Ian Volante @sometimehippy.eurosky.social · 22hWatching Raw Deal (Schwarzenegger) for what appears to be the first time. It's flippin rubbish. I missed the first few minutes, so whatever semblance of plot they lined up is sadly passing me by. I think he's fallen out with some people, so he's now shooting them. And repeat. 000

Ian Volante @sometimehippy.eurosky.social · 03/10/2026Excitement building for the #SuperLeague #GrandFinal. As usual, due to football, I'll be ghettoised to a side room in the pub, but it's better than just having it on the radio at home. 440

Ian Volante @sometimehippy.eurosky.social · 02/10/2026Nope, not a clue. #totp Oh, the chorus sounds vaguely familiar. Them starting with a #38 hit reminds me of the episode which I don't think I've ever seen again where I'm almost certain they played some random band that was at #42, which seemed very odd. The singer was blond and chubby-cheeked. 100

Reposted by Ian VolantePicture House 77 @picturehouse77.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Really excited for Saturday's Super League Grand Final between Warrington and Wakefield. The last time Warrington won the title in 1955, Brian Bevan was playing. The last time Wakefield won the title in 1968 saw Neil Fox playing. Will Saturday's game have any future Hall-of-Famers playing? 0102

Ian Volante @sometimehippy.eurosky.social · 26/09/2026I'm not nominally a Wakefield fan, but I couldn't be more pleased to see them getting to the Grand Final next week. Guaranteed new winner too, so my general longing for underdog success is going to be satisfied, for a change. 050
