I’m treating this like football fans treat new signings

Mam found an old coconut that looks like a capuchin monkey. More news as we have it.

all it took was hearing their "theme music" for me to know that the Looney Tunes are unserious buffoons

The Sims

Aye, that’ll do me

You gotta stank your own kind of stusic. Stink your own special stonk

Me and the boys were gonna experience 10,000 years of hell later if you’re interested

You know what, this advert is really growing on me. Never thought Pepto Bismol needed a song and a dance routine, but now that it has one, I think it’s better off for it. xx

29 years ago today, Homer Simpson had an epic chili pepper-induced hallucination. “El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer” first aired January 5, 1997. Most of the sequence was animated completely by David Silverman as he wanted it to look exactly as he had imagined it.

God I love series 8

Everyone be careful out there - there's a Mr Bean somewhere in the vicinity

I've been enjoying seeing everyone's book lists, so here's the books I read in 2025 (including audiobooks) 📚🦡

Love this passage and it feels quite nice and fitting to be reading it as a new year is creeping itself around the corner. Book: Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates

2026 Ins and Outs: IN: left arm right arm left leg right leg whole self OUT: left arm right arm left leg right leg whole self

As a new year makes its arrival, please ensure to remember to put a small cube of Gouda under your bed pillow as an offering to The New Year Rodent.

I’m on the wonderful Frank Skinner’s BBC Radio 4 panel show ‘One Person Found This Helpful’ tonight at 6:30pm! This is your 5 minute warning (or just listen on BBC Sounds whenever ye wisheths)

My resume just has my name and ‘insightful’ written under it

TAKE YOUR TIME … NANCY IS THE BOSS AROUND HERE

The placebo effect was named after John Placebo, who loved effects

I’m stirring. Do you not consider me a creature?

Merry Christmas from me and mam’s nativity in a snow globe, where everyone (including baby Jesus) has been eating a lovely Christmas spaghetti bolognaise.

I'm a regular guy, I put my trousers on the same way as everyone else: falling into them through a hole in the ceiling via a contraction operated by my long suffering dog

He’s getting ideas.

The four wise men gave Jesus gold, frankincense, myrrh and nickel but Jesus gave the nickelback and that guy never made it as a wise man

“No no no, you see it’s like ‘colourless green ideas sleep furiously’ - you can take a photo without the contents of it adding up to make sense, but also don’t try to make them make sense haha” - Noam Chomsky, probably #linguistics

Is this canon? Is the Elf on the Shelf friends with poo? And you’re asking this man to monitor your children? The man friends with faeces?

Far Side

Another day, another clump of leaves that I have mistaken for a hedgehog. In another universe, hedgehogs are taking photos of clumps of leaves, mistaking them for an Anna. 🦔

Felt naff on the way to my gig tonight, until a lovely woman (called Shelia) came and sat opposite me on the train. We had a lovely natter, and when we parted ways she gave me Quavers and a pack of wafers for the journey. Thank goodness for Sheilas. May we all find them, and may we all be them.

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

This popping up on my YouTube recommendations feels so reassuring somehow.

Burp?

I have never had a piercing and thought to myself "God, I just wish the piercer was under more pressure"

Not surprised. Did think “Gremlins in the cinema singing Heigh-Ho” would have at least made the top 5 though.

On my second watch of Reservation Dogs and it’s just as good, if not better, than I remembered. Particularly love series 2. Insanely good show.

Whenever I see police tape that says 'Police Line, Do Not Cross' I think - if only they'd put that up before the crime, they could have prevented it

Throughly enjoyed chatting with @britishcomedy.bsky.social about The Early Worms podcast and a whole host of thought-provoking things for their Random 8 column/ section/ thing. Read it wherever you traditionally read your British Comedy Guide articles (on their website).

We’re now up to four little lovely episodes of the Early Worms podcast! If you leave your house and start walking whilst listening to all the episodes of Early Worms back-to-back, you will end up 2 hours and 17 minutes from home, but boy will you have had a nice time.

ME: wow it gets dark so early now MY UBER PASSENGER: please open your eyes

what do regular lice think of head lice? like damn these guys are fussy

me in the quiet carriage of a haunted house train ride getting really irritated about the screaming
