Hey @garynunn.bsky.social the NUJ called. They said you could drop your membership card in, anytime you were passing.

Unit! Unit! UNIT!

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 7h

Yes, I did at least learn something from The Early Days of Twitter.

Yeah, my boss had never had a copywriter in her team before. She now recognises that the time I spend gazing off into the middle distance is time well-spent.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 8h

Yes. It’ll be a stream of consciousness, but still.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 8h

Yep. Want something in 1,000 words? Might take me best part of a day. 250 words? That’ll take longer.

Boris Johnson has a lot to answer for. Stupid or compliant? (I’m going for both, btw.)

If only they’d included Do The Neurotic (b-side to one of the singles) on the album.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I’m somewhat ambivalent about how you work it. Some diggity.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Ah yes, the regularly-depicted prophet.

Probably from someone who hasn’t been in a church since our Sharon’s wedding.

I heard it as “keep on, to the post-op” which would only have made sense if he was moonlighting as an anaesthetist.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Lisa Nandy has this in her laser-like focus. /s

If my local FB group is to be believed, literally *every* planning application is a front for a mosque.

The badgers were going to get involved too, but it’s not a black-and-white issue.

My wife used to work in a funeral home and would do the same. One client was a massive Elvis fan so she played his music in the storage room for him.

Do you need ear protectors Richard?

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I quite like Just a Job to Do as a song. Silver Rainbow also. It’s Gonna Get Better has a nice feel to it. But yes, I think this is probably the right position for the album as a whole.

So many Soviet-era Russians seem to yearn for the reassuringcomfort of the jackboot once more.

Call me old-fashioned, but don’t car reviews normally involve the writer actually *driving* the car?

Fox: cat software running on dog hardware.

Sorry, but I read your second post and got Avril Lavigne as an earworm: “He was a boy, she was a dom, can I make it any more obvious…”

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Christ could you have imagined the fallout of Mauro had done this back in the day?

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It gets a pass from me because of Fading Lights, which is up there with their best. But there’s a lot of filler, too.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I shall alert the Coast Guard.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It wouldn’t feature highly on my list either, but some reasonable moments and it’s a shame they didn’t progress from there. I liked Wilson’s vocals.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

This is ace Phil. Your recommendations are typically spot on. Have you heard anything by Aisles, a Chilean prog band? New album “Irrationally” has some nice moments.

I’m a big fan of his new fascinator, too.

Theodore is quite often out of his mind on the catnip with Ozric Tentacles playing in the background.

There’s something to be said for a simple mug.

Attempted fuckery occurs, and we find out a “leading Instagram influencer” was behind it. I wish I could say I was surprised.

010

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I hope the husband had the decency to at least be embarrassed. However I suspect not.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

“Shit, I thought everyone would be wearing white today…”

He’s no stranger to a quarter-zip sweater.

Timeline cleanser: Henry The Absolute Unit.

Out of the frying pan, into the mire.

Has she tried asking to speak to the manager?

If I was looking to hire ex-intel people I’d be performing a *massive* swerve away from those who post about current events on LinkedIn.

In an elevator filled with strangers, I’ve been known to wait for the doors to close, then intone: “I expect you’re all wondering why I gathered you here today.” I am a delight.

Phil @fatboyfat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Ordering water in a restaurant. “Still?” “Yes, I still want water.”

In the UK, “trump” is another word for “fart”, so we’ve had that, too.

One for the kids there.

That means there’s only (checks notes) enough relics left for 72 true crosses.

Think I’ve got one of his LPs. Great trumpet player.

A label in a shop for “Herb Almonds” that famous trumpeter with the Tijuana Brass. One for the kids.
