Monday

Bring back the sort of BBC that can have Terry Wogan being propelled through a wall by a fart from a massive arse as part of its light entertainment lineup.

Just be careful when you drop in to see the Broadcasting Under-Manager.

And seeing how Nandy has already turned me down for a post in DCMS, I also assume my application for the DG’s job will meet the same cruel fate.

Got these new trainers today but I can't get it out of my head that they look like fuckin DC Tosh Lines from The Bill

I dunno, totally up for little old bald fellers getting slapped on the head imho

Oddly, yes

We used to be a real country.

Or can he? @barneyfarmer.bsky.social

“You may not realise it, but I was once a weak man!” “Oh, come now, once a week’s enough for any man!”

Just not enough small bald men around anymore, sadly. You can’t even hit a tuning fork on a table and put it on their baldy head and they go all wobbly, cos of woke.

You møve! Nø, you møve! I cån’t møve, yourë in the wäy!

People go ‘oh you couldn’t do Benny Hill these days!’ but my littlest is watching an episode of ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’ and they’ve just done a note-perfect Benny Hill chase, with a very close approximation of the music.

Tarbuck on The One Show rolling out all his old stories about Liverpool. Well, not *all* of them

The real ones know that if you look in the dictionary, under ‘Catchfart’ is this man’s picture

What a day, Barry Cheese out of Cheese and Onion AND Kenny Cantor!

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

Didn't know there was more than one Barry Cheese in the world. His website looks exactly how you'd expect it to. www.kennycantor.uk

Big naturals is BBC exec slang for any new David Attenborough series

one of the "The Comedians" and "big in Rhodesia" eh? *tugs collar*

bsky.app/profile/gary... Of course, the NZ one had a British host, Lowestoft-based 'international entertainer' Kenny Cantor (one of the lesser members of Granada's The Comedians, and a big star in Rhodesia in the 70s)

It’s time for a cantor

STEEEEEELMEMBER!

What the people actually want is the @garybrannan.bsky.social and Chris Joel F1 commentary. I am convinced that Chris doesn't really care about sport; which to be fair, makes him the perfect pundit. speedcafe.com/f1-news-2025...

Pulitzer Prize photo right here.

Ah, which reminds me of the best tweet of all time.

It may be 22 years old, but damn, that's still one fine arse. Classic VIZ comic strip ‘Vidal Baboon' print signed by Barney Farmer and Lee Healey etsy.me/4hus2zU

WHEEEEEY

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.

From the top rope

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the first time in American history a sitting governor has used that particular -- and particularly apt -- phrase in a public speech

@sgdesigns.bsky.social A lovely 5 post thread, pics & short vid, of historical railway magic running on the rails today inc the new build replica of the first steam train now carrying passengers. :)

‘But not everyone was as pleased, @prettyhatmachine.bsky.social for one, who wrote, ‘Dear BBC, I am a

Anyway, lads, went for a ride on a train today. Look at this! Flying Scotsman looking gorgeous, a simmering beauty that moved like a sewing machine

The time South Africa gave a medal to previous FIFA wrong’un Sepp Blatter, copying his full name into citation from his recently vandalised Wikipedia page. So there’s previous.

Well, this just made me evening, and even warmed that lump of carbon I’ve got for a heart.

ITS A COYOTE! CHASING A ROAD RUNNER!

If you like Hancock and haven’t joined, give it a whirl. Loads of good content, they do things really well, and the gravy at the dinner moves about a bit.

You do know I’m the one on the left, yes?

On that note, hats off to the @tonyhancock.bsky.social lads, they’re brilliant, really good fun, very active and can knock ‘em back at the bar, too

And on that subject - you know you’ve made it when…..

Tony: Penny for the guy, penny for the guy! Bill: Tub... Tony: What? Bill: Let's go home Tony: Go home? We've only been out a couple of hours Bill: I know, but I'm getting fed up sitting in this pram! #BonfireNight

Thought Peter Hitchens had a pair of dungarees on for a minute!

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

The Satanic Rite-y Titeys of Dracula

I've never been a fan of the double-header of the glorification of war and the unthinking mandated conformity that both come of wearing a poppy. So instead I'm wearing the white poppy, in the hope of a world that doesn't have to solve its problems by murdering itself.
