Sunday 9 February 1668 (Lord’s day). Up, and at my chamber all the morning and the office doing business, and also reading a little of “L’escolle des filles,” which is a mighty lewd book, but yet not amiss for a sober man once to read over to inform himself in the villainy of the world.
Ah, 9 February. The 358th anniversary of Samuel Pepys reading a dirty book, and explaining to his diary that it’s all right for a gentleman to read something like that, but not for, you know, those common people with their filthy minds 🧵

Bob Says Opportunity Knockers
Tonight's movie was DENTIST IN THE CHAIR (1960)
"The patient says he's a haemophiliac. That means he suffers from post-extraction haemorrhage."
"That's right. I'm a bleeder."
"Well, none of us is perfect."
Contains Kenneth Connor on nitrous oxide.

"Guinness, Fosters or Neck Oil, we don't do anything else."
"While it's true there's fewer punters in and a lot of the regulars have started going to another bar down the road, I think we can all agree that me running this pub is an outstanding success."

09.02.2026 09:06 — 👍 30 🔁 15 💬 1 📌 0From s1, my fave is 'The Battle' - teeing up Picard's backstory and providing an actual threat from the Ferengi. The worst is 'Code of Honor' cos it's racist tripe.

Bane reads books and supports his local library.
Can’t help but think that the more wholesome elements of Bane’s origins are glossed over. #Batman
