NP on the stereogram: Clowns And Jugglers (The Songs Of Syd Barrett). A varied range of interpretations here. Rosalie Cunningham has been my standout so far. Just about to start Disc 2. #psychasfuck

Limiting human rights and equality (too many to mention individually). Dismissing science in favour of religion. A corrupt administration that constantly lies and exists only to enrich itself. Total disregard for law. And now... a public execution. Welcome to Trumpistan.

Is it like in Genesis' Land Of Confusion? Its either for Nurse or The Bomb.

The last 3 years' Faithful City Boxing Day Festive Hats have been ever more complex in construction. This year's "Winter Wonderland" is comparatively simple.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Noooo. That's very "Border". We decorate ours in a variety of styles. Every year I hame a theme. I've previously done Santa and Rudolph in the forest, the first 3 of the 12 days of Christmas and a Germanic inspired "gingerbread cookies" one. This year's Winter Wonderland is much simpler.

Work on the Faithful City Morris Boxing Day Hat continues. Basic modelling done. Today I started on the sleeve that slides over my top hat and on which everything else is placed. #festiveasfuck #craftyfucker #morris #folkart #titfer #letitfuckingsnow #morrisdancing

Not as young as I was. I can't get down low for the RTBs anymore. Tge twizzles are best done as 90⁰ or 180⁰ and not 360⁰. My body just gives up at random times during this dance. Still, fuck it... great fun. #jiggyasfuck

I'm sensing that he's rewriting history somewhat, trying to save some face after what has, essentially, been his poor handling of his least successful project in a lomg time.

They've hit Reform levels of political fuckup with it. Guess their leader won't be an MP anytime soon.

It was somewhere on here. I was apoplectic.

A PLATE OF CHEESE AND BISCUITS IS NOT FUCKING "CHARCUTERIE" YOU FUCKING PLANK.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It isn't. I put that in because the Fairport album I wanted wasn't listed.

Tapestry and Remember You're A Womble are superlative.

I don't like the standard one, but enjoy Celebrity... and Claudia does "high camp horror" perfectly. Its almost like a comedy.

I don't trust people who aren't.

It has a variety of cheese.

I mean, I like Yorkshire, but Channels 4 and 5 have an unhealthy obsession with it. There are other counties with vets, coasts, farms, countryside, towns, cities, people, history etc.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

What is it with modern musicals? Admittedly I'm not overly fond of musical theatre as a genre, but no-one seems to be writing songs that are melody focused.

100

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

*Every* song I've heard from the Wicked musical franchise has been almost unlistenable... dynamism at the cost of melody. I should state that I only hear them as part of something on TV. I would never ever search them out. Give me Oliver! or The Sound Of Music anyday. Melodies.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Call me old fashioned, but a song *should* have a discernible melody as well as musical dynamism.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Shame they chose a song that had a singular lack of tune.

I've been given a jar of maraschino cherries. I'm thinking cake. Just come back from France where I tried gateau Nantais... basically rum baba but using almond cake instead of brioche and a thin layer of icing. Gorgeous. Especially the orange and lemon variants.

She was in such a rush to get here, she forgot to shave.

I read about them in the new PS biography and thought "that'll be good". I'm not diappointed. And its not all the obvious stuff either.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Do you like icily cool sophisticated instrumental Swedish jazz? Do you like Prefab Sprout? If you said yes then search out the two Milder PS albums: Singled Out By Fate and Quoted Out Of Context. Icily cool sophisticated Swedish jazz instrumental interpretations of Prefab Sprout songs. #jazzasfuck

The only reason I'd stop with them would be for the hellhound tbf

I only got back yesterday afternoon or I'd have been there. Alcohol count over my week away: 2 glasses red wine. Patisserie count: all of it. Miles walked in 6 days: 45. Legs sore... needed to buy more comfortable shoes by day 3.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

yup. Its a full time job.

I suspect it'll be recorded seeing as the orchestra and choir are present.

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Oh itost certainly is a banger. One thing about this new one is that he's left the mistakes in. It gives it a real atmosphere. Looking forward to the Albert Hall as he'll be playing some of it 😀

I get easily confused these days as when people say PSB, I think they mean Public Service Broadcasting. And then I remember that mostly they don't ☹️

Philip @puggle18.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

You are so right to be excited. Its a beautiful video. And the music fits the concept perfectly... all the correct reference points. I always knew if he embraced folk horror the results would be this good.
