A portion of orange battered chips.
Regular routine: hair cut then around the corner for a chippie, eaten in the car with a podcast.
Today is a small chips and the latest episode of @squarewindowpod.bsky.social.
Perfect serving suggestion for our podcast.

Ken Colley dressed in a white robe portraying Jesus in Life of Brian.
Fascinating discussion about Return to Waterloo on @squarewindowpod.bsky.social with @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social & @gkw.bsky.social and to hear some love for Ken Colley, a great actor, who let's not forget was Jesus in Life of Brian ... Blessed are the cheesmakers.

13.11.2025 08:11 β π 3 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Looking forward to it. I had an inexplicable dislike of Rentaghost, and for that matter Crackerjack, both programs all my friends loved, so it'll be interesting to hear your views.
