Happy New Years from Mars. It's the first day of the new Martian year, which lasts 687 Earth days. According to the internationally adopted timekeeping system, this is Mars year 39. The Curiosity rover sent down this view from Gale Crater today.

The activities in Fairford appear to be an overconfident, poorly planned, operation to steal large quantities of fuel oil. But enough about the US Military

This week it's deep in to the Cheapshow archives as the random number generator lands on episode 33: Eli Silverman's Fanclub from June 2017. Will be interesting to hear how these youthful scamps compare to present day Paul and Eli. www.thecheapshow.co.uk/episode-33

RIP Richard Harrison. Who will reform the ninja empire now?

The late Richard Harrison speaking in to a novelty Garfield phone in a scene from Ninja Terminator, one of many ninja films created by Godfrey Ho by editing new footage of Western actors in to existing martial arts films to take advantage of the martial arts boom of the 1970's. My personal favourite is Majestic Thunderbolt in which Harrison participates in an epic finale shootout in which no watermelon or chicken is safe.

It's not just Ed Sheeran gigs that are getting effected by the situation in the middle east.

A screen grab from the BBC news website which reads "Status quo at Jerusalem's holiest site under threat as Isreali nationalists flout rules". I did check online to see if I should have used effected or affected in my post, but still don't really know. Annoyingly I did know when I was younger but have used neither term regularly enough. I guessed and if I got it wrong please correct me.

As Cheapshow lies fallow this week the random number generator has taken back to May 2024 for episode 384: Dikkeneks. A sauce heavy episode, which is always glorious (and hopefully with an explanation of what the heck the title means) awaits. www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-384-dikke...

TONIGHT - Penda's Fen, BBC4, 22:15 (22:00 for the Spencer Banks introduction). Tonight's broadcast carries a guidance warning for 'upsetting scenes'

Shot of the demon from Penda's Fen sitting on Stephen's chest, from his POV. It is dark and hazy and slightly bad quality, being ripped from a VHS recording. Behind the demon a window and a shelf of books can be seen.

Thank you @gilltav.bsky.social for reminding us all of the Police response in 2021 👇 when some 40 environmental activists of Insulate Britain blocked the Port of Dover: 39 arrests. Compare that to yesterday when 200-400 fascist paramilitaries intimidated Dover town and blocked the Port: 0 arrests.

Had been at my mates the night before when we saw the newsflash about the crash. He phoned me the next morning to say she was dead. My most vivid memory was he told me he was eating French Toast and I laughed and told him he was being very insensitive.

@remembrancewatch.bsky.social Saw this Remembermobile while out for a stroll earlier.

A white Renault Kangoo van. The rear doors have been rememberafied. The left door has a silhouette of an American soldier, judging by the rifle, kneeling before a cross shaped headstone. What looks like an American M60 type heavy machine gun rests against the stone with a helmet on top. Above a selection of WW2 era aircraft silhouettes complete the tableau. The right hand door has "We will remember them" with a couple of poppies and two more aircraft silhouettes for maximum respect. There is also a random strand of black spaghetti under the word "them". The side of the van is visible and has a black and a blue stylised "tribal" dragon head design on it, this may or may not be in rememberence of Smaug, or perhaps Idris the dragon out of Ivor the Engine.

Jamie Stephenson revisits a crucial turning point 40 years ago, marking the moment when the Irons stopped simply writing songs about history and became a band haunted by time itself Haunted By Time: #IronMaiden’s Wasted Years & Somewhere In Time Revisited buff.ly/TyIjMuP

Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time album cover. A Maiden style terminator type robot with a gun in its hand and musculature showing with a skinned cyborg look. The background is a retro futuristic city and the edge of a piece of graffiti reading 'Eddie Lives' can be seen on the edge of the right hand side of the image.

Managed to sneak a paparazzi shot of the robot from The Black Hole sunbathing in next doors garden.

Some sort of silver and red coloured vacuum cleaner sitting on a pile if outdoor chairs next to my neighbours shed. It's shape and colour make it look like V.I.N.C.E.N.T., the robot from the classic "what on Earth were they thinking? It's nothing like Star Wars" Disney film The Black Hole, the ending of which is, I assure you, many degrees of strangeness weirder than you remember. And the novelisation is even more WTF, though it does have eight pages of colour pictures from the film, so that's something.
