9pm Sky Arts - Rik Mayall's Sketches: Rare and Unseen.

He's scared somebody might mention spurs. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

You've got to feel sorry for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor right now; can't even cool down by sweating.

Asked some years ago by Sir Ian McKellen if he was gay or straight, Alan Bennett replied: “That’s like asking a man crawling through the desert if he’d prefer Perrier or Evian.”

Viewing by arrangement with the State Agents.

7/10. Should have got 8, but my brain's overheating.

I posted a story on Substack. substack.com/home/post/p-... "There is only one thing worse than posting a story and that is not posting a story."

Looking forward to these.

This weather has turned me into a genius, as I am currently 99% perspiration.

What's it all about: AI fee.

Two weeks ago, cooker broke - won't receive a replacement till next week. Yesterday, TV remote stopped functioning properly. Today, the display on our landline handset has gone blank. Technology is shit.

@herring1967.bsky.social Rich, if you're looking for something to watch, Sky Documentaries has Rik Mayall: Magnificent B'stard Thursday at 9pm, and Sky Arts has Rik Mayall's Sketches: Rare and Unseen Thursday at 11pm (repeated Friday at 9pm) - presumably, both will be streamed on Sky and NOW TV too.

This country doesn't know what the fuck it wants, which is great news for Farage.

Finally - but playing with Macca. #PrincesTrustRockGala1986

According to AI, Status Quo played #PrincesTrustRockGala1986, but there's no sign of them so far.

Blimey - 40 years ago. I remember watching the original broadcast. I feel decrepit. #PrincesTrustRockGala1986

Who better to illustrate a story on nightlife than a werewolf?

Star Trekkin' by The Firm! I was recovering in hospital after having my appendix out when this charted. Nearly burst my stitches dancing to it! #totp

Pretty Fly For A White Guy was great, so there. #totp

Bloody D&G. Every time I phone them to try and sort out the new cooker, they respond with, "You'll get an email in a couple of hours". Why does it take 2 hours to send each effin' email?

"Olive" Hardy.

Cooker broke. Covered by Domestic & General. Couldn't get engineer last week as road blocked by neighbours' removals vans. Bloke came Tuesday, took photos & said he'd order parts. I chased several times; told cooker irreparable. D&G emailed 5 mins before 5pm closing- "Order your replacement FRIDGE."

6/10. Pretty poor.

@quantick.bsky.social Finally.

@quantick.bsky.social I hadn't heard about this Tavistock stuff till today.

Somebody on The Who's website suggesting that, not only was many of the Beatles and Stones' songs written by the Tavistock Institute, maybe the same applies to The Who, all as part of a 'psyop' campaign. God, I hate conspiracy theories.

Cartel? Is that like Carte D'Or?

If God existed, he'd give @herring1967.bsky.social an even fucking break for once.

'Disguises' - hence Pete's moustache.

@herring1967.bsky.social Good luck with your health appointment.

God, Willie Nelson's 'Crazy' is giving me a headache.

Two episodes of '40 Originals at the BBC' on BBC2 now - wonder if Cat Stevens will get a look-in.

@quantick.bsky.social One of the Morrissey impersonators is on #TOTP but too thin to pass for the real one.

It's high time BBC Four repeated the Cat Stevens gig they used to show regularly. #TOTP #WildWorld #FirstCutIsTheDeepest
