I do enjoy time by myself sometimes, but it’s always lonely when Jacob has gone back to his mums on a Sunday. 😢

Jim Allenby @frakturedboy.bsky.social · 18h

Today’s run - My third run of the week. This time a 6K from Jacob’s to mine. Not a bad run considering I had a pack on my back, but my shoulders and back are aching a bit right now.

Put the lights down and put on The Happiness Patrol special edition last night. Then finished your ep this morning and both were great fun. One minor flaw beyond the sound of the pipe people were moments when certain faces and lights couldn't find each other.

Ah so it's ending in season 4 then? Excellent. I don't want it to stretch itself and overstay its welcome. 😊

Very strong opening section for this podcast! …. And that’s why this is the best Doctor Who commentary podcast. 😊

Big shout out to @jeffgoddard.bsky.social & @frakturedboy.bsky.social for this week’s WITB. As a 15 year old in 1988, I HATED The Happiness Patrol. Whilst I’ll never love it, I appreciate much more & enjoy it through adult eyes. The guys give a brilliant commentary and raise great pertinent points.

As a fully paid up, card carrying gay, I can’t believe I’ve never looked at Happiness Patrol as an attack on Section 28 🤯 I was only 10 in ‘88 but absolutely in my teenage years I heard nothing about being gay at school or college. Thank you @frakturedboy.bsky.social and @jeffgoddard.bsky.social

Bluesky needs a “remove follower” option like the Twitter. Not because I want to remove any of you, but there are a lot of accounts that follow me that are either bots or just trying to push some product. I don’t want to go around blocking but it’s getting too much.

I’ve just started watching season three of House of the Dragon, and it may be because I became overly familiar with GOT, but this feels like a much more competently put together show. Especially compared to the last few seasons of GOT. It’s excellent!

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay. What can I say that I’ve not said before? For me it often starts as circular thoughts (fears, anxiety, worries) and becomes a whirlpool that’s hard to escape if you fall into the core. I’m not perfect. But…I’ve done a lot of work on myself over the last year+. 💚

I went down a rabbit hole on the Internet Archive looking for the first Knightmare site I visited in 1998. I found a blog I wrote in 2004! Bloody hell, different days. 😂 Maybe it's time to dust off my newer blog and start writing again. Maybe short weekly updates rather than long posts. 🤔

Jim and I are doing it old school and going solo with The Happiness Patrol. So much to talk about and i'm still not sure we can do this story the justice it deserves, but if anyone can, the Kandyman can! Sweet treats await, if you can reach our soft centres!

Jim Allenby @frakturedboy.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

This week Jeff and I are tackling all three parts of The Happiness Patrol. A story, once derided by some fans, that has undergone a bit of a renaissance. It's an important story with a very important message... Side note - We adore the Kandyman! @jeffgoddard.bsky.social anchor.fm/drwho-whats-...

Two bits that absolutely kill me: "My friends tell me that I Must be strong It's not so easy when your Whole dream has gone wrong" and "In the darkest hour of the night I want you, I need you, I miss you" I've been there. I've absolutely been there.

Don’t forget to catch up on the latest episode of WITB as we tackle parts 3 and 4 of Remembrance. And Jeff reveals some amazing head canon that I’ve been thinking about a lot! And tomorrow…grab your liquorice allsorts…the Kandyman awaits…

Ah thanks! 🤩 It’s a cracking song. Some really sad lyrics but against such a catchy tune!!

Todays run. Although just a 5K I’ve had a very off week within myself, and after biking to work in strong winds, rain and trekking across the town I really had to dig deep for this one. Not my best but it’s done at least.

This afternoon’s run. Just a 5K. I was heading to the beach but the police had cordoned it off! 😮 So I diverted through the caravan park and towards the yacht club. Considering I was feeling knackered I was happy with my pace.

Those four mile 6am bike rides to work are definitely worth it sometimes.

Just finished watching this supernatural series from 2016. Brilliant! Without spoiling it deals with a haunting in a very different way. And also tackles grief exceptionally well. The storyline is wrapped up but sadly it ends on a cliffhanger. It never got a second series. 🫤

Me and Jacob found this in a charity shop for £2.50. Absolute bargain considering it’s from 1984/85! 🧩

I’ve got this huge desire to rewatch This Country again even though I only watched it a few months back. 😅

Jim Allenby @frakturedboy.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I’ve never watched The Traitors before. I have a (silly) tendency to push away from things that the public rave about. However I gave the very first episode a go, and despite some of the contestants irritating me it was quite good. I’ll need to watch a few more to see if I get hooked though.

It’s Friday, so hopefully you’ve already listened to us discussing the wonderful first two parts of Remembrance of the Daleks. Have you? Have you?! Good. Because this weekend we’re tackling parts 3 and 4! Standby for twists, more Keff and the Special Weapons boy…!

Ooooh how brilliant! I'm loving the series so far. I keep seeing Paul McGann as Nightingale.

All of a sudden it's summer again. I'm ready for the cooler, autumn weather, BUT it was a nice run out in the sun this afternoon. Also I'm pleased to report that any pains I had just before and after the half marathon have now gone. 😁

I don't want to jump too far ahead (because we still have seasons 25 and 26 to release), but this years WITB Christmas special will see @jeffgoddard.bsky.social and I tackle an absolute favourite... The Daleks! Just a little peek in the future... 🤫
