I was going to say it was someone who is still alive, but apparently he is.

Remember, when we get to 100 followers we'll announce the name of the celebrity that cuts in on Mottram Moor. It's a big name.

Whoever Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin use to cast "I Think You Should Leave" and "The Chair Company" deserve all the awards.

All those Adonises on the Right, trying to hold everyone to their ridiculously high standards of beauty.

Being a podcaster producer is wild because I know millions of people have heard my work, yet I'm now looking for work outside the industry.

If there's one thing I've learned from watching all these it's that they go through periods of having "good ideas", like in the mid 80s when they gave you the top twenty at the start of the programme.

The BBC - "Watch now on BBC iPlayer, or whenever you like it's up to you, you're in charge of the schedule now, it's 2025." Other media - "Didn't watch Celebrity Traitors last night? Fuck you!"

Zia Yusuf on Kuensberg to discuss "Prince" Andrew. Why? His party is not in power, not are they the opposition. It just feels lazy at this point.

I've not laughed at something as hard as I did at The Chair Company since The Driving Crooner sketch on I Think You Should Leave. Granted, it's not that long between them and they're both same people, but they're simply too good.

As much as I dislike Kemi, guessing the password to a website is not hacking.

Dear filmmakers, please stop having things appear outside the aspect ratio. It looks terrible.

I've watched every "The Godfather" over a 72 hour period, and my first time watching Part III albeit as Coda. I have to say they have the most annoying diegetic use of a film score I've ever seen.

From @theguardian.com "Farage is now enduring sustained heckling from the Liberal Democrats. He says he has never seen so many Lib Dems in the chamber." Because he's never fucking there.

This is what makes me laugh about people complaining that games cost £60. I paid £40 for Mega Man 2 on the NES in 1992, that's nearly £90 in today's money. I paid £40 for Baldur's Gate 3 last year, a game that uses as much memory as Mega Man 2 just in sex noises.

I went to the Crystal Ballroom for the Glossop Comedy Club last night. What a show. Really excellent acts, as ever.

I know you're joking (at least I hope so) but should members of the board be up for nomination?

Some people have zero self awareness or shame. This is like taking relationship advice from my twice divorced, three kids that he doesn't see uncle.

You only have to come to Glossop to know that the roads here were planned when the internal combustion engine was the fever dream of a mad man.

Company owned by the richest man in the world. Not that the ethics of it are any better but those programmers could be in four-poster beds, having lullabies sung to them by Beyonce while drinking hot cocoa made with milk from a shop I'm too poor to know even exists.

A friend and I queued up outside the Toys R Us in Manchester on release day. We were there before sunrise, we waited hours for opening. I ended up with a pink one because I got distracted by the Mario Kart 64 display case. We were the only 14 year old boys in the queue.

Having been in lots of meetings with them at MediaCity, there's absolutely no way they ever got the tram.
