ganglesprocket commented on the post, Phil Pirrip RIP 3 weeks, 2 days ago
I wish I had more than “Ah Bollocks” to offer. Sadly the more I loved folks the less I have to say. This is not a criticism. In this wee spot, I don’t want to take up space. Phil, you were a nice guy, we will miss […]

ganglesprocket commented on the post, Graham Linehan got suspended from twitter 1 month, 1 week ago
Can I say something controversial? Graham Linehan getting kicked off twitter might help his mental health. He strikes me as a man who spends too much time on there, in a certain area of it, who now can’t see a […]

No Hey Duggee fans here? It’s the jewel in the CBeebies crown just now, a programme that, after a few, I will cheerfully argue is as good as The Wire, The Sopranos and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Parents of young […]

I have said this before and it does bear repeating; I have rarely been more pleasantly surprised by a performer than I was by him.
Many years ago Robin “Infinite Monkey Cage” Ince regularly did a strange […]

Starship Troopers. A bunch of pretty terrible soap actors earnestly fight giant bugs in space while a supporting cast of highly reliable B Movie legends like Michael Ironside and Clancy Brown are fully aware that […]

Some great news in these dismal days. Fife’s finest purveyors of pop The Aliens have a storming new tune called “Beautiful Face” which has cheered me up no end.
Welcome back lads, I’ve missed you for one. -

As I listened to this song I wondered, what does it remind me of? And then it hit me.

Hows your lockdown going? I find myself designated a key worker, with my wife expected to her job as normal at home, and with two children under six going mad.
So life as normal but with trapped children. Joy […] -
ganglesprocket commented on the post, How are we all doing? 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I am having a weird time; I am classed as a key worker and feel like an imposter because I am not a nurse, policeman or foodworker. So a very strong sense of imposter syndrome abounds.
I have a six year old […]

I have it on right now. I found the vinyl going for a tenner at Tynemouth Flea Market a few months back and I play it an awful lot. IMHO “With The Beatles” sounded great but it’s not […] -

I got really quote obsessed by The Aliens back in the day, and I actually saw (I think) one of their first ever shows at KOKO in Camden. The last time I saw them though, Gordon Anderson was looking, I have to say, […]

KT Tunstall is a singer I’ve always liked. I just wish she wasn’t opening Lidl’s 100th store. In Cowdenbeath. I mean, I know she’s from Fife and may well just happen to be in the neighbourhood that day, but still…
