I forgot about this image I put together after seeing a grumpy Jack White!
Jack White looking grumpy. I added the caption "I fell asleep in the car on the way here & now I'm cranky!" - which was said on a Family Guy episode by Stewie

A silly cartoon I drew years ago!
A cartoon I drew years ago showing a male tennis player pointing at a sun/star (holding a tennis racket) saying "you CANNOT be Sirius?!" and the star (with an annoyed face and also holding a racket) replying "No, I'm Rigel. We've been through this 10 times!!"

A caption beneath says "Playing Tennis With The Stars..."

Followed by a spam account claiming to be an 18 year old Only Fans girl. Then they post a photo of an older guy in a beard claiming it is then and their dog! Clearly a fake account and not a very clever one at that!! 🤣

Just watched the last episode of Ludwig Series 2 and it was so good! I am so eager for Series 3! It will be too far away - although apparently an Xmas Special is on the way! The only downside were the two new detectives. They seemed to add very little & just seemed to be there to add commentary.

Found the only existing episodes from the 1970s BBC anthology series Dead Of Night on YouTube. Never seen them before so watched all three today. "The Exorcism" was very intriguing & good fun. "A Woman Sobbing" was also interesting & left many a question. "Return Flight" was the least successful

I wonder how Brad Pitt felt being name checked in Shania Twain's "That Don't Impress Me Much" song? Like she's really snarky about not being impressed by him yet he's probably like "I've never even MET this singer! I'm just over here being my Brad Pitt self, not trying to impress some country star!"

UK viewers, I watched the 2016 televised play "Cyprus Avenue" on BBC4 last night and it was brilliant! Very funny but with moments of supreme darkness! Definitely watch it but be warned it has moments of quite painful awfulness! Stephen Rea was outstanding in the lead role.

Share a COMEDY movie title that begins with the letter “P” 🎥 P is for… ‘Peggy Sue Got Married’ (1986) I haven't thought about this film in years! I remember, around that time most of the videos we hired from the local shop had the trailer for this on them!!

A poem I wrote a few years ago (alt text has the text of the poem if you prefer) #poetry #poetsofbluesky #poem
& SO WE TURN...
By MJ Fouldes
22/02/2022

Like lambs to the laughter,
We slaughtered our past.
We milked the tense present
  for the comfort of respite.
The world would have none of it.

I followed a star,
He liked my comment.
The world moves on.

I plagiarised myself for a seat at the table.
"I have contributed ALL!"
I sputtered with fury flourished spittle.
They all laughed & I was nothing.

I retweeted dumb fuckery,
They all approved.
The world moves on.

The shell of normalcy has become so brittle.
We break backs to beckon barbed wire peace.
A shame.
A damn shame that we are ashamed to be shamed.
But who can we blame?

We blame the others,
Our forefathers & mothers.
The world moves on.

Another war, a blight against peace.
Will peace cease to condemn as we feast?
We eat lies & truth in some kind of amuse bouche.

This sickness invades,
To even those who evade.
The world grinds to a still.

In US sitcoms/other shows they make a big thing about kids not having coffee or not drinking more than a couple. Yet here in the UK I drank coffee as a child (I prefer tea) & have often drank more than 1 in a row & had no effect on me (apart from a full bladder!). So what's going on over there?!
