Is a horoscope something that affects your life?
This week i had the alien-shaped [in his avatar pic at least] beautifully named Fungus the Bogeyman aka @bigstevie1967 join me as co-host to see… and what fun we had…
My co-host this week was
@bigstevie1967 aka Fungus the Bogeyman, the name of a well known Raymond Briggs character – whereas Stevie is just a character ! He’s a total sports nut with a primary interest in football (that’s soccer for the North Americans !) and also a true Scot with a passion for irreverent humour and 80s music . And given his F.L.O.P. appearances have usually been under the “misdirection” banner, I am not sure any of this is true !
We invited you to get creative with fake but realistic sounding and strangely accurate horoscope entries and once again it was an 18 minute or so trender…
@AFrikkinHashtag the 1st mention of #StrangelyAccurateHoroscope appears on your TL. Now is Trending Topic in United States! #trndnl

i couldn’t resist having a go at my on-again off-again nemesis:
Today people will see behind the mask you wear to the real you behind it. #StrangelyAccurateHoroscope @KeshaTedder
[With the “on-again off-again” bit obviously referring to the Jar Jar Binks suit she insists on wearing out]
And recent Adam Sandler movies continue to be the go-to-dig because, you know, recent Adam Sandler movies:
