The great thing about Pi Day, is that it’s a recurring celebration.

Thank you for sharing your experience with it, much appreciated. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work for you, that’s really frustrating.

Tight Fit come on at number one and my teenage daughter just shouts ‘Why?!’ at the screen #totp

Ah, the early 80s, when boys were boys and girls were girls, and boys were girls and girls were boys, and nobody cared and everyone was really cool #totp

The promo for This Life using the ‘Anna, this is the 90s…’ scene there. I spend most of my time having to remind myself it isn’t.

The sun is so rare in Scotland they had to write a song about it #totp

Daughter revising for her Physics mock. Asks herself out loud what latent heat is, to which I automatically replied ‘wasn’t he an Australian tennis player?’

She did not find this funny.

She said to come back in about 30 minutes. I left and had a wander, then came back an hour later (they had some lovely sounding food options). I walked in to find maybe 6 or 7 people stood in a group behind the counter staring blankly at a coffee machine. The woman from earlier just shook her head.

I was out in an unfamiliar town today, and wanted some lunch. I went into an interesting looking gallery which had a cafe. I waited ages at the counter to be served, only for a woman to finally appear and say they couldn’t serve food right now as the new coffee machine was arriving. (1/2)

I once spent a very long bus ride sat behind a woman sexting someone for the entire journey. Very impressive array of vocab 🤣

My brother worked at HMV and got us freebie tickets to see Vanilla Ice in Manchester just after Ice Ice Baby came out. I swear he played the song three times, did one other song and then that was that.

This is infinitely better than all the film adaptations of Wuthering Heights put together #totp

Feels like he’s doing a PA at your local nightclub. ‘Come on Ferrari’s! Make some noise!’ #totp

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)

In an unexpected plot twist, the woman over the road just came home dressed as a nun.
