she's off the leash! #TheWarBetween #TWBTLATS #TheWarBetweenTheLandandtheSea spoilers

#TWBTLATS predictions (not spoilers, I'm guessing) - Kate dies trying to stop The Man from going hexachromite on them - Salt is pregnant... or eggnant or however that works - End credits either reveals Kate's daughter played by a big name, or is a big time jump to Barclay Salt Jnr ruling the world.

The Year Of The Saward Supremacy seems a very distant place indeed.

You breeze over the notion of Roger Moore in an MR James adaptation but I'm going to have "Whistle, and I'll come to YOU" in my head all Christmas. I think he'd have to sing the theme song too.

Went to the big Post Office in town to get my traditional gift of a silver coin for the newest baby in the family's first Christmas and wow. The Collectibles display case now only stocks aftershaves, there's stacks of cheap suitcases and things like poundshop kitchen foil (?) everywhere instead.

Is Top of the Pops on twenty four hours a day now?

Lessons were learned.

The 'get them though the gate before the flight has even landed then make them stand on the stairs watching it come in' stage of late capitalism.

"nothin' I do is good enough for you"

In which we manage to have a serious discussion about the potential outcomes of fishy sex, between a lot of laughing and sea-based puns!

A very merry Last Second Class Posting Date Eve to all who celebrate.

Oh man, just remembered the guy who asked for Star Wars by Richard Burton & I was SO PLEASED to decode that he actually wanted War of the Worlds by Jeff Wayne, even though he sternly told me no it was definitely by Richard Burton til I showed him Burton just plays the narrator

Hic iacet Wizbit, rex quondam, rexque futurus.

Some say the day Dolly wrote Jolene & I Will ALU was the peak of her contribution to music, but to them I say: Something Fishy "I guess some large-mouthed bass Left that lipstick on your shirt I don't think you're a fisherman, honey I think you're a flirt" Also it was fun to review TWATBLATS 3+4!

“It’s Christmas” And before I wish a happy Christmas to all of you at home, watch my Christmas episode to find out which shot number that moment belonged to! Doctor Who and the Feast of Steven (or the bits we can see…)

Any guesses what illustrious academic reference work this index is for?

I just want to be asleep. How is this unreasonable?

#TWBTLATS spoilers

I'm not saying it's a good idea but if you want to you could watch episode 4 before episode 3 now #TWBTLATS

Annual update of the xmas card spreadsheet. Ceremonially deleting the rows of the dead and the "haven't sent us one for three years so probably wanting to opt out". Pondering the Schrödinger status of that Venn diagram's overlap.

First time I got one (Manchild, I think) Ainley's had plastic adapters you could click them into, so I got one for 30p thinking I had to use it in all 'full size' CD players (guessing there were now tiny ones coming out). Was a while until I clicked only front-loading players in cars needed them.

Happy 100th to the most offensive person on BBC Genome

The new Sea Devils edit opening without the alien jolt of its experimental electronic score is so, well, anti-disconcerting. Oddly normalised.

Do you want “fancy” or “standard font” Oh standard font please.

Who makes the best Charles Dickens reading A Christmas Carol, Peter Purves (2023) or Count Arthur Strong (tonight)? Let's find out!

A variant of this is the "Can I just tell you how awesome you are, but also make it all about me?" At Neneh Cherry's book launch she got that over and over, while I was desperate to ask why Move With Me wasn't a single and if the electropop demo of Outre Risqué Locomotive will ever come out.

I hope they put The Stanley Baxter Playhouse from the 00s back up on BBC Sounds. I remember 'Flying Down to Greenock' being really good, gently moving.

Oooh, la!

Hookland is a deliberate re-wilding of folklore, but it is also an act of reminding people that you only have to scratch in the right places to reveal yourself as an animist, a knower of scarelore and someone whose immunity to the strange is a lot less complete than imagined.

Spelt the IT support guy's name wrong in my reply asking him to do me an extra favour and it's a ticket on the system so I can't edit or delete. Had to submit a follow-up ticket specifically to be all oops silly me about it.

Complete remake of the album track because it was time to invent the 90s. North Leicestershire had never heard a bassline like it. Paid a fortune (like £30) for the massive billboard poster of the stunning sleeve art via Record Collector. #NenehCherry #InnaCityMamma youtu.be/9K1BMRG0efw?...

Head cold is at that snotfactory stage where drinking a glass of water results in it all being expelled nasally within about 5 mins.
