Yeah...definitely my experience from working at Parcelforce and various pubs.

Also, about 5 years ago, I was in a steakhouse in Germany with a co-worker, and he wanted dessert...so he asked the waitress how big it was, and she said "Would you like to share?" and he got defensive and said "No! It looks gay...two men sharing dessert..." I tried to tell him she probably...

Think you just never noticed. My early-to-mid teen boy peer group regularly pronounced things 'gay', including yoghurt, having an earring in the right ear (or was it the left? can't remember), wearing all black, having too-long hair, having too-short shorts, smoking Silk Cut (or any type of...

Can't beat a ninja scrap to Joy Division

Some more... SWANS - always sounded like the poor man's Test Department to me, with silly vocals on top. BLACK FLAG - said this before on here...beyond about 3 songs, just found them mediocre and a bit cringeworthy. Even their hardcore fans don't listen to 3/4 of their stuff. And I know...

Never got it either: https://www.dissensus.com/threads/5022/page-4#post-70626 Fisherman Dub on Megaton Dub Vol 2 is OK Sonic Youth still seem the most overrated pile of indie shit to me. Like chemistry teachers pretending to be hip.

Ruth White's Flowers of Evil LP (Baudelaire readings) is ace.

Ping ponging between 1 and 2. The AI's really putting me off, though. Think I said this before, but the life-changing event for me was watching The Hunt For Britain's Paedophiles. Every single one of them had a cluttered, messy home: it's as big a 'nonce tell' as liking Star Trek or getting...

I was always getting snitched on as a kid - my takeaway was don't tell anyone anything. I even got snitched on for things I'd made up. My oldest sister is a complete cunt and was always running to my parents to snitch on my other sister and brother whenever they did anything they could possibly...

I didn’t know this was a thing again, to be honest – I remember when Irishness became cool around the mid-'90s, and Caffrey’s suddenly became really popular and was on tap everywhere (I haven’t seen it since…). Plus Father Ted, Cranberries, Sean Hughes, Roddy Doyle, The Butcher Boy, rise of The...

It basically means he lives on fried chicken and Guinness. We've all been there. You should only worry if he starts to shed 'ketones'. Those are the viral building blocks for monkeypox.

Only just found out that Monte Cazazza died in late June – the snap of him holding his heart, freshly ripped from his bleeding chest, for VILE magazine is one of those ‘classic’ old-school industrial images –and was copied by David Blaine a couple of decades later. He was also behind TG’s Gary...

I bought a steak bake from one of those. Always loved riding on the DLR, surely the pride of London public transport.

I tripped and hit the floor sideways at a Blaggers gig, but got pulled straight back up. Returned the favour at a Damned gig, but UK punks were always pretty good about not pogoing on each others' heads. Then again, having read the bloke from Agnostic Front's biog and the 'eyeball-squishing'...

What I don't get is: I'll watch some footage of skydiver parachute accidents...or worry about energy bills, then watch a video of a wasp turning a caterpillar into a zombie... or think about my sister having major back surgery next month...or nearly hit a dog during a driving lesson - and then...

This was the first one I remember, from the ultimate jobsworth cop - case got dismissed a day later

I think this is the thing some (including the people I work for) don't get. I have to remind myself at times.

I miss it, I thought 2020 was a magical trip. Never mind the vaccines, I think the year itself altered my DNA. I wish I'd recorded more online stuff for posterity, though. There's a fair bit of footage I just can't find anywhere now.

I went to Genoa yonks ago. Staglieno Cemetery’s amazing, made me actually want to die. The old town’s covered in political graffiti (ie circled As/crosses) (Genoa’s where the cops shot Carlo Giuliani in 2001) and you can touch each side of the street with your arms outstretched, it’s so narrow...
