Worst one was a young male teacher slash lecturer or some such who I look forward to seeing on the News Shopper website at some point for his sentencing.

I’ve been listening to this song a lot and Justin pointed out that it sounds quite Nolans-y. open.spotify.com/track/2CG3lX...

This week in BORING OLD GAY, I’m agog at seeing Dallas in glorious HD, celebrating one of Scotland’s greatest sitcoms and shamelessly showing off two books with my name on them… boringoldgay.substack.com/p/dallas-doc...

I tried to watch The Colbys again a few years ago and it’s a bit of a mixed bag!

I didn’t say it sounds like a bad event or that there’s anything wrong with it whatsoever, simply that it’s my personal worst nightmare!

This sounds like my actual worst nightmare.

A 90-minute sober dance experience with a live DJ playing a wave of ambient, tribal, disco, soul and deep house. No choreography to learn. It's you, your unique expression, the music and your new Pleasure Pals for the afternoon. All bodies, ages and backgrounds come to Pleasure Medicine. This is a space of love and inclusion for all GBTQ+ men. If you're even thinking "is this for me?" it's probably a yes.

Saw some peak Bluesky replying today when someone looking for reasonably priced picture framing in London was advised to go to the Lake District.

Just saw a civilian man walking though central London wearing what can only be described as a Technicolor Dreamcoat.

We had a young punk come in to tell us all about her youth lost to drink and drugs, then at the end she pulled out a black veil and revealed she was now a NUN.

Ah well! It tickled me and that’s the important thing here.

Enjoyed seeing this in Doctor Who Magazine this month, although it’s weird to see stuff I invented FAIRLY RECENTLY I’M SURE now being revived as retro.

Doctor Who Adventures-style comic strip cliffhanger panel.

Brigadier Terence Clarke MP invents Comptons.

If we are to allow this sort of thing to occur, would my hon. Friend be happy to go into a public house and find a couple of hairy old males sitting on each other's knees and liking it? Is that what we are going to allow?

Godfrey Lagden, Conservative MP for Hornchurch, speaking in 1960 against decriminalisation of homosexuality:

We may well be in the position, if we do what we are asked to do, of seeing notices outside anyone's house saying, 'Homosexual experiences can be had within.' So far as I can judge, legally there would be nothing to prevent that.

There’s a stall at the market outside King’s Cross that does them.

I’m guessing this is more to avoid paying overtime than a desire to inform.

Yeah it was going to close about three years ago but then another company picked up the licence.

Fast Forward fact - I was supposed to work there for two months as part of my degree but it closed down so I ended up its replacements, Girl Talk and Chatterbox instead. Chatterbox was an absolute flop but Girl Talk is still going to this day!

People are posting pictures of the holes! There’s a plan to confront him but nobody actually wants to do it! There’s a growing band of “clay shrinkage” truthers who don’t believe the pilot is making the holes at all! 🕳️

Obsessed with the unfolding saga in a local dog walkers’ group chat about an airline pilot who is dealing with stress by heading to the park with a metal detector then digging big holes, which people and dogs are then falling down.

No, of course you don’t, because nobody watched it so it was taken off mid series.
