T Boy

Martine. Great very underrated pop song. Ricky. Fun but not as good for me. Spice Girls. Absolute let down. LLLTW was uneventful and Holler was ok but it wasn’t them. No surprise to see them leading here though.

How Down Boy has lasted this long escapes me.

Did you demand better from the last Tory government or were you happy to accept their efforts? Honestly, I’m really interested to hear.

I mean, I can’t say that I’ve loved this Labour government so far but I’m much more interested in examples from you about what the last Tory government were actually doing better?

I wish I could still get excited about Maroon 5 music tbh.

It’s amazing to see a list that impressive. I’ll need Stephen Fry gone soon as though. I like everyone else.

Oasis-it was their best single for some time. Rihanna’s was decent but not a stand out for me. In fact, it felt very like a one hit wonder from the off which is amazing to think now. If I recall, Pon de Replay was initially no.7 or something in the first midweek update? I seem to remember it climbing to no.2 in the next one and people being surprised as movement that abrupt midweek was pretty rare at the time.

Another cliffhanger of Terese telling Paul that there’s no coming back from this was giving me teas of

That’s not good enough though? Why spend time trying to court people who will NEVER vote for him? Even his comments today have been heavily criticised by the TERFs who aren’t content with their supposed ‘victory’. It was a LONG 5 years between general elections and it felt longer because this Labour shower kept courting right wingers. I was adamant I would vote Labour because we needed to get the Tories out and he kept making that so difficult. In the end, I couldn’t do it-partly down to comments he made about trans people just before the election and mainly because this Labour Party showed their colours when it comes to Wales. I didn’t vote for them in the end and I’m quite glad I don’t have it on my conscience. Apologies, I’ve been pretty angry about this all day. I haven’t forgotten how awful the Tories were and I can’t be having with reform. But this Labour Party was supposed to be about change and it feels like they’re just playing to the usual loudmouths. I remember ‘Kier has to say these things, he’ll become more liberal once he’s in’ and though some things they’ve done well, this hasn’t come into force.

I wish I could be shocked but this has pretty much been the Labour government I’ve come to expect. They’re so scared of loudmouths who will never be pleased by anything they do yet keep pandering to them. Instead of using the five years to make a difference, they’re too focused on the next election already. Anyone with an issue with trans people clearly doesn’t know a trans person. I’ve taught quite a few trans students and, quite honestly, the other students mostly don’t care and are supportive. Whenever you do hear anything, it’s usually something that’s been parroted from home. I remember one boy telling me he ‘didn’t agree with it’ in one breath and saying he was fully supportive of the trans girl in his class in the next. And they say it’s the teachers that are indoctrinating children…

Did you attend a Catholic school at a time a former Pope died? Going off your date of birth, probably when you were very young in primary school? I expect it would be a big deal in Catholic schools. I briefly attended one and one of my teachers had a shrine to Mother Theresa after she passed so I imaging the passing of the Pope would be a big deal. RIP to Pope Francis. I’m Catholic on paper but not practising but he always seemed very progressive and kind. He will be missed.

Surprised to see Complete leading, such a forgotten gem.

It was a lovely ending, particularly for Bianca whose been like a bit of a punching bag this past year. Gutted no Carol though. Rocky felt like a right downgrade tbh.

8 years!

Omg there has to be a brief Carol return tomorrow, there just has to be.
