Some top tunes on this #totp

Shed Seven's best track IMO #totp

This is the one with the Muppets video. #totp

At last, one of 1999's top trance tunes touches down on #totp

The Scottish edition of the Sunday Express newspaper published a front page article by Paula Murray on 8 March 2009, "Anniversary Shame of Dunblane Survivors",[1] which was critical of survivors of the Dunblane massacre, by then aged 18 and 19, for posting "shocking blogs and photographs of themselves on the Internet". The "shocking" content, read from the survivors' social networking pages, with Bebo being mentioned in the article, included colloquial language and some swearing, mentions of sex and alcohol and joking references to a confrontation (interpreted by the tabloid as a "boast" about "getting in fights") and to being a "Scottish terrorist" in London. The article received a great deal of negative attention given the tenuous grounds for making the attacks. Survivors and members of the public complained to the UK Press Complaints Commission.[2][3][4]

Today was the 30th anniversary of Scotland’s first and only school shooting, which is also a day to remember how a right-wing tabloid cyberstalked the survivors waiting for them to turn 18, in order to run a front page smear attack on them for…having grown up to be normal teenagers on the internet.

Quite enjoyed Shirley Manson as the baddie terminator in the Sarah Connor Chronicles. #totp

Drummer's not fooling anyone. #totp

The age of Budweiser ad tunes becoming hits. #totp

I agree, but I do think that if Clive was to make the jump he would concentrate on building up his Norwich base to ensure reselection and re-election.

At last, a properly decent tune at number one. #totp

Remembering loads of Hepburn flyposting around Stoke. Them and Gay Dad. #totp

They're playing live too!

Sixpence None the Richer are singing live. Shania was not. #totp

Ashamed to confess that I have a soft spot for Kiss Me. #totp

Second time showing of this performance. How many more times can we expect #totp to show it?

Remember Radio 1 going ape for Driftwood. But it's so, so boring. #totp

Nigel Farage, No Friend of Pintsmen Far from being a community effort to defend boozers, Reform UK’s campaign to ‘save British pubs’ is a seedy attempt to open up tax breaks for millionaire hospitality tycoons.

Photographs of a dinosaur-looking bird, the shoebill, and popstar Sabrina Carpenter, overlaid with a height comparison showing both are 152 cm, with visual graphics saying the magazine's name SSWAGGER and some Chinese characters

Photographs of a shoebill and popstar Sabrina Carpenter overlaid with a height comparison showing that, yes indeed, both are just 152 cm

I can't even begin to describe this photograph. I think that might be Taylor Swift on a night out with Sabrina Carpenter. But Sabrina is photoshopped to have a shoebill face and talons, with wing-tips coming out her coat but still Sabrina's hair

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

This proper tickled me

Long shot I know but is anyone out there an expert in Scottish voter registration law as it existed in 1880? In particular when people who had been adjudged qualified as county electors actually joined the register and were able to vote?

📊 How powerful are polls in influencing election outcomes?

🗳️ @krausewe.bsky.social & @christinagahn.bsky.social examine how election polls can shape voter behaviour, from bandwagon effects to strategic voting, and why their influence is more complex than it first appears 🤔

I'll keep an eye out in my vintage book hunt travels!
