I could murder a beefy bake right now.

I'm busy getting my pH balance right.

Runner beans. Ugh. If I never see another runner bean as long as I live it'll be too soon.

Kenny pretending to be Fyfe Robertson, Billy as the bog attendant but he can't stop corpsing. A classic.

You'd think there'd be more leg room in the back of Roller, even if there's a tall person sitting in the front seat.

This sounds like it's part of a Two Ronnies sketch

Eating cheese is a trigger for drinking more whiskey. Fact.

That's a proper diner.

It's going to get mighty cold this weekend.

I like a suburban roofscape, me. Yer forced to.

Damn, even Sesame Street is scoring off me

I have sad news, for me and for one or two of you who have been following his progress. The demise of Jeff looks imminent. There's a forecast of temperatures below freezing this coming weekend, maybe down to -6 of your centigrades on Sunday morning and only a degree or two warmer Monday morning. The

"... but Huw Wheldon, [...] was resolutely opposed. Wheldon firmly believed that documentaries should only contain actual footage of their subject, and that reconstructing unfilmed events was tantamount to deceiving the viewing public". www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/907277...

"She's been seen in Chesterfield". I've been seen in Chesterfield too. Must have been around 1981-ish. Why, is not important. I've said too much already. Schtum.

Aardvark never hurt anybody.

"Vigorous exercise is a lot like being really ill". #WisdomOfClegg

If it's leavened with baking powder and baked in a loaf tin, it's a fruit cake. If it's leavened with yeast and baked in a loaf tin, it's a fruit loaf (fruit bread/currant loaf is also acceptable). I've just made a fruit cake.

"I'm not frying onions anymore [sic]. Only a few people know this trick" says the title on a YouTube video with three and a half million views and counting. (I didn't add to it)

Definitely need to take a few aspirins before retiring tonight.

I'm only a few minutes into '1975 at the BBC' and I'm already having nostalgic emotional overload.

It's been a fer-funny old day. The water has been turned off for most of it (long story that one or two of you already know about) and it's only just come on, three hours later than promised. Whether it'll be hot in the morning remains to be seen because it's water heater repairs that are to blame.

I might have been a bit previous in my reports of the flower clusters on Jeff being dead. They're opening! It's hard to get a decent shot of them because the damn things are so high up (at least seven foot tall now) and waiting for the sun to come round and light them in a David Bailey stylee.

Friday.

I'm too cream crackered to post anything. Aren't you glad?

Does this cat looks like it cares about... anything? I would like to be this cat.

I was there at Custom House Stadium and it was indeed very sad. The saddest part was that Romford had already had to leave their own stadium, then this happened. There was no shortage of supporters. Many memories of both tracks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIvQ...

I could murder a string of links right now.

I bloody love carboniferous limestone. Who doesn't?

It's no longer than Supper's Ready so bloody well stick with it. I'm watching you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOIu...

Maintenance came in today to replace a halogen lamp in the kitchen tracklight. Within the hour I got an over-excited text from the management company's AI assistant ("Great news! Your work order etc etc has been completed") and now I'm anticipating with dread the feedback emails that will follow.

I've never watched Call The Midwife. Here's what I think it's about

In the unlikely event that I should ever meet Alan Bennett, the first thing I would say to him would probably be "Mr Bennett, may I give you a great big hug?"

I ballsed up this afternoon. Should have started making dinner earlier. Firstly I got the frozen pastry out of the fridge about 30 minutes later than I should so the Eccles cakes went into the oven later than ideal, and I was in such a rush that I forgot the three slits on the top. It's been a while

Once again after watching an Ogmios video I find myself thanking the old gods that I don't have to drive around these roads (these *exact* roads), or any roads. Praise be. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGYZ...

They're here. I thought you weren't suppose to cut grass when it's wet.

It isn't dry January any more. In fact it's our first measurable rainfall since December 18th. And I have to walk to the shops this morning. Of course I do.

Goodnight, and may your spiritual being go with you. You may also go on your own if you have the strength to do so.

I could murder a big fat lah di dah right now.

Philip Elsmore. PHILIP BLOODY ELSMORE!!! Probably means nothing to you if you grew up outside the Thames TV region.

Bollocks to fruit de mer. It gives me the ick.

Some of my neighbours seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that when they start their vehicle it's necessary to sit there with the engine idling for up to 5 minutes before pulling away, and right on cue the bloke who owns the muscle car I thought might be a Mustang (it's a Dodge Charger

This episode of Open All Hours was broadcast on March 8th 1981 and would have been filmed months earlier. I wonder what the headline on Arkwright's newspaper refers to? It was far too early for Ian Botham walking back into the pavilion at Lord's in silence after his second duck of the match.

"Would you care for a sherry Linda? You've a choice of course. You can have the sweet, or you can have the sort that makes your eyes water".

New Show for a new year !! It’s loosely a soul special … sorta ! As in more than a few soul records in this show …. Hope you like it 😃 youtu.be/fv9mfm-PcjE?...

I've been picking CDs off the shelf at random this afternoon, and by random I mean looking at them and thinking "I don't remember a bloody thing about this", probably because it was one of the many CDs I bought when I worked at a used CD store here 20 years ago. The first one was just called LeBlue,

But it was for personal use officer, honest! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Mind as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel. That must have been one of Parky's easiest and most enjoyable interviews. Fortune telling and Watergate were both discussed, and blow me down if Orson didn't damn near predict the current mess.

It has been an emotional week what with one things and another. Mostly because my kids have come home. This is what they look like now...

When was the last time you heard this? I remember when records like this, with samples and found sounds started coming out and thinking damn, I want to hear more of this. I want to make some of this! I never did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6CJ...

Oh how I would like to live in Liquorland.
