Not that anyone asked, but the country with the World's lowest life expectancy (Chad) has a higher life expectancy than the country with the highest life expectancy 120 yrs ago (Sweden). Think Science and especially Medicine has somehow failed you? Think again. #ScienceMatters

This moment always gets me in the feels. It has its critics but I love ROTJ still. Was the first Star Wars film I saw at the cinema, my mum took 4 year old me to the Odeon in Allerton in my Darth Vader costume with home made black cloak no less. Always enjoy a watch #filmsky #StarWars

Yeah they need to include a trigger warning about the musical number in Jabba’s palace…

Need cheering up after the thing that shall not be mentioned yesterday afternoon so going to my safe place… Star Wars. Return of the Jedi for me this evening.. #filmsky #StarWars #ReturnOfTheJedi

My steaming dome of lemony, syrupy goodness is done and it smells amazing #cakesky #bakesky #foodsky

Drums at football matches…

Roast beef out the oven and resting. Roasted on a bed of sliced onions. Will blend the roasted onions into the gravy #foodsky

Tonight (Sun) at 9.45pm, @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social - 1957 classic Night of the Demon. I did a Halloween round-up of the very best horror films for the BBC this year, and placed this as my all time favourite. 'it's in the trees...it's coming...' #TPTVsubtitles film-authority.com/2025/06/15/n...

The post roast pud is going in the steamer for a couple of hours - this week it’s Steamed lemon and syrup sponge pudding. Proper cold winter dessert to stick to your ribs, so easy but v v tasty. Will serve warm with custard after our roast beef. Recipe below #cakesky #foodsky #bakesky

Alan is a bit too arch and OTT if I’m honest. Doesn’t need to ham it up like this. The contestants are a bit much too. All a bit forced so far….

Starting US Traitors tonight on iPlayer. Hope they don’t mess with the concept too much or go too glitzy. Will see, normally love Alan Cumming but he’ll do well to match Claudia #TheTraitorsUS

Walter Cronkite on CBS delivering the announcement of JFK’s death, 62 years ago today.

I used to despise international breaks #LFC

I fancied watching a film instead of MOTD anyway….. #LFC

Getting certain vibes from Michael Dawson here… #LFC

Standing in an offside position in front of the goalkeeper absolutely fine this week it is then #LFC

Let’s go to Mike Dean and see what he thinks. Deano, did the referee make the right call there? #LFC

Can’t watch match so having to watch Soccer Saturday where Michael Dawson is watching us. He has so much product on his hair if a nuclear bomb went off in that studio it’s all that would be left intact #LFC

It’s match day Reds! Let’s start that comeback! In Arne and the lads, I trust #LFC

You entered a dance contest. Pick your partner.

If you see this, QTP with a gif of your favourite wild animal 🌿

If the Burnley wide players figure out how to pass to their own players in the box then they could be on to something. Now Chelsea score.

Can’t sleep so going to watch a Hammer classic from 1968 - Dracula Has Risen From The Grave. One of my favourites. Directed by Freddie Francis and shot by Arthur Grant using Francis’ coloured filters he used on The Innocents. Great finale #horrorsky #filmsky #HammerHorror

The security of 750 million Europeans cannot be dependent on which way 100,000 voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona vote every 4 years. The 1st Trump term should’ve made this clear already.

I’ve said this every month for a year.

Our friend the Natterjack Toad is known as Europe's loudest amphibian! During breeding season, the distinctive call from a chorus of males can be heard more than a mile away! An easy way to distinguish them from other common toads is the yellow stripe down their back! (photo by Borja Fierro)

I regret to inform you all my Christmas party invitation list has been leaked to X….

Starting my Christmas baking today. First up is soaking my Creole Christmas cake fruit in a variety of booze that Oliver Reed would think was a bit OTT. Best Christmas cake you will get (Delia recipe and posted below, pictures are from last year) and really worth trying #bakesky #cakesky #foodsky

Don’t normally mind spiders at all, never have. However when I woke up this morning there was a house spider on the wall that was bloody massive. If that fell on my face in the night I’m thinking I might have a cardiac arrest

I was this years old when I found out that Pete and Sophie from Gogglebox are the niece and nephew of The Chuckle Brothers #ToMeToYou

There’s one thing better than homemade lasagne for tea. It’s leftover homemade lasagne for tea the next day… #foodsky

An important reminder that who governs us isn’t just shit and giggles. It is literally life and death. Would help if our media decided their role was to inform the public and not maintain their access and generate political gossip and clickbait. Imagine Reform in charge if another pandemic hits…

Seems my preferred marmalade is also a good reflection of my personality - bitter and subtly sweet Who knew?

No more Fletch and Macmanaming? #LFC

Bit late this season but the last couple of weeks of rain partly to blame, I’ve been out planting snowdrop and crocus bulbs. Now I can’t feel my fingers #plantsky #flowersky

Key line on what Robertson has just said there about Jota is about him being "in a bad way" earlier today in his hotel room. How often have they been in a bad way and just tried to crack on? We don't know and never will. They've been poor at football at times but don't criticise their character.

Yep I have no regrets about all that cheese. Ooof #foodsky #bakesky

'The Power Of Love' turns 41 today, released in 1984 🫶

Given the Arctic weather descending on us now decided to move my tender carnivorous plants from my unheated greenhouse into my plant room. Here are my Pinguicula snuggled up from the cold. The leaf pulling I did earlier in the year are really romping away now #carnivorousplants #pinguicula #plantsky

Tea assembled and resting ready for the oven. Love lasagna. Thought I might have overdone it with the cheese topping (mozzarella, Parmesan and cheddar) but then on second thought there’s no such thing as too much cheese is there? #foodsky #bakesky

First time in my life I’ve wished I was a goggly eyed bright red puppet

Just because it’s not mentioned doesn’t mean it’s not affecting them still #LFC

What a guy #LFC #YNWA

Don’t mind me, just put the bins out

“We’ve lured a dissident journalist to our embassy, drugged then dismembered him by mistake….”

Oh no. It’s always the last people you think….

It’s bloody freezing. The time for the big coat to shine has come
