Real England

it reminds of the real mini golf course that used to be in Rectory Park that had an honesty box and cans of pop on sale for 50p for when there was nobody there, god knows how that worked. The council stopped maintaining it 10 years ago and it's overgrown and strewn with dogshit now.

wow, sudden vivid flashback to the putting green at Pleck Park when i was little

The Jug of Tea place has been a staple of UK Martin Parr type Instagrammers and pre-Instagram bloggers and for about 20 years. I think the price was 99p when I first saw it.

The same old story. One minute it’s a minor tiff over who had the last custard cream, the next it’s global thermonuclear warfare, millions dead, and the rise of the machines as per the prophecy. https://t.co/a1LMTBZxdp

suggested duration < 1 hour

no i think you shd try and take longer than an hour to walk just 70 metres

I wanted to know more about Blyth fan John The Toaster. A (presumably drunk) @NiallBromley gave me some context:

"He plugs it in at random bars at away games and makes people toast.

"He's John The Toaster".

here i was hoping he had a bunch of slack rhymes

he once unplugged a bandit in York to make toast and when the barmaid complained he said “don’t worry I’m pat tested”

The property was previously owned by Ed Prynn, Arch Druid of Cornwall, the stones have been visited by many interested parties over the years. Seven Sisters is also renowned for its "Hall of Fame". Mr Prynn fixed slate placards to the wall in tribute to people who had a strong influence in his life.

The comments on that vid are fucking incredible

yes those are some Real England comments man.

My wife sings barbershop and the other day she had a charity concert at Milton Keynes. It was at a venue inaugurated by John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, and in the other room there was a Barron Knights concerts going on.

Rightly or wrongly, I thought of this thread.

for a split second I read the video title as 'Wimpy Goth Weekend' to truly unite #RealEngland

"They are all vaccinated and Liberals" is my fave so far

Looks more like a steampunk weekend to me.

amazing comments

burn the lot. scum

and

Most of them are posers I'm not a goth used to be a punk rocker grown up now.

current favorites.

ex-punk rocker otm tbh

Just scared the kids by showing them the window of the only shop in Hull I’m too scared to go into. Extremist’s paradise Grannie’s Parlour. pic.twitter.com/e8GEGCqEnT

That used to be a really beautiful shop to have a look in, don't remember the Nazi stuff back in the day

i did buy my dad an old Roy Rogers comic from there for his birthday once

the infamous "Roy Rogers endorses the Third Reich" issue

Ye gods, I can't watch the whole thing

Kind of hard to overestimate how popular Michael Barrymore was at the time, like Ant & Dec put together times ten.

Lol i saw barrymore's name and knew what the video was gonna be.

you can't beat a bit of amusing Fast Show character style verisimilitude! I felt like making a wisecrack the other day when a driver skidded on the ice and smashed into this total dickhead's car around the corner from my house, but I'd probably be in hospital rn if I had.

bcz i am a twat i have already spotted stuff i think is missing from this

this has had the blue tick journos frothing at the mouth in predictable but funny ways

I have also spotted missing nepos, particularly one person who is friends with a few UK ilxors.

the stand-out in-laws-growling-across-the-marmalade moment in all that is ferdie mount and pankaj mishra i think lol

it omits alex cockburn's marriage into the royal-adjacent aristocracy (to emma tennant) tho i guess as both are dead and his daughter daisy is not really "in media" this is forgiveable

basically i know way too much abt the cockburns
