Listening to The Pleasure Principle while reading the Gary Numan article in Electronic Sound and Asylum is superb isn’t it?

Only GN record I ever bought was Cars for my little brother trying to tempt him away from the Wombles and Star Wars theme album - on repeat 😆

😆😆😆 if only, terrible Guinness though. Luckily on the 0% now so the pour doesn’t matter one bit 👍👍🤣

Bargain and no doubt the screen will be huge.

There’s a new Warrington-Runcorn Newtown Development Plan album out today, I snagged a Kraftwerk ticket and Trump didn’t win (what would have been frankly quite absurd) the Nobel Peace Prize.
Happy Friday 😊

I totally missed the pre-sale, thought I’d missed the lot by about 9:17am today but those prices must’ve put people off?

Managed to get a ticket for Kraftwerk at The Halls (the old Civic) Wolverhampton. Prices jumping all over the shop though, saw them at £165 restricted view at one point 😬
Nabbed a much better seat a lot less. You horror Ticketmaster.

I was too late for a ticket for that Sy.Gigs wasn’t it?

Honestly can’t imagine normal palaces, servants and normal valets etc.? You could well be right though or that’s a big “ish” 😄

I’m not sure the royals have a great record on “family life” either to be quite honest?

For the next couple of nights, the IDEAL stage show is at the Bloomsbury Theatre. Had a complete blast watching it last night. Like a gonzo stoner Joe Orton panto, with shitloads of sharp gags and tons of pure clowning, and a guest slot for the monsters from the Claws of Axos. Go if you can!

Thank you for the reminder, caught them in Much Wenlock not so long ago and our corner of South Shropshire is not usually on the radar of decent bands. Even those from Bishop’s Castle 😆

It really would and it’s so easy to point across the North Sea to where more equal societies score high on the happiness index etc. 🙄

Wealth tax or watch the world burn, ooh look at those flags and dinghies. Still convinced it’s a minority of very vocal horrors here but way too many nodding along?

Excellent thread and what an incredible resource 👇

In 1996, Brewster Kahle wrote "Preserving the Internet" for Scientific American. Nearly 30 years later, it’s striking how many of his predictions about digital preservation came true—and how many challenges remain.

Let’s compare 1996 vs 2025 🧵

Nabbed from Facebook, you're doing just fine Gary 👌😆

You can see the watermark but I'm not putting a credit or a link because most of the whoppers having a pop at him in there are the very same people Gary Neville criticised.

"If Gary Neville can single-handedly piss off Simon Jordan, Jeremy Kyle and Matt Le Tissier then he must be doing something right."

Groundbreaking! The UK Armed Forces has sworn in its first-ever humanist pastoral carer – Dr Neil Weddell. This means thousands of non-religious service personnel will have access to like-minded pastoral support that genuinely reflects their values and worldview. 🧵

The Librarians was incredible on BBC4 last night. Such brave women standing up to book bans, despite threats to their jobs and far worse.
The irony of the group calling themselves “Moms for Liberty” too. Tyrants with a polite smile 🤬

Look I know shoplifting from independent shops is very bad but I can't help thinking that this woman could have done with the crystal ball *before* she went shoplifting?

It's from the local rag and no credit required, because fuck them... 😆

Some people just see “free stuff” and instead of thinking I can help other people out here, they see £££ 🙄

Good read and that part about Trump’s rambling speech at the UN claiming he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize is comedy gold 🙃😆😆
