All this colander chat in advance of this evening's astronomical funtimes reminds me of this, the greatest band merch ever
Insane demand for newly released The Odyssey tickets at BFI IMAX! Capacity of venue is only 500, so no chance this time.
It could have been a lot worse - a viewer literally died laughing while watching 'Kung Fu Kapers'!
Please enjoy this picture I took yesterday of Adam Buxton wearing a big David Byrne suit.
Ran past this AI slop signage this morning on a trip back to Cardiff, recognised it from when someone else’s picture of it went viral a while ago #chunbypeas
Absolutely lovely bit of wireframed character animation in Blender (the brilliant handiwork of u/pelle_bostrom on Reddit).
ITVX is terrible - it’s been freezing all evening and has the temerity to issue weasel-worded victim-blaming error messages like this. Yes obviously my hardwired gigabit connection is the problem
Also I’m relieved they’re sticking with the original name after this ill-advised rebrand I spotted online last year
Lovely bit of nom. det. in the Guardian today in the form of vineyard manager Anna Vine
Terrific photo of Celtic footballer Alistair Johnston on Guardian website. Hats off to photographer Stuart Wallace
Went to the V&A yesterday and enjoyed this 16th century polychrome sculpture entitled ‘St Tom Baker And Child’
Loved this episode, thank you! And yes per Graeme, this was firmly unspoiled on first transmission. JN-T was apparently offered a Radio Times cover but turned it down. Attached is RT listing for both eps that week - the cliffhanger popped my 12 year old brain like a cherry tomato on a griddle.
I went yesterday to the Design Museum exhibition about the New Romantic movement and was very pleased they had “Nice Video, Shame About The Song” playing on a loop
Surprised myself with a (just) sub 1h55m HM finish at Cambridge this morning! Tragically I am now incapable of walking and shall have to be conveyed everywhere this week in a howdah
Ah, Evri, the company for whom 'parcel was left on an outside porch' means 'parcel was dumped, four days late, on an allotment 100m from your house'. Satan's very own delivery company.
The local Evri bloke who knows where our house is must be off for some winter sun right now as current delivery is 2 days late with customer-blaming excuses like this one. Grrrrr.
