Archer Phrasing
Alt: From Archer. Kruger, Lana and Archer stand in front of a small propeller plane. Archer is saying "so, we're just done with phrasing, right? That's not a thing anymore?"

After fiddling and faffing about for ages, I've finally managed to get Starship Titanic installed on my phone. Now I can have terrifyingly prescient conversations wherever I am!
From Starship Titanic. In the fancy art deco lobby, the bellbot faces you. The lower part of the screen is the interface, your PET (Personal Electronic Thing). On the left is a picture of the robot you're talking to, and on the right are icons for available robots to talk to. In the centre is the conversation between you and the bellbot. It is as follows: 

(Bot) Yo! Surf's up! 
-have you heard of the spice girls
(Bot) How quaint. You still let humans make the music. You ought to go up to the music room and hear it done properly.

I might make it to 79, but the way the world is right now, I won't hold my breath. Actually, I shouldn't anyway, as that would almost certainly prevent it.

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included? What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford? Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris? Let's take a look👀 🧵 1/22

I'm thrilled to bits about meeting Paul McCartney last night. Looking back I feel like I should have said more than "great to meet you, but don't mind me, I just work here."

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
Telegraph headiline:

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

The lone remaining duckling set out from the pond, determined to find its family. Its plaintive cheeps continued into the distance as it was lost from view in the dusk. Finally, there was silence. Be brave, little bird.

#MAFSAus Juliet gets the ick with Joel after seeing his dildo drumming video. In his defence he tells her it was slapstick comedy. Then he tells her something she doesn't know about him, that he dropped out of music college. There's a common thread here.

Alt: From The Long Good Friday. Mobster Harold Shand, played impeccably by Bob Hoskins, sits in the back of a taxi, his face a tableaux of emotions, as off-screen a young IRA assassin, played by Pierce Brosnan, holds him at gunpoint.

Alt: Legolas, the archer elf from Lord Of The Rings with long blonde hair, is holding a bow and arrow in his hand. Except it's actually Stephen Colbert, and he's pretending the bow is a cello and bowing it with an arrow. It's sillier the longer you look at it.
