Wit, raconteur, bon viveur. He is none of these things. A purveyor of cheap mummery and piffle since 1976. Throws random words at a screen for Set The Tape. Bluesky’s foremost Biggles: Adventures In Time aficionado.

I am appalled that Martin Freeman is reading Gromit's autobiography. It should be read by a voiceless claymation puppet, and it should take 3,000 years for animators to manipulate his mouth frame by frame.

Big fan of the traditional ‘put the Star Trek cast in civvies and make them look like a sitcom’ photoshoot.
The early cast of Deep Space Nine lounging about a sofa in various shades of blue.The cast of Star Trek Voyager lounging about a sofa in various shades of browns and beiges.The cast of Enterprise lounging about in lots of linen and denim, and looking like the cast of One Tree Hill or something.

In the 1985 Doctor Who serial Vengeance on Varos, an authoritarian regime run by a weak man keeps the downtrodden population in line by broadcasting public executions to distract from the fact that it has tanked the economy through a combination of incompetence, arrogance and institutional cruelty.

Apparently Two-Stage Self-Assembly Ice Cream Cones were officially branded as the 'Coola Bar'. Which it has to be said is exactly the sort of trying to be cool but ending up feeling like school type of name that the ever-square Lyons Maid would have given it. timworthington.org/2019/10/03/l...

Yes ADHD and Autism are being over diagnosed. It’s a big game of It. I’ve been breaking into people’s homes, pointing at them while they sit at their kitchen tables and going “NOW YOU HAVE IT” before fleeing. They can’t stop me because of woke. I won’t rest until everyone has been diagnosed.
