Happy Birthday to the delightful wise and witty Lalla Ward!! 🥂

Every pride month at least one person sends me this cartoon of @oldsixie.bsky.social at Pride. This year it was @thasceles.bsky.social. Always makes me smile. (credit in link)

The bird shooting industry hates us right now. Which is good. It means we're doing something right. They hate the fact their industry is being exposed to millions of people.

You’ll never guess which party he represents. WRONG. Also WRONG. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

We're building a mass movement to end bird shooting in this country. Join our mailing list to stay up to date: protectthewild.org.uk/join-end-bir...

A very happy birthday today to my dear friend fellow Geminian and former colleague Anita Harris 🥰

If you’re going to Collectormania Milton Keyes! On Saturday. Pop over to Colin’s table. @oldsixie.bsky.social

I didn’t know I had an Amazon music subscription as I have never used it, but I’ve just had to cancel it because I didn’t know I had it but I can’t find any way of telling Amazon that I have been paying for a subscription without knowing it and never using it.

Our money is on @oldsixie.bsky.social

GB News is trying to gut the BBC. Their radical plan would force shows like Strictly and The Traitors to be axed or hidden behind a Netflix-style paywall. Sign the petition to say NO to a BBC subscription model:

If you get shot in the arc, it’s best if you do it to yourself!!!

So sorry to learn that we have lost Michael Keating. A lovely man and effortlessly real actor. I think even Bayban the Butcher would mourn his passing As do I

McDonald and Dodds is such a good programme and I am astonished it was cancelled- currently being rerun on ITV 3 Lovely stuff!

@paulmerroney.bsky.social hello

Please, please everyone humour me The word aitch does not begin with the letter it represents any more than m is mem or n is nen H is AITCH and when I hear government ministers talking about the HAITCH ESS 2 railway project. I realise the time has come to speak out. To shout out in fact.

Looking forward to seeing you all at London Comic Con Spring this weekend #LCCSpring and #ShowmastersEvents Have your photo taken with me and Brian Blessed if you dare!

I wonder why the only names being pursued in the media in the Epstein abuse saga are British? And the only person imprisoned is also female…

Much though I have enjoyed all of my many trips to the USA over forty or so years I have realised that I cannot go there any more until there is what we might call ‘regime change’ Like Iran they are killing their own citizens. Tragic

Interesting to see Inspector Morse - House of Ghosts by Alma Cullen is touring again. It was on in Oxford this week 16 years after I played that part in it at the same theatre. Good play - well worth a revival.

He’s right about one thing No one’s ever seen anything like it

@faceofboe.bsky.social Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas Gill And hoping you are all thriving and joyous knit wits!

The advert says ‘the coolest gadgets of 2025’ and shows something that looks pretty cool, which does not figure at all on the website when you go there. I’ve fallen for it several times.! Enough already!

Just watched the first two episodes of the war between the land and the sea Brilliant stuff, just brilliant Hats off to Russell T and Pete Tighe and all involved.

For years I have complained about the absence of anything in a theatre program to indicate what year the play took place in and still they don’t include the year with the date. Fine when you’re in the theatre, but not years later when you’re looking at them.

The FIFA draw is steadily moving from tedium to massive embarrassment

Happy Doctor Who Day everyone 62 years of Gallifreyan fun and frolics! 👍👏🩷

This is James and Alana Who between them ensured I was at Salisbury Comicon today when a pothole destroyed two of my tyres when I was 9 miles away! They picked me up and waited for the AA and tyre repairer 🩷

Happy days are here again Recording Big Finish today That’s always a good day

My heart goes out to all the people that have a pet that’s terrified of the fireworks tonight 🐶🐱 Hugs x @oldsixie.bsky.social @nicolabryant.bsky.social

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

25 years ago this last weekend, my dearest oldest friend Stephen Barry left us. He was not only a great director and theatre administrator but the best friend I ever had and I still miss his humour, kindness, and loyalty. I just wanted to see his name out there again and send love to his family.

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

This is Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov. On this day, 42 years ago, he saved your life and the lives of everyone you love. He saved the world. Google his name.
