Woman in Tesco just told me how much she liked my kilt, and then that I smelled amazing. Then she asked me if I liked Alan Cumming. New straight people code for "are you gay?" just dropped.

"Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" comes on YT Music. The twins: we love this song! It's all over TikTok! Me: you know this song is from 1990, right? It's literally three years younger than your Mum. The girls look aghast. Rubie: why does she sing about Dirty Cats? Neff: YOU TWONK

"How can we make Oscar Wilde's greatest comedy even more camp?" "How about... Ncuti Gatwa in a selection of fine frocks?" "You'll do for me." Sign me the fudge up! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkQN...

"Let's try Self Esteem's new single, I bet that's a fun little ditty." In the best tradition of Smash Hits, it's a bit "oo-er missus!" Which is to say that it's bloody amazing, of course. Quite the bang(er). music.youtube.com/watch?v=9qIW...

"Meta has spent over $100 billion on VR”

Manchester City lose games through being worse than their opponents, not by their opponents being better. It's quite the case study in decline.

Well that was fun, but now I have to go watch the football equivalent of N-Trance's "DISCO" play really badly in the FA Cup against Leicester. #totp

To think that only a couple of years after this the world gave us "Human Traffic #totp

"Back with another of them crap shocking beats!" #totp

You know you've found your people when the last 50 mentions on a hashtag are referencing The Shire Horses. #totp

If you couldn't get hold of any cocaine in 1997 it's because they used it all coming up with the concept for this DJ Quicksilver performance #totp

The Charlatans with their crappy cover version of The Shire Horses' "Lardy Boy" #totp

Me watching "D I S C O" on #totp

"Don't Speak" #totp

So much in life has gone downhill since Mark and Lard stopped doing the Breakfast Show. #totp

Lads, this could be a strong contender for worst top ten of all time. And the Spice Girls adding your grandad scratching his Englebert Humperdinck record at the start of 'Mama' did not help. #totp

Boyzone. All the intrigue of budget supermarket own brand washing up liquid. #totp

Do you remember that song that Boyzone did? The one where they sat on stools to sing and there was a key change where they stood up? Revolutionary. They don't write songs like that any more, thankfully. #totp

Ah, remember when national heartthrobs could look like an extra from Kevin Webster's garage? Simpler times. #totp

Only one person in the world could make an album about cricket and still make it sound like Oscar Wilde wrote it. And it's this guy. #totp

Who knew that Gina G had more than one single? And now I'm going to have to work hard to forget it again. #totp

This is one of those songs where they thought, "we've got a really good title here" but they didn't know what to do with the other three minutes so they just thought, "let's have Michael Hutchence being Michael Hutchence, no one will even be listening" #totp

Can never get over hearing Losa Stanfield's accent for the first time. It was like hearing Arthur Mullard speak after hearing George Michael sing. #TOTP

*instructions say "furniture takes 30 minutes to assemble"* but how long does it take for people who have a young cat

@reelo.app will the app work with still images, or just videos? be nice not have separate apps for text, images and videos.

If it's a choice between a mistake by a ref and a mistake by VAR, we may as well stick with the ref's mistake and keep the game moving. If VAR can't get things right it's just a delay for the sake of it.

“It takes more than a turtleneck to make a chihuahua” The author Scott Adams once wrote And although you may say it sounds bourgeois There’s wisdom to be found in this quote. You can’t make an action film by adding a car chase. And you can’t make a poem by adding some line breaks.

"Sorry I'm half an hour late for our dinner date, I was getting a nose job" is a personal first for me. Never had that one used on me before! (nose does look good though)

We have wars on three continents, the planet is burning, supposedly civilised countries are trying to wipe out queer people and the world is run by 5 year manbabies having a permanent tantrum. Meanwhile www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's time for January's annual LOST ruwatch.

@reelo.app Just checking, did you know there's at least two apps already called Reelo? One of them is for restaurants (reelo.io) and the other is a bit sketchier (play.google.com/store/apps/d...). Will this affect what you're doing?
