I beat him to the Entire Cinematic HP. I beat him to Heavy Metal too. Of course, when I did my Potter-thon, she hadn't completely lost her marbles about it. And most of the bad stuff either hadn't happened or hadn't come out yet. But that was back in 2012.

It's almost as if Faces of Death taught us nothing, and that was largely, if not completely, faked!

Lest we forget, for all the horrors of the modern world, it's still far more amenable than previous generations in many, many ways: ordinaryabundance.com

Ordinary Abundance

A walk through a modern apartment, through the eyes of the people for whom everything in it was new.

Would that we all had such times.

As our Lord and Saviour, Kenny Everett, intended. It's a shame he never got into Computer music, but y'know, it was the 80s and we didn't have the internet. Can you Imagine Cuddly Ken on Twitch? Oh, the possibilities...

a good 4k camcorder at a decent price (sub-£300) would propel me to the next level!

You do that, I'll be searching for Cake, on Central.

I remember British Comedian Jasper Carrott (Father of Actress Lucy Davies, doncherknow) being flummoxed by the Concept of the Turtles, as far back as the 90s. Also, one must ask Davies for her Recollections of "Lollipop"... (IYKYK)

Oh, Toys am We, another victim of the Leveraged Buyout. Would for a world that made such a practice illegal.

And the Fash (or at least the Tories) never get tired of being wrong.

Why thank you, I do like to keep the systems primed, one never knows when an emergency might occur. Also, y'know, Pat, eurgh, absolute Transphobia, better to interrupt with an emergency broadcast test than subject people to it.

@theoptimist7.bsky.social Yeah, er, you might want @katana217bsvs.bsky.social, Brother K-dogg is the Night-time/18+ guy.

Well, if the government won't enforce the law, and the POLICE won't enforce the law (and by the looks of it they won't), then the people are going to have to enforce the law, and the people aren't going to be nice about it. I just hope that there are more sensible folk than the other kind.

That is what will eventually cause all of these big corpos to crumble. And the CUSTOMER will remember.

We tend to forget, but An ENTIRE BRITISH TELEVISION CHANNEL, Technically the last of the great Analogue Terrestrial Channels to reach the air, Channel 5, is entirely owned by what looks set to become Skydance. If OFCOM had any teeth at all, they'd force a sell-off.

Simon J Broome @funkym217.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Paramount is a name that stretches back to the birth of Cinema, with rich history. Skydance, with the best will in the world, is not. Disney have been Disney for over a Century now, because it was their founder's name. Changing for the sake of Change, for want of a better Phrase...

Well, in a world where so many comedians have podcasts, I still hold a Fondness for the Richard Herring Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (RHLSTP, PRONOUNCED!!! "Ruh-huh-lus-tup")

But have you heard of the new Footage-based C64 and Sinclair ZX81 ports?

Calling it now, Doom IS an Alt-U Tony Stark, and Titannus is coming.

Nobbut one answer for coprophilia - FIRE. And lots of it!

Simon J Broome @funkym217.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You'd do a better video about Dragon's Lair and Space Ace anyway. You could crossover with @stopskeletons.bsky.social and talk about the new wave of "impossible" ports. Have you heard about those?

Little Caturday (Saturday), As Wednesdays are colloquially known in Sweden. (reportedly)

Might I suggest my own channel, Funky Monkey's House of Love?

001

This should've been the Control Trailer. Hey, it worked for Ant-Man.

One can but hope that Republican Greed and Stupidity finally catch up with them.

For all that the Gallaghers are, for want of a single word to describe them, The Gallaghers, Wonderwall was a fine piece of Musical Artistry.

I've tried going Pseudo-clickbait, but I can't bring myself to go Full clickbait, although it would help teach people patience to sit through a 45-second intro and a good 30ish seconds of pre-amble.

This is a song that I might have heard once in the last week. And it was on my pseudo-muso mate's Wednesday night Twitch show, which is more concerned with 80s chart music and ELO, but does take requests.

Simon J Broome @funkym217.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Well isn't THIS Your Lucky Day? I'm Funky Monkey, and There are Several Seasons of my House of Love just waiting for you at my Youtube Channel! Also, I have a Patreon with uncut episodes and a Special Patreon Only review of the Return of Optimus Prime: patreon.com/holandhot

Give the money to the people. And the homes. The energy takes care of itself because renewable. After that, the good art flows.

Simon J Broome @funkym217.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Oh no! And before His Turrican II C64 soundtrack ever got remastered. 😭😭😭

Mass produced chairs are functional at best. Artisan-crafted Furniture has a touch of Art about it. AI Slop is functional, even if it offends me. Artisan-crafted words enrich my soul.

Dare I ask about dear Carol Cleveland?

000

There's a fine line between Stupidity and Ingenuity, Or is it a difference of opinion? Maybe it's ingenuity when it works and Stupidity when it doesn't.

CSI: Mars City might be fun though.
