Wake Up Dead Man is a great film. A cracking array of characters and a brilliant mystery at the core of it. Well worth a watch

Quick, someone invent the "Object-Oriented Coffee"!

'Tis the season to be sneezing, apparently...

Given it's what he's been doing for over 20 years, it does feel quite cruel to the others to have a task that's basically "Make a weird short film" when Reece Shearsmith is taking part. #taskmaster

While I've traditionally been annoyed by those "Skeleton Spider" decorations you sometimes see around this time of year, I'm starting to think that the actual terror is the thought of a spider with an endoskeleton...

Finally, a game that lets you roleplay as middle management! #Pokemon

Let me tell you a story (before the ship explodes):

Idea for a novel: What if, instead of all the ills of the world, Pandora's Box contained all eels of the world...

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film: 1) snow 2) bearded men concealing surprises 3) compulsory party games 4) introverts shunning group activities 5) digestive issues 6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms 7) knitwear

You know, the bar in this theatre is the first time I've heard Pump Up The Jam without it being introduced by Philomena Cunk

That is a team task for the ages! Really enjoying the two teams this series #Taskmaster

Alien: Earth (N. Hawley and others, 2025)

Really looking forward to this. When it was first announced I only really knew Irwin Allen from Lost in Space but, as I said to @twilightstreets.bsky.social at Big Finish Day, the first one instantly sold me on the premise and I can't wait to hear what happens next!

Oh yeah, those are some funny competitors! #Taskmaster

Now I'm no genetic engineer, but I think giving a Capybara the spines of a Hedgehog would be a great idea

"Medium latte, please" "Want to upgrade to a large for 50p?" #IndianaJones #OrderOfGiants

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Quite early in this I thought "Oh, someone's getting a sympathy vote from me", but he was able to come back from some setbacks and even removing the way he was treated he ended up drafting the collection I'd most want...

I think one of the most cursed combinations of words I've seen this year has to be "Soggy Cravat"... #DonkeyKongBananza

We've all had days like it

Just got served what is possibly the least relatable ad ever on Reddit...

What do we think, a children's book or a guide to exception handling in Ruby?

Virus protection

Now I'm not saying I'm middle aged... But I've decided to experiment by doing my weekly shop on a Friday evening rather than Saturday morning and that is legitimately exciting to me!

Me, showing off a side project from like a decade ago to some friends (Oh, I do love a good editor like this)

Just seen "The Ballard of Wallis Island". Absolutely cracking comedy that had the whole cinema hooting throughout!

With this weather, I reckon if I cracked an egg onto my balcony it would be perfectly fried in time for lunch.

Animal Crocsing

Honestly, the next James Bond should be chosen in the same way people are selected for jury service. Just someone in the country gets a letter telling them to show up.

Inventor of the GIF, hearing about Notre Dame burning: oh no the jarjoyles

See, this is the sort of temperature I can deal with. Can it stay like this all day?

Has anyone considered having a word with the sun? Ask if it can tone it down a bit or something

@backpagepod.bsky.social, is this how Matthew Castle Productions ship the pick and mix?

God, Old Skies by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social is something else! That'll stick with me for a while. (Now to take advantage of the built in commentary. Always nice to see that as a feature)

Glad they cleared that one up...

Hello once again from the refrigerated produce section of my local wholesaler where I will be hiding behind the butter-like spreads until the sun extinguishes itself. If you see the Hairy Butter Man, no you didn’t

It's both warm and raining, not to mention what the trains were like, but I'm at @bigfinish.bsky.social Day and looking forward to everything on the schedule!

If there's one thing I always like on a busy train is a ticket inspector who threatens to charge people for an extra ticket if they are taking up a seat with their bags

british fan chat

I don't remember that Hitman level...

Me, watching the live task #Taskmaster

One of the great things about Mario Kart World is how realistic the depression in the Crab's eyes when you lose is...

Solve a crime or get your code into source control? Tough choice...

Nothing like being stuck on a train just outside Cardiff for 20 minutes to kick off the week

The weather outside is lovely, so I've spent my Sunday watching the new Wes Anderson film. His films remain almost impossible to classify in the best possible way.

Well, I went to look up the name of that bloke on the Apprentice that kept calling himself that and it turns out he died a decade ago. Although I assume Stuart Baggs was a rung up because he was the definitive article...

Today is clearly an excellent day to be a pigeon in the park

So glad that I've got this framed. A splendid @chrisnaylor.bsky.social original!

Thoughts on #Andor 1) Consistently excellent 2) K-2SO remains the best droid

Wow, those two have really changed their look...
