@simonmayo.bsky.social Hey Simon, any news on why the BOTY podcast just… stopped, two months ago? We didn’t even get the usual Q&A after the main Lucy Foley episode. Is it coming back?

Can’t believe I originally did that post with ‘innie’ rather than ‘outie’. Sever me now so that I can forget the embarrassment.

I’d love to pinpoint the precise moment that #TheRestIsEntertainment changed from ‘fun podcast about the inner workings of TV’ to ‘find out who or what we’re sneering at this week’ (brought to you by NordVPN).

I’ve been reading the same book for nearly a month now, and even though I’m really enjoying it, I also can’t wait to be reading something else.

It’s annoying me that they have the prop vital stats monitor prominently in shot, but it hasn’t been programmed to vary the display at all. Martin’s heart rate has been PRECISELY the same for the whole time he’s had it on. #EastEndersLive

Not only am I abroad for my birthday, not only am I in a revolving restaurant, but they just very randomly played the best Kylie song (which, obviously, is Got To Be Certain, don’t @ me)

When this 110g Mini Eggs bar came out in 2020, it cost £1 in Tesco. Not on an offer, just £1, standard price. In 2025, it’s £1.75 on Clubcard price. The price has gone up 75% in five years (or 100% if you believe the standard price of £2).

If my Instagram Reels are to be believed, everyone in the world can do THAT viral dance. Meanwhile, I couldn’t even conceive of my limbs moving in such a coordinated fashion.

I know everyone loves it and I must be the problem, but I’m *really* struggling to stay interested in the second season of #Silo. I don’t really care about any of the characters, and every episode seems to drag so badly.

Every time I see a clip from this stupid podcast, it’s some guest making dubious health claims while Steven Bartlett nods along. Glad I’ve been vindicated in my dislike for him. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Few things enrage me more than “model is 6’ 2” and wearing 32 Regular”. Sorry, why are your Regular length jeans designed for men in the 90th height percentile? Who are the Long and Extra Long ones for??

They should tell the main camp that the junkyard crew have been lying, but make it so that the campmates can’t let on that they know. #ImACeleb

@conversationstreet.bsky.social Here’s a question for your new social media place: Has the Street Cars set recently moved from the exterior set to the interior studio? It suddenly looks quite a bit roomier!
