it's very self-indulgent for a ghost to be scared, like what's the worst that could happen #Uncanny

you would not have an old bloke from Southport phrogging in your house unless it was haunted by disembodied mutterings of 'oooh bloody ell', 'hang on i've left me fags' and 'bollocks, can't remember how this opens' #Uncanny

just want to take a moment to acknowledge whoever in the Hornsey/Ally Pally area is playing the bagpipes. I love it, but it's not for everyone.

dream i had, on Valentine's night: I go to this pub quiz run by Neil Innes (RIP) as a date with a literal manic pixie dream woman. whilst there i knock over and break this ornate little lamp she has with her, and she vanishes. i then get a call from her saying: 'don't fix it, i don't fancy you'

The time for fucking around with this stuff is over. Regardless of how much some of them personally annoy or even harass you, we're at a point where it's clearly dangerous to pretend you can't tell the difference between leftists and fascists. And if you genuinely can't tell, it's time to wise up.
