There are people in the world who, despite not intending to leave the house at any point, get dressed. That blows my mind.

It's certainly at least as good.

Sorry to hear that, I can see how that would be tough. I do love Breaking Bad, in fact I'm half way through re-watching it right now.

I didn't even get through the first episode of The Wire.

@michaellegge.bsky.social if you want a new Moe Tucker seeing as the old one has gone all shitty, can I recommend the lovely voiced, terrific drummer and all round splendid person, Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley?

Phil Tate @mangyhare.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Well that is something I didn't expect to learn today.

@impq.bsky.social if a toilet is actually just a cardboard box, surely you should ONLY shit in it and definitely not piss?? Won't it just go soggy and fall to bits?

Aw, really? I love him. I once saw him do his Famous Guy character at a comedy night hosted by Tony Law in a pub in London and it was possibly the funniest 10 minutes of comedy I've ever seen.

Oh FFS. I adore YHF but anyone who says there hasn't been a great rock album in the last 25 years doesn't really like music.

Phil Tate @mangyhare.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Totally agree. They were one of the highlights of the Fringe when I first started going in the mid-00s and a big part of why I fell in love with it. It's never been quite the same since they stopped going, the cunts.

Nothing but Dolly Parton in my feed. I'm definitely following the right people. RIP Dolly, you were amazing.

@michaellegge.bsky.social I'm currently buying more CDs than ever, and knowing what great taste you've got I'm tearing my hair out imagining the absolute gems among the CDs you're getting rid of. I'd buy the lot off you in a heartbeat if I didn't live 300 miles away.

Happy birthday Michael, you lovely, lovely cunt!

Evidence continues to mount that there is a god and he's a Trump supporter.

When I was very little, any time I saw a fat bloke with a beard I'd go "there's Demis Roussos!"

She absolutely steals that whole film, she's utterly hilarious and brilliant and gorgeous.

Phil Tate @mangyhare.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Same! I've never really been interested in multi-player games generally to be honest (I remember being so disappointed when Quake 3 came out and it was ALL about multi-player), but I know Portal 2 co-op is meant to be amazing.

110

Phil Tate @mangyhare.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

God I ADORE Portal 2. Possibly my favourite moment ever in a game was when it seems like things are reaching a head, then you drop into the old abandoned areas and you quickly realise there's still SOOOO much to discover. Wonderful.

Uninstalled Threads. It's absolutely invested with the very worst type of Christian scumbag. Imagine actually thinking like this, fucking hell.

Even muppets can't save this bollocks.

Christ can this tedious superbowl-style half time bollocks stay in America please?

They're called Topov's Lugs in our house.

Is that the best movie poster of all time? I think it might be.

Phil Tate @mangyhare.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

My favourite game of all time. Genuinely terrifying. For me Alien has two direct and equally worthy sequels.

And Gary from Gary's Olde Town Tavern!

@impq.bsky.social thanks for recommending Jeremy's Haydn podcast, listened to the first one and love it even though I know nothing about classical music. Laughed my arse off at his Haydn-ised Monty Python theme!

Am I the only person who has listened to every episode of IMPQ but never seen Iron Maiden?

Wow, that's on a par with this absolute brilliance from a few years ago

Same! I've only listened to disc 1 but it's already worth every penny. Wonderful.

"Why do you still buy CDs Phil?" This is why. 20 discs of Martin Carthy at the BBC.

Bloody gorgeous Martin Carthy at the BBC 20CD box set

I was worried cos Alice said Friday, but Friday is Euro so I assumed she meant Saturday. Can't wait to get my pub!

I'd be clambering over the fence to just sit in the garden and play with her, whatever the consequences.

I laugh my tits off when a player takes one of those stupid tap-dancy penalties and misses or it gets saved.

Haha thanks, I tried to make them as scruffy looking as possible!

Beautiful! Me and Mrs Mangyhare took it up last year, still very much beginners but it's so much fun. Here's a couple of my creations.

And not the Bahamas, somewhere even more expensive - a couple of days at the Edinburgh Fringe 😁

Yep, I'm so glad I was buying vinyl in the 90s, most of which I still have. And buying second hand vinyl then was amazing, people were giving it away. The good thing though is that this is what buying second hand CDs is like now. I've found some absolute gems for peanuts in charity shops recently.
