I've tried to get blocked by Trump, Piers Morgan, David Cameron and the Conservative Party on numerous occasions, but to no avail

The Zutons, The Bees, Vaccines, Maximo Park, Raconteurs (Jack White's other band), Good Shoes, The Rascals...
And some with weird names like Jimmy Eat World, Bowling for Soup, Ting Tings
Just thinking about all the bands of the 2000s that made two or three albums then disappeared, there were hundreds of them, a few I remember: The Hives, The Hiss, The Cribs, The Shins, The Script, The Subways, The View, Pigeon Detectives, We Are Scientists, The Music, Klaxons, Razorlight, Hard Fi
@oracleatbluesky.bsky.social I was going to send you this earlier but can't tag you on Threads, was trying to find something whimsical and this was one of the things that came up :)
Excellent, congratulations ๐
this morning's tunes: Black Rebel Motorcyle Club, My Bloody Valentine, Guillemots, The Twang, Paolo Nutini, Sparks
It's currently sunny, shall have a quick stroll out while it lasts ๐
Planning to check out that dinosaurs documentary on Netflix at some point
Morning :)
I've blocked him, what a prat.
Another involved being at some festival/convention and eating spicy chicken and onion bhajis and feeding these little gopher-like creatures (they were pretty adorable)
So that's Star Wars and Ghostbusters added to today's agenda, that and googling stuff about gophers (including Gordon obviously :)
Always kind of disappointing when something really cool turns out to be a dream. One dream involved watching the Real Ghostbusters cartoon and some random Star Wars cartoon with fellow nerds.
Hey I'm back ๐ pretty sure I'm shadowbanned here but let's try again
Ordered @whenisbirths.bsky.social book Into the Groove, been on my "must buy" list for a while :)
Had slightly longer afternoon nap that intended :) currently watching a bit of Winterwatch on iPlayer before getting dinner
Earlier stuff: Round the Horne, Doctor Who, latest QI episode, Inside No.9, Detectorists
Being a massive Word Nerd I have the Oxford, Collins and Chambers dictionaires, plus Collins and Oxford thesauruses, but don't yet have the Chambers thesaurus, which from what I've read kicks the arse of all other thesauruses, so decided to treat myself to it :)
Couldn't resist starting an Owl House re-watch ๐ it's kind of funny to watch Amity's first appearance again, knowing what happens. You can kind of read between the lines as Amity trying to encourage Willow to improve, but in a mean and condescending way, as she's knows that's what's expected of her
Watched episodes 6 and 7 (6 7! ๐) of Amazing Digital Circus earlier, think episode 6 was my favourite so far. Had Daisy, Daisy... stuck in my head since ๐
It's been a watching weird cartoons and web animation series kind of week
I really need to watch more Adventure Time, I've watched most of the first season (can't remember where I got to, somewhere around episode 20) and a few of the second season. Going to watch some later.
I've not yet seen the animated Hobbit or Lord of the Rings movies, I intend to amend this soon :)
Also I have the extended Return of the King, but still haven't got round to getting the extended editions of the first two
A few more things I'd like to get, but going to try and resist til next week :) quite tempted to get a TMNT comic book or the LOTR animated movie (I might just get one of those anyway ๐)
Bit of post-b'day spending using gift vouchers, got the Ben Elton autobiography (still love him, sorry not sorry!) and two Gravity Falls books (Journal 3 and Dipper and Mable's Guide to Mystery and Fun)
Confession: I've never actually played Dungeons and Dragons, though I'd love to. I think my brother and I started a game once but for some reason didn't get very far.
Happy new year all. Stranger Things finale time
Blocked idiot on fb posting a spoiler (though I'm refusing to believe it!)
I love Bluesky and I love everyone I follow even if I don't get much interaction
There are some unpleasant folk who want to spread hate or destroy joy, but those fuckers lurk everywhere and it's best not to bother with them if you can help it
I love you all *high fives/hugs/snogs/other stuff* ๐๐
Feel free to send any late night flirting/declarations of love my way (that never happens but worth a try ๐)
Right, better get ready, off round sister's place for family thing, having dinner and a few beers, games, etc,
Happy New Year folks, though I'll probably say it again later, hope you all have a brilliant evening whatever your plans.
Just put together a playlist of tunes for tonight which I'm now listening to, trying to get at least 20 songs in before getting ready, then going to play some more when I get back, probably won't get round to playing them all
open.spotify.com/playlist/36H...
Will do Stranger Things finale some time tomorrow
New Year's Eve plannage:
Part 1: early evening music sesh
Part 2: gathering at Batchelor HQ, having a roast dinner, drinks, games, etc
Part 3: back home for after party, few more tunes, online shenanigans. warning: may post randomness, may get sentimental and/or flirty :)
Amazon currently has Pete Shotton's biography of John Lennon, which I've been trying to get for years, for ยฃ15. It's previously only been available at higher and rather ridiculous prices. There's only 1 left in stock. So that's what I shall be using my ยฃ20 gift voucher for ๐
