Lady Companion and I celebrated/commiserated another Valentine's day together with a very nice brunch and later I am going out to a Goth Club.
It's a rugby weekend with Scotland playing England here in Edinburgh right this very moment so I am assuming the city centre may be Quite Lively later 🙄

My favourite achingly snarky line in Bob Stanley's Yeah Yeah Yeah is when he describes Madonna as being "as good as Kim Wilde"

‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban
Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining
At least 12 Women’s Institute (WI) groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership.
Members say more groups are likely to close, and that the federation’s decision has opened up a toxic, traditionalist culture that will deter younger women from joining. Continue reading...

A fond memory of my grandad is that, like me, he loved liquorice allsorts but if you were in his house, then it was required that you had to eat them by reaching into the box without looking and take the first one your fingers touched. Strictly no rooting around trying to get the good ones first!
The ideal bag of liquorice allsorts has no more than 3 triple decker sandwiches, no more than 5 plain ones and no less than 5 blue bobbly ones. Preferably a low pink to yellow ratio too.

on-brand Nick story: many years back, had a co-worker where we had a mutually acknowledged work-husband/work-wife dynamic.
someone else picked up on this and asked "which of you is the husband?" and she promptly replied "Me, of course" which DID NOT HELP the (slight) crush I had on her 😀

Im Monogamous but professionally polyamorous (I have multiple work-husbands because im a joy to be around and they also all want to secretly fuck me just like all work-husbands do)

Mind Enterprises are a recreation of italo disco taken to the point of parody. They make songs that sound like English isn't even their second language, chainsmoke in retro sportswear while sipping campari.
The thing is, they're actually really good at that kind of italo youtu.be/hyPXF5q_1BA?...

This feels like Charli is styling on a very specific Taylor Swift vibe to show yes she can do That Thing with ease
The way the lyrics flow and moments of vocal lilt are 100% Taylor Swift things and that's not something Charli XCX, of all people, would do unintentionally 😍 youtu.be/coCrrHqLQko?...

We went for cocktails. Except we were already involved by that point.
So ok, we were getting on well on a night out and agreed to go on a date in a week or two. But then Things Got Out Of Hand, we left the club together and welp, that was it. But we still went on the date a couple of weeks later!

This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?
My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.

If it's just me, as soon as I am Not Feeling It.
If it's something I'm watching with Lady Companion, we came to an agreement early on that if we both weren't feeling a movie, then we'd give it 10 more minutes then it's done.

If you’re not vibing with a movie, how long do you usually give it before turning it off? #filmsky
