Quentin falls asleep to Testcard if you want to buy a Quentinized Bubbles I have them on Ebay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38964066...

Me: “Just the one leek this week, please.” Tesco: “Will this one that was blocking the entrance to the tent at the county show do?”

Phew. That’s a relief.

Nice accidental composition of Miffy and information-laden ears on my desktop today.

Merrymas!

NEW QTV- Knicker Knock Box Tonight at 7'0clock! Tune in!

First up and wafting the sounds of the Incredible String Band around the kitchen in the manner of Jerry wafting the take-away curry smell around the house when Margo’s out.

TOND is here, and it’s put the Broken Vell podcast channel back in the top ten! Thanks to everyone who supports us on patreon.com/brokenveil and everyone who’s listened… especially if they’ve told a friend. It’s like The Ring. Right? You have to pass it on.

Coming to the Broken Veil channel. Tond: a ghost story for Christmas. patreon.com/brokenveil And wherever you get your podcasts. #BrokenVeil

I miss those old 1970s advent calendars with pictures of chocolates behind the windows.

Needle drop.

An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

Impressed that Jamie only needs one visit to the throne room during the festive period.

Been sitting here trying to work this meme out before realising it’s just two Facebook reels sat next to each other in my feed.

Apparently they’re sitting on some incendiary historical evidence about Panorama reporting fake news back in 1957. youtu.be/8scpGwbvxvI?...

*niche post alert* How many times have I seen this 1970s Public Information Film about polystyrene tile fires and not spotted the glaringly obvious 'Mr and Mrs Arnold Finney'/Arnolfini gag? Durr... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Eyd...

It’d be good if they kept stripping names and stuff away until he had no name at all. Nothing. And him ending up with a completely smooth face like the fella out of the old photographs in Sapphire and Steel.

Back to the brink... @radiotimes.bsky.social digs deep into the TV masterpiece that is Edge of Darkness, on its 40th anniversary, with rare photos and a special interview with actor Ian McNeice... www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/edg...

Just adding my name to the list of people who might want to see a biopic about singer/songwriter Paul Williams starring Toby Jones.

Baron Nathan, the celebrity dance teacher of the 1850s who danced the hornpipe blindfolded, surrounded by eggs. There's something SO malevolent about this image. It's powerfully frightening.

Quite like to see a team on Bargain Hunt blow their entire £300 budget, including big spend on three records from the antique shop's vinyl crates.

Argh! Mac OS Tahoe's push to round every corner that you see on screen includes the corners of PDF pages INSIDE its Preview app. And you can't turn the feature off. I know the document won't print with these little nibbles taken out of the edges, but still. Bit rubbish, innit? Back to Acrobat...

Morning!

Norma!

Experiment successful.

Just installed OS Tahoe. “Oh hai, AI.”

Lovely stuff.

We’ve sold out on Spotify! They’ll have to order some more stock.

Great log dragon o’ the wood.

One of Keats’s finest.

And when there’s a hosepipe ban? I guess this is nothing to do with the William Girling and King George’s reservoirs being just down the road, is it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How does this meme work again?

Would you ask a professional sports person the same question? Or even an enthusiastic amateur runner? If you hold down CMD and OPTION you can get it to do a cold scan. But I wouldn't. I cold scanned a comic page I was really proud of and it came out like this:

What is a desktop scanner doing while it's silently 'warming up' for the ten seconds or so after you haven't used it for a while? Is it bracing itself for the potential shock of a human arse or face being placed on the flatbed? "C'mon mate, you've got this. It's just a document. Not an arse..."

I love these 1970s royalty-free instant art books. Some familiar faces for those of a certain age…

“If you throw those uneaten gourmet meat sticks with a worming tablet hidden in them in the bin and replace them with normal cat biscuits, I will sniff the bowl, drop a single biscuit on the floor to make sure a pill doesn’t fall out and, if all tests are passed, only then will I commence my repas.”

"Let the children use it." From this day in 2019.

Was hoping it was an Action Man tied to a homemade handkerchief parachute.

No! Tony! (One for the kids)

This was my gateway into horror.

Perfect.
