Listening to this hour or so of pure joy on the way home from work yesterday was the highlight of my week.

if stevemarsh wasn't already my favourite travel youtube channel, it would definitely be now that they've done Wicker Man locations video @scarredforlife.bsky.social @bobfischer.bsky.social would probably enjoy this youtu.be/5iziRTO-zX4?...

Tomorrow: Kim and Em Vs EVIL launches! I've teamed up with horror actress and presenter Emily Booth for a podcast in which we talk about screen villains. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

In one episode of the second series of Stuff, the first five minutes consisted of what appeared to be an episode of Juliet Bravo, and really the only initial clue is that Juliet Bravo was never on BBC2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHmX...

Some photos from tonight's great Luke Haines Peter Buck @theeminus5.bsky.social show in Manchester

Apparently it’s 10 years today since I discovered that adding googly eyes to the tap on a wine box makes it look like Shaun the Sheep.

"Mother Mary meek and mild got lost at Farmageddon, toe-to-toe with Pennywise, she kicked his fuzzy head in singing horror clowns are dickheads, you know it's true and if you've got a phobia of them you're a dickhead too" #hmhb

This one from Slade In Flame was easily good enough to have been at least nominated for best original song Oscar. I love this tune youtu.be/uPQtluL-hys?...

I'd have made a great Muppet

it has to be said that of the muppets that chat gpt turned the Young Fresh Fellows into, the Scott puppet @theeminus5.bsky.social turned out very nicely

"A History of Funk Music and Black Liberation of the 1970s" is such a great documentary from @pbs.org I feel that there was enough stories covered that they could have delved even deeper into and made it into an epic series. It's well worth 80 minutes or so of your time youtu.be/QrgV35cBHVs?...

Listening to the Joel Dommett episode of @maxrushden.bsky.social and @phlaimeaux.bsky.social 'sWhat Did You Do Yesterday? brought back memories of the best part of my ten day Norway holiday last year. I could have watched this all day

At the big game in the Cymru North. It's a sunny day and a big crowd have turned out for Colwyn's last home game of the season @colwynbayfc.bsky.social vs Llandudnno

I'm watching this hilarious but scary show in my local cinema in New Brighton right now(it's the interval) and absolutely loving. Well done to @aiannucci.bsky.social and everybody involved in such a superb production

Just spent the evening watching Inside No.9 Stage/Fright. Congrstulations to @reece-shearsmith.bsky.social , @sjpemberton.bsky.social & cast on putting on such a great show with lots of laughs & jump scares. I'd say more but I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise for anyone who hasn't seen it yet

If you get hit for six and your dad catches the ball in the crowd, the batsmen should be out. It's only fair.

The true spirit of christmas

1/2 waiting for a bus into town from Tromsø's stadium I was fascinated watching the digger at work. If I could drive this could be my dream job

If you love football shirts and the northern lights then Tromsø's 2024 away shirt is the one for you #classicfootballshirts
