Acquired my namesake familiar spirit in ceramic form

A small ceramic cutout of Vinegar Tom, one of the familiars from the Manningtree witch tragedy. It is a dog-like creature with the head of an ox/bull. It has a quite smiley face

Currently reading, and greatly taken by the alternate reality in which Doctor Who is about three people zooming around in a flying saucer as written by JG Ballard, John Wyndham, Brian Aldiss, Arthur C. Clarke and Kingsley Amis

The book Pull to Open by Paul Hayes, about the creation and development of Doctor Who.

Shared from reddit. The portal at Rownhams Services.

Photo of the entrance to a long, rectangular tunnel lit with yellow-orange light, which looks incongruous appearing as it does among trees and bushes. It looks like an infinitely long portal in the middle of a woodland.

More a bizarre thing that *didn't* happen in an assembly, sorry. Somebody once suggested that probably a teacher was going to dress up and perform as Madonna (again, why?) and then shat it at the last minute, which seems most likely

Vinegar Tom Pullin @tom-pullin.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

For some reason the teachers told us Madonna was coming to perform for us, and for a week we were beside ourselves with excitement. When the assembly finally came, a teacher sadly informed us Madonna was stuck in traffic and wouldn't make it. Why any of this was said I don't know

Hard to remember now as there were so many schedule changes flying about, but I may have vague memories of them all being scheduled on BBC1 at one stage, only to then be removed by further schedule changes - though I can't remember why. Might do some investigating in a free moment...

"Whether their act was big or small, no one could risk more than his life. Each according to his strength and abilities, but the main thing was, you fought back." Enjoying this book about German resistance against the Nazis, which weirdly has the most exclamation marks I've ever seen in a novel.

When you've written your Doctor Who tender, do you then have to tediously write the whole thing out again on the online Doctor Who tender submission page?

My patriotic, ginger, Elgar-loving father remembers the broadcast of Penda's Fen chiefly for the ribbing he received at school the next day

Things I was frightened of as a child: - Signs birthday party scene. - My dad saying that occasionally coffins are dug up where they find scratch marks on the inside. - Happy Tree Friends. - Brother saying a blood moon meant the world would end. - Raiders face-melting scene. - These cunts:

The Simpsons episode with the glowing green alien that turns out to be Mr Burns
