What I really liked about that from Elis is that he presumably followed his instinct that listening to people talking about going to the gym is actually really fucking boring to listen to. (Sorry John).

I did like how excited John got when he found out though

Not me crying reading John's latest Instagram post.

It takes a strong person to share those kinds of thoughts with not only another person in private but with the public, so many of us who adore him.

I so hope he continues to find the peace he deserves.

(and not because the sight of feet freak me out)

For ages, the lid of my Brita jug has been covered in limescale and water marks and I kept scrubbing to try and get it off, but no luck. What has finally worked? Two words.... white wine vinegar.

I can’t believe I’ve skipped over this thread because I thought it was for the Pussycat Dolls
I’m a Retro Oner and PCD. I’ve met Elis and he’s properly lovely. I got into their Radio X show in about 2015/2016 and it’s lush to see how far they’ve come.

Hey PCD’ers, I need a new kitchen… my current kitchen leaves me unmotivated to cook and as a result I might starve to death. If you’d be willing to donate even just £50 to my gofundme it’ll help me greatly. I hope it’s ok that I leave this link here, it’s just because we like the same podcast and this is such a positive space that I think you might be willing to help me. Love you guys and Elis, John and Dave

Aw the lads won at the podcast awards! The photos of Dave and Elis at the ceremony show are lovely.

The whole thing about go fund me and stuff is just too far. As you've all said, it starts off innocently enough and then becomes too much.

When the sports podcast Elis does had a tour, there would be people saying on twitter "oh I'd love to go but can't afford it" then other people would offer to buy tickets for them and stuff. Like, sweet of people to offer but I felt like it became a bit... maybe not expected but "oh maybe someone will feel sorry for me".

One of them in particular would comment similar when new merch was released and stuff too and it just made me uncomfortable.

I don't have twitter now either so not sure if they're still doing it, or if they're active on the PCD FB group but sadly, I wouldn't be surprised.

The thing is, show me anyone who isn’t having a tough time. My husband and I are doing IVF and all fun things have taken a back seat because we just can’t afford them. Would I liked to have seen John’s tour? Yes. But I recognised that right now I’m not in a position to spend. And I move on. I think it preys on a group of people who have bought into the “if you like E&J you must be good guys”.

(not setting up a gofundme for my IVF don’t worry )

Tonight I came out to my brother as queer. He…came out right back. He’s the first person I’ve ever said it to in person. I just had to tell someone. The tax new year affects us all in different ways, eh! How did you all celebrate?

 

[Gentlemensrelish]

I like Ivo episodes (I'm not taking umbrage at anyone's comments, I'm not an Ivo apologist) - I think it's a fun shift where Elis is forced to be the somewhat sensible one and Ivo is the silly sausage but Elis isn't particularly good at being the sensible one and a lovely air of chaos descends.

It's no Johnny JR but it fills a happy two hours. Drew Peacock chaos was Good Stuff.

Going to toot our own trumpet here but this thread is exactly what the FB group should be

 

[Phil I Buster]

Oh my goodness!! My people. I’ve found you on Tattle! How nice to have some good people to talk about amidst all the horrors we normally deal with.

Retro One-r far too many times over, live vibe chaser etc etc. Husband takes the piss out of the fact I refer to them as if I know them.

John’s post was beautiful. I always feel oddly proud of him and Elis (and Dave). I am hoping for nothing but good things for him.

 

[Gentlemensrelish]

I tried to join the PCDs the other day and the admin denied me entry so it's a bit fucking rich of them to sit in their little group complaining about not being able to join another little group.

I enjoyed the pod very much on the basis that it was exactly the same as the old pod and the great reset has had zero impact on my life. Also lovely to see Johnny JR looking so well.

 

[fishyfishfish]

Double posting like a twat but I cannot contain my anger any longer. On a daily basis I see posts in the PCD group asking what time John’s tour show starts/ends. Fuck me. How do these people function on a daily basis?

Anyway John’s one year sobriety post was bloody lovely yesterday wasn’t it.

 

[bizwizz89]

The PCD group on Facebook really has gone down the pan hasn’t it. Rejoined FB to get in touch with one of my cousins and someone has posted a photo of a phone booth which they deem smells of piss. Probably *relevant*. Anyway, who am I to judge. Potato.

I don’t mean to moan by the way - just find it all a bit ‘meta’ now and everyone just chucks what they want up there. A complete and utter minefield from when we all started the group x

I do mean to moan actually

Patty parliament: People who type simple questions into fb groups when the answer can be easily googled.

Punishment: they’re not allowed access to the internet for a month, and will have to rely on an encyclopaedia for any research. (Tattlers withstanding)

John’s taskmaster series begins Thursday 28th March

 

[fishyfishfish]

On topic: John is absolutely, definitely, without a shadow of a doubt shagging Lou Sanders, right?

I've had to take my calendar down because there's no more months and the sadness was real!

Teenagers are so lucky being able to have posters in their bedrooms of famous people they fancy and without judgement

All of us:

The Facebook group!

Did you not agree to ask a group of strangers on SM every time you have a health concern, a tax problem, a HR issue, or your car has broken down or how to open a can of beans (as far as I am aware this has never been asked but there is always time)?
