Just want to say to any of my pals on here, or indeed on any social platform, that if you need to talk to someone my DM's are always open. I might not be able to help, but I can listen. Y'know?

Anyway - just wanted to say that.

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

My advice: don't.

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Thanks for your company everyone, thanks as ever to @matthewjrudd.bsky.social. Have a great week and we'll catch up next Sunday.

I'm off to listen to Radio Africa - they're cheering us all up with a 'Type O Negative' listening party, try and lighten the mood a bit.

Byeeee! #Forgotten80s

I'm shaking nothing down, Mr Kool, least of all my body. Far too old for that shite now. #forgotten80s

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Radio Africa is still better than the DB breakfast show

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Radio Africa sounds shit. I wouldn't listen to it. They need to play more music, rather than miserable news all the time. #forgotten80s

'Love is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)' is an absolute bop, and will be SOTN #forgotten80s

That's two fake doctors on here tonight. Jim Diamond didn't have a PhD, and Dr Beat is definitely fake #Forgotten80s

The women's England union squad will be in the running for that as well. They picked a bad year to win the treble.

Shame. :-D

Still haven't found that photo of Mrs C stood in front of a Brother Beyond poster. It's in the house somewhere, and it's getting posted on here when it does turn up. #forgotten80s

I'd be looking at Litten and Minchella at the very least. Maybe Burgess.

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

it'll take me until 11 to unclench my jaw...

but he has to be in the squad at least. Mind you, it's Wane as coach so he'll probably pick 13 Wigan players

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

He should be after yesterday.

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Apparently. Couldn't possibly comment.

If he does it in an England shirt, I might let him off.

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

oh, we call him far, far worse :-D

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Cock Robin?

Are you trolling me, @matthewjrudd.bsky.social ? #forgotten80s

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Is this Hull greatest band, Red Guitars? Surely not? #forgotten80s

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Sorry you're not keen on sleeping on your own, Ray - I can leave the landing light on if your scared of the wardrobe monster #forgotten80s

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 2d

Evening, folks, sorry I'm late. Have I missed anything good? #forgotten80s

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Actually, this Kemi Badenoch speech is perfect for social media users who miss shitposting along to Eurovision.

Happy birthday to your mum 🎂

I’m going to be a pedantic arse here-that’s a Llama, not an Alpaca.

Nice picture though. As you were :-)

The October 7th attacks by Hamas were horrific. Vile. A senseless loss of life. Israel have every right to hunt down Hamas terrorists.

What they don’t have the right to do is this. Horrific.

Two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza: By the numbers

Israel has killed or injured more than 10 percent of Gaza's population over the past 24 months.

If you need a new laptop and you're thinking 'is a MacBook Air a good choice?', all I can say is - my old Intel MBP needed charging after two hours, but the MBA is only down to 92% battery.

That's ridiculously good. Phenomenal, in fact.

Chris A Tye @chrisatyeart.co.uk · 9d

Damn fine show - back at work tomorrow after 2 weeks off so needed cheering up, and it didn't disappoint. Great work, @matthewjrudd.bsky.social.

Have a great week everyone, see you all here again next Sunday! #Forgotten80s
