You know you're old when you don't own a Nirvana teeshirt but can name 3 songs. The youth do it the other way round
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly, but I have my doubts

I think every parent has a 'my baby shat up their back' story. Mine happened in B&Q while on an errand with my mate's horrible girlfriend. It was proper eggy. Horrible Girlfriend didn't like the fact that I had to unpeel the baby in her new flat. God bless my daughter and her vengeful guts 😈
When I was outside earlier, I saw Ginger Cat in the garden, clearly on the hunt for a catnip brunch. Hightailed it out of there the minute he saw me. Also caught a different cat the other day waiting for a quiet time to enjoy some 'nip. This is the best entertainment ever
*buzzzzzz*
BLOBBY IS ON THE LOOSE, REPEAT, BLOBBY IS ON THE LOOSE
Thank you! Did it Eric Carmen-style too! (All by myself 😂)
Glad that I'm done handling DIY stuff that makes me want to throw up or take 3 shits in a day
That'd be quite the collab. I'm seeing Bad Manners later in the year, if he summons Demis' ghost for a spot of 'Lip Up Fatty' I'll be well chuffed
I love Tony Blackburn, he's nowt but good vibes!
You know what, I bet the universe had to balance things out to make up for the fantastic time I was having, aka the complete opposite of an exploding cyst (Blondie gig on the beach in Miami.) (And yes, we met them)
Also only pestered by one dickwad neighbour! It's a fucking miracle!
Fuck me, I've done it! I've conquered my Everest! Ripped off a knackered shed roof and replaced it before the rain shows up! I didn't think I had it in me, I've still got some finishing bits to do, but the worst is over! I also might be a bit sunstrokey so I'm going to lie in the dark for a bit
3) If you are enquiring as to the whereabouts of the 20+ balls that have ended up in my garden over the years, rest assured that they're living their best lives as salad bowls for rats at the corporation tip
To the fuckwit neighbour at the back: 1) I am up a ladder hammering nails into a shed roof. I am wearing sunglasses and massive headphones. Which part of me says "Please come out and start waving at me to catch my attention"? 2) So your entire family is thick as shit, yes?
Nooo, I didn't go into labour! I wasn't even close!!! She was just a Debbie Downer!! Your poor dog! A live horrorshow!
"OI! FUCKING LISTEN!!"
What???!! And which NYE??? NYE 2000 was spent in a car with my mate and his hideous girlfriend, who refused to stop in Hadfield aka Royston Vasey after a drive to the moors in case I went into labour. I had 8 weeks to go 😂
I was too pregnant to enjoy NYE 2000, but NYE 1999 was a fucking blinder
It's too hot and I've got too much to do and no motivation
IIRC, many of the hotels were housing the homeless for a while. My current favourite thing about Blackpool is Red Rose Radio. It sounds exactly like Blackpool 😂
Blimey, the south pier end was the nicest bit for a while! It's been a shithole since I was a kid, the shit clearly just slides up and down the prom 😂
Did you manage to get your boat ride?
I grew up in Blackpool and I have a love of shitholes. Never apologise for posting shabby crap from the seaside. I find it strangely comforting 😂
Hahaha, lame humour and a bit cringe. A perfect match for the show 😂
Easy shoe theft klaxon
#TOTP 10/10 Burger Van Day insult here 😂
#TOTP That Bucks Fizz song in Spanish, for all you continental types youtu.be/DI-Fjpo7Vwk?...
Mind Your Language strip 😂 Please post a bit of that
#TOTP That 1981 episode was perfect. My inner 6 year-old is very happy
#TOTP Can't believe I left the room and missed my favourite Dollar song
#TOTP I miss being a Radio 1 Roadshow obsessive
#TOTP I don't think I've ever told anyone how much I like OMD. Well, I'm telling you now
Go to Oban, then get the boat to Tobermory. We saw seals when we went! Also, enjoy the cows 👍
The last time I played my Stylophone, Bowie died the next day. Am not fucking with that again
Nooooo, you're not listening to it right!! You need to be in the dark with your headphones on!! It's atmospheric, maaaan
#TOTP Miss Torquay! Fabulous
#TOTP This reminds me of dozing off in the back seat of the car while driving on the motorway at night. The Spanish version is just as banging
I was there for a one-night stand 😂
#TOTP Aaah, UB40's good shit
Do you remember the Robbie Williams quote about shagging Kylie? "Like having a beautiful Porsche but when you stick the key in the ignition, nothing happens" (or words to that effect)
just got back from the driving range and your mom says hi
#TOTP
I think this is the most Rrrrrunrrrig I've ever heard
#TOTP I'll take a littl bit of crap Crue over no Crue any day
@3dollarbill.bsky.social Is it your birthday today? Every year I get it wrong 😂 Anyway, happy birthday for whenever 😘😂
If you have an old Pringles can, they're great for catching spiders. Scoop up and bung the lid on, then use the tube to wang it outside as far as you can
Ooh, I've been to Hollywood Towers in Stockport! The hallways were (and probably still are) the most amazing liminal spaces
These guys are playing at Albert Hall but I'm working that night *big sulky face*
A beautiful snapshot in time www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIb-...
Bonkers that a 25 year-old arena gig, with all its flashing lights and staging, looks really dated compared to the jumbotron gigs of today
Maybe that's his face now. Maybe he was pissing and moaning one day and the wind changed
Top one
Daniel from Savage Garden went on to marry Kathleen from Hi-5 (which my daughter was also obsessed with), so that's another layer to this family's Savage Garden love
Watching a Savage Garden live video. Still know all the words, still annoyed that I was too poor and pregnant to see them on their farewell tour *blows raspberry*
#TOTP All Saints were nowt but dickbait
My celebratory rituals when I've finished all my jobs in the garden: 1) Soaking and boil-washing my dungarees 2) Throwing away my knackered trainers 3) Small contained bonfire/barbeque
A double a-side where one song is about heroin and the other is about a lady of the night. Disgusting #TOTP
#TOTP I worked on my shed for seven hours today
#TOTP *Evan Dando voice* 🎶 ...He resembles Rick Witter from Shed Seven 🎶
((HUGS)) It probably didn't 😂
#TOTP Oh, Lutricia McNeal, I'd like your song more if it didn't give me Arndale Game flashbacks
I'm still coming off hearing it the other day, so having it replanted was not what I wanted
#TOTP I blame Blackpool and school discos for this being a success
#TOTP According to Google Maps, Cleopatra are from closer to me (1.9 miles) than Oasis (3 miles), so they might be my local band of choice
#TOTP Not the worst Eurovision song we've ever sent. It's grown on me over time
#TOTP Bloody hell, actual songs that I love and don't hate!!
I met Cleo from Cleopatra at the recycling bins at Moss Side Asda a few years ago (rock 'n' rooooooll!) Hands down one of the best sleb meets ever, she's very sweet
#TOTP Fuck Wyclef, I'm watching Cleopatra again *squee*
#TOTP It's my favourite Cleopatra song!!
That was top tier. Possibly even better than ours. It's so much better when you're not crying, puking and stressing
Mom is Bad, Dangerous and Off The Wall
Oooh, Men At Work doing their Aussie anthem
I'm halfway through The Thing I Need To Do. One more bit to do tonight and that's me done for the day. I'm knackered and at the point of quitting but I need to power on through before the rain returns, so ughhh, I'll have to finish tomorrow
PRISCILLA!! Amazing stuff 😍 And more Kylie, and it's a good 'un! (On A Night Like This)
I am watching the Sydney closing ceremony as I was in a wee bit of a situation when I watched thebfirst time, so couldn't really enjoy it. Also, it's motivating me to do something I can't be arsed doing
Jimmy Barnes! Midnight Oil! They also had Paul Hogan riding in on a hat earlier. This is maximum manly Aussie 🦘
There's a section devoted to angle grinding! Followed by INXS fronted by Jon Stevens. Excuse me while I cry and throw up 😭
The sun is too hot and it's not letting the glue set properly 🤬
I'm picking in and out now but that 'Absolutely Everybody' song was everywhere. And I'm loving the Strictly Ballroom stuff to 'Love Is In The Air'
Part of me thinks 'piece of piss' but then I'm reminded that I have lived on flatlands for 30+ years and can't do inclines like I used to 😂
God, that sounds lush. I can't eat eggs or tomatoes (thanks, menopause) but that's the thing I'd have all the time if I could
Rolling into HR on Monday like
I see our Big Ange has gone. They don't call it Trashton-Under-Lyne for nothing
Followed by Elle McPherson doing, er, something on a giant camera with a retracting lens. It's a bit phallic. The people who organised this are definitely gay
Kylie followed by Greg Norman playing golf off of a big shiny shark. Followed by Bananas in Pyjamas
To the junior chav next door: maybe if you went to college or got a job, you wouldn't spend every day smoking weed in your back garden and pacing up and down on your phone and you could maybe save up to move away from your ratchet mother TL;DR: fuck off, twatface, you're annoying me
I've done 40 minutes of nasty graft and am rewarding myself with a pint of tea and Kylie doing the Olympics before I go out there and fuck about some more
Mad that they had Savage Garden on before the national anthem. Also, these fashions: so many sleeveless tees and 3/4-length trousers!
I listened to a lot of Savage Garden when I was pregnant and my daughter ended up loving them for no apparent reason when she was about 6 or 7. That's science right there
Thorpedo waving the Aussie flag during Affirmation 😭 Darren Hayes in a First Nations flag cutoff teeshirt 😭
There's nothing better than an Affirmation sing 'n' cry sesh 🫶 This was half my life ago 😭
Enduring the flag parade because Savage Garden are up next
It's flag-waving time and The Thorpedo is there!
My general beef with the Sydney Olympics closing ceremony is that the cameras don't spend enough time showing the singers when they're singing. I thought it was just Savage Garden that they did this to, but it seems to be other acts too
My mistake, it was the closing ceremony I watched. Pregnant, puking, crying and fighting executive dysfunction while I moved out of my flat
Are you opening your windows enough? Are you closing your curtains to keep the heat out on sunny days? Do I sound like a nagging mother yet?
