Introducing popknowsbest: Culture Club - Karma Chameleon (Official Music Video)

As long as there is a fan club, about Boy George and British pop

I decided to express the pop paradigm here, by sharing some of the songs I grew up with, in a culture and setting that for me was and always has been oriented to Great Britain and English culture in general, with BBC and Super Channel being my daily compass. (Who remembers 'On the air?' a radio programme basically broadcasted on television). The Brirish charts were a kind of religion to me and listening to the radio 1 chart show on Sunday afternoons had become a kind of ritual for me, along with watching 'Top of the pops' on Thursday nights. Always with that one goal in mind, of ever making it to London, and finally be able to indulge myself in that culrure, that for me, was something evenbigger or more accessible than American popular culture. I spend most of my youth being closeted with bisexual and gay thoughts that would remain closeted until at a lame stage in life already, but that does not destroy my own inner personal and private persona, in which I indulged into the music of the Pet Shop Boys, Boy George, George Michael, Kylie Minogue and other acts that were somehow different and alternative to my own culture. 'Nervously'was grand, just after my first single, a 7", 'Better the Devi you knowl' had caused a love for everything UK that I followed with dedication from that moment on. Karna Chameleon by the Culrure Club and Boy George expresses more than any other song maybe, how we can be one person here and the next person there, all the while trying to keep it real, and be myself. Mostly the melody remains in your head and in your heart after a first listen. In magazines like Smash Hits and Number One I followed these stars that were more often than not one hit wonders but always stayed so quintessentially British. Boy Geirge I related to, as much as Freddy Mercury and George Michael,maybe especially because, much like the Sex Pistols, they represented a culture that showed an alternative and open mind to the somewhat narrow minded views of some mwmbers of my family and in my town. An Anglo Saxon escapism, so to say, with idols that would turn out to be an inspuration and guidance in decades to follow. Boy George I finaly met or saw face to face with during a concert around '13 in Tilburg abd after reading and hearing all about his phases of Buddhism, his sex scandals and his recently developed raw vegan cure for everything, I was more than curious to finally see him in concert and hear what he had to say, sing actualy. Because I think idols and stars are so very much needed for inspiration and guidance in life. And the older the wiser. Whatever is in store for that, for our children's generation and the generations after that, having to deal with blended and temporary personalities rather than a fan club.

The house was created in the 16th century.  The smallest house in             Great Britain measures 72 inches across, 122 inches high and 120 inches deep.  The house has a living area and bedroom.  It was last occupied in 1900 by a fisherman called Robert Jones.  Robert was 6ft 3″.  The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully.  He had to leave as the house was declared unfit for human habitation.

Hugh Abbot Dating Headcanons

Word Count: Roughly 766 words

Warnings: Swearing

Notes: Not my gif or my characters; just my stories. If you have feedback or requests then speak yo truth!! I’d love to hear what you think about the work 💖😤👏

image

-He's too old and been through too much to be beating around the bush and not have someone who can lay back and have some fun; especially in his line of work

-If there's one thing that Hugh wants someone he's getting with to have, it's wit and and the ability to lightheartedly josh around

-After the team was allowed to have another person to join the Minister’s team, you were the first choice by Tucker to get the job

-The fact that Malcolm could even like someone and think something nice about them baffled Hugh and his crew and instantly got their intrigue and respect 

-(especially Hugh though. The man never seemed to baffle him)

-He thought you might be a little bit like Tucker at first though, so he held off trying to get close and waited to get to know the real you

-Which he desperately wanted given you looked downright gorgeous and had the personality to match

---------------------------------------------------

-It wasn't until you stayed the night at the office with him and went out of your way to make him comfortable when talking and laying on the sets of couches together that he realized that he fancied you quite a lot

-And it wasn't until you both went for a pint at the pub after work that he made the first move and awkwardly admitted that he harboured deeper feelings for you

-Which, in turn, made you turn red and fumble with your words

-When you came around though, you admitted, with a large grin, that your feelings may mirror his

-Which made him break out in the most dopey and adorable smile you've seen in your life

-Despite his age, you loved that he was able to show you the ‘full of life and youthful’ part of himself that DoSac stifled so much

-”You are the most radiant person I have ever met my dear. I’m grateful that you were the one that Malcolm put on our doorstep. God knows how many other twats he could have given us.”

---------------------------------------------------

-To say that the dynamic at the office changed was relatively untrue though

-Although you loved being around him, you still had your jobs to do after all

-You both respected that given you didn’t want too many people learning about it (especially the damn press)

-But that didn't stop you from stealing kisses, lighthearted touches, yearning glances, and the occasional stop for small talk when you got a few seconds alone

-(Which honestly started to get on a lot of peoples nerves; Glenn and Ollie specifically)

-Glenn and Ollie have no idea how Hugh could land himself someone so fantastic, but they kept their mouth shut in fear of getting fired or receiving a disappointed glance from you

-Tucker was surprisingly okay with the new development in you guys' relationship and even joked about how Hugh may actually shape up and do his fucking job for once

---------------------------------------------------

-When the whole Julius situation was rampant and the 8:30 briefings cut happened, you were there to ease his troubles, offer a laugh, reveal info the group had decided to leave out, and boost his confidence

-You had a way of keeping the DoSac team afloat and out of trouble, which they highly appreciated

-The party they held to get Julius off their back even became a success because of your social skills

-Be it, you had to do most of the talking, but at least he was 'clicking' a tad bit better with people

---------------------------------------------------

-After a few dates, you both fell into a harmonic rhythm together and even ended up learning the weirdest of each others routines just so you could strengthen your relationship

-You hold hands so often and in the weirdest situations that it honestly just makes people laugh

-Rather than getting just calls related to work and trying to bail him out of a situation, he calls you up when you’re away to see how you are

-Your kisses are soft, drawn out, and involve him wrapping both arms around yours so that you’re snuggled as close as you can be to him

-Although he can hold an intellectual conversation, he loves that you two can talk about the stupidest and seemingly meaningless aspects of life and still have it be interesting

-On quiet nights, when you actually get time to relax and fully enjoy each others company, you wrap yourselves in blankets and watch old reruns of tv shows or have Hugh read you both stories

-He is so dedicated to you that even when the press find out, they can’t do much of a story on it. You guys are too wholesome to have a scandal

-Overall, you both are very wholesome and just trying your best to get by!!
