Now they’re saying that The Terminator is so rugged it looks alien. Well, 80’s Arnie may be pretty rugged, but he’s not alien, he’s from the future! Honestly, I thought these people were supposed to be the cream of humanity.

Outrageous! We’ve spent billions sending these so-called astronauts to the Moon and I’ve just heard them say they’re sat there watching The Terminator. Do some bloody work, you floaty lay-a-bouts!

Anyone else finding it hard to concentrate on doing notes on a sitcom script today…?

Nice piece on the legendary 1 in 12 Club in The Guardian - and even a passing reference to the all-night raves. It felt like a home-from-home in the 90s (if you go to their FB page you can find a photo of a skinny me DJing on the bottom floor. But don’t do that) www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...

Bradford City of Culture closing ceremony. What an amazing year! Huge congrats to everyone involved, particularly the missus.

Oh - are people slagging off a movie they haven’t seen based on a trailer again? Brilliant. Well done everyone. You are all heroes.

Unbelievable! This is what happens when I keep my mouth shut…

You see, this is why I never post about the football. FFS…

Yeeeeeek! COME ON LEEDS!

Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.
