@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialWhat a list! You must have been in Newcastle all the time?
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialAgreed - it's fantastic (though the recent film spin off was rather lacklustre.)
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialHalfway up on the right, if memory serves!
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialCraster kippers on the high street is my Berwick recommendation.
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialMale Online is perfect. It should be mandatory teaching in schools. And Reform conferences. (cc @barneyfarmer.bsky.social)
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialI've just found all the copies I bought in 1987/1988, when it was only just transitioning from a pub fanzine for drunk Geordies to a WH Smith title. That and my Chubby Brown bootlegs tapes were 12 year old me's main entertainment. One of these things has dated less well.

@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialI'm thinking of pebble-dashing my car.
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialCometh the hour, cometh the man-child...
JESUS CHRIST KINSKI comes out in special 'flammable paperback' on November 5 2026 via @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social
Also comes with a right racket of a playlist - entirely free (!!)
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialThis is going on the playlist I put together exactly for such occasions.

@telerama.bsky.socialReposted by @benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialLe livre d’Adelle Stripe, paru en 2017 en Grande-Bretagne, retrace le parcours de cette jeune femme issue du mouvement ouvrier, propulsée très tôt dans le monde du théâtre. Il vient de paraître en français.

@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialThis is my Sunday so far!
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialThe sixth of Scarborough's seven funicular(s) (funicali?) has ground to a halt. How the hell is eg. a deranged writer meant to get back up the hill from, say, the beach in the dark now? Just for example.
@benjaminmyers76.bsky.socialAmazing.
