I listen to podcasts all the time and thought I was up to date with the Iannucci oeuvre (I won't call it "content") but only found Strong Message Here last week!
The good news is I have a lot of episodes to listen to, the bad news is these magic algorithms aren't doing a good job of promoting it!
Because the tickets are non refundable. But yeah, even so, would be mad to go now. Absolute basketcase of a country.
Are the books good?
I swear I went to school with her.
My BBC Breaking News Alert just popped up with "Doctor who provided Matthew Perry with ketamine..." and I was very confused for a few seconds about what Russell T Davis had planned for the Christmas special.
Do it do it
Does it run into the issues Enterprise had (and Discovery before the burn) where they awkwardly bump up against canon and it's hard to make it work properly, or do they do their own thing?
One day I'm going to get a month sub for Paramount plus and see what all the fuss is about (I think I watched season 1 but then I didn't have the ability to watch it after that. I heard there is an avenue Q esque episode and a lower decks crossover episode?
X-files. I was watching it on BBC2 in the 90s!
Used to tape stuff all the time in the old days, but apart from doctor who (which doesn't suffer from ads) and Rick and Morty, I don't watch anything else on old skool TV, so I'll just have to suffer the ads I guess! At least I can mute it! Non targeted ads just seem so old fashioned!
Thankfully I was spared that as I had to watch it on BBC2 like a pauper. In 2025 I'm just cursing that E4 outbid Netflix for new Rick and Morty so I have to watch pricks dancing on the beach drinking alcopiss before and after every ad break on All4 instead of just clicking and watching it properly.
The little fluffy haired baby is now 10cm taller than me and my brain can't deal with that at all.
The phone keeps feeding me photos of the kids when they were tiny, which seems impossibly long ago, yet also yesterday.
Sounds about right.
It's my birthday in a few days. I'm going to be about 1000 years old.
Text that reads "You wouldn't lie to a Gillian Anderson" in the style of the old anti piracy VHS/DVD ads.
Fraud is one thing, but lying to Gillian Anderson???
Arguably the first lesson is more valuable.
There's a beauty in learning how not to fall into a bonfire, but not how to spell bonfire. *Chef's kiss*
Same. I didn't have the energy to find out, but I'm happy for them, or sad that it happened, or whatever.
Saw a guy driving a brand new 25 plate Tesla, smoking a cigarette. Strange enough seeing anyone smoking (mainly see vapists these days) but this guy was in an EV, but tapping a ciggie out of the window like it's the 80s. I guess a 25 plate Tesla means he's attracted to self-destructive behaviour.
Not as bad as when it's Ramadan and they change it to "Guaranteed not to fast".
Worst. Superhero. Ever.
Meh
They say AI is going to take over the world but when I ask Alexa to "add pain au chocolat to my shopping list" she repeats it back to me as Pain. Gold. Chocolate. Presumably because Au is the symbol for gold.
Our 15 year old still likes the (big basket) swing and do so I, so I'm hoping his younger brother has a few more years of liking it yet. Already had to take the slide off it because they are both too big for that now, *sniff*. (If the older one sat at top of slide his legs would be at the bottom!)
Oh god, I read that as "opened a bear"
Cheese candy sounds gross
:'(
Whiskey?
