One good thing about the Middle East conflict is people pretending they know what the Strait of Hormuz is. You can drop it casually into conversation to sound impressive. “I think you’ll find it’s all about the Strait of Hormuz.” You can even call it “Strait of Hornuz “, and nobody notices.
Harry Styles doppelgänger, Dr Seuss’s Cat In The Hat, with snazzy red scarf and red/white top hat.
New Harry Styles album’s out.
The Meet The Fockers actor Dustin Hoffman, young and in black and white.
Franz Kafka on the most exciting day of his life.
My print Perky Wicker Man. It's the wicker man but happy.
I understand it's the 52nd birthday of The Wicker Man.

Tower restaurant/old Radio City building in Liverpool… well, towering.

The actor Peter Weller really hates the singer Paul Weller and calls him the Robomod (father).

I enjoy the Knowing Me… DVD commentary where Armando Iannucci says Alan hasn’t turned up because “he’s got bats.”
If I were a brasher, wealthier person, I’d yell things like “More Weetabix, garçon!” across crowded restaurants.
But I do have similar issues with the universe of Partridge. If Alan’s world is the reality, was he knowingly participating in a self-humiliating satire in The Day Today?
Is Waterloo Blah set in an alt-universe where Eight Out Of Ten Cats doesn’t exist? And if so, how do I get there?
A wretched moggy kips.
Andy has been with us for just over three weeks now. We’ve decided to forgive him for his shortcomings.
“Rey effective”. Snort! Very.
I’ve seen a chunk of ep 3 only (in the day job) and quite liked it but felt it could go bobbins, as I think Code Of Silence did. But it is. Rey effective at making you think, “How would I deal with him if our paths crossed?”
Or “Wot’s… uh, the deal?” if you will.

White font, capital letters on black background: “A PHOTO WITHIN A PHOTO WITHIN A PHOTO.”
No cover artwork for Pink Floyd albums on the iTunes app, just descriptions like this. What’s going on?

He must be one of those “vulgar optimists” I keep hearing about.
White cat with black markings fast asleep in his bed, one paw outstretched.

Meet Tomkinson - 11 years old, ex-Cats’ Protection, resembles a small cow. Nice padding on the stairs.
Jeepers, are mid-‘70s Newcastle United never not on Big Match Revisited?
..one thing he’s made apparent, as if there were ever any doubt, is what an appalling fraud Derek Hatton was, is and always will be.
Adam Curtis is as much of a good media collagist as anything else, whose work I enjoy on that level. He seems to have given up trying to form cogent thoughts out of disparate sources with his latest (Shifty, Player), or as much style as before. But…
Vinyl single cover- band: Drama, song: Don’t Do It, with Not Funny as the B side.
Bit restrictive.

More swag!

Sopranos- penultimate episode. How does he find time for an appointment with Dr Melfi when he’s got a full-on gang war on?
