Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing Under Pressure. So much going on here! Everyone's outfit, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael watching in the background. The amazing voices! It's incredible! No notes ❤️

Hello, let's get this out in the open. Brianna Ghey was murdered in my hometown. Targeted senselessly because of who she was, and monsters viewed her less than human, and others evil rhetoric helped enable that. If you need to terf or be transphobic, I have zero time for you.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Cheryl Baker covering Muscles by Diana Ross with her backing band of... *checks notes* Frank Carson, Nicky Campbell, Dave Lee Travis, some bodybuilders, Don Estelle and Jim Bowen from Bullseye on trumpet. Fair enough.

RIP Terry Funk. In 2013, Terry was in the UK, our crew used to make surreal skits with wrestlers. We got Terry (and Rikishi) to parody 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. Yep, we cast Terry Funk as Indiana Jones! It's a 90 second skit. Enjoy. So long, Funker ❤️

Spare a thought for Sindy. Very much the WCW of dolls to UK audiences. The venn diagram for this joke is ridiculously niche.

@TheFreds @SlothenKing I think defibrillators on the street is good lads, it can be extremely sudden and could save a life. Now if you had a fire hose on every corner I'd be more worried.

@SenseiCarl_ The fallout is so surreal from this that I feel like we're all now living in an extra episode of it and we're all extras in it Show done, internet stalks her, people out the wrong 'Darrien', ends with Piers Morgan interviewing an ill woman whilst we all watch amazed. Madness!

1985. Year of the charity supergroup! A thread nobody wanted, by someone with far too much time I ❤️ supergroups, they hit my cheese-o-meter in the sweet spot, so I did a DEEP DIVE Strap in for a journey around the world and round the bend of charity records in one year! 🧵🔽

Appalling absurd wrestling fact 🔽 80's WWF jobber Mark Young used a piece of stock music called 'Touch of Evil' in his short WWF 1989 run. Anyway, it was done by Chris Tsangarides who used the demo riff to later produce 'A Touch of Evil' for Judas Priest.

Columbo was on TV for so long that its timeline is brilliant. The first episode has him solving the murder of a young man still old enough to be from the Silent Generation. By the last episode he's wearing a feather boa and solving a murder at an underground rave. Wonderful!

@andrewmcb Yeah the next part of that clip is her being told straight that it's not right. It's not nice language but it's not endorsing use of it. There was terrible language used to describe Hayley Cropper when she turned up but there was a point behind it all that it's myopic views.

@jackbern23 It's superb. I remember watching the Series 4 finale both dying laughing at some of stunning lines, but legitimately anxious because it was all going to go fantastically to shit and not sure how. Once you get to them hiding upstairs in the church it's just acceleration.

Never dealt much with TERF's on here, or as they'd prefer to be known Transphobes (I've been made aware from one that TERF is a bit mean, so I don't wish to offend). However, they are absolutely entitled to their opinion, no matter how incorrect they are ❤️

10 years ago me and my friends used to make comedy skits with pro wrestlers. This was a favourite 🔽 Power Rangers parody ft. Awesome Kong, Kevin Owens, Apollo Crews, Danny Hope, SoCal Val & Jushin Liger Yep. Made Jushin Liger a MEGAZORD!

I still maintain that the best thing ever in TNA was @RealKevinNash and @fakekinkade and the Paparazzi Productions skits. Genuinely brilliant comedy in wrestling. Nash & Shelley absolutely nail the nuance that most skits in wrestling miss completely.

What I love about The Smiths artwork is that it's a mix of filtered images of cult actors or British pop culture icons. Which means it's fun to make your own.

Is there an artist both successful in a band and solo with a bigger gulf of liability between their work than Sting? I love The Police but his solo stuff is mostly cack. 'Fields of Gold' is the kind of song that gets played at a funeral when the departed requested none.
