So there’s a cheesy early 90s thriller out there, where Aragorn takes on the yakuza, and not one of you told me?

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

Well I’ll tell you something not so funny. Right now Prince Andrew is crying like a little girl!!!

Can’t I’ve never had a backstreet guy (though my mama never told me why)

‘Nouvelle Vague’ turned out to be a very good film to free myself of a bad mood.

And one of those is mine, you know. Get on it (Am I doing this right?)

I'm back in Nairobi this week for the inquest's continuation - any journalists interested in covering feel free to DM or email me at pdkmitchell at gmail dot com

Let’s see your profile pic in its full-size glory.

My I-can-stay-up-late-(ish)-because-I-don’t-have-to-set-an-alarm-during-half-term Monday evening’s entertainment

Light and uplifting entertainment for a Sunday evening

The wonderful thing about Tyggers Is Tyggers are burning bright Their tops are made out of rubber In the forest of the night What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, Immortal hand or eye Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers, Their fearful symmetry!

Finished off the lamb with a veg curry, veg rice, and green beans flash fried with ginger and mustard seeds and I am very popular with my family right now

Watching ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ for the first time since I found out Liam Gallagher thought it was real

Found a half price yellow sticker lamb leg in ASDA, always know what to do with one of them

Bill Hader doing an impression of Oliver Reed explaining the difference between acting on stage & acting on film. Love how he cracks Paul Giamatti up.

Bloody nepo babies

Booked a random few days in Morocco next month, flying into Marrakesh which I have seen, so thinking of going to Essaouira, but if anyone has any recommendations of a warm, fun, relaxing place to mince about in that stretch of Morocco please let me know.

I think this is a Batman / Bruce Wayne situation, Kermit was the real him and ‘Jim Henson’ just how he went about his day the rest of the time so no-one mobbed him in the street

Every photo of this man makes him look like that photo of Cilla Black when she stole that guy’s table in a restaurant and refused to move

Plans to invade Greenland have just been cancelled after this

Pretending I have a missing cat so Ring will recap the neighbour’s 2am in-the-street argument I was too groggy to properly take in at the time

Update, just noticed BorrowBox lets me read The Viz

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

After a very long day now getting my fix and watching the other half of this coin, and my god but what a magnificent opening

Nearly didn’t go out tonight because of the shitty weather but very glad I did because otherwise I may never have seen (one of) Ken Russell’s masterpiece(s) ‘Women In Love’ and Oliver Reed / Alan Bates indulging in an absolutely tremendous game of gay chicken

Just remembered the Polanski letter, and how it was stuffed full of people I otherwise like and admire, and had the nightmarish thought they all might end up being Epstein emailers

The metros are off because of a fire. They’ve made me get on a replacement bus. The bus has breaks that sound like a screaming goat.

The way this show mashes together ‘Lone Wolf and Cub’ and ‘Jeeves and Wooster’ is proving unexpectedly heartwarming and charming

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

Yay

No babysitting for once (too hungover m) so wandered down to 1b Books then the pub, novelty of having a bookshop nearby not worn out yet

Someone on here clued me in that there’s a couple of apps let you listen to audiobooks from local libraries, so been enjoying BorrowBox and ended up listening to the audiobook of ‘Silverview’ by John le Carre. Read by the lovely Toby Jones.

Happy Birthday Muriel Spark!

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.' Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

Off out for dinner and a show with a handsome man, then got a mate’s 40th tomorrow, so farewell Dry January it’s actually been pretty good

Seven years ago today, what a difference we made in the world

Ahem

🙂‍↔️

Keep getting halfway through funny cat/traffic/outtake videos and realising they’re AI

Watched 101 Dalmations today and never related to anyone more than the woman reading in the park who casts immediate horny side eye at the gangly beanpole of a man walking his dog

The twink I follow on instagram who trampolines in little shorts doesn’t get his mates to give him a cuddle after he finishes any more, I hope they haven’t fallen out

Oh fuck off Microsoft

Just plonking a screenshot of the text like this makes it seem much less funny, but I’m in bits at Lucy’s out-and-out murder at the hands (tongue?) of her own mother near the close of ‘A Room With A View’.

Just that kind of a night

Tuesday

Four fictional characters who would definitely defect to Reform.

Still on the Greek Myths. I feel if you'd lived with the name "Anius" you'd be careful when it came to naming your own children
