oh the years of tat Only seems like a week ago

Talking of Tomb of the Cybermen, just recalled that my dealer wrote to me in the summer of 1991 offering it for £100 an episode. And obviously, it was huge news if he really had it, and for some reason, I never asked him! Six months later...

Gosh. Did Miss Brockelhurst like The Dead Kennedys?

Random thoughts. Was Ravon the traitor in Genesis of the Daleks? The one who grassed up Ronson while pretending to want to stop the Daleks?

Random thoguhts on ageing. Excitement at parcels arriving to find one of them is just Amlodopiene.

It was quite the scandal at the time.

Random thoughts. What music did my primary school teachers like. Was Mrs Wiley secretly seething when we had to do the Jubilee thing and wanted to play the Sex Pistols? Was Miss Stray actually a fan of the Stray Cats? Half of them probably still liked Mantovani and Johnny Ray.

I can't take any more software updates.

Love a bit of cultural context. I bet Jerry was furious about having pop music playing. Ray's only about 25 though.

This is what Fred Gee looked like before he went bald.

I think the sorting office is holding everything back and sending a van round when it's all arrived there.

Didn't mean but ended up watching Deep Breath last night. Forgot how much I enjoyed it. So much better than all that 50th Slop Of The Doctor stuff that just bored me to death. The iPlayer carried on with Into The Dalek and I considered watching on and then I saw Danny Pink...and remembered the rest

Shared an office with someone who seemed to have discovered Barry White via that awful record in 2000 that just stuck a clumsy back beat behind this song. A constant trend chaser.

This does come across as "PM does not comply to the image Westminster Bubble Journalists have created for British PMs" www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmOF...

Drinking from a fetid pond sounds like something from Dr Bollock’s Profanasaurus.

When did your obsession with hot toxic women begin?

I fell behind on answering emails this week due to Life happening at me, as well as the futile scramble to catch up on post-con work tasks, thank you folks for your patience w me 🙏

New GIF Just search Matt Sawyer

Everything returned in the early 80s, usually DWM in Catford or Lewisham or Bromley or the Forbidden Planet. Tomb: phone call, mid shaving Lion: Breakfast TV 2000s finds : internet Forums This one: Bluesky around 1am yesterday 🙂

As reform are still crying about the change from Churchill on the £5 note, I googled who has featured on English notes over the years. Lots of British culture and history there. Can’t see any erasure of British culture going on. But why be honest when reform can just rage bait?

MEET THE COVER STARS! In a week of crazy things around Tales of the Suburbs it was a joy to meet Chuck and Dave, who were photographed in 1985 by Sunil Gupta and are still going strong!

Anyone else remember The Happy Apple? Lesley Ash. Playing a chirpy cockney lady for a change.

Well SOMEONE from Fawlty Towers was in it, anyway…

It sounds much more exciting at Selhurst Depot, they’re organising a bottomless brunch.

If anyone knows a DJ, or wants to try to DJ, please bring this to their attention. It is a Pioneer DDJ SX2 (for Serato) in immaculate condition, and it for sale. It also comes with an official model specific kit bag

Anyone would think you’d been talking about the return of long lost episodes of Doctor Roo or something!

I’ve got too much beard wax on, I smell like a glaziers.

Just told the TFL security people at Norwood Junction there was dealing going on on their forecourt. Didn’t move.

When you fancy a Lego figure

See also Beckenham Hospital where pedestrian access crosses the car park exit one way system on a blind corner without anything to slow drivers down.

I love this photo

I'd rather...

GIFs are glitching again

Today we celebrate the fruits of one of the finest headlines ever to follow Betteridge’s Law, because it’s the 56th anniversary of “London’s most extended satanism flap”, when about 100 people broke into Highgate Cemetery to stake a vampire 🧵

I DEMAND a reshot flashback sequence in the Season 21 Blu Ray disc of Resurrection now containing footage of Katarina and not THAT still photo. And put Leela in too.

I wondered why a) it felt nippy b) the boiler service man said "your boiler isn't on now is it, when he arrived." I've got windows open. 7c I suppose that is chilly.

The answer was right there all the time.

Worst. Conga. Ever.

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity
