I would have preferred England to get through, to get beaten by Spain, in another final

I can’t have everything my own way, though

If the Repo! 4k remaster ends up the cinemas, the elder millennial goths are going to be so cringey…

I will be one of those elder millennial goths. I will be so cringey.

I was walking of out of Slam Dunk Festival the other weekend, mildly dehydrated and slick with the layers of sun tan notion from throughout the day, when this dude who was clearly on some kind of substance, points at me and shouts (a bit slack jawed), ‘maaaaate, I can see your purple aura!’

I’ve had worse things shouted at me in my life, and given I had pretty much been on my feet for 8 hours, the only thing I could muster in response was, ‘whoa! Thanks.’

To which he then responds, ‘yeeeeah man, I can see it! Are you Dutch? It’s the purple aura of a Dutchman!’

Out of ideas for suitable responses for that, I just gave him a fist bump and wished him a good evening.

That feeling when you reach the last of all available TV episodes of the show you’re watching and…

It turns in to week-by-week-episodic.

I didn’t watch Eurovision this year, but the internet insisted that I listen to the winner…

How bad must the rest of the songs have been for 6-TikTok-Shorts-In-3-Minutes to have won?

That was bloody dreadful!

Has ‘emo’ just become a catch-all/synonym for alternative/goth now?

Hearing people on the internet in their late-20s call themselves ‘Elder Emo’ is borderline offensive to all those who had to pay £20 for an imported AFI CD back in 2000.

I’m not someone who is in to celeb gossip, but I’m in to Lady Gaga-for-people-who-think-mayo-is-spicy, Chappell Roan being dragged in a way that PR can’t spin is something that I’m in to

I kept seeing people with Fontaines DC T-shirts on, and all these people looked so similar, that even before they took their faded hoodies off, you just knew who would have a FDC tshirt on.

I have now heard Fontaines DC, and as I suspected, they sound like what the inside of a CEX smells like.
