Just visited a church in Prague.

I was a little surprised to see that before he moved to Devil's End, a certain renegade was putting a shift in here.

Seems quite fitting listening to the second volume of @bigfinish.bsky.social V series whilst travelling between Germany & Poland on a Holocaust / WW2 tour.

Great stuff from @eddierobson.bsky.social et al under the watchful eye of @jonnymorris.bsky.social

When's volume 3 coming? 😀

Timeless children should be seen and not heard.

And preferably not seen either.

That's why you're a scientist!

I'm guessing using a washing machine for cooking might be possible for a very watery soup or cleaning salad, but wouldn't want to try a baked potato or a Sunday Roast.

1) Deport individuals who've been here the years & set high income requirements for others.

2) See exodus of workers in care & health sectors.

3) Claim NHS is now a total failure.

4) Move to insurance based system.

5) Make millions from US contracts at the cost of UK citizens' well-being.

One for #DoctorWho fans.

Batley town centre is being revamped and apparently will be paying homage to the David Tennant story "Army of Ghosts".

We got our own version of 'Thursday Murder Club' on NITFLIX, but it called 'THE MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MURDER CLUB'.
It about a bunch of elderly Ogrons living in a retirement home.
But it less about SOLVING murders and more about PLANNING them!😁

Does Octopus Prime mean him turn up the next day (but later than expected) and either to Uggo's cave by mistake or is thrown over your fence?

Farage: I'll stop all immigrants, including children.

Next day: I'll exclude children from the stop all immigrants statement.

Farage: I'll stop all the small boats within 2 weeks of winning the election.

Next day: I'll stop all the small boats after 2 weeks of passing a law.

Waiting for The Roses to start, I thought "seems rather soon to do a remake of War of the Roses".

It was 1989... 36 years ago.

There were only 26 years between Universal's Frankenstein & Hammer's Curse of Frankenstein.

Or from another perspective, I was still at University and now I've retired.

I almost fell out of love with Doctor Who after season 17.

Season 18 under an energetic JNT and a focused script editor in Christopher H Bidmead brought it back for me.

I loved Bidmead's vision and his stories. Logopolis remains in my top 10 of all time.

Farewell.

The deluxe editions coming out of Hammer - Captain Kronos, Quatermass, and now Curse of Frankenstein are really some of the best sets of anything out there.

A mock-up of a Star Trek: Strange New Worlds novel in the style of an old Paperback book.

Illustration shows Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and Commander Kirk (Paul Wesley) against a backdrop of the starship Enterprise in space approaching a volcanic planet.

Text reads "Star Trek: Why Are You Always On My Ship? - a new novel by Christopher Pike"

Tagline reads "When Kirk shows up yet again, Pike must confront him and ask one question."
