Just started reading James Herbert’s “The Fog”. Quite enjoyable, but also presumably the inspiration for Garth Marenghi.

“Some kind of Bad Energy Monster has broken into the TARDIS somehow. Which Doctor Who has always maintained is impossible, so this is embarrassing. “

Logopolis
Time of the Doctor
I can’t work out how they wrote it, looked at it on the page, and knew it would work. It’s witchcraft.

Top 10 sitcoms.
(a compromised and inaccurate list)

50 best sitcoms? Sorted it. It just took a pen, a notebook, and a massive, drunken argument with the wife.

Force ghosts from the end of Return of the Jedi
Yoda: yeah hi sorry but I didn’t even like this guy before he was evil and the last time I saw him he was killing children
Luke: thank you for your wisdom Master Yoda
Yoda: no I’m saying it’s bullshit I have to sit on a log with this guy
Obi: yeah I wasn’t going to say anything but he murdered me

I'm reading 100 books this year. Not all at once, that would be madness. But if you want to know what I thought of some, then prepare to be delighted and amazed...

Hey, Paramount’s “Skip Intro” button. I’ve watched the whole intro. Take a hint and piss off.

When I was ten years old, I wrote letters to my friends, pretending I was working for the BBC and asking them to act in my new show. It was less embarrassing than this.

Other mobile phones and tablets: Depending on your software version or phone manufacturer, emergency alert settings may be called different names. They could be called 'wireless emergency alerts' or 'emergency broadcasts'. You can usually find these settings in one of the following ways. - Go to 'message', then 'message settings', then 'wireless emergency alerts', then 'alert' - Go to ‘settings’, then ‘sounds’, then ‘advanced’, then ‘emergency broadcasts’ - Go to ‘settings’, then ‘general settings’, then ‘emergency alerts’ Then turn off ‘severe alerts’, ‘extreme alerts’ and ‘test alerts’.
If you have a secret or hidden phone, the government's Emergency Alerts could reveal your device, even if it's on silent or do not disturb.
The government is testing emergency alerts on Sunday 7 September. If you're worried this could reveal a phone, you can follow this guide to turn off the alerts
“The Zygons are having a good old hiss about how awesome it will be when all the humans are dead, and they can go out in the street without fear of being mistaken for a pizza and eaten by a hungry Scotsman.”

“If all the Daleks looked like Davros, you'd be able to see their faces. Which means you'd be able to see when they were anxious, or sad, or just not really paying attention. I think people would take them less seriously.”

It’s the 50th anniversary of Space 1999. Here’s a poem I wrote that is, a bit, about it.
priglit.blogspot.com/2023/12/spac...
Man I hate the way people search rooms in films. They rampage through drawers, hurling things everywhere.
HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’VE ALREADY LOOKED AT? USE A METHODICAL SYSTEM OR YOU’LL LOSE TRACK.
And these messages:
“What? Why are you cross? What am I meant to have done? I honestly don’t know.”
“Sorry, that was all me. I’m a prick.”
“Oh, you’re one in front of me now? Amazing. Looks like that dangerous bit of overtaking really paid off for you. What a massive penis you just have.”
I can’t believe it’s not une pipe!
Give me your favorite Treachery of Images derivative meme. I’ll start.

This year, I’m reading loads of books. Here’s what I thought of the latest batch.
priglit.blogspot.com/2025/08/100-...
Who callled it ‘Andor’ and not ‘Are You Brave Gorman?’
(This might be too obscure and/or too rubbish)
What’s better than getting home to a new Marillion Blu-ray? That’s right - getting home to four!
My wife does not endorse this post.
Finally catching up on Andor: Who Are You and Welcome to the Rebeliion.
Bloody hell. Just… overcome with emotions.
I'm reading 100 books this year, in an attempt to... I don't know. Finally impress my father?
Anyway, lucky you, because you get to know what I thought about them. Five of them anyway.

Want to know what I've been reading? Probably not, But what if I told you it was mildly amusing on at least three occasions? WHAT THEN?
