If I had pipes like Idina Menzel, I'd sing literally everything. Everything. Ordering a bagel with a bit of vibrato would brighten up every Monday morning.

"Any hot drinks with that?"

"A BREAKFAST TEAAAA PLEEEeeAeeEEEEEeeEAAAAAAAaaaAaaAaAase!"

Those are proper teuchter accents, too. Scottish accents are weird, though. I mean there are nice Scottish accents - the kind James McAvoy, Peter Capaldi etc have - and then  there's everyone else who drop half their consonants to the point of illegibility. I remember coming back from the times I lived abroad and even I couldn't understand what people were saying.

@memorandom I showed a Polish colleague a video of Kevin Bridges the other day and I literally had to translate, it was superb.

I went through a very dark period in the late summer last year, I got very ill. During the time I was away from work I sat and binged through all three series of the Leftovers.

It was phenomenal, I haven't been so heavily impacted by a series in ages. I love it. I was very susceptible to the mood and the style of the

Never heard of it, but I guess it'll have to go on my list now.
memorandom:
Yeah, I would watch pretty much anything with Carrie Coon in. She was great in the last season of Fargo too.

Oh Cedric, Omar, you guys and your beautiful, crazy hair.

What a fucking magical album this is. Definitely comes under the category of "albums you haven't listened to in ages then when you do, you wonder why you haven't listened to them in ages."

I honestly can't think of a song on here that's not sensational. I heralded Molko as a great poet the other

@memorandom has it gone down hill or are we just getting older? Haha. I wonder if people in their early twenties now will say THIS was the era for music.
memorandom:
I think there's a degree of nostalgia involved, it's just weird to have reached a point where I'm the one saying "modern music is just noise" and not one of my parents. . . Yeah, definitely getting old. Or already there.

Pardon a European socialist for questioning how you run your country but how do you have 18 school shootings in some six weeks and not address your gun laws?

I don't get it. I really fucking don't.

Condolences with anyone that's lost friends or family to any mass shooting. Completely avoidable.

I mean, that's assuming it wasn't James Corden or Piers Morgan.

I don't care what's between your legs, if you didn't have an awkward mid 90s to early 00s crush on Brian Molko then I don't even know what you were doing with your life.

Possibly one of the most under rated poets of his generation, I frequently forget when I come back to listening to Placebo (I just chucked on the Self Titled album for

@memorandom my immediate reaction to that was to feel old. Naturally. Then I remembered you've got a few years on me and I wound my neck in 😉
memorandom:
Yeah, some days I look in the mirror and it's not my Dad looking back at me, it's my bloody Grandad.

Start your week with Dookie, people. Why the heck not?

I'm definitely locked up in a world that's been planned out for me.

Is it Friday yet?

Oh yes. If I have another week like last week, I'm going to thump someone - probably someone at the benefits agency - by Friday.

Civil servants are people too @memorandom :'(

@memorandom absolute legend. Hoping to see him at Leicester comedy festival this year. This poem especially is on fucking point.
memorandom:
@sosbanfach Yeah, he's one of a kind - I always forget he's still about, and then  he'll show up in some music documentary on BBC4, and he's always just himself, there's no bullshit.

Let me go back to bed please.

Please?

memorandom:
Yeah, this is usually me around 2 in the afternoon. That period where you look at the clock every five minutes thinking half an hour has gone by.
sosbanfach:
@memorandom haha I started clock watching like that at about ten past nine. Tragic 😂

Wakeupwakeupwakeup.

Who even wants Tuesdays in their life? Tuesday is the new Wednesday, Wednesday has the hump, the half way point, you're getting there.

Tuesday is that moment a third of the way in to a road race where you've lost your early enthusiasm, you start to realise what you've let yourself in for and your legs are going "you fucking div, mate."

Caffeinecaffeinecaffeineplease.

This is going to be my new "Three Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please."

@elizathetroll so it should be!
