Maybe. Let me take a look. It’s all about jogging the memory these days haha.

Good luck today Canada. I hope The shitmess next door has put you off Poilievre and his populist vision.

Def not a club. More a pub but not very pub like. In some of that fab Brum brutalist architecture.

Speak for yourself. I’m WAAAAAAAY younger 😃

Different part of town to Sinatras. It’s a pub you and J used to go to I think but he can’t remember it.

That’s def not the pub I’m thinking of. It was inside or on the edge of one of those round circus like bits where the road went round the top and there were shops inside a pedestrianised oval plaza thingy.

Shit- was the the ship? My brain is all addled. Thought that was elsewhere.

Hey, can any of you #Birmingham folk help me remember the name of an popular #indie pub from around 1989. You had to go upstairs onto an upper level to get in & it might have been two floors. Somewhere around Smallbrook Queensway?There was a great record shop around there too.

Might be. I left Brum years ago and now I can’t recognise a lot of it.

Today I’m mining memories of my #indie days - #Birmingham in the late 80’s, to write about. Oasis market, Plastic Factory, Tempest Records, The Hummingbird, Edwards, Snobs, The Black Horse, Ship Ashore….vintage #NME copies helping me along. #writesky #IAmWriting #fiction #writers

Test drove my new hair out in Manchester last night and by the shitmess that today was, I’d say yes, blonds do have more fun!

I can’t hear this without thinking of Andie, distraught in Pretty in Pink.

Nell @theatticmouse.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

One of them. Depends on my mood.

I’ve only joined Bluesky recently so am always looking for good people to follow. It’s fab to find people like @authorsmiller.bsky.social who has also created loads of great starter packs.

Just don't let me fuck up will you,'cause when I need a friend it's still you…. One of the anthems of my indie teen years ❤️

And the world comes tumbling down

The cafe I am writing in is playing 80s music- amazing of them considering I’m still on the 1980s part of my book! #writesky #iamwriting #fiction #writer

Today’s #writing inspiration is The Black Horse at Aston, #Birmingham 1988-92ish. Might be my fav pub of all time. Stuffed with indie kids- mostly underage, great music, upstairs felt like a house party. Good times. Was anyone else there? #IAmWriting #WriteSky #Writers #1990s #1980s #indie #kids

Need to come up with some song titles for a band in the novel I’m writing and every time I think of a good title, I check it on Spotify and there’s already a song with the same name. Does this make me: A- a creative genius? B- really unoriginal, or C- screwed 😂

Anyone else have to lie on the floor on a hot beanbag to sort their neck out after a few hours writing? #writesky #iamwriting #fiction #writer #feelingmyage

Dunno. Will let you know in an hour if it’s not 🤪

Congratulations! Exciting times ahead…

Amazing! We are lemmings going o er the cliff right into the bin!

Thursday morning coffee shop bliss. Weird how I can’t write at home if there’s any noise but I can write here easily. #writesky #iamwriting #fiction #writer

Today’s inspiration is pretty specific. Any #Brummies out there remember Streetly Disco, a disco for 12-18 year olds circa ‘86? Was actually a top night out.

The big question in our household is….WHO ATE THE BISCOFF???

Oh lucky! I LOVE Cornwall ❤️
