A friend of mine sent me that a few weeks back. Immediate thought: "How did nobody know I was a woofter?" 🤣

Post you from a different era.

Somewhere in my early twenties. The hairline already in rapid retreat, you note.

One Of Our Bollocks Is Missing

Oh blimey. Just looked him up. Poor chap, I had no idea.

Get yerself well soon!

Fcking genius!

And he gets to have the "mind like a bacon slicer" conversation with Donald Pleasance. Glorious. 🥰

@patrickcaines.bsky.social you’ll like this.

Oh, that’s gorgeous.

Not mushroom for ambiguity there.

No good deed goes unpunished...

🐾 Please open full thread and scroll through, if you’d like to read the comic 🐈‍⬛🤍

Was lovely to see you too!

I came here to say this too.

Thanks for the thought, @unclebeard1978.bsky.social - would definitely have been of interest yes... but sadly I'm heading back home on Thursday before either of them starts :(

Members of the Whitstable’s Profanity Embroidery Group at the Duke of Cumberland pub. Three women sit on a sofa, sewing, while a woman in front, with a pint on the table in front of her, holds up a piece of fabric on which she has stitched the phrase ‘fuck off!’ Below that, another design reads ‘TWAT!’ She is smiling proudly

So, happy 11th birthday, the Profanity Embroidery Group

Hello Minges! - PEG Whitstable PEG Whitstable - Profanity Embroidery Group: Kathy Burke said we were like a Punk version of the WI, which is in many ways a bloody good place to start. We are the Profanity Embroidery Group, and we d...

5 August 2014 was the date of their initial meeting, you see

What a fitting end to such a closely-fought test series. Congratulations India.

“The Murder at the Vicarage”
Another favourite. The byplay between Slack and Lake regarding Miss Marple is delicious, but for me the highlight is Paul Eddington’s subtle, heartbreaking gentleness. If ever there was an actor to admire…

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Amazing how few of these songs I remember on #TOTP - but I was a bit preoccupied in 1998... it was about this point that I came out (albeit a couple of decades late)

Used that as my audition song for many years...

Oh! Tom Lehrer 😥

One of the best lines in the whole of Miss Marple:

“Hello, Aunt Effie - they tell me downstairs you’re getting very peculiar”

Effie, with tremendous grace and gravitas: “I always was very peculiar”

…and I always forget that Joyce Carey’s Belle Goedler sounds exactly like Deborah, Duchess of Royston (Ray Barrett) in Thunderbirds.

Catching up with last night’s “Murder is Announced” on iPlayer.
Must have seen it a gazillion times, but it’s still wonderful. They’re all superb, but this one’s an undeniable favourite.
Joan Hickson is transcendent, and John Castle’s Craddock is just dreamy.

If there's one song that conjures my 20s...

Followed by Plaistow.

Basildon, innit.

I remember you, Errol #TOTP
