@comedyclub4kids.bsky.social definite workshop potential, here!
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Absolutely delighted to find a *paper* copy of Nightshift in Oxford today! Issue 347!!!

Somewhat hilarious that their track of the year (2025!) is Young Knives (I remember when they were Pony Club!) and the top 20 includes The Unbelievable Truth, Swervedriver and ARTHUR TURNER'S LOVECHILD!!!

In April 1993 both D:Ream and Sting appeared on Top Of The Pops. D:Ream singer Peter Cunnah asked the former Police frontman if he'd like to stroke his springer spaniel, which he'd brought to the studio for emotional support, but Sting would only pet setters.

Selling coals to Newcastle, this thinks its lovingly selling panto to the world, this Kiefer Sutherland accidentally signs up to play Buttons in a small Yorkshire town is very parochial. Lots of thin archetypes and tries to satirise whilst celebrating, and of course Daddy Issues

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

Between them ‘Municipal Gothic’ and ‘Intervals of Darkness’ have 27 stories full of haunted buildings, haunted people, and working class weirdness. Obviously *I* think they're great – but so do strangers who owe me nothing!
