I visited the set during filming and interviewed several cast and crew. Fell in love with the lead actress, Anne Bobby. (She's on the right)

I do love the new twist that Trump has discovered: start a war, then declare victory, then claim he's stopped his xth war...

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" - a great werewolf story in which the werewolf never turns up.

A real shock. I started reading 'Flashback' recently. It will be a different book when I go back to it.

Okay, take Greenland and Canada, but for Heaven's sake leave our best beer alone!

@ianabrahams.bsky.social - this is a tragedy in the making.

I've applied, but someone is spreading nasty rumours about me. It's a smear job.

A friend of mine worked for the advertising studio that worked on Highlander - tag line "There can be only one". When they were asked to come up with a tagline for Highlander 2 my friend suggested, "There can be only another one".

I reckon the best tagline ever was "Man is the warmest place to hide" for The Thing.

Tommy Robinson is the one on the Right.

I've been dying to do that joke for years...

My specialist told me I had a cute pancreas. At least, that's what I heard.

I've used that joke several times before, but it's worth repeating.

Republicans in the USA seem to be concentrating on "think low".

Look at me! I made Dr. Seuss political!

I'm not contradicting you (as you are an acknowledged expert) but if I'd looked at that without knowing who the artist actually was I would have said "Chris Foss, without a doubt."

Damn. That's another of my horror ideas torpedoed by real life.

Apparently one of his accomplices was offered a sweetener if he would confess.

"I'm sorry, but I purchased a ticket for 'Sssssss' but you gave me a ticket for 'Ssssssss' instead!"

"Okay, here's the right ticket."

"No, that's for 'Ssssss' I've already seen 'Ssssss'."

He's got no filter...

The number of times I called my boss and said, "You need to come down here and see this!" He just said, "Tell me now and save me the walk."
