"You always wanted a lover, I only wanted a job" remains one of the best openings to any short story ever told via the medium of pop music. Happy 70th birthday to one of the greatest English songwriters that has ever lived.

I find it's best not to look anymore. Denial. The odd thing is, is that I never liked myself much, and then I had a brief few years of thinking I was okay, now I'm back to the 'meh' 🙄

I'm sitting here thinking how responsible they were/are for my taste in fashion. Funny how stuff like that stays with you

I'm lucky enough that way, the only sibling I have left has a fair few things in common with me. We all did but I see it in other families. Must be a struggle for conversation. That's why I struggle with Ms family. Absolutely nada in common with them

Yeah, I used to make him headbang because he was so shit at it, for my own entertainment. My family were interesting, older brother goth, sister gothy and synthy and pop, I brought the rave in and my wee brother was the metal head

Yup. My wee brother was more of a GnR fan than me and there's something about that track that reminds me of him, in the best way possible

I had Gloria Estefan posters all over my room, still love her, amongst others. I think pop goes full circle in many ways, like the pop my dad listened to in the 60s, most of it I love. That said, I haven't listened to NKOTB since I was about 12...
