Once more for daytime Twitter:
When did you first learn that the Second World War kicked off with Germany invading Poland?
‘That’s Saturday night, on BBC One!’
Cor, the first TV drama ever made.
Cor, the first TV drama ever made.
I’m hearing rumours that several Conservative MPs have bought bottles of champagne, confident that the UK will definitely win the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest
‘Well very much as I predicted, except that the Sensible Party won.’
Not So Manic Now is All Together Now by The Farm isn’t it? (Yes, I know it’s a cover, and yes I know ATN wasn’t exactly original either.) #totp
Spaceman by Babylon Zoo is essentially a cold and knowing version of Clouds Across the Moon by the RAH Band. #totp
Fucking hell, that’s Smash Hits there. Where did the humour go exactly? Is it no longer allowed?
This was probably addressed at some point and no doubt I wasn’t paying attention, but why didn’t he just block Martha’s emails ?
Taylor Swift’s “Version”
Taylor Swift’s “Version”
‘I adore Rik and Ade. I always get a bit emotional whenever I see them celebrated.’ ‘Do you own the Young Ones Blu-ray which contains loads of unseen archive footage of them in their prime?’ ‘No.’
Got three more episodes of Baby Reindeer to watch. Feels like homework.
I too refuse to join the Garrick Club until Sting leaves.
I hear they’re releasing nine ‘meditation mixes’ of John Lennon’s Mind Games.

Rep @BernsAshley@atimeofcrisis @FakeGlennMiller I think @IrkthePurists has pointed out this is often accompanied by a cheery "I've been up for hours, me" whistle.
"A Fish Unknown To Science" sounds like a later Pink Floyd album side that you used to enjoy but don't so much now as it's quite Waters-heavy.
@IrkthePurists Yes! Surely if you don’t have to stir it, that means it’s got some kind of emulsifier added to it? The best peanut butter is made of peanuts and absolutely nothing else.
@IrkthePurists “For the perfect PB’n’J just like your Aunt Barb used to make on Labor Day, the secret is to mix your peanut butter with a store-bought ingredient you have in your larder: Welch’s Concord Grape Jelly.”
@IrkthePurists I saw this post when I was also 4 episodes in and had the same thought. I carried on because someone replied that it was worth it to get to the end. I disagree. It still felt like homework.
@IrkthePurists @braintree_ The best bits were printed in the weekend Observer magazine, which I kept under my mattress.
@IrkthePurists @braintree_ Heh! I remember thinking that as well! I’d worry if I spent more than that on a week’s groceries when I was a student.
@IrkthePurists So ATN is the derivative! Also the vocals are better on Dubstar’s offering
@IrkthePurists Stick with it. We just finished the last three tonight, worth it.
Streaming age, my arse. Where’s this, then?
@IrkthePurists "It's really weird - all the stuff that was brilliant when I was a kid just turned immediately to shit when I was 13. No idea what happened"
@IrkthePurists Although it did feel like he was getting it back at the end. I listened to Milk & Honey recently and was surprised at how great it sounded. He's doing jokes and daft count-ins and corny monologues and sounds like he's enjoying himself again.
@IrkthePurists Should have come with a sickbag, anyway.
@IrkthePurists 'People still do crosswords in newspapers?!'
@IrkthePurists Isn't it a six-disc set or something? For those people that simply can't get enough alternate takes of 'Bring On The Lucie (Freda People)'.
@IrkthePurists I bought a CD last night.
@RealPaulPutner @IrkthePurists I think it's worse if people actually call twitter "X" 🤮
@IrkthePurists Not forgetting 'People still use Twitter/Facebook?!'
@IrkthePurists The one I currently hate the most is "People still watch linear TV?"
