As far as I'm aware, Salad Fingers' first appearance was on the aforementioned Weebl's stuff, long before any YouTube appearance.

Kudos for Weebl's Stuff reference. 👍

Please tell us why you want this job, Mr 2000.

Must have been a while ago. With the number of new PMs we've had in recent years, no SoS has been in post for the time it would take a joke to become long running.

Came to the comments for Adventure Game references. Was not disappointed. 😁👍

With very sensible loading options!

I'd advise that you reply to the image you're joking about next time. It might help people without your obvious intellect spot that you're making a reference rather than posting an amusingly coincidental non sequitur, especially one paraphrased rather than quoted from the source material. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Given the comment immediately above yours, you could make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl...

Hopefully one that won't self-destruct in the next ten seconds. 😉

I otherwise completely agree with all your comments, but I sadly have at least another 15 years to go until retirement and had a rotary phone at home into my teens. Admittedly, it was the secondary upstairs phone and the main one had buttons, but still, it was there. 🙂

Truly excellent news, by Vectron!

That's him. "Let this deed of Prince Thun be an example to all the kingdoms of Mongo. Death to Ming!" A very heroic cameo, and sadly also very 70/80s.

Paul Gilham @paulgilham.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Apparently it was meant to be Klytus picking up the ring. Which, given his grisly fate earlier in the film, seems less believable than the usual interpretation of a revived Ming. I'd have been disappointed the sequel couldn't feature Prince Thun, though, given how close he was to Filmation's Flash.

You clearly weren't of Saturday morning television age at the time, then. "Going Live! on 081 811 8181. That's 081 811 8181. Yeah." 😎

There is no "dialling code" for mobiles now that numbers are portable - I have an old Orange number on an entirely different (and still extant) network. I therefore give the number in the format that makes it most memorable, which is 07XX XXXX XXX.

I was sad when the Veggie Deluxe got retired. You could pretty much guarantee you'd get it freshly cooked when you asked for one. 😉

Don't worry, wearing a uniform worked out for him.

Our urban neighbourhoods are also weird. You can have "good areas" and "bad areas" literally a few streets away from each other. Such close-at-hand signs of inequality do strange things to our poor post-colonial psyches.

Paul Gilham @paulgilham.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

So you use Trump-esque zero-sum metrics of success? Affluent is having "a lot of money" (per Collins English Dictionary), which one could easily view in relative terms: being able to afford regular foreign holidays, being able to feed your kids, et al. Global wealth could easily fund that for all.

At the time, getting emails was cool and exciting. Now we feel the same about letters in the post.

Yes indeed---it supplements my daily Worldle and Travle games quite nicely. There's a reason blue always vied with green as my favourite Trivial Pursuit wedge. 🙂 (Anyone reading who likes a bit of geographical quizzing could do worse than visiting teuteuf.fr)

And that would probably be the case both pre- and post-buyout by The Onion.
