I watched the first episode this evening and I'm not quite there yet but I did enjoy it.

The man who is unwilling to wear a flu mask usually is of the kind who expects everybody to listen to him when he speaks

Thank you. The world of telly isn't the same without him.

Watching this in my sick bed has cheered me right up. When I was about 12 my dream was to be a dancer like that. Had the weird walk/run thing they do at the start down pat as all dancers seemed to do it.

Outstanding. This is the 1980s in a nutshell.

Off sick, missing work Xmas do and away day, why can't I be ill on a normal boring work day.

oh this looks like it might be good, I've been thinking about getting in to yoga recently - thanks for the rec!

Thank you!

LOVE her ventriloquism. This is brilliant.

My font of choice for my thesis is TNR, now considering putting this in the acknowledgements.

"located on one of Nuneaton’s most iconic town centre roads" yeah I don't think location location location is really a factor here

This is great news as long as they have some decent rolling stock, my only experience with them wasn't the best (although I am comparing with Nightjet, which may be unfair).

This has been the M.O. for my PhD so far, starting to think it may not work.

Best review yet of The War Between the Land and the Sea.

Been reading your posts.

Vegan Cream of Parsnip Soup with Apple This creamy vegan parsnip soup recipe is flavoured with grated apple and finished with a swirl of pesto and cream.

Anyway, today I made this and it turned out splendidly. Reduced the stock to 1L from1.5 and it worked fine, wouldn't have wanted it any thinner. Thanks to @tinnedtoms.bsky.social for the recipe. theveganlunchbox.co.uk/creamy-vegan...

Enjoyed the first ep of The War Between the Land and the Sea but 2 in a row feels like a bit much so will spin them out a bit. I like Russell Tovey's character so far.

Well I think that's what's generally known as a shock exit #Strictly

Completely earwormed now!

Outstanding

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Same, but I fear it won't be enough to keep her out of the dance off.

Having said that, Guys and Dolls is BY FAR the best musical and gave me my bestest time at university, boogying as a Sally Army general with Nicely-Nicely.

Looks more sheepish to me?

Much as I love Nikita, can we ditch Boring Amber and keep.Balvinder next week please? #Strictly

I can't see Andrew L-W without thinking about his Spitting Image puppet being told by the Melvyn Bragg puppet that his face is inside out.

Wonderful. A Hepburn film I've never managed to watch, but now I really really want to see it.
