A Happy New Post-Literate Year to you all, when it comes.

Harvey Price time then. In 2016, I had an ill fated stint as the Social Media Producer on Loose Women on ITV. It was a disaster, I should never have applied for the job, I certainly shouldn’t have been given it. I could do the actual job standing on my head, but the politics of the place…woof.

Parties from the future, illustrated by Syd Mead.

Some new pics of the only Syd Barrett solo gig, circa 1970, have surfaced, and they are so cool. Jerry Shirley on drums, Dave Gilmour on bass

<removes stethoscope from ears> Aaaah, I see the problem. There isn’t enough Just Mustard in your life

Opening presents from yer da.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Stored in the balls, the pee is.

The Snowman and Father Christmas take place in the same universe. In Father Christmas, Jim and Hilda Bloggs from When the Wind Blows are shown in the pub. This therefore suggests that, canonically speaking, the real ending of The Snowman is a massive nuclear war.

Stick Man lives with his family in a tree in the same way that humans live in houses made of flesh.

I hope all your children have had a great morning.

Renfrew has a Reform councillor- he’s in the local paper today. Look at his coupon, man 🤣

The Loyal Rumble ™

It appears loads of people have done a version of this joke. I’m really sorry. Pleased I went for a fairly niche river, though.

Dance should be free, man. Regimenting and choreographing it belongs with the Georgians, man.

Being forced to watch the Strictly final and I think it’s given me type 2 diabetes.

Italian partisans who fought against nazis and fascists.

This is like the worst Rorschach test ever. Incredibly irresponsible reporting from every paper going with a demonstrably very silly story. Halfway around the world before there’s a leg in the troosers, though, innit?

Feb ‘26 An organic smock-wearing David Walliams repeats some quasi-Christian oath just before Russel Brand baptises him a tributary of the Taff

I like domesticated animals. Got a good hours-long argument in me that the evolution of modern humans would be impossible without cats and dogs, in particular.

I love this podcast anyway but Paestum is one of the coolest places I’ve ever been. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

…and so he should. 6 game ban for saying Masterton and Calderwood were wrong ‘uns Possibly the most righteous football ban ever.

Probably said this before but the best key change in history is I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones cos it happens ONE MINUTE IN and stays in the new key for the rest of the song. I will be accepting square goes about this.

✊ The gammon-baiting image of the age.

Crocodile Dundee. Might end up wrestling a crocodile in Angus next year

Don’t.

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

I’ve had an all-timer of a shiter today. Possible top 2, definite top 5. So, the fitba absolutely checks out. Come Persephone, let me feel thy sweet, firm grasp.

It’s too late to leave a pretty corpse. Fucked it.

Wow.

Wild that I’ll find boycotting GTA VI extremely easy but will end up having to talk others into it.

First 3 words in this basically tags this person as in the group most likely to commit violent acts. Weirdly overlooked imho. Mad that psychos would be ok living next to an ex-marine but are scared of brown people

Whose idea was making kindness and empathy seem radical? I wish them thunderous cactus piles.

What’s wild about this is the more liberal end of management think forcing presenters like Ince & Lineker out will placate the headbangers when in reality these people will not stop until the BBC is stripped for the copper wiring and sold

My main memory of Stanley Baxter was an insanely racist sketch that lasted about 8 minutes where minorities (Baxter in black/brown face) all told jokes about each other.

Do you know what I do miss from Twitter? The American “medical fatphobia” people. Always filled an empty lunchtime. If you’ve never sought them out, you are really missing out.

My evening being mildly improved by how shite my VPN is

God’s Work

London, Paris, New York, Rome. It’s good to go travelling but ye gotta come home youtu.be/xRqp37HevUQ?...

Just once I’d like an athlete to say “hail Satan” at the beginning of a post game interview, is that too much to ask

Bloody hell 😵‍💫

In my bingeing dry 20th century history docs era

Honk if you love honkin

Going with the trusted 3-1-2-1-1-1-1 formation for his first game 🤣 I love him already
