Opened my earbuds case. Shit, no earbuds! Help, did I leave them somewhere last night? They are in my ears

Still one of the baddest recordings (Minnie the Moocher) and one of the coldest intros (Cab Calloway dancing to St. James Infirmary). Said to be the first known footage of Cab Calloway . . . *imagine* what it must have been like to see Cab layin' this down on screen for the first time in 1932?!! ☠️

Ha! I can now hear Noël Coward saying "inscrutable" in my head and am enjoying that v much

Dumped a guy due to his inscrutable gifs

It's Sunday afternoon, perfect time to have a bath and/or watch this short film which features a bath

I had this one! I was a teenager and I think I wrote three cheques in total. Each one felt like such a grown up pleasure

One of these is the kooky option, that could get you laughed out of the country club. Another is so frumpy your husband will cheat on you. All the others are fine

Ha ha ha! I TRIED but the guy kept giving me something else

Less than 90 years ago and bottom left was how you'd spend all day washing your clothes. I'm weirdly annoyed that the handle/stick for the posser isn't included with the dolly tub set. What are we supposed to do, Littlewoods? Go to the handle shop?

Scarily accurate direct quote from my Northern Irish aunts and uncles as soon as they open the door to let me in

If Westminster succeeds in banning 'vertical drinking' etc from Soho, then drinking, revelry and entertainments may be forced south of the river. I hear the Lord Chamberlain's Men have built a fine playhouse in Southwark, where divers pleafant spectacles are prefented

Around 2003 I used to be one of those charity muggers and once the day was enlivened by BB literally leaning bodily out of the window of a passing car shouting YOU'RE ALL DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB

Ah - put the tent in the middle of a field, both call to the tent from different directions, and see who the tent runs to

030

I've only just noticed the word "few" in there. Omg Kitty you are savage. Where are you?

181

Genuinely had copied that exact sentence in order to paste it once you got down to the jury comments. My favourite ever thing said by the jury, and I fully expect it to enter into my regular lexicon when talking about boyfriends. Plus they're 100% right

180

There would not be any problem, they could go to the festival and share the tent just as they did before, IF they didn't now both have boyfriends. They need to break up with these men for the sake of the tent

Just the first two series of the Australian one. They've been showing it on BBC Three, so I'm hoping they'll put more series up when they show them

It's saying something that imo it's worse than any from the 90s

"Caesar's wife must be above a 7"

Omg I was laughing all the way through that entire bit "You're sick! You're sick for this!" And you're quite right - every question in that round ended up hilarious

I would like to add that my favourite round is in S2, when they do gym

220

The bit in Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee S1E6 where Aaron Chen spins a globe for each question of a round is so funny that I'm currently rewatching it (iPlayer). The accompanying music is part of what makes it. It's just so silly and well done

If she presents a late night chat show she could call it North West Tonight (with Gordon Burns)

Gordon Burns presenting BBC North West Tonight. I remember one Christmas I went home from London and the main headline for an entire week on NW Tonight was a seal in a field. How did it get there? What next for the seal in a field?

060

Just realised if North West writes an autobiography, she could call it North by North West

I vote Murder by Death counts as this too, even though Sam Diamond is a bit different

Finally someone's talked me in to seeing Wings of Desire

They are so you can make a Pepper's Ghost! bsky.app/profile/alis...

After the bad taste finally left my system I got back into Columbo, but it's horrible to think that ep is out there, that it might be some people's first experience of the show. They'll watch it and think "*This?!* is the show everyone recommends?!"

120

The fact that it's a 70s ep too - the golden era, before it got a bit self indulgent and silly - makes it feel like a betrayal. There's almost a feeling of malice there, like "we know you love this character, so now he's an annoying, creepy dick. Still love him?!"
