On its birthday, here's my favourite Sesame Street song that isn't the Pinball Song: youtu.be/W6_d22aMqZs?...

Why does this kid always look like he's contemplating pushing her off the balcony?

I really like Ringo’s shirt.

Watching The Beatles Get Back and some flowers arrive in the studio. Ringo: “Who they off?” Subtitle: “Who are they from?”

GIVE. KAREN. HAUER. A. RINGER. #Strictly

When people ask me what the eighties were like I tell them “there was a really unfunny comedian who everyone hated who’d turn up on telly all the time and his gimmick was he owned a dog.”

BBC Three doing its part for accessibility

Out for Sunday lunch. Waitress: “would you like the dessert menu?” Me: “no thank you, I’ve got everything I need.”

oh look another metro line transforming lives and cities and winning architectural awards and being generally amazing www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

This morning, Sunday, Radio 4's religiously inclined cousin to the Today programme casually revealed the 1970s post boy charged with handling the rats in formaldehyde that the Boomtown Rats wanted to distribute across the US as a publicity stunt is now Pope Leo XIV. I'm sure I didn't dream this.

Increasingly believe Herbal Essences shampoo is just coloured water

In 2015 45% of the railways in India were electrified. A decision was made that year to make it 100%. Ten years later they’ve reached 98%.

Watched the Festival of Remembrance. We’re definitely getting “God Save The Quing” in the first line for the next thirty years or so.

“Where’s your fucking poppy?”

My personal highlight of tonight’s Strictly: Balvinder’s silver fox brother in law.

It’s that time of year where I let Spotify play on mute so that my Wrapped might possibly feature some music made after c.2004.

Important: Wai Lin and Miranda Frost were on Graham Norton together last night, and they talked about being Bond Girls (in a very positive way as well).

New level of Scouse Bird unlocked: sat in an open top BMW with her rollers in.

His face aptly conveys “I guess I’m reduced to getting my tits out for the gays again”.

Deeply unsurprised to learn that the elimination of a boring but pretty skinny white queen has gone down badly with the Drag Race UK fandom.

Me watching the #DragRaceUK Snatch Game.

Oldest selfie on your phone. Twatting about in front of a railway station in January 2016, as usual. (I’m so old I delete old photos because I’m still worried about space on my phone)

I want to kidnap the Durham girls and force them to take some night classes. #Gogglebox

Watching Race Across The World. They’ve started on the Isla Mujeres in Mexico. Me: “They filmed Licence To Kill there you know.” I am a JOY to be around.

This was ALMOST saved by the last second cameo. youtu.be/ePDi2KGAzo8?...

I’m all jumpy and full of energy for some reason. I feel like Jessie Spano.

Bluesky moderation's Public Enemy No. 1

If you put on an amdram production of The Full Monty you should be legally required to include pictures of the cast on the poster. I’m not buying tickets to see naked mingers.

Absolutely fucked my throat laughing at Cunk of Earth last night.

Is Cate Blanchett good or is she just tall?

Read all through this article to discover the answer was "because we can" www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Sorry, no. Joe Dante is a directing genius. Chris Columbus is not. (Yes, I know he wrote it, but come on, look at the films he's directed).

oh no

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Ahead of Celebrity Traitors, let's remember when Nick Mohammed's son was on Cats Does Countdown doing an astonishing memory trick and Nick basically burst with pride. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9mK...

My life is now nothing but a countdown to the release of this film. deadline.com/2025/11/miss...

The Dangleway is just embarrassing now. diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2025/11/some...

Woke thanks to a stress dream that I didn’t have my uniform ready. For junior school. In 1988. Come on Brain, surely we’re past this by now?

Fuck me but some of the locals in the town are miserable cunts. On the plus side they’re old and this is a revisit so they’re probably dead now.

Grand Designs is a revisit in West Kirby so I’m going to be very dull about it.

Started watching Eric and Ernie and I forgot Reese Shearsmith turns up at the start in blackface.

Susan Sarandon on Debra Messing: “Is she not working?” youtu.be/Vyq0tHNDQLE?...

Blanche Hunt has read your posts.

What is the POINT of setting off fireworks while it’s still light out? Apart from to be an absolute pain in the arse of course.

You’d think going into a bank to pay something would be easier than online but it turns out no, they really don’t want to take your money unless you absolutely press it.

IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER
