The fact that everyone knew about Walliams for years but he didn’t get outed until his book sales (which accounted for 48% of Harper Collins’ total sales) dropped by 60% is just a coincidence, surely?

That whole, ‘there’s a reason why it’s called a Test’, trope is also pretty pertinent for England fans 😅 #Ashes #TheAshes #🏏

Ooh! A Nadolig Llawen from Steve of Brother Beyond there. ✨ #TOTP

See! Dionne Warwick hated Cilla before it was fashionable! 😅

Me calling all my friends to tell them Get Carter in on in a bit #GetCarter

SING KING MIDAS IN REVERSE NOW PLEASE or Wishyouawish or All The World Is Love, I quite like late 60s Hollies as it goes 😅 #TOTP

I always wanted to see what was on Chris Lowe’s screen when he was on #TOTP & always hoped it would say, 10 PRINT “HELLO MUM” 20 GOTO 10

I just saw this on Insta posted by @readymeal5 I don’t follow them so I don’t know what they’re like but this made me simultaneously laugh & cry 🤣😭😭 #🏏 #TheAshes #Ashes

You will be visited by three spirits

Adverts for Valium from a 1971 Graphis magazine feature on La Roche pharmaceutical company’s advertising campaigns

Craven Faults at the Albert Hall!! 🙌 ✨✨✨

@theleaflabel.com I just deleted. Eeek! Massive apols for the faux pas!! I only just found them on here ‘cause of you, so I’ll happily repost one of theirs now 🫣🫣🫣

I just had my brain fried by 3 1/2 hrs of Welsh vocab mutations, so I’ve decided to live in the past in N.Wales & S.Wales for pretty much everything else. 😭😭😭 #cymraeg #treigladmeddal I bet everyone says that. 😭 I’m just glad I don’t have to learn, English, that must be so much worse 😭

pass it on to anyone in Leeds who might need assistance #HomelessDrive #Leeds #HorseAndTrumpet

A bit of extra context for that great bit of footage of the women helping the v. drunk man get safely back to his hotel 😅

I think Broad calls it here & says in a much more succinct (& sensible) manner what I was trying to get at with this, re. communicating, making suggestions etc. I feel like faffing can help, faff with the positions, even gardening, tamping etc to break the flow & tension 😅😂 youtu.be/n5BtUHjtXF4

I feel like it needs somebody to do something to switch up the energy a bit, maybe a little bit of mischief making to break up the stultifying, energy draining monotony of being stood out there watching tailenders spanking you for boundaries. 😅 #Ashes #🏏

I’m not kidding when I say, these are my fave type of Christmas tree 🎄 It’s the sparkliness 🤩 Plus look at those lovely light filters. #totp How can I post this without mentioning Tammy Wynette?

What I would give to watch legs and co run in and shit this snooker right up #TOTP

After years of bemoaning the fact that nobody seems to remember how big the Thompson Twins were in the 80s, & how they’re barely given a mention, they’ve been popping more & more. I just like them being included for the sake of accuracy 😅(walks away singing, The Cure) #totp

Don’t #totp me now!! I’ve got cricket to watch (& cry over) in 5hrs!! 😭🤣 #Ashes #🏏

Get a move on, lads. Can they not do it against the clock like on Big Break? #TOTP

Quick! Nelson! Stand on one leg, or not, depending on what you want to happen 😅 #UmpireShep #Ashes #🏏 I’m not listening to TMS, but I’m guessing they mention it..? #Shep

I took a cricket break for about 7days with #Ashes jet lag 😅 but for the past couple of days or so, l've been binging on all the Ashes eps of podcasts & general cricket docs & I'm currently curled up on the sofa watching the Flintoff doc, thinking about taking an Ashes nap #🏏

Oh blimey! That’ll teach me to have a long lunch!! 😅😩#TheAshes #🏏

Phew! That was a nice review before lunch 😅 #TheAshes #🏏

Starc is on fire 🔥 #theashes #🏏

😭😭😭 #TheAshes #🏏

😩 #TheAshes #🏏 & why did he ask for that to be reviewed?

Love that #TNTSports show the balls of the over incl. dots. #theashes #ashes

Like Christmas morning:

I’m gonna take an Ashes nap. I’ve set my alarm ⏰ Yes, I’m coining the phrase, tbf someone else could’ve coined it already, for all I know 😅🏏✨✨

On a what I think was a junction box at Stourbridge Junction, there used to be graffiti that read,”You can have it all, my empire of dirt” & it made me be both laugh & think, aw, that’s a bit harsh, every damn time I saw it (yes I knew where it came from) #40OriginalsAtTheBBC

I love the fact that Dave Gilmore is just in the background & doesn’t get a mention for being in Al Green’s backing band. I don’t have anything against DG, it’s just that he’s not the most important person in the room here #40OriginalsAtTheBBC Tho’ I’ve just spoiled it by mentioning him 😅

✨💖Mariska!!! 💖✨ #40originalsatthebbc

YAY! 🙌 #totp ✨✨✨ Still love this no matter how many times I hear it 😄 All their lovely clobber too 😍 #picturesofmatchstickmen #totp

Always think about Sean Hughes singing, “Make me a tea & make it sweet…to Robert De Niro I’ll show it, I hope that he doesn’t blow on it” #totp

I’m tired, so I’ll just read all your #totp posts

Book post! It only seems right to get the updated edition of, A-Side Are Your Dreams At Night 1985 Sizes To Big, the brilliant, Spacemen 3 based fanzine-esque mini book, by @grahamholliday.bsky.social from Jumbo Records. ✨

Again, LOVING the Arenas being shown on BBC4 💖✨ #arena #bbc4 #chelseahotel

I can’t find a gif for this, so a pic of my fave scene from the film will have to do 💖✨

Me as my fave book, well, as Lawrence, the Street Level Superstar. I don't have a Deebank badge, so an official Terry Miles badge instead & no late 60s Wranger trucker (which obvs has the more aesthetically pleasing pockets & badging)

@spacemenp.bsky.social I spotted a post on FB the porter day, but lost it, about spare posters for your night? I’m guessing they’ll have all gone by now? 😅

Watching, Peter Blake painting Kendo Nagasaki, whilst he has The Shipping Forecast playing in the background + cuts of Kendo wrestling with Giant Haystacks. Love it + #MastersOfTheCanvas #Arena

If you sent your postcard to “BBC Television Centre, London, W 12 8QT”, it didn’t go anywhere near TVC, it went to the correspondence unit in Sulgrave House off Goldhawk Road #totp

This effect was not intentional, it was the result of too many “lemonades” in the BBC Club by the vision department #totp

Yeah, Permissive (1970) is bleak, but I still like it. I’m a sucker for films of that era -oh the clothes & music etc! 😍 I picked up the quad for a couple of £, years before I saw the film, ‘cause how could I have resisted this tagline (my poster was caught in a flood, so lots of foxing now 😭) ✨

FYI Magic Roundabout doc +1ep is on BBC4 now! 😄✨✨🌸

Tintern Abbey live in 1968 with Thor the honey buzzard perched on David MacTavish' head.

@sequinworld.bsky.social Hiya, hope all’s okies with you. Nov’s Carpe is a clash, so you have Luxury Stranger at Carpe & Deathtrippers at The Fox & Grapes, both on the 8th Nov. Sasha was expecting Carpe to be a week earlier 😅😬✨
