Britannia Shield intercepts the first five missiles for free, but costs £15.99bn + p&p for each additional missile.

Maybe my favourite Ford. A film that never does what you think it will, and a sharp rejoinder to the idea that Wayne couldn’t act or only played ‘himself’.

How many times a week do you reckon this guy says ‘but babe I thought we agreed on this’ after she berates him for doing something stupid and/or selfish.

Ritchie Blackmore is the most humourless prick in rock history. There’s an unintentionally hilarious documentary, THE RITCHIE BLACKMORE STORY, which is worth watching for comedy value.

Also added a couple of cheap city pop albums to max out the postage and am now the surprised owner of a Yumi Matsutoya jigsaw.

The Smith and Blaney stuff felt like an act of abuse, like he’d given MES some booze, recorded them dicking about, and got him to agree to let him release it.

After listening to the Smith and Blaney album (once), I am not touching anything Ed Blaney was involved in. Also, Cog Sinister is now run by a Reform councillor.

We got it quite late in Granadaland, and I always found it quite annoying, I could never work out what was happening. I liked how Swap Shop told you what was on when. This said, I was 6 when Tiswas finished, so not sure how solid my memories are!

If only there were a term for this analogy.
Paragraph from Putin interview: He drew the analogy of a gun sitting on a theatre stage - if it was hanging there at the start of the show, it would certainly be fired at the end.

A couple of tells are the 'we are sorry you feel that <repeat what we wrote back to us>' and the itemised list of things that have been discussed.

At home we are having to do a lot of email back-and-forths with different organisations at the moment, and the 'are we being fobbed off with an AI answer' conversation comes up with pretty much every one.

It's fun, and I like the original idea of the Halloween title becoming a horror comic-style banner for different stories rather just more Myers, because frankly I have no interest in anything else in the series after it.

Very interesting to see UK releases of Billy Tang’s revolting HK anti-classics RED TO KILL and RUN AND KILL, both of which I dont think I have seen since VCD days.

I’m sure other people have said this but the addition of four new songs to SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE rounds it up to a triple LP.

Since there is a conversation on here about AI easily replacing service roles, let me clarify what’s going on: LG refuse to let me register the warranty of a new fridge freezer because the AI agent they have assigned to ‘help’ believes that the 24 September 2026 is in the future.

Jarrod 'Toadfish' Rebecchi from the Australian soap Neighbours, played by Ryan Moloney

He actually ended up playing the character for *30 years* - starting in 1995 and leaving only last year

I’m a strong believer that the 4 tracks from the OG A Something’s Extra EP should be listened to between discs one and two of Songs in the Key of Life rather than at the end, not least because the album is obviously supposed to end with Another Star and not Easy Going Evening.

Absolutely. It's not just the loss of shared broadcasts where everyone received the same music (TOTP, chart rundown, even MTV). Even things like juke boxes in pubs, piped music in shops, or music video channels in gyms are largely gone.

I think he eventually decided he could reverse into a nearby car park and turn round.

A bus driver once asked for volunteers to put on a hi-vis vest and stop traffic on the main road whilst he reversed out of the cul-de-sac he’d accidentally turned into.

Funny/not funny that he's a senile racist grandad and everyone has to just go along with it.
US President Donald Trump tells reporters that the men arrested near
RAF Fairford on Sunday were "looking to do big damage".
"We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort, and working with the British worked out great," he says.
"It may have been Scotland Yard, I don't know. We worked with a lot of them. We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.
"It was fantastic. Working with Britain, it was an amazing
