skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 5hEckersley is a legend around these parts. We’ve got loads of his originals framed around the place. This is number one favourite: 120
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 18hIn the first series of Life on Mars, Sam Tyler holds a collectable football card alot and refers to it as a cigarette card. It is way too big. Slightly annoying as most of the time, the programme is super careful with historic props and detail. 000
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 19hAI slop posters have become the “looks professional”. 010
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Why is Amstel at least double the price over here? 100
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 12/10/2026After the game, I sat by the bridge watching two sets of relegated disgruntled fans knock lumps out of one another. After about ten minutes my then GF said “can we go now?” 020
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 12/10/2026...also loving the plate with the big shoes image. 020
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 12/10/2026My nan had a pulley over the hearth. Like Heath Robinson came to his senses and made something simple (as long as you don't mind your clothes whiffing of an open fire). I want a pulley drying system over my stairs but I don't know whether the ceiling could take it, but I think about it a lot. 220
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Worth clicking on the replies to see the words 'cathode ray tube' written in full. Lovely. 020
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026In 1997 I was a guest/sub DJ at Northampton Roadmenders. As well as route one ‘indie’ I played Orbital, Leftfield, Faith No More, Mudhoney, Aphex Twin, Shamen etc. Realised ‘indie’ had become ‘Brit Pop’ and the crowd was ridiculously musically conservative. I was never asked back. Thank God. 050
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026“A rainy afternoon at the Den.” Betjeman-esque. 130
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It’s been like working in the middle of an absolutely huge building site for years. This was where the bright pink shopping centre once stood. 020
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026E&C has gone through huge changes, some good, some, less so, but yes, the old estates are long gone. 120
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It’s difficult for some of us (including a few on here) not to contemplate the rainy night in Stoke not being a thing again… 120
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026My favourite college gig poster ever. The VU (sans Lou admittedly) at my now place of work. The poster was designed and produced in-house. I’ve only found one original on the open market and its ridiculously expensive. Would love it though. 130
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I know I'm not on my own saying this, but LJK is one of the finest artists of our* generation. 030
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I am sitting in a room replying to your message wearing a jumper I bought in 2000AD. So, no, I cannot beat that, but it's silver anniversary years old, so maybe worthy of a runner up (silver) medal. 010
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Richard E Grant appears to have been banished by mistake… 000
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Kinda what I mean; not at all clever. Duped. Its like some mad FOMO technological gold rush. 010
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Most terrifying for me is the ease at which lots of Clever People In Power have bought the utopian dream, hook, line and sinker. 110
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Best/worst thing I’ve watched on ‘this’ in ages. 110
skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Very similar experiences on arriving in Kings Cross in <thinks> ‘95, and then, kicking my heals waiting to get the last train back to Brum, I made the kids from the sticks error of finding a pub to bide my time. Not remotely cool, just very, very edgy. 000

skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Has anyone got a decent copy of the photo of Deacon wearing an Adam & The Ants t-shirt? I did not make this up in my mind. 010

skipratmedia @skipratmedia.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Sunday working (student facing stuff) along to soundtracks: So far - Koyaanisqatsi The Changes Children of the Stones Chernobyl Lined up - Arrival Rollerball Blade Runner I don't know what this says about me apart from the bliss of working in isolation in ropey times. 110
