If only we could all be as happy as Mick George.

Any other insomniacs often plagued by stupid looping combinations of two different songs? Oh, would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are? (WHHHHUUUUUUP!) One foot in the grave!

DID YOU KNOW that there's a church in Mexico where they worship No Jacket Required era Phil Collins and have a big animatronic statue of him dancing about slowly in his pants to 'One More Night'.

Has there ever been an album cover that better captures that feeling when you're in a park and have a sudden need to do a shite but you can see from where you're standing that there's a padlock on the door of the toilets?

i got stung by a radioactive bee i can't fly or make honey, but my knees look fucking spectacular

The amount of people who must have driven past The Love Shack because there was a sign outside that said STAY AWAY, FOOLS!

Do you think Barry White was alright with the nickname The Walrus Of Love? Cheeky bastards.

Thrown off the Vengabus for passing a solid in the chemical toilet. No way I could have waited til San Francisco.

Just went to the Oreo website and hit “accept all cookies” … and now we wait

"Please, Mr Robot was my father. Call me Eric"

Emerald Mine Kampf, anyone already done that one?

Dreamed I was fronting a band called The Hairy Miracles.

Future plan:- entering a marathon but doing it in character as Roy Jay so it takes forever because I'll keep having to jump back to say either "Spook!" or "Slither!" and will periodically have to turn to the watching crowds to inform them that they will all be doing this tomorrow.

Just remembered that The Muppet Show theme song contains the line “it’s time to put on makeup” and it makes me wonder what they look like without it, maybe they look normal

Marvelling to myself earlier about how David Lynch somehow managed to top the "HOW'S ANNIE?!" ending of the original run of Twin Peaks with an even better one with The Return. Fuckin hell, the conclusion of that finale haunted me for DAYS afterwards.

This from today's Telegraph, the right wing press encouraging my dad's delusions about having a dog in the 1950s that trotted back home from its wanderings and when my dad asked it where it had been it looked at it him and said "Been down the river."

A woman outside a shop, well over a decade ago, describing someone's tall tale as "a cock and ball story".

What are overhead phrases from long ago that have stayed with you? I remember a woman in Hair Underground in Longfield, Kent in the late 80s describing the soft drink Lilt to her hairdresser as "that new exotic muck."

Just found a spam email that opens with: "Hi pumpkin Ding dong, it’s Alluring Pauline 1379" Just amazing. DING DONG IT'S ALLURING PAULINE.

Check out the quintessentially 1970s boats on this feral looking rabble. Come and have a praise if you think you're hard enough!

I’ve a lot of respect for the off license near my flat, who’ve tackled Dry January head on with a ragged cardboard sign which simply reads BOOZE JANUARY.

when you ask Hitler for the 5th time whose kampf it was

Is there an old ident that feels more like death's icy fingers stroking your soul than this?

How do rental vehicles greet each other? Hiya car!

Fully woke up laughing out loud because in semi-sleep I'd remembered Dennis Nilsen's dog was called Bleep. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Can't wait til someone I know next says they're not going to do something then abruptly changes their mind so I can go "Alright, Neil Young!"

I can still keenly feel the sense of outrage when this happened.

GROTBAGS, YOU MONSTER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO DENNIS WATERMAN?

I used to work with someone who believed if you received a knighthood you were contracted to be an assassin for the monarchy. Imagine Tom Baker and I dunno Ringo Starr reluctantly crashing through your window at night with daggers in their teeth because you said PRINCE ANDREW IS A NONCE on Bluesky.
