Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It’s not even an “oh no, I’m tone deaf and I have to pick 8 pieces of music” collection, its a “I think I like music, but I’m badly mistaken, I actually like fitting in” collection. 010
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It is a cartoon of rural Ireland, we’re supposed to laugh because the bumpkin characters are mixed with tortured sophisticates trapped in the sticks, the tragedy is cliched and the real drama of the war of independence melts into the background to avoid scaring the audience. And the jokes are crap. 110
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I hate the Banshees of Inisherin for a similar reason. Sadly that isn’t redeemed by any Alison Steadman-like performances (at least in the first 1/2, which was all I could stand to watch). 100
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 18/04/2026The music is inoffensive to the point of meh, but the announcers - the embodiment of “Radio Sleepy” (was it Alas Smith & Jones?) with a dollop of the Child Catcher. 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 02/10/2025It’s on the north side of the bugger/bagger line (the isogloss to the north of which the word bugger is pronounced properly, whereas to the south it is pronounced ‘bagger’ for some reason). 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Check the Amazon reviews for Veet for Men. Viz Comic has a lot (of great things) to answer for. 010
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 27/04/2025They have transcended the genre they started in, so appreciating them takes work. Unless you make the effort (which will be rewarded) you are correct, which is a shame. 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Movies you’ve watched more than six times, using GIFs. (No big IP series movies) i.makeagif.com/media/9-21-2...i.makeagif.comhttps://i.makeagif.com/media/9-21-2017/4CkcUM.gif 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 04/04/2025This is why I’m looking forward to afternoon Petroc - I dropped PM before I dropped Today. The takeover of news, magazine & media navel gazing on R4 has turned me away. I listen to R4 on Sounds now - never live, that way I can pick and choose the few remaining points of light in the schedule. 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I’m looking forward to Tom in the mornings too. He’ll take a while to be as great as Petroc, but I think he will be. And Petroc has earned a long lie… 010
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I seem to be out of step, but I’m looking forward to afternoon Pertroc. On his meanderings around the UK he’s had the chance speak with many interesting people and he’s always charm personified. The afternoon slot will give him chance to do that far more often, and that is a good thing. 1 of 2 100
Reposted by Nick WestonSteve Doherty @stevedoherty.bsky.social · 31/03/2025If you were wondering "what have you got in the pipeline, Steve?" - wonder no more. Thank you, Jay for a lovely little write up. 1167
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Really enjoyed this; particularly the idea of the Council of Nicaea as a massive pitch meeting. 122
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Yup - me too, but to be fair some of the stuff is open access (but probably less than half). 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 21/03/2025You do a grand job of listening to the things I suspect my blood pressure won’t stand and therefore avoid like an opinion piece by Boris Johnson. Your public service to suppressing my FOMO is much appreciated. 010
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid. 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Just had a look at the other place for a few minutes and, blimey it is worse than I remember. That is all. Merry Christmas. 010
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 16/12/2024Hiya Steve, happy there will be a Christmas special, sad there won’t be more. Loved it! 110
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Another for your sample… lots of Larkin when I search “the old fools”, but 1st 3 hits when I search “the old fools podcast”. 010
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Maybe the use of farms as an inheritance tax dodge has pushed up their value? Maybe with the tax those who want a farm to grow stuff, rather than hide cash, could aford to buy one? 000
Nick Weston @wesigoglet.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I wonder how much the use of farms as an inheritance tax dodge has pushed up their value? Maybe with the tax in place people who want a farm to grow stuff, rather than somewhere to hide cash, won’t have to take on unsustainable debt to do so? 010
