5 jobs I've had: Driver's mate Waiter at Little Chef (first part time job!) Warehouse assistant Journalist Communications officer

The Claudia Wickerman (1973)

Heard Diana Ross's version of Why Do Fools Fall In Love and thought with all the "ooh ahs" at the start it would be a hilarious song for The Wurzels to cover... youtu.be/tnmGDwgwSKE?...

My t-shirt has a lot of people asking questions etc…

One of my favourite 'can't decide if it's brilliant or terrible' jokes came up on my Facebook memories...

New article is There Was a Chock-a-Block Comic Strip? curiousbritishtelly.substack.com/p/there-was-... Checking in with Chock-a-Bloke and Chock-a-Girl for this early 80s extension of the series.

Four fictional characters who would definitely defect to Reform.

Mr. T was so massive in 1984 that he got his own Christmas Special, Mr. T's Christmas Dream, in which he showed a child the 'true' meaning of Christmas and sort of solved global poverty by lamenting it. It's every bit as contrived yet INSANE as it sounds. timworthington.org/2021/11/24/l...

this is bleakly funny, but also - people at the NYT, BBC News etc DO think it's an exciting time for politics, that's really one of the fundamental causes for this, they think it's a fucking parlour game

Four fictional characters who would definitely defect to Reform.

🎵Su-ella-ella-ella ooh Join Reform, join Reform, did you get very far? Join Reform, join Reform, does Nigel have a car?🎵

Seriously though...are we going to have endless stories about all these bloody defections every day now... When does it become not news...

Buy and/or share my stuff please shaggers

Lambasted (n): sheep born out of wedlock.

I still say there's a very good case to be made that this is the greatest album cover of all time.

Might be my eyesight but I just read a headline that Suella has defecated?

I feel the media overestimates my level of interest in Andy Burnham...

Monday...

Came up on my Facebook memories. What was I thinking. Can't even blame lockdown as it was 2022...

of course now you'd triggered me @quantick.bsky.social it resulted in this.

For Jim Moir/Vic Reeves' birthday, a reminder it's thirty years this year since this advert.

Not municipal-related, but this important document arrived today: #crisps

I'm watching old episodes of 'The David Essex Showcase' (course you are Ash), and there's a forgotten electropop duo called Miro Miroe. What I'm saying is, I think we've found the ULTIMATE 80's haircut. Take a look at the barnet on this lad!

What’s that you’ve got tucked away there, Netflix?

"🎶... Albuquerque!"

Watched that new Muppets trailer. The voices are all wrong. Everyone I know does a better Kermit than the current one. Miss Piggy looks like she has mumps. Fozzie's nose is too far away from his mouth. Apart from that, I'm sure it'll be great....🙄

Boomer Facebook continues to baffle and astound. Now with added AI artwork...

“It’s not right, but it’s okay.” #TOTP

STOP MAKING UP BANDS #totp

Actually watched this go out live on TV at the time! Unforgettable... Baby Bay-BEH!

When people ask me to age myself with an outdated cultural reference I usually say "I had a Street Hawk stationery set as a kid." You know the type. Exercise book, rubber, pencil, tiny little ruler. All with the 'Street Hawk' logo and motorbike emblazoned on them.

Will the new movie live up to the memory of the original He-Man, a cartoon that can best be described as "occasionally animated"?

Had a dream last night that George from Rainbow recorded an album of classic pop covers and now I'm chuckling to myself about him tackling Ordinary World by Duran Duran...

Salman Rushdie. (Came up with the slogan I mean, I realise the picture is actually a vampire Kenneth Williams).

Goldfinger is on. This guy, Richard Vernon, is 39 YEARS OLD HERE. 39! HE'S THIRTY NINE.

Trump’s Greenland speech at the WEF except it’s the voice of Pingu

Be honest. Had you actually heard of the Chagos Islands before everyone started wanging on about them recently...

Has he really only been back in power for one year, it feels like about 500... 🙄

Forgot to post the link! www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Funny this Stewart Lee article on disinformation came up on m Facebook memories (though not before having to wade through the various sponsored far right posts on there of course which is always the first thing you see on Facebook these days...)

Wishing Dolly Parton a very happy 80th birthday...

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peas."

Share a television show that raised you:

@scarredforlife.bsky.social a very Scarred For Life adjacent episode of Call The Midwife this week as it's about rabies and they just showed a clip of the 'Rabies Means Death' advert!

#OnThisDay 18 January 1988 The #KennyEverett Television Show features his spoof of #Neighbours, entitled 'Cobbers' - "Cobbers, we'd be lost without our Cobbers, We're up the creek without mates."

Not even slightly sorry.
