Chilli Cheese Garlic Bread
Garlic bread — a damp-centred, often bendy, stick of it — was a dominating feature of my eating life in the '70s and '80s. This is a more robust version, gooey with cheese and warmly, rather than fier...

We got our own version of 'Thursday Murder Club' on NITFLIX, but it called 'THE MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MURDER CLUB'. It about a bunch of elderly Ogrons living in a retirement home. But it less about SOLVING murders and more about PLANNING them!😁

Ooo the newest iPhone has an eye that opens and looks around while you're asleep. The eye is fully organic and if you put your ear near it you can hear it sliming as it swivels in the socket. It is looking for things you don't need to worry about.

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.
Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero"Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life"Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now"Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Doctor Who script editor has success with new radio series. No idea what colour supplement this was from, or the date - 1978 I guess as the second radio series had not yet been broadcast. #h2g2
Page ripped from a colour supplement with an interview with Douglas Adams. He's smoking, sitting next to a large CRT colour TV, an acoustic guitar, and a reel-to-reel tape machine.

This is EXACTLY the era when I was most familiar with all the cars. It took seeing this clip, and knowing all the cars, for me to realise I no longer know all the cars. Basically, this video from (checks watch) 30 years ago, looks more familiar to me than looking at the cars out of the window does.

If they make another Star Trek movie, can we have James Gunn direct it? Not because of his directorial skills; I just think it’s about time a narrative included Gunn’s Chekov.
