This is Brenda and Linda. They were brought into the shelter together, and Brenda had no interest in being separated from her friend. She jumped the kennel wall to get to Linda, and made sure everyone knew they're a package deal. The best news? It worked: They were adopted together. 14/10 for both

Oh lawdy, Channel 5 have got a four-part mini series with Susan Kennedy from Neighbours, Danni Minogue and Kym Marsh The trailer looks soooo bad

As Picard and Dr. Crusher leave the cargo bay in “Symbiosis, you can see Denise Crosby waving goodbye. Filmed after “Skin of Evil”, but airing before, this was Crosby’s last filmed scene. I love that this was snuck in.

Chris Barker’s fantastic Sgt Pepper celebrity tribute montages are coming to an end, but you can bid for exclusive, signed prints of all ten years. Here’s how. www.thepoke.com/2025/12/09/c...

All I will say is that I knew - not very well, but well enough - Truss when we were fellow undergraduates. She has changed very little.

I predict a RW backlash against #twbtlats - so unfair on the water and oil companies - BBC wokery, etc...

Job interview

Robin Smith, bless him, judging a pack of racists needed to be silenced, from Derek Pringle’s obituary for the great England & Hampshire batsman. In an era when England struggled to win Tests, let alone Series, Smith was a fabulous player of frequently frighteningly fast bowling. I adored him.

Cor! I like this.

Ever the master of his craft, Rik Mayall switches effortlessly and hilariously from Alan B’Stard to Rick/Richie in this Comic Relief sketch. Brilliant.

Julian Trevelyan (British, 1910-1988). Cappadocia (oil on canvas). This primitivist painting really brings alive the surreal rock formations and underground caves of Cappadocia, Turkiyë. I was there in June this year.

Remembering Julee Cruise, born this day in 1956 who collaborated so memorably with Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch, including her single "Falling" in Twin Peaks.

Managed to get hold of a link for the motherload of archive TOTP episodes stretching back to the 60s. Currently spending my time queuing them up for downloading including the Mike Smith ones. Some are the unedited raw versions so plenty of Take 2s and extended 1980s dancing fade outs.

Beautiful sky and moon over Windrush Square, #brixton earlier today.
