It's a landmark day in Welsh broadcasting history*. (*At least according to Youngest Child, who couldn't wait to tell me about it when I got home from work.)

Beat my niece at Mario Kart so she started crying? Fool. I contain wells of grief so deep not even the Gods can see the bottom. This is just another contest you're going to lose.

Ah come on

Here, a choice was made

THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT

Me, at 1am on New Year's Night, after watching BBC2 from 11pm:

I was once on a charity walk with a man who said he was formerly Her Majesty’s Commissioner for Whales (ie the man who deals with dead whales. You tow them out to sea, apparently)

While walking to watch York City, I learnt forward to throw a (now consumed) tray of meat and potato pie and chips into a bin on Bootham when I entirely accidentally farted right in the face of a small old lady behind me. She took it in good grace.

And it reminds me that in September I searched for pictures of kingfishers shitting, for reasons I can no longer remember, and which I never got round to using, SO HERE THEY ARE AS A FESTIVE TREAT

Amazing to think that the mechanised death of WW1 was fuelled by the likes of Doris here, walloping TNT into a shell casing with a wooden mallet.

Fun fact: TNT was originally synthesised for use as a dyestuff, and it was nearly three decades before anybody discovered its explosive potential. Can you imagine staring at the smoking crater where your vat of yellow dye was, wondering what the fuck just happened?

I would be shitting pure diamond at the end of the day

Once had a wee two urinals down from former foreign Secretary, the Rt. Hon Douglas Hurd at Kings Cross Station

And! I’ve been looking all over for this and finally found it

People say that it's weird that the can opener was invented decades after the can. I say it would have been weirder the other way round

SAY WHAT

Oh hello! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cannot believe they missed ‘Up the Toga’; the attempt to to Up Pompeii in America with Frankie Howerd.

These lads are so mentally yank-coded, this is Britain lads, we don’t talk about religion, rather we pretend it doesn’t exist for us, like flatulence or bogies.

Scooby Doo’s favourite pantomime.

Which finally explains the Goon Show gag “are they flying the skull and crossbones?” “No, it’s a photo of David Nixon with his arms folded!”

David Nixon, Bob Monkhouse and Denis Goodwin join Arthur Askey on his 1954 radio show Hello Playmates.

[George C Scott voice] WUAAAAAGH! MY GROIN!

Fuck off squidward you dirty prick, I’m trying to have a slash

"My family business" as if he's running a fucking fifth generation bakery in Didcot high street and not a multinational fucking corporation based out of Singapore to avoid tax.

This has reminded me on the early morning train to Edinburgh I was on once and a guy got on at Darlington with a dog, some window cleaning brushes, and a full bucket of soapy water. Went all the way to Berwick. Was he cleaning windows in Darlington at night? Or the windows of Berwick during the day?

I’m on the train and so is this lad

well christ, don't let it drive home then

Anyway, two not-video podcasts for you: Curator and Keeper: open.spotify.com/show/32HpnHv...

Support your local podcaster. They’re up against this huge machine of posh lads, production companies with huge PR budgets, and lazy millionaire comedians. It was once a steam rally, now it’s a car show.

unironically a good idea

What a gag this is

I saw this and immediately thought of @garybrannan.bsky.social:
