youtube.com/watch?v=2XK0... Played this at full volume in the pub this afternoon. People of ' a certain age' put their drinks down and looked at me with some semblance of respect.

Last beer at the Old Tom by the Old Tom.

'IT'S WAR!...but first the weather with Sylvester Stuart'

Now for an excursion into the fleshpots of Oxford for a spate of heavy afternoon drinking with chums.

Kicking over the remnants of a still smouldering fire over at Shotover this morning. Not mine of course. Imagination went into overdrive. Felt like a bounty hunter in hot pursuit of a fugitive, scanning the horizon, looking for tracks, clues. A bounty hunter in wellies though.😁

A new episode of World of Telly is now available wherever you get your podcasts. This month we're watching UFO, the sci-fi classic from 1970. The video version of this episode is currently in a copyright dispute so please watch it while you can! youtu.be/kgpJJzg_1S4

Cally's watching a real Timey-Wimey episode of Dr Who I've never seen. It's from 1998, with Gwyneth Paltrow and it's called 'Sliding Doors'. Hang on..

Facebook reminded me today of the day I bumped into Tony Robinson in Aylesbury who was filming 'Time Team' nearby. Asked for his autograph naturally. 'Blackadder fan I take it?' he said wearily. "More of a 'Sam on Boffs Island' fan actually" I replied. He then did the most wonderful 'double take' 😋

Great theme tune. Tony Soper.

Our lad Euan is 20 today. He's living the best life at Uni in Reading. Just sent him an 'Ayrton' for a beer. 😋

Always loved that story title. An exclamation mark would have been perfect.

Just trying to think of the first films I saw at the cinema as a kid. Dad took me to see 'Jaw's in 1976 (on the re-release) but my first memories are 'The Land That Time Forgot', 'The Island At The Top Of The World' and bizarrely my grandparents took me to see 'Fantastic Voyage'

youtu.be/OMiMCMWp4bw?... This still makes me chuckle.

The film is the 'less stressful option'.. 😁😆

Wife and I watching 'The Towering Inferno' and both agreeing this is the first time we've seen it as adults.

Friday...

What's going to end first. Perpetual rain in the UK or perpetual Curling in the Olympics?

What an anti-climax for Andrew when a female copper turns up at his house with a pair of handcuffs,on his birthday as well, only to bundle him into the back of a Vauxhall Astra..

'Flippin' 'eck, Alan'

Tuned into the Curling and misheard that Rowan Morrison was on Team GB..

Matt Weston. More Golds than a Spandau Ballet tribute act. 😋

New obsession...

Strong Kitchen Disco..

Wife & I sharing a romantic Valentines drink. A sachet of Lemsip each..

'Roses are red
Violets are blue
You said you didn’t want anything, you stood there, on Wednesday and said ‘don’t get me anything’'

'Say it with flowers. Buy her a Triffid'

It’s only 5 Nottingham Forest managers until Christmas..

I've got the body of a 35 year old. Can't fit anything else in the freezer though..

'Vich vay to ze Tottenham stadium if you please'

To the pub, adorning this little number.
