Ruin a band by changing one letter Status Duo

Incoming. Another very nerdy thread. The Doctor Who "next week" captions. The ones we have are based on the availability of home videos, which means not much before 1978. Anyway here's the earliest one from 1973 #doctorwho

You can bet there were bigly negotiations about the wording on this thing.

Don't listen to this unless you have an extreme ear wax issue...

I encountered a Spraggle today just after leaving the supermikado. Probably about 15 people, I think in two groups I briefly thought about walking towards the middle of the group, but then remembered I'm not an arse, (and they are probably not, but herd mentality took hold,) so moved to one side.

Creepy message in a cabin in the woods? Anyone seen Celia Imrie? #thetraitors

You are now forced to have the same job as the main character in the last book you read. What is your job? A disgraced German officer, who is saved from the perilous task of torpedoing British ships, by the dubious offer of taking the on more perilous task of assassinating Churchill...

Knowing what they're* like in the wild, did anyone ever hear again from girl who wanted "A Hippopotamus For Christmas?" *The Hippopotamus, before you ask...

Watching All Creatures. Seigfried and guest have food poisoning. Thankfully mainly handled by sound effects...

As if we needed another reason to despise the UK Government...

Listening to Vernon Kay on Radio 2, and the subject of gloves on stings comes up... Here's what I sent... "I was on a school trip to Dudley Zoo back in the 70s when an elephant reached up from the enclosure and snatched one my gloves, then ate it! Glad it wasn't on a string... 👀👀"

"I'm trying to remember how this thing worked. I got used to a Huey."

I'm being a "Responsible Adult"

That settles it, after I finish Merlin and a few other series, I'm rewatching Babylon 5 and Stargᐰte SG1 this year.

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

"Push pineapple, er, what's the next line?"

Your second favorite aircraft?

How it started How it's going...

No more excuses. STOP POSTING ON X. We call on the UK Government to leave X and ban it in the UK. gregpak.net/2026/01/10/s...

My only thought for the Bluesky arrivals notice board is “it’s ok to repost more often.” [my understanding is the algorithms (if there are any) don’t pick up on ‘likes’ in the same way as old Twitter. A ‘like’ is lovely, but a *manual* repost is the primary ‘algorithm’ to actively share something]

It’s 10 years since David Bowie’s death - and an awful year of celebrity losses. metro.co.uk/2026/01/10/1...

Put my shoes on the radiator last night so they were lovely and toasty this morning. Tried the night before but my daughter swapped mine for hers...

Watching Four Weddings and a Funeral. Only the second time. First time was *I think* on the box not long after it came out. Some parts are familiar, some are taking me by surprise. Many of both involve David Haig... 👀👀

Just cleared part of the pavement outside. About half the width and the two neighbours as well. Inspired by the neighbour up a few who did a few houses up the road.

Watching Silence of the Lambs

🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏

Today I learned that the 1976 Eurovision winning entry by Brotherhood of Man, is not only the best selling single of '76 in the UK, but also called Save Your Kisses For Me, not Save *All* Your Kisses For Me.

Here's a welcome diversion. A gentle rhino playing with a muntjac deer (the little overly ambitious critter).

If you're going out today, especially if you're pedestrianising, be careful. Even the high volume pavements round our way are still covered, though it's mostly crunchy. Tomorrow will be fun... not!

I'm very happy to watch TV via the Internet, not that I watch much live TV,but many cannot.

It's really alien to think about now, but we really did just watch whatever was currently on the TV. Even if we didn't like it. You'd watch a movie while it was halfway through. Even if it was your tenth time rewatching this episode.

Going to Argos, flipping through the laminated catalogues, picking your item(s), writing down the item numbers with the dinky pens, going over to the counter, paying, then waiting for the prize to come down the conveyor belt from the stores upstairs. Similar to Service Merchandise in the US.

Two things that need to be said...

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

Zorin will return in AVENGERS DOOMSDAY.

The theme is very 70s, but not funky enough...

Watching 9 episodes of Star Trek The Animated Series before they leave Netflix...

Just seen an advert for TikTok where a woman is standing on a bed underneath a ceiling fan, and the fan has streamers of some sort on the rotating blades. Almost round her neck on two occasions. Very dangerous...

It's a bit Compo, Clegg & round here...

Even those toasters can do 6 or slices on a conveyor belt are only about 1m³, so 240m³ The moon is — if I've done the calculation correctly — 21,958,000,000,000,000m³.

Another famous train was fitted with wings, but didn't really take off...

Just been reminded of the cunky cast iron radiators you'd get in school! In weather like this you'd take of your gloves and hat, and almost burn yourself getting hot. And there's nothing like the feeling of putting on warm gloves before heading out jnto the snow...
