Early Beatlemania was fuelled by teenage girls, but they won't tell you that.

Women and girls have always been the trendsetters and the tastemakers.

CONTROLLED CHAOS My first long-read is out. On Newcastle United 2.0: analysis of the start to the season, the intelligence of Sean Steur and Nico Gonzalez, Joe Willock’s resurgence, Rory Finneran at Notts County and a bit of vibe scouting on Martin Baturina. Enjoy! 🔗👇 #NUFC

A man in a face covering talks to another man who is looking disappointedly at a small box he is holding. Man 1 “What's that?”. Man 2 “Baklava. I misread the WhatsApp”

Any excuse for the C*nt in a Clown Suit story
• [While filming 'Ashes to Ashes'] So we're on the beach shooting this scene with a giant bulldozer.
The camera was on a very long lens. [The camera is along way away, but the artist fills the frame] In this video I'm dressed from head to toe in a clown
suit. Why not. I hear playback and the music starts. So off | go, I start singing and walking, but as soon as I do this old geezer with an old dog walk right between me and the camera... Well, knowing this is gonna take a while I walked past the old guy and sat next to camera in my full costume waiting for him to pass. As he is walking by camera the director said, excuse me Mr do you know who this is? The old guy looks at me from bottom to top and looks back to the director and said... "Of course I do!!!! its some cunt in a clown suit." That was a huge moment for me, It put me back in my place and made me realize, yes I'm just a cunt in a clown suit. I think about that old guy all the time.

Great read, this. I had a few email conversations with Andy twenty years or so ago - he didn’t have footage of any of his NUFC goals, and I have all the VHS season reviews as I’m a massive nerd

Can’t believe Johnny Depp is playing Ebenezer Goode. Still, it’ll be interesting to see the character’s origin story, and find out how he got so naughty.

Hastings museum had an LGBT history exhibit and there was a bit on a trans guy and a cis woman who married in 1954 that I found moving
UNCLE VIC & AUNTIE JOAN

Remi Graves

Victor Kenneth Jones and Joan Jones (née Lee) met in 1950 at a telephone exchange in Catford, where they both worked. Vic was 22 and Joan 17. They married on 25 September 1954 at St Luke's Church, Downham, with family, and friends in attendance. Joan's family supported their relationship and respected Vic's identity as a trans man. After a honeymoon in Hastings, the couple settled there.

In 1954, they were publicly outed and fined £25 each (around £900 today) for what authorities ruled an 'illegal marriage' because Vic was trans. They also became the subject of national newspaper coverage. Despite this, they lived together in Hastings until Vic's death in 1991. Joan remained in their home until 2023, when she passed away at 90.

The photos and objects on display were shared by Joel, Joan's nephew. After Vic's death, Joan gave him Vic's archive, asking him to do as he wished. Joel brought Vic's wedding ring to the Collective's 'Queer Lives. Queer Queer Objects' gathering in March 2025.

I was moved by the lasting love Vic and Joan shared and the quietly defiant way they built a life together on their own terms. ers a rare glimpse into the life a trans ma part Hastings in the mid-20th century.
