My dad told me our house was haunted by a headless nun. He then proceeded to wrap my old footy in black gaffer tape and stuff it into his hoodie and then wait on the stairs (for what may have been hours) until I went for a piss so I may be greeted by this dead bitch. I still have the occasional nightmare almost 30 years later

I can’t recommend deleting Twitter enough, it’s a cesspit that is designed to keep you doom scrolling. You get fed enough things that you’re interested in to keep you hooked, but it also feeds you lots of this shit designed to anger or annoy you. You can argue algorithm all you want, echo chamber all you want, it’s full of musk/russian controlled bots destabilising the west and common sense. It’s appealed to the lowest comment denominator and won. It’s lowered the terms of debate and without overblowing it, it’s a cancer on society. Deleted it years ago, got involved in local issues with social enterprises that help people. Look after my friends and loved ones. The rest of the world will burn. There is not much else we can we do.

CT's redemption arc is more impressive than Joelinton's tbh

Paul Weller is a wanker who stole mine and the wife’s table at a party. I mean it was an after show party we weren’t invited to but Ross Noble snuck us in but he’s still a wanker.

"Now for all you Sunderland fans, we've got Doug Buggerall out of his nursing home to give you his match telephone report from Roker Park live from 1992....." "Sunderland fans might've been expecting a great start to the season but were soon to be disappointed when Newcastle United won earlier in the day so it was a subdued Roker at kick off....."

Something similar happened to me when I was about 8, I looked away, rubbed my eyes etc..... still there so I shouted out loud and dived under the covers shitting myself till my dad came running through. I remember he wasn't amused*. *Probably as I described the thing as shape like an Afrika Korp uniform hovering but no real head/face. I was into army/airfix soldiers etc.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/13/house-ufo-hearing Well, it wouldn't be a secret base if we all knew about it, would it?!

This isn’t just pacific to twitter. 😉

Fucking snowflakes.

Never watched look north for about twenty years, they watch it every Monday like it's 1992.

I think the Jam (and the Specials) were the first two bands that I properly became obsessed with as a kid. I’ve gone in and out with Weller over the years, wasn’t fussed about seeing him earlier this year but the missus said she’d like to go and it was only 10 mins down the road so we did and it turned out to be a really good night. All the Farage/Weller dads were there and I hope they enjoyed the Palestinian flag he had draped over his amp. Say what you want about his music but his principles have remained intact to a much larger extent than any of his peers. That fuckin prick Lydon supported Brexit ffs..

To be fair most of Sunderland is like it's still 1992. Well the better parts at least!

There's a new Netflix series called investigation alien or something. All about some whistleblower from the intelligence services in the US. I started watching it but couldn't hear it for the sighs coming from the other end of the sofa.

"Where did we get him?! The fucking nerd can't even describe a supernatural encounter without talking about his models!?"

Aye, I agree PIL had some solid muscle in the band itself, but I cannot bear Lydon, his voice is like nails on a blackboard to me. Leftism is one of favourite albums form the early 90s, but I always, without fail, skip the track on it with Lydon screeching over it. That video btw, excellent- both the choice of song and Mr. Wobble.

I like some of what Mr. Weller has done, musically, but I hold him entirely responsible for every single bloke who still sports the absolute tonsorial abortion that is…

And as the mighty Chart Music say, all WellerDads voted for brexit

The Clash were much better imo. I do like some of their stuff but I was a bit young when they were at their peak. Wella’s a funny one for me. I love the odd thing he’s done but don’t see the hype with most of his stuff. And the hardcore devotees who still consider him to be some sort of god? ‘Sheep’ nails it. It’s a bit like with the Mod movement. Some of the aesthetic is great. But the ones fully emerged in it, especially the older ones are more than a bit having breakfast in Spoons telling it like it is. The look looks fucking daft when it’s observed to the nth degree too. Especially as most of them are too old to pull it off

I was still really a nipper, but I fucking hated the Jam because I shared a room with my older brother, who was bang in to them. He’d come in, take my AC/DC off the record player, and put the fucking Jam on Any argument resulted in a mild chinning. Our bedroom was like Brighton Beach in tbe 60s, my half was all Rock, biker jackets and Converse baseball boots, his was The fucking Jam, trousers with creases, and parkas. After hating/beating the shite of each other for our formative years, we did eventually become the very best of friends, even largely sharing musical tastes now.

Getting wound up by perceived wrongs is one of the things that makes you a mackem. It's like fucking seagulls, defending nonces, casual racism, shitting in your seat at the ground and marrying your sister/mother. It's in their DNA.

Speaking of old gigs, I found a music paper from 1990 in a charity shop on Saturday. Remember what gig prices used to be like!

Steady on.

I hope Tuchel has the balls to follow Carsley’s lead and rotates Kane. Giving the captaincy to Bellingham would be a statement of intent. Clearly Kane still has loads to offer but his lack of mobility and his penchant for dropping deep mean he isn’t suitable to start games when we’re trying to press from the off. He’s still a great player for the right opposition but I don’t think he’s got the legs anymore to remain an automatic starter/captain

Well if nothing else, he gave Gordon a fair crack of the whip, and he had the balls to drop Kane. Both things which his super limited predecessor couldn't do.

I was advising you to leave twitter ffs. "Good luck if you decide to stay on THERE". Not HERE.

Yes but he also had a significant amount of his brain consumed by a worm and is definitely taking steroids so...

Between the ages of 18-22 Weller wrote some lyrics which, for his age, class and education, are fucking astounding 👍

I saw clip of Ted lassoh/oo and I have to confess, it looked FUCKING SHITE as in PROPER CACKA.

Doug Buggerall

Look North’s one of those things you might catch some of occasionally by accident. Local news programs are largely redundant anyway but nothing more so than their day / two day old sports roundups on a Monday teatime. But they seem to watch it religiously and get constantly wound up by it

WTF SB?

I mean, that's nowt compared to the abuse on twitter/X. Can't really see any abuse tbh. Infact all I see is really good advice? 🤷‍♂️ If you're going to spread Daily Mail headlines via X on here, expect to get pulled up on it. You need to appreciate the true motive of these social media and MSM companies who are pushing for a post-truth world. Attacking experts such as judiciary will play an increasingly important role in this, that is what they are doing. Toontastic politics is an echo chamber tbf which isn't great. CT is best described as a wet tory (and not just his bladder issues) and was hounded out but thankfully still sticks around. If you're enjoying it in general, just avoid this thread is my advice.

Flouncing over “words on the internet”? ( not your first flounce, see you soon ).

Wonder why?

Hold on. Isn’t RFK leading the crusade against ultra processed foods and chemicals? Yet he’s eating McDonalds and drinking a coke?

'look north'

Yes they did. How the fuck do you think I knew man

And.... Can you get this on a T shirt CT?

I think you should be locked up for 3 years for being thick

Are you telling me that the head of the PIF isn’t the fun loving, easy going liberal we all thought he was?
