The local news have asked me for my secret on living to 100 years old. I was about to reply about drinking tea, not smoking, being an active gardener etc and then I realised that I’m not 100, it just feels like it.

Is it just me?

And close friend of Kenneth Williams. #RIPstanleyBaxter

Genuinely surprised that Windows is using the UK spelling of “initialising” for this region. Now if we can just correct “Favorites”, I’ll be happy.

Making a second-person shooter game where it's just me telling you what to do.

Not many left on the shelves this year

I discovered today that the colour Cerise is from the French word for cherry.

🎂 E. H. Shepard was born on this day in 1879. A titan among British illustrators, he’s best remembered for his Winnie-the-Pooh illustrations. 🧸 The surprising ways his artwork & the text work together to shape the Pooh stories are a story all their own ⤵️ blog.archive.org/2025/12/10/e... 🧵

If you see someone drowning in the Irish Sea, don't phone the PCNI. They don't have any lifeboats.

D.E.I. shot the serif, but I will not shoot no Calibri

Postman’s been! #LaurelAndHardy

I did not know that “Café Nero” is Spanish for “Black coffee”.

I have the Ritz crackers and After Eights. I'm ready for Christmas.

omg. Chatbot advises youth how to kill herself and even drafted a suicide note. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3x71pv1qno

You want to watch a cartoon from 104 years ago, right? www.dailymotion.com/video/x7x1usu

After what they did to The War Games, I shan’t be looking at the cut-down omnibus of The Sea Devils.

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Human Spaceflight: 06 May 1968. During a training exercise, a malfunction of the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle causes Neil Armstrong to bail out seconds before the machine crashed to the ground and exploded. He bit his tongue on landing but escaped otherwise unharmed.

RIP Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa I’ve been a fan since Rising Sun.

this shit is just beyond parody, man

Wow, i never even heard of this jam session from 1956. Who knew that Jerry Lee Lewis once didn't hate Elvis?

New models built by me, Titan Studios 3D, and It's An Ashton. New Myrka, designed and built by Chris Stephens (you’ll see more of it later). New Magma Beast courtesy of James Burgess. And of course, my Himbos of the Deep. Andrew Clements, Connor Flanagan, Ben Page and Ryan Wade.

Watching The Ed Sullivan Show (with Elvis Presley) and Señor Wences comes on and does a ventriloquist bit which clearly inspires South Park. I had NO idea.

Design-wise, if you're wondering why there's no TARDIS on the inner flap this time, you are clearly one of the few people yet to witness the majesty of Frontios. ENJOY!

It’s a whole trio of authentic voices. I assumed likewise, though not sure I can place the “enemies” line - perhaps a bit of clever sound editing? Lovely to hear them anyway - much as I also love Mr Briggs & his Magic Moogerfooger!

"I might regenerate. I don't know. Feels different this time..." Doctor Who The Collection Season 21 is ANNOUNCED! Seven incredible stories, loads and loads of extras, a hefty collectors booklet and a few surprises. Ready to preorder now!

I'm looking forward to episode 2! Would that be on Christmas Day?

What is going on on YouTube? This was in my recommendations. (No, I have history disabled)

Er...

Oh no guys you haven't bought a $1200 doomscroller that's identical to your 2 year old doomscroller. Have you even thought about the economy?!

Well, time to get your DVDs out and plan your own Christmas Day line-up.

Tuuuuuuune. youtu.be/2T6DSZhJ-RY?...

The BBC Micro is 44 years old today, Happy Birthday! However, many customers had to wait until early 1982 for delivery of theirs due to limited supply availability before Christmas. During its lifespan just over 1.5 million were sold - exact figures are not known. I still have my original one.

Tonight's Christmas episode of PARDON THE EXPRESSION saw some very familar foes take over the store. It really must have been something to have been a part of Dalekmania in the 1960s.  #PardontheExpression #Granada #ITV #ArthurLowe #Daleks

I see there's a new "celebrities" challenge show where I only recognise 1 person in the line-up. We're rapidly approaching the point where you wouldn't know the "celebrities" if they stood next to you with an ID badge telling you who they are.

V is very very extraordinary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZWm...

Advent ain't Christmas.

It’s #StarTrekDay and from my VHS archive here is an extract from Star Trek Night in 1996 where Shaun Ryder and Kermit from Black Grape discuss the TNG episode Ship in a Bottle. It’s quite something!

16th November, 1974. Foyles Literary Luncheon. Diana Rigg, Eric Morecambe and Derek Nimmo turn up to celebrate the launch of "Twice Brightly" by Ned of Wales.

Tuesday 14th November 1972, 7pm

In the 1968 TV Movie “Prescription Murder”*, Lt. Columbo has a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. It’s so weird to see him with a modern American car, instead of a 1959 Peugeot. *filmed in June/July 1967

Woah. How has it taken me so long to realise that N*g*l F*r*g* is the Enoch Powell of our time?

Just sitting here watching My Name Is Earl, casually looking up the actors on imdb to see if I've seen any of them elsewhere when.... NO WAY! This is John DiMaggio, the voice of Bender 'Bending' Rodriguez from Futurama.

Just minding my own business, watching some old tv and... i know that name.

To everyone else in the world: How's your Thursday going?

When a singer says “You’ve been a fantastic audience!” I sometimes feel guilty that I haven’t done enough.
