I can agree to disagree on music, TV, footie, etc;
but not on Human Rights.
Equality should mean EVERYBODY.
Including Trans People 🏳️‍⚧️
No T&Cs!
I don't want to be friends with anyone who disagrees with that & will be unfollowing you if your posts suggest you do

T = Terrorvision

Always felt Terrorvision called it a day at a daft time cos rock & indie bands were becoming more popular.
Got to see them a few times tho and saw Tony Wright on his own.
And I'm chuffed to see them back now - perseverance is good 😁

Day 9 - I
(00s)

This isn't an artist I tend to play at home generally so when this song came on the music channel I took very little notice until I heard the "It doesn't make any sense does it" comment at the end. Hold up. Rewind. Genius! 😄

Not sure what his sense of humour was like, but I shook the bottle first and when I opened it, it went all over me - gave him a little knowing wink assuming we'd probably have found it funny 😉

I've decided on this. Gwen's fuck you song to Courtney Love for dissing her as a 'cheerleader'.
Definitely the stand out song of her solo stuff for me - think I sang it in my head for half of the 00s 😄

I'm afraid Q did defeat me - so, I thought I'd utilise one of my extra D's 😉
Q = Queen Of The New Year - Deacon Blue

I saw this I think in 1990. They'd been on TOTPs and my mum said she wondered if Lorraine had that much energy for the whole show - yep, she did!

Shame on you @kirkleescouncil.bsky.social
This bus lane will be the death of the local wildlife and for what? There are no long queues - there's only one bus, and that is cancelled half the time!
It's a waste of time, money, and life 😞

I bet that's brilliant. I got a Grace tee but couldn't afford to get anything else.
Have you seen Butch Ado About Nothing? It's available on the Next Up Comedy app if not (think you can do a free trial).

I saw her in Leeds last week, and Molly Naylor off course - brilliant 🙌
It definitely does!

I hope it never does, reckon that's an important part of what makes you so good at it.

P = The Prodigy

I had quite the ponder today but decided on this because I mentioned it in the last A-Z.
Wish I'd seen them when Keith was still alive but this was a really nice tribute.
(Was also chuffed to see Soft Play supporting - excellent 🙌)
