This’ll be ace. Yes: ACE.

A pile of colourful illustrations.

Today has been one of those days where I haven’t sold anything in my online shop.
Have a look at my shop and please repost to spread the word. Thanks.

What a happy bunch. ☺️

"Where’s Waldo: Cognitive Decline Edition"

Priorities.

V helpful instructional video for everyone who wants to learn the newest, hottest craze (which will possibly eclipse the Macarena?) 🤞🤞 Come on down to WE’LL SEE at Stand 2, 4.45pm until the 10th; and then get yourself down to COMEDY ARCADE, 10.15pm Gilded Balloon, with phenomenal legend Vix Leyton🎉

“Just the one, Mrs Wembley…”

Ah ha! I had a feeling the song was mentioned too. I think you might be right that he comes up more than once. It’s quite impressive that, like Cliff Richard, he’s still going strong.

God, yes.

Haha! No, I didn’t write a book, but I did write a standup show about him, and about breaking contract with my narcissistic mum soon after he died - and have discussed it on a few podcasts, for my sins. I’d definitely be up for that though. Like you say, it’s a v difficult thing for some to grasp.x

When the algorithm is sure you like air disasters, but doesn’t know how to pitch it.

As the son of one, MOTION SECONDED.

Gratuitous brickwork.

Ah, I thought so! I may have been mixing it up with the Rock Island Line stuff from The Espresso Bar…

Possibly a mention of Rock With The Caveman?

@tonyhancock.bsky.social Listening to your latest podcast episode when you’re discussing namechecks to people still living. Doesn’t Tommy Steele get a mention in one of the radio episodes? 🤔

An excellent show - please go see Robin. This is such a weird thing to say, but after seeing him I've been inspired to write my own "bit" (or five) and I might be funny. I could bound about and talk about random stuff. On a stage. What? I may just one day.

Such an underrated song with so much packed into it and a great arrangement.

“It’s a self portrait.”
“Who of?”
“LAUREL AND HARDY. Who of…”

That, or they deliver.

Can someone explain this INSANITY to me? How can they serve food for two hours before opening?

This restaurant messes with the space-time continuum.

This gives me heart.

My dad would have been 79 today. Here we are, about to take our private Concorde for a spin in the late 1980s.
