Theo Walcott’s beard shape on Sky today giving strong ‘shit street magician’ energy.

Nearly missed the opportunity to wish the Scots I know a Happy St Andrews Day

May I present the Traditional Festive Macca of 2025! It's Wings Macca - complete with mullet and wintery jumper! An image captured by Michael Putland in 1973.

FUN FACT*: In South Africa, Beavis and Butt-Head are known as... (*Fact not guaranteed #INDvSA)

I’ve had quite a productive day today doing work I’m actually supposed to be doing and I’m not sure I like the feeling.

Peter Crouch once again in his Movember cosplay I see.

Usual jazz pick for a Sunday. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=THmG...

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary: His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

I’ve been in some ineffective work meetings in my time, but those little gatherings the Chinese Women’s football team had after each goal in their 8-0 defeat against England are definitely up there.

Phil Foden a real cautionary warning for anybody repeatedly shaving their head and then wanting to grow their hair out again.

Absolute madness. This season #SAFC

I feel like this was a comment that it would be hard to make clearer.

Inevitable episode where Troughton’s four girlfriends meet with hilarious consequences.

Just arrived at the Your Party Conference. Buzzing.

#PeterSallis guest stars in MAIGRET (1962) tonight at 7pm #TPTVsubtitles

Probably my favourite Michael Caine film* and of course I’ve seen all of them. *having a different favourite is obviously valid unless it’s Blame It On Rio, Bewitched or similar nonsense.

Fascinated by 1976 Crystal Palace sending a left footer and a right footer to take corners so you don’t know which one might take it meaning while Peter Taylor took both shown the other fella just stood off the pitch and watched.

Normalise 26 year old goalkeepers looking like this again.

If there was a channel that just showed old episodes of The Big Match and Match of the Day from last century on a loop I would probably never leave the house again.

Normalise football managers looking like Chelsea’s Eddie McCreadie again.

Nice to see the 1976 Roger Moore/Lee Marvin movie Shout at the Devil getting an advertising board at Stamford Bridge with no context beyond the title.

The Big Match Revisited delivering as always with a collision in the first minute that would have seen both players locked up on a Saturday night in town and some of the least reassuring stretcher bearers ever seen sprinting on.

I’ll go with this smooth classic for my pick on this rainy, dark Saturday morning. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wha-...

A modern take on a retro sound for my pick today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=4zK5...

Pick for today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=kkjg...

You'll be visited by three spirits. The three spirits:

Another vibe shift for my pick today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=BuRy...

I know a lot of people still like to wait until December, but I’m watching a Morecambe & Wise Christmas compilation show on BBCFour so I guess it’s officially Christmas whether you like it or not.

Making the obvious move from The Maccabees to The Andrews Sisters for my pick today. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=fQin...

Day 50 of #TheTwen2ie5 Closing up with some real energy and attitude. Thanks all and particularly Arron obviously. Olivia Rodrigo - bad idea right? (2023) m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj9q...

Everton having a man sent off for slapping his own teammate and then them still managing to beat United at Old Trafford?

Pick for today #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kt3...

Day 49 of #TheTwen2ie5 My favourite of their early filth classics (the other is in my HMs). Wet Leg - Wet Dream (2022) m.youtube.com/watch?v=tjpg...

Current mood

Happy Doctor Who Day, with the incomprehensible blurb from the Target novelisation of Arc of Infinity

Just had a spontaneous The Five Doctors watchalong with the Covideo gang. Still possibly my ultimate comfort watch although City of Death is now staring at me with that expression from the distracted boyfriend meme.

Today is Doctor Who Day, which honours the day that Doctor Who premiered on the BBC in 1963. The TARDIS, The Doctor and many other aspects of the show are thanks to its co-creator, Sydney Newman of Toronto. This is his story. 🧵 1/12

New Knives Out is on in time for Christmas!

Happy Doctor Who Day everybody. Just remembered I did this for the 60th as one of my very first BlueSky posts. A mixture of silly and earnest things I love about the show. I guess I could have added another three to get it up to date, but I can’t be bothered.

One of those goals from Morgan Rogers that reminds you that professional footballers are really good at kicking footballs, but you can’t say that out loud because you sound like a moron.

I’m sorry, but Extra Large Pork Pie is just getting a bit too commercial for me these days.

On Doctor Who Day, let’s have your favourite Earth-2 Doctor.

Happy Doctor Who day! To celebrate here is the greatest of Doctor Who images: Verity Lambert using a Mechanoid as a lighter.

It’s Doctor Who Day so why not enjoy @johnhiggs.bsky.social talking about CLASSIC WHO! pod.link/1614879928/e...

Usual Sunday jazz pick. #ASongADay m.youtube.com/watch?v=VKID...

Day 48 of #TheTwen2ie5 Third and final entry in my 50 from Dua. This could easily have been a bonus scorer as well. Dua Lipa - Levitating (2000) m.youtube.com/watch?v=OsfA...

Last time I saw 90 minutes solid of Kim Wilde I was a student avoiding lectures by watching a double bill of Garden Invaders.
