Listened to @itsdanthomas.bsky.social talking about Casino Royale yesterday, and I think that the previous time it was covered by @smershpod.com was how I discovered Mads Mikkelsen wasn't in Corrie...

This reminds me of the time I found out Mads Mikkelsen is a male actor and not a woman in Coronation Street called Madge Nicholson.

Listening to the Dirty Grandpa episode of @smershpod.com today I learned that Aubrey Plaza is a person and not, as I previously thought, where Kennedy was shot.

If you're looking for something less violent, but still fraught with perils and danger you should consider exploring a cave full of spiders in 1983

Does anyone remember when @bechillcomedian.bsky.social left twitter to go exploring alternate timelines and she found one where everything was on fire? Do you think it might be our current timeline?

@smershpod.com I got 10/10 on a Bond quiz solely from listening to Smershpod and reading Thunderbook.

The bottom frame of my backdoor is covered with detritus as it is an ideal spot to remove outsidiness from my feets when I return from the garden.

@garydelaney.bsky.social According to Amazon, people who bought your Pundamentalist book also bought Rock face antiperspirant, the very best of ELO, and Bazuka wart treatment gel.

The cover of the book they're reading looks disturbing. Did it previously belong to Anthony Ainley?

I only added Nerys for rule of three purposes. She's probably a juggler. I get a lot of circussy people. There was lots of other Welsh sounding names, but Nerys was the most Welsh. I often get vaguely famousos too, and I probably had Elis before. It just seemed funny this time.

@itsdanthomas.bsky.social I started watching Electric State thinking it can't be nearly as bad as you claimed on @smershpod.com. I can report that i got worryingly far into it - 48 minutes, before realising I have no idea who anyone is, or why I should care, and gave up.

@specileptic.bsky.social This week, I wrote a word of welsh in a reply to you and since then Facebook has friend-suggested Elis James, Dan Thomas and someone named Nerys. Coincidence?

Also, I can't speak to Walter Reed, but the usual bank of questions includes "can you tell me who is currently president?" At which point he presumably laughed for 20 minutes and waffled on about all the people who aren't president, for another hour.

They're cognitive tests. So, he's glossed over the "follow my finger with your eyes" test, and how he did in the "how many fingers am I holding up?"

I'm forever making back references to previous conversations and getting blank stares. Even when it's their own jokes... sometimes, I wonder if I am the only person in the world paying attention.

My disciplinary meeting was surprisingly relaxed. The lady was wearing a hoodie, which made me feel more at ease. She smiled lots and laughed after my jokes, so hopefully it went well.

I have had this on a loop in my head for hours. The trouble is I only just remembered the correct words, so my brain has been concocting its own lyrics until now. And my brain is weeeeird. Hopefully, now I've listened to the actual song I will be free youtu.be/00QMrkDk_oY?...

When Chris Moyles was still at Radio 1, he and his team went to Berlin for some reason. And their producer Aled was delighted that there were British shops like Aldi and Lidl there.

In the directors commentary for A Town Called Eureka, someone pointed out that the actor who plays the sheriff's daughter is really bad at hugging. She starts to panic after a while and pats her huggee on the back, like she's trying to tap out of wrestling. Once I heard that, I spot it all the time.

I was concerned that the magpie had vanished you. And spent yesterday wondering which of the Welsh it would be best to approach to see if they could contact you. Then I remembered Facebook exists, and lo, you reappeared.

It's better that it's playing outside than some unknown within the house. Though, perhaps check your shower for randomly cavorting dancers and suspiciously oiled gentlemen.
