A black and white photo of Erwin Rommel sat infront if a telescope.

Rommel getting ready to read the latest battle reports.

It must be so weird being a 7 month old right now. 'We're going out? Great. Why... why are you still dressing me? What the... what are you putting on my hands? Christ I'm warm! FINALLY! In the buggy and out we... WHAT THE HELL? What's that feeling? My face! It's like a thousand knives stabbing me!'

'Rat made a bright fire in the parlour, and planted the Mole in an arm-chair in front of it, having fetched down a dressing-gown and slippers for him, and told him river stories till supper-time.' - The Wind in the Willows

Can we normalise giving guests dressing gowns and slippers again?

YouTube video by IanLevine Eastbound Expressway - Theme From K 9 And Company

The theme from K9 and Company is memorably awful. Ian Levine has always defended his original vision for it claiming it was intended to be performed by an orchestra and we would all have a different opinion of it if we heard that.

Now we can.

Hahaha aah. No moon. Hilarious.

But... like... we're going. Right?

Wondering how they keep that sign in place? Something tacky.

They’ll protect the *other* Amazon, tho’.

Never heard of them.

At my my parents and I just helped with their recycling. They've already started eating mince pies.

Am I too old to be emancipated?

The whole council tax system needs a refresh. Proportional to the houses current value.

I know it won't happen. But it should.

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

'
Farage told us the flag-raisers were just ordinary folk sticking it to the system. A few months worth of local journalism later, that now looks like a shaky claim.'

Hot Take for controversy's sake: Ghostbusters is superior to Ghostbusters 2 BUT On Our Own by Bobby Brown is superior to Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr.

I know we each bring our own reading to a book, but what is wrong with Musk? The 'hard men' of Gondor are represented ny Boromir. It does not go well for Boromir!

The Gondorian who understands power isn't everything and shows compassion to the weak? Faramir.

Faramir ends up Prince of Ithilien.

Kevin J. O'Connor as Beni in The Mummy is one of the truly great comic turns in Hollywood history.

Depression. Docto Who fandom. Looks like we've got ourselves a real chicken and egg situation.

She's not wrong!

If ghosts aren’t real, then explain this! – A guide for novice ghost hunters Bloody hell Ken. Things have started to get spooky. You’re hearing footsteps on the stairs when there’s no one else in the house, seeing shadowy figures out of the corner of your eye, a…

We love spooky stories, but sometimes you need to check what it's not...

Title card for Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings. Black, with red writing.

'AVE IT!

Even if @teamlabouruk.bsky.social start to roll back their right wing rhetoric, so what? They simply are not interested in protecting the most vulnerable. Anything else is badly applied make-up.

They had a huge majority and a year and a half to show the country what they believe.

They have.

When you really need a Venn diagram, but are afraid to ask.

If Edgar Wright's Running Man doesn't feature a dancer with this hair, what is even the point of making it?

My kingdom for a horse...

It seems I'm engaged to the one person in the world who likes Madame Web.

I can't tell you how much I wish I could try those.

You: Rips open package to take the pants out, look at them, decide you want them, then pick up another pack that is exactly the same to buy.

Me:

It's just nice to see it.

I could (genuinally) do a whole piece on how the first Doctors stint is about Britian coming to terms with loss of empire and finding it's place in the world again. (With 2 being an actual rejection of Edwardian norms).

Newman got the idea of regenerating after seeing his niece on an Etch a Sketch. He made a deal with the makers; every doctor regeneration has been to sublimely boost sales of the toy. During the 90s the company paid Toy Story to feature the product. Since New Who Eatch hasn't been in the sequels.

The reason the Doctor keeps fighting for the universe is because Ian stopped him killing the unconscious Za in An Unearthly Child. The Doctor realised that a primitive like Ian had a stronger moral compas than he did, abs was ashamed. It's also why the Dictor feels such an affinity for Earth.
