Quizzing intensifies. I'm not that tall, skirting board aided me being visible.

Is it bad, when staying somewhere with a telly not signed out of YouTube, to infect the history with what might be considered a better class of content?

No, it's not just you.

#Spring is boinging around the garden at last.

No, it's not just you.

Carry On Doctor Strangelove.

current status: weeping with laughter

Physicist has written a fascinating big beautiful paper.Let’s not be afraid to call it what it is - groundbreaking. arxiv.org/abs/2603.21852

Just ran into #SNLUK again. Either I'm too old, it's not very good, or my humour is simply not intersecting with theirs. The current affairs references are pedestrian, the sketches that I've seen are boring. Give me something unexpected and I might be more interested.

Thinking about the Persian Gulf, I can't get away from the image of Mr Prosser, the descendent of Genghis Khan in Hitchhiker's Guide, being persuaded by Ford Prefect to lay down the the mud in front of his own bulldozer.

Happy birthday Peter Davison!

I'm missing #totp again. Please accept my humble apologies.

Just remembered the existence of the eminent mathematician Jacques Tits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Tits

I strongly suspect that today's 6Music 1991 day will bear only a passing resemblance to the musical 1991 that I experienced.

Apparently that was Alan Cumming and companions just leaving the pub as I started setting up for the quiz. Going to have to look him up now to see what he looks like...

This roe deer was very unexpected this morning. It was at the bottom of the slope of Calton Hill and seeming to be considering jumping down to Regent Road. #UrbanWildlife #CaltonHill #Edinburgh

I can't be the first person to have read this and thought that Dublin Bus is trying to encourage job applications by saying "G'wan you prick"

Just discovered that there's a metal band called Unleash the Archers, and the name is giving me probably unintended rural English imagery rather than the probable medieval warfare vibe they're going for.

Some absolute mad genius built a tiny submersible for his parrot — now the bird is “exploring” the underwater world in the Bahamas. And it’s not fake. According to the owner, the parrot named Bebe isn’t new to extreme stuff — he’s even gone skydiving in a special chest box before.

Happened upon #snluk. Thought I'd better give it a chance. A few minutes in, still awaiting mirth. I suspect this isn't my sort of humour, there's time yet though.

This is how i dance. #totp

Why's Bobby got a mic stand? #totp

Leave me breakfast. #totp

Always thought En Vogue really stood out. Nothing much else in this genre really did it for me. #totp

A proper bangin donk on this tune. #totp

Sun's out, guns out. #totp

#donovan #totp

"REBEL MC!". Did I do it right? #totp

I shared this years ago elsewhere, but it stands repeating.

I'd never noticed it before but there's an incidental character in The Inimitable Jeeves called the Reverend Cuthbert Dibble, and now I'm wondering if the creators of Trumpton were Wodehouse fans

You know how #Edinburgh Council's been a bit skint lately? Well apparently they're thinking of getting corporate sponsors in for some of the monuments in town.

LOOK UP. AT NIGHT. NEXT MONTH. Yes, I'm still sick of the apparently endless articles about bloody full moons. or pink ones.

I hope Scott Mills hasn’t been sullying the good name of Radio 1 DJs and former TOTP presenters

Reposted with ALT cos its funny . How using an algorithim to select photos for your news article is going:

Lovely day by the Clyde. I won't mention the apocalyptic downpour everyone queueing for the gig was suffering as I drove past looking for parking...

This has to be the worst rendition of Baker Street I've ever heard.

It appears that Tesco Value St Helens have turned up to this match #slhkrsth #superleague #rugbyleague

Alas, having to skip #totp as pub happened instead.

If I'm ever in a coma, I want it on the record that I'd like everyone to come and visit me whilst wearing "Future Clothes", so you can trick me into believing that it's been decades in the moments after I wake.

Don't panic Wales/Ireland sports fans, you can enjoy the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup (and the Women's if you're Welsh too!)

You're all being quite silly this evening and I'm quite enjoying it.

Does this mean she can be shot by archers from the walls like a common Scotsman?

I do like to look at this ( https://musicmap.info/ ) now and again; an explorable schematic of music genres and their relationships.

All I remember of our school trip to a farm is a cow guzzling the copious stream of piss being fired out of one of its colleagues.

Last week the heady heights of tier 8's quarter final in the OQL Pop Culture Challenge was picked as game of the week. In which I demonstrate my particularly patchy knowledge of such things: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU6Y...

Now finished. Adequately done. I pity anyone who wants to remove the nails again a few years hence.

It's like Mr Mister existed for about six months in 1986 and then winked out of existence again. They're probably onto their 27th album by now. #totp

No Stevie, wear this jumper, it really suits you. #totp
