Finally watched Kubrick’s The Killing. Absolute banger and confirms my belief that little yappy dogs are wankers.

Cold Storage is good fun. Especially if you like people exploding in horrible green goo.

For reasons I can’t remember, my old housemate and I were obsessed with Silver Lady to the point we made the DJ at his wedding play it #TOTP

It's just too much when you're just trying to enjoy your lunch and have a giggle.

I’m rewatching Futurama and I’ve just had to skip Jurassic Bark as I’m nowhere near able to handle it emotionally.

Brian Blessed’s birthday is an excuse to share one of the greatest paragraphs in any memoir ever.
A paragraph from Brian Blessed’s autobiography:

So the first time I ever came into contact with O'Toole was at one of these student gatherings.
I remember it well because I'd just punched Harold Pinter down a flight of stairs.

Yeah, it would be Brendan and Paul Quinn on those. But, still, not a great look from the others.

Aw shit. I don't listen to their new stuff because it all sounds the bloody same, but the run from Bandwagonesque to Songs From Northern Britain are some of my favourite albums ever.

My tenure as Newcastle Utd manager was a short-lived and volatile period in the club’s history.

Parenthood is mostly buying a little treat, like a Viennetta, and then having to buy another one because your kids ate it all before you could have a bit. In other news, I've just bought another Viennetta.

Yeah, I'm one of the people waiting for a new heart, so this report is a bit scary. My family know that if I don't make it, the doctors can help themselves to whatever's left that's not broken. You can record it on the NHS app. Go to Profile > Health choices > Organ donation decision. Thanks.
