The BBC - "Watch now on BBC iPlayer, or whenever you like it's up to you, you're in charge of the schedule now, it's 2025."

Other media - "Didn't watch Celebrity Traitors last night? Fuck you!"

Zia Yusuf on Kuensberg to discuss "Prince" Andrew. Why? His party is not in power, not are they the opposition. It just feels lazy at this point.

I've not laughed at something as hard as I did at The Chair Company since The Driving Crooner sketch on I Think You Should Leave. Granted, it's not that long between them and they're both same people, but they're simply too good.

Dear filmmakers, please stop having things appear outside the aspect ratio. It looks terrible.

I've watched every "The Godfather" over a 72 hour period, and my first time watching Part III albeit as Coda. I have to say they have the most annoying diegetic use of a film score I've ever seen.

From @theguardian.com

"Farage is now enduring sustained heckling from the Liberal Democrats.

He says he has never seen so many Lib Dems in the chamber."

Because he's never fucking there.

@glossopimprov.bsky.social is this still going?

Is "Game of Wool" supposed to be pun on something?

Watching The Iron Claw. How Zac Efron isn't He-Man in the upcoming Masters of the Universe beggars belief.

If I threaten to leave Netflix do they offer you a discount?

Remember, when we reach 100 followers we'll reveal the celebrity caught sneaking into the left-hand lane going up Mottram Moor.

I went to the Crystal Ballroom for the Glossop Comedy Club last night. What a show. Really excellent acts, as ever.

Doing a BBC impartiality webinar so I can ask the same question and not get an answer for the fourth year in a row.

I tried Firefox for Android for the last three months and today I got to a point where I wanted to smash my phone. That fucking thing reloaded a webpage every time I left the app, meaning verification codes by text or email were impossible. I'm sure it's just me.

It is 18th October 2025. I have yet to put my central heating on in my decently insulated home. My friends and I are having a light-hearted joke about being the first to cave. Sadly, and shockingly, there's probably people on my street who would love to cave, but can't afford to.

I like to think that the guy Gloria Gaynor was singing to was Major Tom from "Space Oddity".

I've just finished the "Interview with the Vampire" TV series, and now I'm watching the film. Not a single bare arse or bisexual three way! Come on Tom and Brad, at least snog.

I remember my Nana's landline, my old landline, my mate's landline, and about ten German sex-lines from watching VOX and RTL2 on analogue Sky in the late 90s.
The only phone numbers I know by heart anymore:

- mine
- my wife’s
- my landline number from when I first moved to LA
- my childhood home
- a Philadelphia community helpline that advertised on local TV with the jingle “CALL for ACT-ION! GREENwood SEVen five THREE one TWO!”
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Romesh Ranganathan has got a new series coming to Amazon Prime. So that's BBC TV and radio, ITV, a new podcast series, Sky and now Amazon. Come on Romesh, where's the Netflix, Disney+ and Apple TV projects? Lazy.
