Now seems as good a time as any to post the plasticine Frank Muir that I built for the ‘Amateur Frank Muir Modeller’ Viz ad back in 2006.

I've tried to describe the flavour profile of Balla Bites before and the nearest I got was 'unidentified 1970s sweet'. This unholy combination is easier: I'm going with 'mouthful of schoolmate's pick and mix while their back's turned'.
Haribo Balla Bites in chocolate. Bizarre.

This pic of Jools Holland and Robbie Coltrane from Jools’ FB feed this morning reminds me of that Brooke Bond ‘The Unexplained’ tea card with the mysterious hands.

Just watched an original 1960s Fender Jaguar get sold on Flog It for just over £1,000. That’s still about a tenth of what it’s actually worth, isn’t it? Someone bagged a bargain.

InDesign's new AI assistant, sitting silently in the background, waiting for me to ask it to 'create a box of placeholder text wrapped around a photorealistic picture of a peppermill' or something, while InDesign crashes after a simple find and replace query. As if it's not in any way responsible.

Continuing on the Popeye tip, I was delighted to rediscover in an old scrapbook that I'd kept these stickers from the early 1990s, handed out by our (then) local pizza takeaway, 'Popeye Pizza' off Mare Street, Hackney. I don't believe they were affiliated with Kings Features Syndicate.
A sticker for Popeye Pizza. Popeye is driving in his trademark red 5-door Austin Metro. His pipe is emerging from the back side of his cheek and his legs are protruding from the bottom of the car's clearly fucked chassis. The text across the top reads: "POPEYE PIZZA". A circle reads "In this AREA We are best". The slogan at the bottom says" "Hey if you want very testy & Delicious PIZZA. CALL US"A Popeye Pizza sticker. Another crudely drawn Popeye, this time in a more traditional boat, but a boat that appears to be carelessly emitting a cloud of raw effluent, which a fish is jumping out of the way to avoid. The pugnacious mariner's clay pipe still appears to be stuck in the back of one of his cheeks since it's nowhere near his mouth. The slogan reads: "Sailor-Man PROMISSING You that PIZZA Will Reach You Very Soon." another one reads: "when you CALL US".Another Popeye Pizza sticker. This time Popeye is riding a delivery moped with the slogan "DELIVERY MAN" carefully sidestepping any possible "SAILOR MAN" legal confusion. The slogan reads, semi-apologetically: "We are New But What A Taste"A final Popeye Pizza sticker with Popeye in a more easily traced, 'Trad. Popeye' pose with can of spinach in one hand and the other arm ending in a clenched fist. The ad claims: "I will Get MORE PIZZA ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY"

I was looking forward to this screening anyway, but now I'm really looking forward to it.
An email from the Prince Charles Cinema, which reads: "Hello people!
We wanted to let you know this Friday's Popeye screening will show from a very rarely screened 35mm print, which happens to feature Norwegian subtitles. We hope you'll stay with us. However, we understand the subtitles may put some people off, so if you would prefer a refund or credit note, please reply to this email and we'll be happy to arrange one. If you're happy to attend, no action is needed. Many thanks! Prince Charles Cinema."

Yeah, gothic architects. Those stone flourishes and iron curlicues are all pretty and that, but you didn't cast a thought at the time to the poor layout monkeys of the future having to draw masks round the sodding things.

This aged well.
A Fartbook post from 2023, which reads 'If you ever need a reminder of how fast technology moves, this was done a year ago' and underneath a shared Fartbook post from the year before with a 2022 AI art app that had generated a family of nine, meaty faced 1970s people from the prompt 'The Brady Bunch'. The whole thing feels like it might as well been created by Babbage's steam-powered difference engine.
