Bass playing lover of fuzz, punk, garage rock and Tranmere Rovers. Relocated to the lovely lakelands of Fermanagh 20 years ago, but recently moved back to Dirtsville. Dark humour. Every band I've been in was woefully shit. Coincidence? I think not.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was born on this day in 1797.
The 4 panel Anakin/Padme meme, but Anakin has been replaced by Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive version). In the 1st panel, Frankenstein says "My name is Frankenstein, but I'm a scientist." The 2nd panel has Padme asking "So, you're not actually the monster, right?". The 3rd panel shows a close-up of Frankenstein smiling. The last panel has a concerned Padme saying "You're not the monster, right?".

For those who might have forgotten, Dolly was always punk as fuck
"I made jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know who she was, just this woman who was blonde and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Mama used to say, 'Aw, she's just trash,' and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash."

80 is the new 27. RIP Tim and Dolly. And as weeks go we have also lost Frank Beard.

What is the best UK based news site to land on as your opening homepage that isn't BBC? I've previously used the Guardian but subscription prompts annoy the absolute fk out of me

Had to cancel my inclusion in a wee day trip today due to going full cold turkey from running out of my antidepressants. The most minor things occurring are affecting me badly and Dolly going (mainly the huge surge of grief and tributes on Bsky) absolutely sent me. Pure empathy bomb.

I'm going to have to duck out of socials right now and wait for the Dolly posts and tributes receed. I'm a fucking mess right now, dealing with this. Rest now, my queen. #Dolly

The world is on fire and the largest fresh water lake on these islands (and the largest lake in Ireland) is being used as a dumping ground for toxic shite so that a few people can make a lot of money. Lough Neagh is dying and no one is lifting a finger to stop this ecological disaster.

Darth Vader sits on the ground, looking at a stormtrooper sitting next to him, who is looking somewhat sad.

I was introduced to Nuts In May via a Vic & Bob curated night on BBC2 in the early 90s. A hugely quotable masterpiece that has been devoured since then.

Can't say I'm Isreal's biggest fan politically/strategically but by fuck, Fauda Season 5 (Netflix Sep 8th) hits hard, especially the Oct 7th eps.

Thinking of starting a Hostel Of Happiness podcast. Place has been serene (and very funny) since the last rockets were booted out. Proper pool table, Blade6 dartboard, food bank deliveries, day excursions. Some would say luxury, I say bollocks, we're homeless ffs. There's struggle between the nice.

Woke up there, after minimal sleep, didn't know where I was. Presumably some mental facility. 5 mins later I released it wss the cardio ward, and I'd started hallucinating 🙄

Played some vids of our band on YouTube to some lads. Slegged tae fk. My response? I slogged hard for 10 yrs with that band and didn't give a fuck, so I definitely don't give a fuck about your opinion on our shitty vids we uploaded, which are shit by the way.
