Wow. I’ve always been in awe of the game but this, this is astonishing

Looking forward to hearing your thinks

You’ll have a good time. Bet you can’t guess how he beats the computer in The General

These children are complicit and will be the first against the wall

I keep meaning to do a rewatch but The Prisoner is my most “treacherous brain” show, in that I love it but always fall asleep to it

My hand holding a book from the Sandy Lane Stables series. The title is Dream Pony. Pictured, is a horse.

The book is opened to the post title page. Pictured on one page is a hand- drawn map of Shady Lane Stables. There is a pond, but no drawings of horses running around. That would be cheap and juvenile

The next pages are covered with a larger map. A cliff drops to the sea. A lighthouse is the only feature on the poetically named Bumpy Old Coastal Road. A cove raises exciting possibilities of adventure and peril. Is the pig farm enemies with the stables? I have to read this book

Didn’t know how seriously the Sandy Lane Stables books would take their lore. I’m very pleased to discover the opening pages are given over to a map of the stables and surrounding fields, followed by a larger scale map putting the stables in the context of the nearby pig farm

Star of the after-dinner speaker circuit

I’m gutted about my no AI rule, I want it to tell me it’s favourite of my two long ones

I love the honking mechanical bra lady, is my main memory

Ech. Thank fuck I only read the woke synopsis

Really? I mean I should have guessed from the era, but fuck sex work shaming into the deepest trench

I just envy her support network

Read the synopsis of Flashdance and it sounds less like “dancing for my life” and more like “dancing with the full support of my handsome boss Nick and mentor Hanna”

An unbranded plastic squeezable ketchup dispenser at a local cafe. I want to put it in my mouth and suck it empty

I know this ketchup is going to be cheap and tart as hell and I can’t wait to eat it all

Fair play, will do

Put a quiet little KoFi in your bio, I looked for one after playing around with scrambled.page

Seems like a good day to remind people that Armando Iannucci co-hosts a podcast with Helen Lewis, making any opinion on him other than "Why hasn't he apologised to the trans community before disappearing from public life?" wholly irrelevant.

I was stood behind someone filming in portrait and constantly struggling to fit Neil and Chris in shot. I know portrait has been OKd by a shit society these days but my friend just rotate your device

Go West was the plan

Going to a Pet Shop Boys gig of non-singles and obscurities tonight. Gonna whisper “whats this one called” until someone punches me

That’s why the camera zoomed in on it every time, I guess. To convey to the viewer how close we’d come, and make us wonder what impulses drove us to play this dangerous game

Vorderman crawling all over the numbers, limbs glitching as she divides by zero

I loved how CoNi changed the iconic pyooo sound at the end of the countdown tune to a northern man saying SLURP

I bet Carol was effin and jeffin

I still get angry that half of the Countdown Clock is never used

They could have had a lovely semi-circle, made the second hand twice as big, and dangled leather tassels off it

But no

Marco Rubio exits, with commentary from One Man and his Dog.

Oh my god that sounds amazing

I have GOT to check out the award winning zoo at Flamingo Land

I started to type out this explanation then thought “no one asked for my life story/a plug for the podcast”

No, did someone make a Japanese honeybee reference about the Uber app
