There are better pants out there and I think they’ve lost the plot. DEN Loungewear are far better.

So which Eurovision fan influencer has got the most likes for exclusively revealing the Eurovision news today? It would be interesting to compare these practices against the fan media practices that I examined back in 2015 when the social media, internet and Eurovision landscape was very different.

I would easily die by overthinking. The number of sleepless nights I’ve had as a result. I wish I was wired differently.

Trainspotting at Glasgow Central and they’ve unveiled the plaque of a Caledonian Sleeper loco, Polmadie. If you’re into this sort of thing.

Some gays really need to get their acts together seriously…

I booked this ages ago. Besides that, it was good to catch up with others, do the quiz and have a dance.

No idea. I guess the organisers don’t know how she would behave until she’s actually there. On the flip side, Emmy and Lee Smithurst were great.

And when you ask a panel to name their favourite Eurovision songs, you are guaranteed to get claps, moans or groans from the fandom as their music taste is then (in)validated.

She’s such a petulant child when she isn’t centre of attention. Just such an awful person. But probably one of the few opportunities for her that pays the bills.

So last night I learnt that Sandra Kim hates it when she isn’t centre of attention, she’s very flirty towards the gays (perhaps without knowing said people where gay), and that she’s a bit dragphobic explaining ‘they (countries/Eurovision) shouldn’t send men in dresses!’ 🙄 🤦🏻‍♂️

Perhaps if I didn’t think or overthink I’d actually live a better life.

Not me and @peteturton85.bsky.social being interviewed for the Science Museum in Bradford about #Eurovision. Quite fun to actually talk about technological advances of the thing for a change!

This probably happened to someone last night when I saw a dude bring out his parrot for walkies that was being serenaded by the busker covering David Bowie tracks.

Thomas The Tank Engine is spicier than I remember
"Over!" groaned Scruffey. His couplings tightened. He was stretched between Oliver and the trucks. "I don't like this!" "Go it!" yelled Duck. "Well done, Boy, WELL DONE!" "OW! OW!" wailed Scruffey, but no-one bothered about him. "OW! 00000W! I'm coming apaaaaaart!" There came a rending, splitting crash. Oliver shot forward suddenly. Scruffey's front end bumped behind his bunker, while Scruffey's load spread itself over the track.

I hate changing trains at Wigan NW, its always freezing especially when there’s a huge gust of wind on the platform as it acts as a wind tunnel. Its enough to put the willies up you 🌬️

A classic order for the student who’s hungover after a heavy night during Freshers week.

Catching up on #JustAMinute as I meander up the West Coast Mainline to Glasgow for Eurobash and 5 mins of this episode has involved Gyles Brandreth talking about his experience with Grindr. Good to hear Radio 4 discussing gay culture 🤣
