Watching some rubbish talking heads programme on channel 5, best 80s TV or something, but they’ve clearly auto-processed, AI style, a lot of the clips they’re showing. Brideshead and Inspector Morse, smooth pink balloons all.

Finally roused myself to get a haircut. Can’t share picture as too dangerously handsome and may cause faintings.

I shall be watching some Wodehouse Playhouse tomorrow.

Early morning post nightmare wake up NO THANK YOU

Apparently I'm "On A Roll"

Pleased to see my finest moment - the "Hot Ladder" post is still getting the occasional like.

Paying tribute to the best lizard ever on this, Godzilla Day, by watching Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster. *skwraaaaaaark!*

A Man For All Neasdens

This was one of my picks on my last @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social appearance. I read and re-read this many times as a kid. It's baffling, but quite a lot of fun really. Not sure if the Andrex puppy was capable of granting use of their image rights. That's for Dog Solicitors to decide.

Paul Abbott (@pablovich.bsky.social) joins me for a chat about Disneytime Rotadraw, Fun And Games With The Andrex Puppy, Breaking All The Rules, Tomorrow’s World on Magic Eye, Kirky The HD Hunter, Frog Dreaming, Waddingtons’ The Vampire Game and more... timworthington.org/2024/07/20/l...

Double Fiddles On The Stage with Fairport Convention tonight in Liverpool.

If anyone’s still looking for fun spooky films, DEAD TALENTS SOCIETY, the Taiwanese ghost comedy is on Netflix and it’s absolutely wonderful.

Weird to see this post at the exact moment I’m reading the credits to Macca’s Press To Play and the name Kate Robbins is right in front of me.

Listening to Paul McCartney’s Press To Play in the manner god intended* *on a cheap used LP, via a Bluetooth transmitter to a mono remote speaker in the kitchen

[Peter and Gordon voices] I don't care what they say, I won't stay, In a world without caramelised red onion chutney.

We don't do Halloween specials (though there's some macabre stuff coming up in the next ep!) so why not listen to this now 5 year old episode of Paul's novelty song podcast all about Spooky stuff, with special guest @benbaker.bsky.social off of @alfsplaining.bsky.social plinkhq.com/i/1516546969...

I love Quincy. I love Klugman.

FAB

Ordered a 'new' phone from BackMarket. They sent me the wrong thing. I returned it immediately the next day. Now I'm told it's missing, although had been collected and _partly_ shipped by DHL, but *I'm* being asked to use an identity verification system and provide a bill with my address on? HMMM.

I might try being more winsome. Let's all try it.

@mychameleondays.bsky.social is there a German word or phrase that's equivalent to the sort of spoken 'shrug' that is "Never mind" or "Oh Well"?

And again. This time with added tinnitus. Exhausting.

LEGO Disney Frozen Operation Puffins …sounds like a phrase you might be asked to memorise and recall in cases of head trauma, but is apparently actually something you can watch on Disney+.

New "Stay fresh, Cheese bags" just dropped. (although "Light Up, Musical Doorbell" feels like it needs to be said by a Cockney Taxi Driver)

I would kindly ask my brain and body to stop making me feel dizzy every few days, because it's making me entirely miserable. (yes, I have been to the doctor before you tell me to)

Today was a “watch The Towering Inferno” sort of day, so I did.

but I love him

An already splendid evening out at a gig was made even better by getting to be part of a small crowd singalong of A Day In The Life with the marvellous Robyn Hitchcock.

didn't get enough sleep last night and now i'm crying laughing over this

I've just got a bluetooth transmitter for my hi-fi set-up, so I can listen to m'records when I'm not in the room. Paired up a JBL Charge speaker, which sounds fab, but I did choose to test it with a 78rpm Shellac 10" disc from Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe from 1931.

Going to get into the inspirational quotes business, seen as they're so popular on social media. Here's one for you to print out and keep in your workplace, sauna or library.

New TARDIS design just leaked

My urge not to contribute to the developing tetchiness of social media prevents me from replying to the pedants that seem to be turning up more often on here, but flipping heck, it takes some restraint.

must not reply to pedants on social media must not reply to pedants on social media must not reply to pedants on social media must not reply to pedants on social media must not reply to pedants on social media must not reply to pedants on social media (repeat until heat death of universe)

I sent this to my mum and she informs me that this is the church where my Auntie and Uncle got married. Apparently in their photo he's stood in front of a pillar and it makes him look like he's got a top hat on.

Me in a pub. Good.

That 'Two Characters Who Bring You Happiness' post... how has no-one I follow posted Charters and Caldicott yet?

Illustrative newspaper extracts for this episode. Note especially: CHUBBY CHECKER - CHROMAKEY INNOVATOR!

Mmmm, crisps

Don't forget there's not long to vote on Noisebox Radio's TOP 500 VERSIONS OF MONSTER MASH. Hear all 500 on top of each other at the same time this Halloween!

I was worrying for ages about why I was waking up with a horrible yellow tongue. What could this new malady be? What terrible disease am I harbouring? Readers, it was because I drink a cup of black tea in the morning.

Stop having unhinged opinions. Please ensure your opinions are fully hinged. Then leave them in your opinion shed.

I WANT A CAR BOOT KEYBOARD

I hate these things. Got mobility issues? Pushing a pram? Simply need to walk down this pavement? FUCK YOU - GET IN THE ROAD YOU PIECE OF SHIT, WE NEED THIS SPACE FOR SCOOTERS

Heard a station announcement today where they read out the British Transport Police number as “Six, one-oh-one, six” and it’s shaken my world.

Big of a different sort of Thursday for me as I spent it at Strawberry Fields at the press event for a couple of things on Lennon’s 85th birthday!
