He's been up to his old tricks again. You know the drill:

✅Proggy disco
✅Sex robots
✅Filling rattlers
✅Smiles guaranteed

Run a deep bath. Tip in some Matey. Sprinkle the petals. Spark up the wild rose & suede tealights. See the aura. Feel the spirit.

INHALE.

Watch yer bassbins, I'm tellin' ya.

May as well give each other presents on Paul Daniels' birthday.

I never opted in ☹️

Boxing Day is the flattest of flat days. Even Flat Stanley considers it a downer.

Everything goes downhill after Christmas Eve.

No. 38: Fairport Convention - Tale In Hard Time

1969. Fairport Convention release three albums, all of which, without exception, are magnificent. This, whilst not the most obvious cut, is a 'sum of the parts' example of their enchanting harmonious kinship.

Of course Twenty 4 Seven are from the Netherlands. Why did I have to Google it? #totp

fancymistermark @fancymistermark.bsky.social · 1d

Just finished the 86 #totp. Be thankful I'm not live tweeting - there is PLENTY to say about that Nick Berry video.

Roll on 1990 (time for the Guru, uh!)

Lady Gaga subsequently toned it down several notches, as evidenced by her latest tour.

Al Pacino - the film's ballast - carried on gobbling scenery like the Chewitt's monster.

Jared Leto, well, just continued being Jared Leto and doing Jared Leto things.

It was on BBC2 last christmas (🎵I gave you my heart🎵) and accidentally flicked over to it. Thought I was watching a cut scene from Super Mario Odyssey.

But for the five minutes I was paying attention, it was captivating. It is on my watch list.

Just doing a TL:DL service on the Kermode review.

Apparently one of his worst films of the year.

And I thought I'd just sat through one of 2025's bad apples (The Thursday Murder Club), but clearly with any film starring Jared Leto, you hit quality's rock bottom, and then start digging.

Toilet Break Half-time Film Review

David Tennant: accent 29% East End; 71% East Kilbride

Sir Ben Expositionley

I can't put a fix on Pierce Brosnan's accent - last triangulation revealed Malibu Beach, Dublin and Norfolk all at the same time.

Sets look like a sitcom.

I didn't know they'd had a falling out. Just assumed that it was a case of BT stepping out of the knob twiddling world and doing his own thing. Talking of which, I've got this on vinyl and I really like the Selway dub: youtu.be/9G_xU2Gl-Ww?...

Sorry #totp crowd, I have a father/daughter movie night this evening.

There was strong lobbying for Speed, Point Break and Die Hard, but there was a clear winner..... (sigh) The Thursday Murder Club.

Q: Who's having all the fun?

A: You.

Co-wrote it. Co-produced it, apparently. Got his own remix too.

Write the theme tune. Sing the theme tune... youtu.be/XZoGalw5G9o?...

I think that BT (?!) may have had some involvement in it. I think he did a bit of engineering on the early Deep Dish work. Gonna head off to discogs to check.
