Photo of inside a Weird Walk zine of an article entitled My Folk by Maxine Peake, on the production of the Robin/Red/Breast show. The right page has a groovy, folky illustration of Peake

Learning that Maxine Peake briefly possessed a vial of John Bowen's ashes, which I wasn't expecting to learn today

"So, Mr Pullin, it says here your 'arm is fucked'."

"That's correct, doctor."

To the minor injuries unit!

Sprained my wrist and now it hURts

The queue for passport control at Berlin airport was about as long as the flight there. Bloke behind me revealed he voted for Brexit - could have killed him in that moment

Landing back in the UK, the British travellers herding to Arrivals, pitifully grateful to use some e-gates, tear-stained faces at tasting the memory of the convenience

Photo from Asterix comic of Obelix tapping his head (with letters above reading "TAP! TAP! TAP!"), which he often does when denoting that some group of people he has come into contact with are acting strangely.

"These Berliners are crazy!!"

The dregs of some milkless tea and a teabag in the bottom of a white tea cup.

"Black tea" but it's a mix of Earl Grey and green tea, ffs get it right people on the continent

Thanks!

Photo from the dome walkway/viewpoint at the top of Berlin Cathedral, an angled shot of the TV Tower (the "Berlin Cathedral" of the post) and a bit of skyline. In the foreground is a copper-green statue of exultant angels. It is grey and very cold-looking.

Golden carved statue of Death, as a skeletal emaciated figure with flowing robes, writing in a large book clutched in his talon-like hands. He is sitting in front of a grand and richly carved ceremonial sarcophagus.

Death at the foot of Sophia Charlotte of Hanover's sarcophagus in Berlin Cathedral, adding another name to his book

Ah, right

Bélmez Faces - Wikipedia

The Bélmez Faces, which terrified me as a child

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9...

Court sketch of Russell Brand with mid-length hair, moustache and short beard, wearing a blank expression.

Photo of one of the ghostly Belmez Faces (Wikipedia article in below post). It also has a sort of moustache, and bears a passing resemblance to Brand's court sketch.

Russell Brand's court sketch makes him look like one of the Bélmez Faces

(Sorry for bringing Russell Brand to your timeline)

TONIGHT (or, just watch it all on iPlayer right this instant tbh)

Davros from Doctor Who (Resurrection of the Daleks)

Saw Davos trending and was worried something had happened to the big man - false alarm, folks

According to Wikipedia, St John the Baptist church in Claines, Worcester

It's how he would have wanted it, I'm sure

Photo of a mauve-coloured building on the edge of a dual carriageway. It is a Nepalese & Indian restaurant/takeaway called Cromwells

Beneath Powick church lie Civil War battlefields, commemorated chiefly by this Nepalese takeaway

Gothic marble and sandstone chest tomb, canopied niches on each corner with a continuous arcade of niches on each side separated by marble shafts (thanks Historic England for the terminology). It is standing on a plinth in a churchyard on a grey day. Dead leaves and moss litter the ground around it.

The Lea Tomb at Powick church, housing one half of the duo that created Worcestershire Sauce. All us Worcester-born must make an annual pilgrimage under pain of death.

In conclusion, all new films are shite, just rewatch 1970s television ghost stories

Gosh the trailers before 28 Years... looked shite. Menny men with serious faces menning about in their men cars shooting their men guns to get their men money, because what the world needs is more machismo

Screenshot from parliament website about workplace compensation. Title reads "What is workplace compensation?" with text below reading "Workplace compensation is a mechanism for providing money-based and medical care-based compensation to the victims of injuries sustained in their daily working lives."

Six years monitoring the snooker for work has turned me into a fan of the game

Photo from the path on the tree-lined edge of a green and muddy field. The path and trees curve off to the left in the distance, with bigger trees draped in fog discernible beyond. The sky is grey and looming.

Heaven is a foggy field

Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor saying "The sea may be calm but it is never empty" from Episode 1 of Doctor Who story Terror of the Zygons.

"The sea may be calm but it is never empteyahhh"

Kids in the village who watch Doctor Who call it the 'dark TARDIS'. Older, cooler kids who meet there for a snog or crafty fag call it the 'brick dick'. There's never been a time I can remember when it wasn't a dare to put your ear to the door to hear the ghosts in the reservoir below. – Jo Ash #VOH
