Your reminder that in Hot Fuzz a bloke was blown up for less than this.

Thoughts and prayers for @darthputinkgb.bsky.social's phone battery at this busy time. 🙏

Can't wait to see who's on the shortlist for the FIFA Kidnapping Prize.

2025 wasn't a great year for games for me - life busy - but I'm still a bit shocked how few of these I've even heard of, nevermind played www.eurogamer.net/the-50-best-...

An image that I'd not seen before, from the wonderful eye of David McLellan.

Why in scifi are the military always completely useless?

A very happy New Year to everyone at the theatre this afternoon, except the latecoming woman directly in front of me who I had to ask to put her phone away.

The Shard. Still quite tall. #ArchitecturalInsights

This scale model of #HMSBelfast is so accurate that it even includes a tiny scale model of me and my son looking at an even tinier scale model of HMS Belfast in one of her portside compartments on 3 Deck. #HMSBelfastSquared #Modelception #histscalemodels

HMS Belfast? More like HMS Badass. Entertaining Kikuchi Jr before a trip to the theatre.

Apparently America roars in its sleep. Laughable nonsense.

I have some great Resolutions for the New Year:

Ah, I see Lawrence of Arabia is on telly from now until Easter.

Ah yes, Zulu, that classic film about the Battle of Woke's Drift...

For the purposes of entertaining small children 6pm has been redesignated as midnight. 🎆🎇 #NewYearsEve #Hello2026

Fuck me I'm Field Marshal Montgomery.

Was trying to occupy the child for an hour or so at Duxford earlier and took this photo of the Catalina flying boat, which now feels a bit indecent. #AvGeek

Well done to my colleagues. #HMSBelfast HMS Belfast visitor finds family link to the ship - BBC News share.google/U5heuy2T6HsE...

In 2006 I was working at Harrods when Lisa Kudrow walked through my department. She didn't buy anything.

This crossed my line again, so it's either: * Sold a dubious book about the Nazis to the actor Christopher Lee * Rubbed shoulders with Tom Hanks after we got off the same train at King's Cross * Interviewed actress Virginia McKenna about a film role she had played 60 years earlier.

Reminded that for a time in the 80s and 90s the Humber Bridge was a pub quiz answer to the question 'What's the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world?'

THE TITANIC WAS TRYING TO SURRENDER TO THE ICEBERG.

On the 11th day of fossils, my true love gave to me... 11 Cambrian fossils from the Great Basin. The Great Basin is a large area of Utah and Nevada that was under water 500 million years ago. Life was experimenting and there's lots of strange creatures found here. 1/x #12DaysofFossils

First paper hit the living room floor at 07:13 this morning.

Confronted by this I'm reminded of a Frankie Boyle joke: There is a vegetarian option. You can fuck off.

props to this christmas lad I’ve just spotted on @flightradar24.com

Presumably when HM The King watches it's called One'sPlayer.

Thank you for your skeet. I'm out of office at the moment with a colossal food coma. I will endeavour to respond after the King's Speech.

Do you expect me to talk? No, Tiny Tim, I expect you to die!

At least when the Three Wise Men rocked up in Nazareth Joseph didn't have to spend his morning assembling the gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Post quality may decline a bit for a while. Been hypnotised by my son's Scalextric. 🎄🚗

No fucking shit lady do I sound like I'm ordering a pizza?! 🍕 #DieHard

And tiny Tim, who did not die, now has a machine gun. Ho ho ho.

You and me both, antique carriage. You and me both.

Surprised to see this pop up - my childhood parish church, and quite a remarkable modernist building.

When the playlist is called 'Carols from the Choir of King's College Cambridge' but should really be called 'Non-stop Bangers'. 🎄

Wondering if anyone's made Die A Wonderful Hard Life, in which suicidal John McClane, cop of smalltown Nakatomi Falls, guided by angel Sergeant Al Powell, has a vision or what life would be like if he fails to foil a bank robbery by Hans Potter and his gang of Euro henchmen. Ho ho ho. 🎄🎬
