I can’t get my head around the idea of really giving a shit about what happens to whatever’s left of one’s body after it’s been harvested for usable parts.

(That said, imagine the embarrassment of being the relative of someone whose remains caused a fatberg.)

Mug featuring photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in car, following his arrest, with the redness of his eyes exaggerated, and an oil painting filter applied. Around the image is printed H.R.H. The Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh, with 2026 at the bottom. The titles have been crossed out in thick blue lines, and replacement text Prince Andrew, with the Prince part also crossed out, and Mountbatten-Windsor added, also in blue hand-scrawled lettering.

Still 99p on Kindle at the moment, and still in its Music Top 10. It's also available as a hardback (a perfect gift for yourself or others), and for those who've been asking - and some have - it's going to be published in the US in July. #IntoTheGroove

So, are you voting Hancock’s Half Hour or Steptoe and Son? Is there a risk of splitting the anti-Comedy Playhouse vote?

Looking forward to reading this. Interested to see if it contains musings on Katie Puckrick’s pubic hair.

Grand, but now can we have the recent series (the episodes actually made in 4K in the first place) on 4K blu-ray, please?

Fair enough. I’m not familiar with that expression. Despite coming from just down the road from Bob.

I thought this name was quite bold, at the time. I may have made incorrect assumptions about the pronunciation of its name.

Tip: tell them that last time you didn’t need the eye drops. That way they’ll check if your eyes are dilated enough without just giving you them as a matter of course. I’ve not had the drops for quite a long time now. (Thanks to the one person who looked before, and decided I didn’t need them.)

This was the biggest problem (of many) with the government around the time of the brexit referendum; they believed that an ill-informed β€œwill of the people” was more important to adhere to than the national interest. It was an expensive cop-out.
