The dancefloors of Manchester that created a freedom like nowhere else
'That was our moment and our chance to exist without any concerns of what was happening anywhere else'
Yaroo! Mark Wood and I (pictured*) were interviewed about More Sin - he compiled it, I wrote the foreword - by Manchester Evening News and growing up in gay clubs in very different places.
(*not pictured, but there's pics of us as babygays involved)

Just Another Day - Series 2: EastEnders
In a programme first broadcast in 1987, John Pitman visits Albert Square and meets the cast of the BBC soap EastEnders.
I don't ever recall seeing this originally, but I watched it last night and surmised that this must've been what Victoria Wood took the piss out of for the BTS Acorn Antiques doc. And because of that reverse, I found it unintentionally camp and funny. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I’ll either leave the door wide open so their stuff is on show or I’ll pull the items out if I can’t see another that’s empty. Fuck ‘em!

If you put your stuff in a gym locker without using a padlock and there’s no others free available for people (ie. me) who want to secure their property away, best believe I will be dragging your shit out and leaving it on the bench or floor. There’s a clue in the name; LOCKer

Been to see Better Man at the cinema and I now want to go to a Robbie Williams gig. Is that the idea behind it? If so it worked.

You’ve heard of Elf on A Shelf but have you also heard of quitting with these stupid fucking variations of the same unfunny posts?

Last Christmas by Wham! Is the official Christmas Number 1 for the 2nd year in a row, and 40 years after the song originally debuted.

Shaking that I’m now off work until 2nd January. Haven’t had this much time off in one go for over a decade!

Thank you for your email. As you are likely aware, I am mentally checked out until 2025 and will be unable to provide a response to your inquiry until then. If you have any questions, that’s unfortunate.

Found the trick to beating the Sunday Scaries; work across the weekend and be on call both days so that way you know exactly what awaits Monday morning 🙂 (but also 🫠😴💀)

The “I’m not interested in anything but my own posts” brigade have really ruined Spotify Wrapped.
