Fat Roland

Oh pants, sorry that your liver is rebelling. I went for a blood test on Monday and they brought out FOUR syringes. Crikes.

The care emoji as used extensively on Facebook: yellow smily face hugging a red heart and looking whimsical

A photoshopped version of the care emoji where the hugged heart is pink like a bum and it's farting into the yellow emoji's startled face

Every time I see the care emoji, I think of this.

Just Hanging Out (Reprise), by Nondi_ from the album Nondi...

▶️ Nondi_: Just Hanging Out (Reprise). Tatiana Triplin gives us two-step with added synth nostalgia and anti-corporate sentiments. One of the brighter tracks from her seriously smoky Nondi... album, out last week on Planet Mu. nondi.bandcamp.com/track/just-h...

TOMORA - SOMEWHERE ELSE YouTube video by TOMORAVEVO

This track by Aurora and Tom from the Chemical Brothers premieres on YouTube tomorrow. I've got it on repeat. It's catchy, it's euphoric and it wobbles like Mrs Overall's soups. youtu.be/EA-OXmappUk?...

May the spirit of Bez be with you.

You strike me as a man who spends a lot of time around mulch.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Mark Benton being Mark Benton? Thank you.

I was working last night so I'm going to watch the Brits today. I presume Bjork was the best bit?

Well I got Geese and Sault right. Maybe I'm only good at guessing names of things that you could easily throw over your shoulder.

✍️ Brand new blog post! Here are my hot tips for the 2026 Brit Awards and if I'm wrong, I'm moving to Mars fatroland.blogspot.com/2026/02/here...

Books loosely propped on a shelf, including titles by David Gemmell, Gary Braver and the loud-mouthed DJ Chris Moyles

Shocked that I still owned it, I gave the worst book ever to my local donate-and-take library. Months later, it's still there, festering. I think you can guess which one.

The melodrama, the exasperation, the daftness. One of my favourite accounts

Sorry, haven't got my reading glasses on

Well done, Gorton & Denton. You chose hope over hate, and I don't have to annex you. PS - if anyone would like to buy 160,000 unneeded bricks, let me know.

Nice work, the Brit Awards. I would also like to see:

Manchester Victori-Amos
Manchester Pica-J-Dilla-y
Salfboards-Of-Canada Central
Manchester Oxbow-Lakes-By-The-Orb-ford Road
St Werburgh's Road (it's a rock 'n' roll tram stop so doesn't need a pun)

Come on, Gorton & Denton, don't let the racists win. And if you do, we're annexing you by building a big wall in Reddish.

Karl Hyde, man of stripes.

I actually thought for a moment you were referencing Dude Where's My Car.

THAT'S who that guy is. Like, maaan.

I couldn't see: too much puddle in my eyes. I saw an "M". The rest was a soggy blur.

As a result, I now hate all Ms.

Your absence is noted 😭😭😭

Happy to be the first subject in an Alexei Sayle cloning programme.

Genuinely, my first thought as I posted this was 'I bet Fil's laughing at this'. Or more accurately, 'I bet that damn Fil's laughing at this, why I oughtta [fist shake]".

😡 Got deliberately puddled by a driver this morning. I'm soaked. If someone could report them - the registration number is M-something something something something.

She wasn't just handsy - she was booby and facey and everything-y. In her defence, which is very much not a defence, she was absolutely trollied.

Shout out to the woman at Sankeys who accosted me on the dancefloor to tell me everything was rubbish then, after climbing all over me, tried to invade the DJ booth to stop the entire night. I asked Jordan Peak to keep an eye on her and things turned out fine.

I can't BELIEVE Paddington Bear's bad language at the Baftas. Rutting on the red carpet was bad enough, I mean jeez.
