There used to be a buoy with some seaweed on it in the Thames near Vauxhall that looked a bit like Terry Nutkins and whenever I walked past it I would say "hello Terry Nutkins"

Oh god now I really want to see you welling up on the Repair Shop after they pull away a bit of cloth to reveal stoved in baby's newly unstoved face

An old photo of a good dog

Repeat orders of said photo available from a company called "Barkers"

Ephemera update

Yeah, I'm not knocking it, especially Murray, but sometimes you want some juryo too

Alternatively for the more committed/self employed there's Midnight Sumo's full 8 hour-a-day Livestream on twitch & YouTube

Can't believe you got to see his actual knees.

Does the shop sell any Ura plushies?

Good enough for McGoohan good enough for you

I assumed this was on as a Robert Redford tribute then laughed when it perversely turned out to be the absolutely terrible 2000 version (not that there are any good The Great Gatsby films because it's The Great Gatsby, obvs)

Aside from everything else in this I enjoy how the endlessly looping ringtone makes it sound exactly like the evil corporate video from Michael Clayton

I don't have any opinions on The Guest (tv series) because I've not seen The Guest (tv series) but The Guest (2014) with him from Downton Abbey and her from It Follows is a fun slightly stupid B-Movie hope this helps

Maybe we need to sit all the tech journalists down in front of The Arrival Of A Train At La Ciotat Station and see if they start screaming

Actually there's a thriving discourse, this is from just a few days ago, maybe do your research before rushing to judgement

Theories: the guy was doing a weird, very low energy troll. He's got some kind of aphasia that only affects loudspeaker announcements not normal interaction. I've got some kind of aphasia that makes unintelligible speech seem intelligible. None of this explains the "ancient" carriage, obvs.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND THE ANCIENT CARRIAGE LOOKS LIKE THIS, what kind of sapphire and steel shit am I trapped in

On a train. Train manager did an announcement on the pa system. Then, when he walked through afterwards, a man near me politely informed him the announcement was unintelligible in this carriage. The manager apologized, explained the train is very old. All smiles. Pleasant interaction. EXCEPT:

Yeah, I mean I kind of automatically assumed you owned a book of SeaQuest dsv technical specifications, apologies

How do you feel about the one off seaQuest dsv tho

Remembering that Peter Serafinowicz story about Terence Stamp agreeing to do star wars because he was told George Lucas gave amazing gifts to the cast and it turning out to be a phantom menace rub down transfer set, RIP Terence

PSA: the very good Vengeance is on Film4 (so also 4player I guess) right now. PSA part 2: for once people are not lying and Weapons is good, shouldn't work but does

Thanks, that's a good (and walkable!) idea (I almost bought the machine from them in the first place, but then, perhaps stupidly, didn't, hey ho)

On that note if anyone knows a good South London washing machine repair guy who for some reason didn't get the holiday invite then please let me know (*but not via DMs because I've not done the face thing)

I've phoned three washing machine repair guys and all three are on holiday and now I want to know if washing machine repair guys all go on holiday together to an exclusive washing machine repair guy resort

Though on a recent rewatch I did find it disconcerting that all the adults (apart from Bill Nighy) had been replaced by tiny press gang children

75% of the shits are still there, they had to jettison 25% of the shits to escape the big bang in Castrovalva

Oh god Nero's seems to have added something from the Palm Springs soundtrack to their playlist, this is not going to help my general uneasy feeling of being stuck in a time loop

You need to divorce Abi and then instantly remarry her just so you can wear this at the wedding

I'm worried the waxy billionaire man won't be allowed to use bluesky anymore because he's so youthful

Or just ask the office temp. When I was a temp at the DfEE and DTI I could have told you what bits you could happily wipe out a lot quicker and more accurately than any Accenture led efficiency review

Yeah, this is true, though I think if every writer or director got together to make a spreadsheet of execs that were good and execs that are a waste of time you'd eventually see some patterns
