He died how he strived to live. A dirty little midnight gremlin eating a wholemeal salami and English mustard sandwich in his dimly lit kitchen

Seriously tho. Why is the Northern Line this sodding busy at 23:34 on a Wednesday night?

A packed Camden Town underground platform. Everybody waiting for one of the last three trains coming in.

I’m currently sat in a pub in the west end of London and I am insanely jealous of your culinary choices rn

Four episodes in and I think I’ve spotted the glaring fault with the alternate reality he finds himself in. Thankfully avoided spoilers (which makes a change)

Catching up with Peacemaker s02 and I was not prepared for Ozzy’s Dreamer. Cried my damned eyes out

Spare a thought for the dozens of Brits over a certain age who have Jimmy Saville tattoos

It’s a black tattoo of infamous nonce, Jimmy Saville. Beneath his image is a little mock sigh that reads Stu (with Jim crossed out) Fixed it for me

I had a first year uni student last year with a Kanye bear tattoo. He was 19 years old. Fascinating choice

My favourite Soho tipple

It’s a bottle of Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout in front of mahogany wood panelling

[Scene is a DRINKS PARTY with various monstrous horror characters - proper grown-up, modern horror film type nightmare things - and they are standing around chatting. A little GREEN BLOB MONSTER called Dan is being introduced to the other monsters].

1
MONSTER 1 [introducing the little blob to the other monsters]:
Everybody, this is Dan

GROUP OF THREE MONSTERS:

Hi Dan!

2
MONSTER 2:
Pleased to meet you Dan, I’m Peter

3
MONSTER 3:
I’m Mary

MONSTER 4:
I’m Sean

4
MONSTER 1:
Peter is an extended metaphor for bereavement

5
MONSTER 1:
Mary is a manifestation of intergenerational trauma

6
MONSTER 1:
And Sean is a body-horror chimera expressing the cannibalistic dynamics of late-stage capitalism.

7
MONSTER 4:
And what do you, Dan?

8
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a green blob that lives in the toilet and bites you on the arse.

9
MONSTER 3:
Gosh…
So is that like a metaphor for… society… or…?

BLOB MONSTER:
No.

10
BLOB MONSTER:
I’m a basic, old fashioned, meaningless horror movie monster. I’m a green blob in your toilet. I bite you on the arse.

11
[They all look disgusted]

12
[As the other monsters look awkward and drift away, Blob monster thinks]:

I hate parties

[ends]

I don't want to alarm anyone but my stomach just made a noise that sounded like Hans Moleman quietly saying, "Oh, no".

a cartoon character is standing in front of an x-ray room

Alt: Hans Moleman from The Simpsons is standing in front of an x-ray screen. It's zapping and showing his skeleton. The radiologist has abandoned their post. He's quietly calling out, "Hello"?

Playing the Dead Space remake and Isaac Clarke’s plight is just really funny to me. Everything that could possibly go wrong does go wrong and it’s all so serious and kind of hilarious because of it.

It’s basically Carry On Event Horizon
