My favourite painting is Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. The other three can change, but this has been my favourite ever since I decided I had a favourite painting.

Much like Westward Ho needs to change it's name to avoid confusion with my aunty Tina.

Said exactly this to someone the other day who was reposting Trump tweets. We left to escape that shit.

Watched the first couple of episodes of Wayward on Netflix. Seems pretty decent so far, but Mae Martin is an excellent standout in it.

The last 15 minutes of this Scotland v Belarus game has been hilarious. It's all over the place!

Unfortunately, although you are entirely correct, 80% of the replies to this will be from pedantic little pricks pointing out your grammatical error. Sorry, that's just the way it is.

Just watch the game. I like watching football on the TV sometimes but know virtually nothing about players, managers, team form, tactics. Who really gives a fucking shit? Just tell the truth 🤷

Yeah my partner hates that. Have to wait till she's not looking.

Absolutely loving the soundtrack, still unsure why it was put out as NIN instead of Reznor/Ross, maybe because a few tracks have vocals? I think it's the best soundtrack they've done since The Social Network, though.

My girlfriend wanted to watch it so I've had to suffer all eight episodes. And I agree, it's fucking abysmal. A nonsensical mess of a program, most of it completely fictionalised. Just bizarre. The last series with the Menendez brothers was at least somewhat realistic!

Awesome. Never managed to catch them live. I remember having a massive argument with my mum because she wouldn't let me travel from Birmingham to the Brixton Academy to see them in 1994, aged 15 😆
