Facebook has reminded me of a Doctor Who story I made two years ago. Do it, Disney, you know you want to. You could get eight hours out of this, easy.

Word of the Day is ‘theic’ (19th century), defined as ‘one given to immoderate tea-drinking; a tea drunkard’.

I hereby declare war on premature Christmassing.

Any shop caught doing this before 1st December must be shut down and turned into affordable housing.

Choose sanity. Vote Binface.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

It's beginning to look a lot like autumn 🍂

Today, I met a cat dressed as BB8. I won Saturday.

Not seen the original, was wondering if I should before the new version comes out or should I go in unspoiled. Then need read the book 😀

Morning all.

Happy anniversary to the first time this nerdy xennial saw her generation - and especially a young woman - depicted not as a glossy sexy size 6 with wealthy parents nor a 2D avatar written by boomers to feed her boomer parents setups for witty comeback lines, but as a relatable loveable fuckin loser

Was a great show, real shame it didn't get a final season.

Legend. He's great fun 😀

Currently, binge watching the first season of Broadchurch on DVD...only 12 years late. Yes, I did know who dunit going into it, but it's a joy to watch so many great actors, and Chibnall's writing is top class.

'Hollywood of the South' loses Marvel productions to UK Marvel Studios is moving production from Georgia to the U.K., a shift that highlights rising costs in the U.S. film industry.

Marvel is leaving Atlanta and heading to the UK, citing rising costs.

Labor costs are less expensive in the U.K., and universal health care means studios wouldn’t have to subsidize workers’ medical expenses.

This move alone could cost Atlanta up to 20,000 jobs.

Children's TV favourite Bagpuss to reawaken for new film It will be the first new official Bagpuss production since the original beloved 1974 series.

"Bagpuss and his companions, including a woodpecker called Professor Yaffle and Madeleine the rag doll, will "stir from their slumber to find themselves in contemporary Britain""

My god, the cruelty. That is utterly inhumane. You've sent Bagpus to Hell you monsters.

Happy 38th birthday, KNIGHTMARE, the hardest game show on television! In 1987, Treguard the Dungeon Master welcomed the first team of adventurers to his blue screen labyrinth. Losers didn’t just fail, they 'died': blades, spikes, and bottomless pits abounded. "Ooh, nasty..."

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're on the bridge of the Enterprise. Kirk is standing in gold uniform and seems perturbed about something perturbing going on. Closed caption reads, "NOTHING MAKES SENSE."

Put anything fabric in the freezer for a while to kill off any beasties 😀

In the future, every job will be 'AI proofreader', we'll all basically be the person who hovers by the 'self' checkout to sort things out when they go wrong, which will be at least once during every interaction.

I said I would send you a postcard and I did.

If people need 4 months to afford and prepare for just one day, then there's something very, very wrong. I've renamed it 'Commercialmas'.

Blue sky and many wildflowers of many colours

Wildflower meadow in a town centre park. Simple but stunning.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're on the Enterprise bridge, point of view from the captains chair facing forward. We see two officers at their consoles facing the view screen. On the view screen is shown a shiny and black non humanoid looking alien, hard to make out how it looks, more of a silhouetted shadowy future space alien vibe. Behind the figure is cascading blue lights. Closed caption reads, "Conversation is neither required, nor desired."
