A screenshot of British, Channel 4 sitcom "The Inbetweeners". The four teenage lads are driving to London in a bright yellow car (with one red door) and Jay is hanging out of the window

In the actual episode this is when he shouts BUS WANKERS at people waiting on the bus.

Here the caption is "MEASURES IN CUPS" WANKERS!

Final result was 51 of 54 Alt Text less graphic attached is the bottom 5 slots of the table

Game 3 done and Bretonnian Knights fought me to a 3-1 defeat For a grand total of 0 points, -9 touchdowns and -11 touchdowns, the worst in the tournament However, thats not the tie breakers we are using here, but a system called Buchholz or BHZ....

A game of blood bowl in progress with a posse of Bretonnian knights advancing a ball carrier with a cage down the wings past Elves

The Elves are in orange and purple with mohawks. The Bretpnnians are in bise ted yellow and black tabards over their silvery chainmail

Fair play to opponent 2 and his chaos dwarves, he is not playing a boring stallball game The Bull Centaurs are going for every touchdown they can as fast as they can, including an amazing interception before the end of half one.

Blood bowl game in progress, lining up for the kick off. Elves and Chaos Dwarves are playing. Dice, drinks and tokens are scattered about.

The Elves are in orange and purple with mohawks. The Chaos Dwarves are maroony purple and pale purple

Game 1 was vs Chaos Chosen, represented by this lovely Greebo Games piggy team I got my ass kicked 3-1, with the last Chaos touchdown squaked on in the last turn. Five Elves in Casualty box and one sent off for a not-quite-impressive-enough foul on the Gre.

An image of play near the end of the Elves vs Chaos game. The ball (marked by a saltire token) is surrounded by unclaimed after an Elven catcher did a desperate blitz.

The Elves are in orange and purple with mohawks. The Chaos are pigs and boars in yellow armour with green robes

The sidelines of the game showing one Elf sent off, one Koed and 5 in casualty/dead. (Including two throwers and three linemen, one with a cone on his head)

The Elves are in orange and purple with mohawks.

Its that time of year again! Glasbowl V, the local Blood Bowl tournament. This time I brought Elven Union. I have managed the wooden spoon on two of four years. Can I make this year the hat trick and get it named the George Quail Memorial Wooden Spoon On the bright side I did get pretty dice

Two six sided dice in a vaguely translucent green. The 6 is replaced with an image of the head of a Goblin wearing a traffic cone on his head, in the style of Glasweigans "coning" statues. The Goblin has 2026 in small writing by his head to mark this is the fifth year of the tournament.

A still from Twin Peaks season 2 episode 9, "Arbitrary Law". Miguel Ferrer as FBI Special Agent Albert Rosenfield is standing in a forest of Fir trees, arms crossed in a large beige coat. Looking to the side he is delivering the following line

"Maybe that's all BOB is. The evil that men do"

However the word BOB is crudely scrawled out and Impact font text, in classic meme style, instead replaces it with NIGEL FARAGE

Glasgow Central Station is still a bit battle damaged from the Union Street fire - and a loud fire alarm test is more cutting noise than I was expecting - but I will be shortly going southbound to #London for a few days. How much money will I waste in the #Transformers store? PLACE BETS NOW!

George - a forty something white guy with messy brown hair, sideburns, a dimple and red Vivianne Westwood glasses with one lens frosted over - is sat at a bench in the middle of Glasgow Central Station amongst other passengers with newspapers, luggage etc.

In the background, metal fencing is up to block the north and east exit due to a major fire on the adjacent Union Street earlier inbthe year. The background includes the expected shops, clock and signage... but also an artillery shell on a plinth, a local landmark.

George is wearing a white T-shirt and a blue jacket. He is staring up at the ceiling, a somewhat pained/tired look on his face, while a fire alarm test is carried out that isn persisting for QUITE SOME TIME.

"You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal!"

Tony Blair, talking about.... something? Probably ID cards, war crimes or ID cards for war crimes

More #BloodBowl Deathbowl 7s pitch progress - the white lines have been repainted (killing an Uni Posca paint marker in the progress) and some dark earthy splodges have been added to make the pitch look like its seen some action. #warhammer #warmonger #bruhammer

The same pitch as the pictures in the a kve thread. Dark brown patches - with smaller light brown patches in them - are scattered around the field, intensed to resemble vare patches of earth where grass has been worn away through play. The white markings for squares have been redrawn and are brighter

George Quail@gquail· May 14

Grass stripes and coloured end zones now added White lines need touching up but the stripes are definitely helping. Next steps - end zone text, payches of mud/blood about the pitch

The previous grass mat pitch (see post 1) but now with alternating light green and dark green rows of squares. The endzones have been coloured- orange on top, black on right, blue on bottom and light grey on left.

The stripes and endzones are obscuring the white pitch marking lines that had previously been added

George Quail@gquail· May 12

I had a couple of hours to myself, some paint markers, a steel ruler and a grass mat from Lidl. Here is my WIP bodged together "Deathbowl 7s" pitch for 4 player Blood Bowl

A synthetic grass mat (designed for gardens and conservatories) that is covered in white paint lines and crosses. (Two thicknesses of white paint marker can be seen at the bottom)

The egfect is a cross shaped board for playing "Death Bowl", a four player variant of fantasyvsports game "Blood Bowl", so the markings look like a sports pitch with a central section, four main play areas, "wide zones" to the side and end zones at the end of each leg of the cross

In the dead centre, squares are marked 1 to 8 in a vaguely clock like fashion

Face reveal. Wrong answers only

Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier in Doctor Who.

Specifically the alternate universe "evil" version from Inferno (Series 7, serial 4) with an eyepatch, no moustache and a more fascist military uniform.

He is holding a phone headset to his ear

George Quail@gquail· Feb 14

Another Valentine's Day with @ailsalongmuir.bsky.ssaucer. I got her a cup, saucer and stickers - she got me an eyepatch and a badge. (Which also reveals what our recent TV watching has been) Off to Edinburgh tonight for @ditavonteese.bsky.social

A picture of two items on a plain, pale wooden table. On the right is a black eyepatch covered in black sequins - the sequins glimmer almost blue on the light. On the left is a dark wooden badge of a "One Eyed Jacks" poker chip, with a section broken off - this is a design used in the 1990s TV show "Twin Peaks" at a Canadian casino/brothel. The badge is on a red cardboard tag that identifies it as a HANDMADE WOODEN PIN and by SUB710.ETSY.COM

Nothing sinister about Mr Hoppy

A screenshot from Monkey Dust, a BBC animated series that was very dark in humour. Here a man only just freed from prison after being framed for a crime in the 70s has just left prison and is goinf home on his orange space hopper "mr hoppy"

George Quail@gquail· Jan 31

....this has big Doctor Blight energy. (Complimentary) OK maybe that's just when I was a kid

Screenshot from 90s kids cartoon "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" showing Doctor Blight, a villain originally voiced by Meg Ryan

Dr. Blight is a middle-aged caucasian female scientist in a pink/maroon spandex jumpsuits with a yellow badge and blue collar/sleeves. Black gloves are barely visible in shot and she is holding some sort of technical gizmo in her hand. (A scifi perfume atomiser perhaps?)

She has chin-length blonde hair with a distinctive white streak of hair acting as a curtain to cover the left side of her face. (The cartoon character is scarred under there which, hmmm, some problematic "facial disfigurements equals evil" stuff going on there)

Anyway, this is all to say that maverick broadcaster @e-loud.bsky.social has a cool Doctor Who rela5ed credit. ...But unless he's done something with Paul McGann and Camille Coudri, Gannon is right that @soozuk.bsky.social absolutely still wins. (Comics, audio and all sorts!)

The cover to Big Finish Doctor Who release "Doom's Day - Dying Hours".

A photomontage shows scifi assassin Doom (played by comedian and dressage enthusiast Sooz Kempner) alongside the 8th Doctor and Charley (dressed in medieval gear like a knight and squire), Jackie Tyler (grumpilly crossing her arms in a blue hoodies) and two members of alien race The Silence.

There's other creepy aliend and imagery, including a London Taxi whose registration plate says "B4D W01F" i.e. Bad Wolf

George Quail@gquail· Jan 15

@obversebooks.co.uk do a great guide book to the topic, also called Downtime. SEE IT'S A PUNE OR PLAY ON WORDS obversebooks.co.uk/product/down... Obverse know their stuff here as they also produce modern incarnations of the same thing - I enjoy their Faction Paradox material.

The cover to "Downtime - The Lost Years of Doctor Who". A cartoon rendition of various characters and actors from the spin-offs, some clearly recognisable to Who fans as familiar actors like Sylvester McCoy or Sophie Aldred but in new guises.

George Quail@gquail· Jan 15

Others included things like PROBE, a series which was an "X-Files but with Liz Shaw". Common to these is using old Who actors in new roles alongside genuine Who characters, which means there's about 20 people who look or sound like Colin Baker or Sophie Aldred

The cover to "PROBE: the Zero Imperative", a 1995 straight to VHS featuring several Doctor who actors - but also Caroline John playing her 1970 character Liz Shaw

George Quail@gquail· Jan 15

I think the Tardis Wiki page for the students in this film includes Eli in the bottom left, which was an odd find - beardless, beardless I tell you! @e-loud.bsky.social was this a very early bit of work for you?

A shot of "Downtime" a straight to VHS film from 1995. In this scene we sse a 90s open plan office with students all sitting in front of desktop computers, each waearing a uniform of dark green top with yellow writing & yellow baseball cap. They are staring in unison, almost menacingly, at the camera

George Quail@gquail· Jan 15

Listening to Friday's @cheapshow.bsky.social as a Doctor Who nerd took me on a weird sidetrack discovering @e-loud.bsky.social was in a straight to video Wilderness Years project. (Eli has a point, BTW, Paul - it was Downtime, one of only two such videos to ever get an official Who novelisation)

Cover to mid 90s doctor who novel "Downtime" by Marc Platt

The standard for the time Doctor Who Missing Adventures cover format - two painted portraits on the left show two of the protagoniats (in this case The Brigadier and Victoria, as its a Doctor-less adventure) while the right hand side is a scene from the novel (a Yeti in front of orbs, In a misty scene with what looks like St Pauls Cathedral in the background)

George Quail@gquail· Jan 15

Posta game you remember playing that nobody else remembers. If I ever get on @looksunfamiliar.bsky.social , this would be one of my choices, even though I'd get mocked for being a teacher's kid who had an Acorn Archimedes. 😁

The title screen to TwinWorld on the Acorn Archimedes. A three headed green deagon breathes fire is the main element of a fantastical scene, including a castle and mointains.

George Quail@gquail· Jan 9

I feel ya on this one.

A screenshot from Bojack Horseman in which Bojack (a horse headed human) and Diane (a korean-american human) are talking at a balcony outside at a Hollywood party

DIANE: "you're responsible for your own happiness, you know?"

BOJACK: "Good Lord, that's depressing"

George Quail@gquail· Dec 30

Ensign Beckett Mariner from Star Trek: Lower Decks. (An animated series) a young african-american woman with long black hair in some sort of ponytail, she is wearing a blue/green hospital gown.

Two security officers in mustard yellow outfits are restraining her - on the left an afro-carribean man with a black beard, on the right a purple/indigo skinned man who is clean shaven.

She shouts towards someone and the caption reads "JOKE'S ON YOU MAN, I LOVE THE HORNY BRIG"

George Quail@gquail· Dec 27

...seperated at birth?

Krumm, one of the main characters of Nickelodeon cartoon series "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters!"

An orange lumpy creature with black hairs protruding, including thick underarm hair. He is effectively a head/torso combo on little stumpy legs - his mouth is in the middle of his chest, his nose is st the top of his body.

His eyeballs have no eye sockets and instead are loose - they are being carried in his hands, one in each being held up as though his arms were antenna. His lips are a sickly blue

George Quail@gquail· Dec 20

Apologies for no "real" video version of either but the actual puppets-performing version is not on YouTube. We can get the 2020s series or its live show but.... nah, its fine mate. So here's the cover of the Santa Claus single instead to give you the general idea. (Cw: Weapon / Suicide)

The cover to the 1986 single "Santa Claus Is On The Dole" by Spitting Image

A latex, grotesque puppet of Santa Claus is dressed in the expected white beard/red suit with white trimmings. He is holding "Ye Olde UB40" in his right hand - a reference to then-contemporary document UB40 for claiming unemployment benefit in the UK.

In his left hand he has a revolver and is pressing it up against his head, his left eye squinting as he brings the barrel to bear. The clear implication is Santa is at least contemplating if not about to carry out suicide by self-inflicfed gunshot. Or as the kids would say these days, "unalive himself".
