There's something very Swansea about an incorrect film quote as graffiti which someone has incorrectly corrected.

A beige wall with graffiti which originally read 'pretty shit city'. Someone has then tried to correct it by adding just one 'y' after 'shit'

30 odd years later and we're all still doing it

The cool kids will all be at the VERY SERIOUS Art Pub Quiz in Elysium on the Sunday 4pm

Only one belly button between all the Spice Girls bringing the total to five for this episode, and a grand belly button-o-meter score for the evening of eleven #totp

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

Does he have multiple belly buttons?!

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

Four

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

Three

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

ONE! (but it's the same as the #totp last week/20 minutes ago)

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

Total belly buttons this episode: SIX

Higher or lower for next episode, what do you reckon?

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

First 30 seconds of 1998 #TOTP and there's already one hit on the Bellly Button Meter (which I just invented).

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

wait, no - SIX!

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

FIVE!

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

this band is just boys and they don't have belly buttons and can only prove their humanity by standing up from chairs dramatically

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

hmm none in this band, but if I counted audience...

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

not yet, but any minute now I'm sure. The 90s were good for architectural features

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

I saw two?

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

Peter Andre has his short open a long way, but no belly button but there's two more in the backing singers, so it's FOUR

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 1d

In the late 90s/early 00s women weren't allowed to pull their trousers up properly

2nd song and we're up to TWO

Do you need an audiobook to listen to? A good one, that you'll enjoy? Because I have just the thing - I know it's good because I wrote and produced it and I have listened to it so many times by this point but I still like it: www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Redst...

If you're nearby it's Swansea Art Weekend this weekend. There's all sorts of highbrow stuff, and also this VERY intellectual Art Pub Quiz in Elysium 4pm Sunday, hosted by me and a mysterious figure called THE CURATOR.

I am very proud of the 'identify a painting by a sound effect' round.

But printers are the only one telling the truth about primary colours. Cyan, yellow, magenta. The red, yellow, blue thing is a psyop

neongrey @neongrey.bsky.social · 5d

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Badenoch slagging off English degrees. As someone with a degree with the word 'media' in it, it's nice to have a rest.

Ali Hancock @alihancock.bsky.social · 4d

Not really sure what a psyop is, mind
