I’m hearing worrying reports about librarians displaying increasing levels of rudeness and irritation with readers trying to decide which Stephen King novel to borrow next. One was heard to shout, “Just take It or leave It”. There’s no need is there?

Early Monkees: Hey hey, we’re the Monkees, And people say we monkey around, But we’re too busy singin’ To put anybody down Late Monkees: Darkened rolling figures move, Through prisms of no color, Hand in hand they walk the night But never know each other (Still just trying to be friendly I guess)

Mine, possibly because it was also the first single I ever owned, is Funky Gibbon. But I have much love for the Bill Oddie penned B side, a paean to vomiting, Sick Man Blues. Bill also lead this fundraising curio for the 1976 UK Olympic squad, Superspike - which I adore too: youtu.be/5z5h2mDNNwg?...

First image from next year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special just dropped. If the Disney deal was still going there’d be at least 10 of ‘em and they’d be Judoon.

When, as part of my cloning experiments, I extracted DNA from a fragment of cloth stained with the blood of Dixon of Dock Green actor, Jack Warner, I never expected six uniform police officers to turn up at my door.

Could cause some conversational confusion if any members get elected: “What’s your job?” “Your MP.” “No you’re not.” “Yes I am. I’m in Your Party.” “I don’t have parties. And I wouldn’t invite you if I did.” “Misunderstanding?” “I’m married and my surname is not Understanding!” Etc etc…
