I just thought it was funny. Maybe you had to be there

Fuck, I wish I had been there now.

Well you weren’t and I’ve now deleted my post because maybe it was a bit too pointless for the pointless thread. I’m going to go practice telling funny stories.

Nothing is too pointless for the pointless thread!

I was giving the Looking Sideways @anonymity episode a second outing whilst driving a couple of days back. He mentions that there must be some kind of fate/ destiny involved in his place of birth being Portland, (as in Weymouth and Portland, Dorset), and it also being the site of the first skatepark in the UK - Skate Escape built by Lorne Edwards. He might be on to something as Tom Penny’s birthplace iirc was Weymouth, (ref. Flip ad featuring a shot of Tom’s passport). Must be something in the water.

Tried that thing Andrew Huberman said, where you don’t look at your phone for ten minutes when you wake up. As a result I can remember dreaming about talking to Tom Penny about hats, specifically TSA peaked beanies.

My dream last night involved me working for the CID fraud squad trying to track down a rouge unsigned music artist who was putting out tracks under the names of mostly forgotten about 90s bands like The Frank and Walters and such… very odd, my dreams rarely have a whole plot line!

How do you blur out text in a post here?

Settings cog, ‘blur spoiler’.

Impossible for me to read that and not hear John Peel saying it.

I usually get this song stuck in my head by them when I’m catching a train…

Tim, he goes out everyday.
To Darlington railway,
To watch the trains go by…

Haha…

Even though I’d have to say Never Ending Staircase holds more 90s memories for me, as it was on a mix tape a girl made me…

They were waaaay more Mark Goodier than John Peel.

Fashion Crisis Hits New York was always the one for me.
