOUR episodes of The Simpsons on VHS... And if you're old enough, TWO episodes. Thank god someone taught me about long play and getting a bunker worth of scotch blanks.
Something I miss about the UK is sitting on the bus and reading the Metro and howling at letters like this. The last sentence is why I've had this stored on my phone for 11 years.
