Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 23hAn interesting learning moment during #CelebrityTraitors last night: 10yo: Is Bella a man or a woman? Me: They're non-binary. They don't identify as a man or a woman. OH: That's why we use "they" as a pronoun when referring to them. 10yo: Oh, okay! [Everyone goes back to watching] 150
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 02/10/2026It's proper water cooler TV, and as of last night our 10yo is in on it! 130
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 02/10/2026Good grief. Not content with stealing Christchurch's international airport, Bournemouth are now after Wimborne's Tivoli theatre! 000
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 02/10/2026Yes, it's a deal less cutthroat and the people are much more comfortable in front of the cameras. I imagine it's a gateway though and we'll all now be watching the original version come January! 020
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 02/10/2026Yes, we watched with our 10yo for the first time. He was well into it from the start! 220
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 01/10/2026It didn't help that they put shivering under E, and then had to scramble for an appropriate adjective for breathlessness. 050
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 01/10/2026Try it for yourself: there's a 4 minute preview!

Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 01/10/2026Ah, good ol' Richard Armitage. Mostly famous in this household for his Audible Sleep Sounds podcasts, wherein he talks incessantly and distractingly over, amongst other scenarios, the noise of a downpour of "icy cold sleet" on a small tent ("only a thin skin of polyester") on a Scottish island. 110
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 30/09/2026I'm sure we'll hear all about them when they release the new "Taylor Swift" album. 000
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 29/09/2026I know Andy Burnham likes his music, but basing Conference on an Atomic Kitten song still seems strange to me. 013

Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 27/09/2026I thought they wore cowboy boots in Texas. What's all this about shoes? 000
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 26/09/2026Lots of Fouracres and Nash in a wonderfully unhinged #snluk this evening! Though where was Larry Dean to teach Ania how to pronounce "keech"?! 020
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 26/09/2026I've seen all three films multiple times. I don't remember the fucking. 100
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 26/09/2026Hard agree. Ours runs four nights a week. We'd be knee deep in dog hair otherwise. 020
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 26/09/2026Oh my. There are adults today who weren't alive at the same time as him. 😱 010
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 25/09/2026"langugage"? I can see one cut that needs to be made to "language". 010
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 25/09/2026Your mention of Bluey highlighted to me that there's NOT ONE SINGLE CHILDREN'S SHOW on this list. 0180

Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 24/09/2026I think I've reached the stage where so many classic albums have hit the "40 years ago" threshold that my reaction here is "only 35?". 011
Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 24/09/2026I'm on my 4th but there's still time. One coffee, three teas so far. 000

Dave McKay @mckay.me.uk · 23/09/2026I've heard this said of the B in Benoit B Mandelbrot, more so since he didn't actually have a middle name: just the initial. 010
