The joy of having a child around who sings along with Ebenezer Goode will never fade for me.

Some cover versions inventively add a whole new dimension to a song. Others include "Masterblaster 2000” #totp

Burgesssss! Stop singing in your lunch break and get those forms on my desk now! In triplicate! #totp

Lonestar really put the count in country music. #totp (this joke courtesy of Billy Connolly)

“Amazed” is the wedding song for people who have “Angels” as their funeral song… #TOTP

It's interesting to me. The more I hear commentators slag this place off as an irrelevance of one political viewpoint, the more TwiX becomes overrun by bots and psychopaths, the more value this place has.

Gromit's Autobiography audiobook will have to go some to be a patch on Maureen Lipman's reading of The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark by Jill Tomlinson. At least two generations of our family now know it word for word.

It's quite Multipla for me, but looks pretty practical aside from the absense of door handles.

Hey Mr "Writer", advertising on Faceache. About your ad for your book with an AI slop cover, being advertised looking like a shit cafe's AI slop menu. Firstly, I'm not convinced you wrote this yourself. Secondly, fuck me, aren't there a lot of you?

Pensioners who fly across Europe for holiday complain about situation caused by climate change, in an article which doesn't mention the latter. In fact the article only mentions "extreme heat" in a quote from the tour operator. Is this balance or bullshit? Balshit...? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We spent thousands on a Tui river cruise but ended up on coach trips

Passengers have described their anger after their itineraries changed to involve hours spent on coach trips instead.

Nah,you can do a passable Scouse accent.

This is well balanced and almost meditative in it's handling of the subject. One wonders if the ongoing power grab to "secure Merseyside's public transport for the people" will lead to a reduced requirement for it's existence, although i shall not hold my breath in anticipation.

Yesterday truly was the end of an era. For over 40 years, I've been appreciating comedy where Jeffrey Archer has been the punchline. From Spitting Image to Old Harry's Game to HIGNFY to The Now Show. If he'd ever shown any sign of remorse or failure, I might even be tempted to mourn.

Of course they're not. Thats a Sainsbury's and the staff are too busy standing around discussing their ailments to actually sort out the till that replaced 70% of their colleagues.

Now that Lloyds have taken over Halifax and I've just been through the arduous struggle of getting their app anywhere near functional, I'm struggling to see our relationship lasting.

This is why it's important above anything else to have a collection that you enjoy for what it is above any monetary value it has.

I'm not a massive dvd buyer, but the pricing of the premium Blu-ray stuff always looked barmy to me, especially when the main thing being sold on it was superhero style stuff that seems to devalue to nil as soon as you leave the shop.

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

There also seems to be a ever widening selection of "rare but nobody cares" titles out there.

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

That's assuming it takes that long to get there. I do wonder whether the current market will follow the same path. I certainly struggle with seeing the plethora of reissues and anniversary editions going in such an arc.

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Bands! Endear yourselves to your fans by releasing a longer version of your album for £3 less four days after the initial release! It definitely won't piss anyone off, three days after Bandcamp Friday!

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It's the Elvis effect. 30 years after he died, the arse fell out of the market for his tat. Only a few things will retain value beyond that and it's a total gamble as to what is.

Just found out by dredging through radio schedules that Stephanie Cole is no longer with us, which is rotten news.

There's a data channel in the depts of Freeview showing episodes of Pointless from back when it was on BBC2.

Nice to see Linda Ronstadt's original of that bloody Zara Larsson song get some exposure.

And yes, i'm fucking furious this afternoon.

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Over the last couple of years i've been to my first few gigs abroad where venues are supported as a cultural asset. It's a different world and undoubtedly more civilised than the UK. Vote Tory to fuck all that even further in to the sea.

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Just because they're sporadically showing something in that pissy little picture-in-leaderboard frame doesn't make any difference to it. The coverage should be and deserves to be better. What we're getting is barely late 80s standard where we'd just watch Senna or Prost for an hour and a half. #F1

000

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The direction of the #F1 coverage this season has been bloody awful. So many tedious sequences of watching lead cars not get anywhere near overtaking each other whilst there are much closer battles going on with overtakes further down the order. Today was terrible in the last quarter of the race.

About three pairs of the 60" should do you.

The fact that nonsense like this has been going on shows the airlines up as the wild west of the transport industry that they are. Can you imagine theatres charging extra for letting groups sit together. All bollocks and another reason I don't do flying!

Every time i see Sophie Monkeycnuts articles, i find myself wondering how much the value of the office wager has got to that they can keep churning out this Kensington horsedung.

Next advert will be the usual shithousery of Dominos, McDonalds and Just Eat to reinforce your "excess weight". Cunts. All of them.

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I've just experienced Spotify advertising a Novo Nordisk podcast where they emotionally hawk you (or rather women, because it's clearly aimed at them) weight loss drugs.... sorry, "a solution excess weight". I've lost count of the number of levels of evil this is.

Jopijedd Erasmus @jopijedd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The version on ASSC is really special though, because it's a room of 800 people going nuts as you assault the senses to make sure everyone leaves the gig in a steaming, sweaty mess.

As somebody who has watched far too much of it (now up to at least six territories), each game starts off in this stilted, awkward manner. I never find the first third of a series as enjoyable as the remainder when the group understands each other better.

Today: Three trains from the green lot, two of which were short formed. One train from Chiltern, broadly fine. Five buses of various flavours, mostly reasonable. LU, a ruddy shambles and ended up paying near three times the fare because i had to use a bus between two tubes.
