I'm blocked by Shon so can't read her tweets, but someone posted this screenshot

Love this picture of Kate Moss in David Bowie's blue Life on Mars suit

The glorious Mr B you say?

Xenophile · 30/03/2018 21:05

Did someone mention the glorious Mr B?

Someone clever than me needs to do a meme showing that the Twitter bird logo is actually a cropped/ filtered/ edited picture of a randy budgie in a mirror

BirdyNews that is an excellent post!

hipsterfun that badge is awesome, we could be like a secret group with our own secret badges and some kind of silent gesture when we see each other out and about. Maybe a subtle peck like nod of the head. I'm in!

Hypermice · 30/03/2018 19:42

Oh thank you! I shall treasure it :)

I’m not keen on them in captivity tbh. Pet birds carry all sorts of nasty bacteria.

TerfsUp · 30/03/2018 19:37

Heh. Perhaps we can persuade MNHQ to create a budgie badgie. Grin

DarthArts · 30/03/2018 19:36

Even a video :-)

hipsterfun · 30/03/2018 19:28

A budgie badgie, just for you.

'I dont like...' Stupid bird brained autocorrect.

AngryAttackKittens · 30/03/2018 19:23

We had budgies when I was little! The blue one (female) was lovely, but the male one (yellow, actually a canary I believe) was a nasty little bugger that would hide in my toy shelf and then bite tiny me when my mum sent me to fetch him.

Feels like there's a metaphor in there somewhere.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 30/03/2018 19:22

I do think like budgies. They have nasty feet and beady eyes (and poo all over the place). And they cackle.

Hypermice · 30/03/2018 19:20

I’m so happy to have created budgie related imagery that amuses you all.

I feel I need a badge or something :)

"But I'm special! OK maybe eleventy billion rockers did it first, but with me it's different because I'm important!"

Peck peck, whinge whinge.

I dunno - maybe some of the problem with millennials is because wearing frocks etc is actually entirely acceptable even for blokes who are not young and beautiful nowadays.

Yeah, Pips Bunce is about as un-rock’n’roll as it gets.

MagneticMan · 30/03/2018 18:03

Apologies for the kilt/skirt confusion. I wasn't sure if it qualified as a kilt so went with the skirt description.

LangCleg · 30/03/2018 17:52

Gosh. Conversation still happening sans Shon's lordly permission. Hope it isn't interrupting anyone's lipstick applications too frequently. It's shocking how much women have to say (and how much they enjoy themselves) when they're not on Twitter being censored by various acolytes gaming the system, isn't it? And who knew? Some of it doesn't even concern Shon. Sacrilege!

TheGoldenBough · 30/03/2018 17:51

Vin is wearing a kilt - doesn't count as a frock (as 5 million Scots will tell you)!

He is, I know. But still not trousers and damn sexy!! Grin

I dunno - maybe some of the problem with millennials is because wearing frocks etc is actually entirely acceptable even for blokes who are not young and beautiful nowadays. I'm thinking of Grayson Perry in his 'mother of the bride' outfit getting his OBE. It's not cutting edge, it's Establishment approved.

*I meant '96 not '93

GoodyMog · 30/03/2018 17:36

I remember watching Babylon Zoo on Top of the Pops way back in 93 and I'm pretty sure that was where I discovered how much I loved GNC men.

I loved the boys I met through being a Placebo/Manics fan, so many gorgeous men wearing skirts and makeup and not giving a fuck. They were - often - less misogynistic too.
