Doctor Who, The Stones Of Blood, Part 3. A female camper puts her hand on a stone and it's turned to a skeleton as she watches. This was broadcast on 11/11/1978, a month before my third birthday. I'm not sure my parents should have let me watch this stuff.

He's not a proper Hull City player until he flips his Mercedes near the training ground.

Among other unusual things, just discovered someone's uploaded Gruey and Bad Boyes to YouTube. Who'd'a thought Gruey was one of Keiran O'Brien's less naughty roles? @franticplanet.bsky.social

I say get Syd Little as the Doctor. He'd still be a better actor and mess up his lines less than McCoy did.

She's singing along to Poddington Peas now. And shouting "I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT STOPPIT AND TIDYUP!". And doing a word perfect narration of the opening of Superted. And Rosie & Jim. Better never hope she learns how to edit video files @franticplanet.bsky.social

My sister is playing the themes to Penny Crayon and Budgie The Little Helicopter to her son in the bath. Bet she'll be putting on Wizbit and Greenclaws next.

Despite people imagining supermarkets are profiteering on stuff like milk, eggs and bread - it's actually toiletries that have the highest markup.

Looked it up and it turns out the item has to be on sale for 28 days at the higher price. It's usually done at a store somewhere out of the way like Aberdeen or Penzance. My former employers used to sell a brand of whisky at £15 more than others so they could claim it as "Half Price" in December.

It's called "price establishment". They put an item on sale for a day in one shop at a massively inflated price so they can roll it out to the rest of the stores at a fake discount.

"D'you know, Slack Alice was round mine the other day. She said 'I hear you're on that YouTube now?'. YouTube, I said, where did you hear that? "Well," she said "I saw hundreds of members around your channel yesterday."

Won’t someone think of the young people?
Paying supermarkets for young staff isn’t the answer to youth unemployment

I worked the night shift on 11/12 September. I was one of the last in the world to find out as I woke up at 9pm for work. As I recall, I didn't bother watching TV when I got home at 6:15am.

You should set up a fundraiser to buy 2 VHS machines so you can generation degrade the signal enough to fool the YouTube content matcher 😆
