Haven't watched a single episode of peaky blinders or breaking bad 🤷‍♂️

Da ghost Reilly @doghousereilly.bsky.social · 3d

I haven’t seen Lost, The X Files, Beavis and Butt-Head, ER, Buffy, Saved by the Bell, South Park, Jurassic Park, Titanic, Avatar, Clueless, The Truman Show, The Matrix, Scream or Saving Private Ryan.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Tony Harrison RIP
I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades.
Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

Leicester are lucky cunts, they played completely ineffective peplite football, barely laid a glove on us.... But typically we couldn't score that second goal. I've been negative about Campbell but he was great with iling junior In front... And what a goal that was.

Lee @leecartwright.bsky.social · 12d

Maybe 3 at the back🤷‍♂️..... But yeah you're probably right with Campbell still at right back

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS…

Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’

FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare

Please wake up folks.
