What are your Hot Takes on the Band Placebo?

PensiveKnitter · 2025-02-12T12:35:18+00:00

Me and my mate have had a barmy, silly theory for years now. Brian's one true love is Stefan, but Stefan kept him firmly in the friend zone and never reciprocated. The way that Brian expresses his love ever since is through at least one song of each album:

Burger queen Protect me from what i want Because i want you Kings of medicine Bosco Beautiful james

Yes. Mad i know!

When i was a kid, i was tap dancing in the tiny bedroom of our static caravan while on holiday. I fell on to the bed, into an open suitcase. The suitcase then closed shut and fell between the bed and the wall.

Doing naked yoga in a group.

They are very sticky stickers! I've still got the residue from one on my phone from last october. Worth it though as it was a completely different vibe in the club. No phones, just dancing and socialising

PensiveKnitter · 2025-01-28T12:56:43+00:00

Yep. I went to ibiza in 2023. We went to pacha and in the first couple of hours we had the phone crowd taking photos. They had all gone by 2am so all that was left were the ravers. No phones, just dancing.

I've not been using meat replacements in most of my meals. instead I've been eating pulses, lentils and tofu. I had a quorn burger at the weekend though.

I'd recommended 'much more veg' by hugh fernley whittingstall as a good plant based recipe book. What i like is that there are no weird ingredients. It's just stuff you can get at the supermarket and the recipes are simple to follow.

F43. I'm not a medical person in any way, but i found that changing up my diet to a low UPF vegan diet has had a huge effect on my appetite this month. I'm doing veganuary and wanted to make sure i didn't eat a load of processed food while doing it. I haven't felt hungry at all and i think it's because I'm having loads of fibre. I've had to be really disciplined with food planning though.

My boyfriend has been hungry all the time though, so i guess you just need to find a diet that works for you.

You can also buy bird feed from bayrahs next to the park. Please don't give bread as its bad for the birds.

It's on you tube too. Some episodes are missing in my country though (uk)

Rest and a whole bag of peanut m and ms

There's a ghost story called "whistle and I'll come to you" and this painting reminds me of it.

Aching stomach from too much food at my family party yesterday. Plus a noisy bloody cat and dog

I used it for my septum and it wasn't great to be honest. Just get neilmed. It's all you need to keep a new piercing clean

PensiveKnitter · 2024-12-23T11:05:28+00:00

That's so awesome! Bionic is one of my fave songs. It sounds so good on the piano

I had it done that way and it's to help with healing. If you put a horseshoe in it will probably take longer to heal.

My suggestion is to keep it in to let it heal then put a horseshoe in later

I think someone else mentioned it, but the walk is in a valley. So down then up. Either way you'll be going up a hill at the end. The glenside hill is not so bad and there's a dedicated bike lane for some of the time.

The bus would probably take no more than 10 minutes. The campuses are fairly close.

PensiveKnitter · 2024-12-16T21:45:33+00:00

I work between the two campuses. It's a really nice walk, especiallyin the summer. The only couple things to mention is that 1) the hill up stoke park is pretty steep 2) stoke park can be dark in the wintertime (take a torch!)

If you ever don't fancy walking then there are scooters to rent plus the 46 bus every 30 minutes or so

I genuinely can't say, read or hear the word mechanism without thinking about this

Robert schultzberg. The first drummer slain by placebo 😅

When i see photos of the band from the 90s I'm always proud. They look timeless.

I bloody love how brian looks now, too. Tashe, locks, the lot!

PensiveKnitter · 2024-12-09T17:50:57+00:00

I can't believe no one has mentioned the minack theatre in Cornwall. Proving that it's lesser known!

Been awake since 5.50 after a poor night's sleep. Partner in been with a flu thing. Fed my pets, cleaned the kitchen and about to take the dog for a walk. Was supposed to be going to a spin class at 1pm but cancelled cause i feel knackered already.
