From memory, today was the second day of 2026 without rain. I’m looking forward to Thames Water announcing a hosepipe ban next week.

Why does no-one leave steaming hot pies next to street-level open windows these days? This is not the future the Beano promised us

I am strangely saddened by my realisation that fewer and fewer people every year go into carpet shops and do Speedy Gonzalez impressions

Egg? Pickled onion surely? Known as a cheesepickleandbiscuit in the St Helens area.

I do miss the days when the pubs sold a range of bread that they kept on the street outside.

This album came out in February 1977 but, to my own astonishment, I have never owned a copy - until yesterday!

Panel from a golden age advertisement. With crowds of people cheering in the background, a police officer turns to a redheaded boy and says, “That was wonderful, Tom McCann – thanks to your BAZOOKA SHOES!“ The boy replies, “That’s what millions of fellows say about their EVERY day, Tom McCann shoes!”

As a Liverpudlian and DS fan, I bought this as soon as it came out. Early copies came in a paper carrier bag with the sleeve art printed on it. How much would that be worth now?

Happy birthday to the mighty Poison Ivy. Quite simply the greatest of all time.

Don’t you hate it when big news breaks the day after there’s a new Private Eye?

Cafes and coffee shops should open in the evenings. Not everyone wants to drink alcohol or have a big meal at night and sometimes a coffee and cake would make a nice date.

Watching absolutely anything at an arena is awful.

Love the film and love the song it inspired!

It is strange, is it not, to look upon a man who is not merely the richest in the world but the richest ever to have lived, a man who owns both his own sports car company and his own ROCKET SHIP company… and to feel for that man not a hint, not even the faintest glimmer of envy…?

I worked on Grt Newport Street for a few years but never knew there had been a venue there.

On the occasion of his 72nd birthday, here’s a picture of me and Matt Groening at SDCC in 2012.

Ditto…

I was at one of these nights!

Obi Wan Kenobi was a total snob. Mos Eisley wasn't a "hive of scum and villainy", it was just a working class stopover. Even had a decent band on.

Just watched Predator: Badlands. I enjoyed the tribute to Wallace & Gromit.

I set up a shop selling videos by Chubby Brown and Bernard Manning. It was called unPC World.
(I regret that I can’t remember who I stole this joke from)

Born 11 Feb 1940, Bobby 'Boris' Pickett, who had the 1962 US No.1 & 1973 UK No.3 single 'The Monster Mash'. The song was a spoof on the dance crazes popular at the time. He continued to perform his hit every Halloween for increasing royalties till his death in 2007. #MonsterMash #BobbyBorisPickett

Ofcom, Ofgem and Ofwat do exactly the opposite of their purpose.

Allowing the billionaires to regulate themselves, and punish themselves with joke fines.
