June 15, 1987: Pet Shop Boys released the single ''It's a Sin''.
'When we brought out “It’s a Sin,” it was quite interesting, because people took it really seriously; the song was intended as a camp joke and it wasn’t something I consciously took very seriously. The local parish priest in Newcastle delivered a sermon on it, and reflected on how the Church changed from the promise of a ghastly hell to the message of love.'' - Neil Tennant

Missed the Gutter!
Mark specifically said he did not want to have dessert for his 64th birthday. So obviously… I ignored that part.

Evening GutterPeeps,
Husband and I spent the last 5 days in the Tampa Bay, FL area.
Met up with old friend, went to some Tiki bars and visited a few museums(the James and Ringling). I will post more pics in the comments or not I don’t if it will work.
I had today off and went to a movie with my daughter we saw the iron lung. Really liked it a. Video game made into movie by a YouTuber(Markipiler). Well done for a lower budget. It is a psychological horror. FYI for those who want to know.
