First update in a little while for the feed of every single* UK comedy and UK comedy adjacent (whatever that means) people.
Starter packs are great, but as they're being abused the feed is not bad

Looking around at my hobbies since the summer wondering if anyone would be interested in a podcast on the optimal way to fit 3 runs into the week alongside unnecessary DIY and the housework
I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

I have to use Facebook for a couple of groups I'm in, it's as anonymous as it can be. The suggested contacts it gives me are still conceivable, complete strangers.
It's been cycling through the same people now I'm starting to think I actually know them when I see their name

Spent the day in a very clearly overwhelmed A&E department (not for me and everything is fine) and my god the NHS, right? Bloody marvellous, every single person who works there

It's been a long time since I dated, but seeing the reaction of those who are surprised by a fictional Joe Wilkinson hitting it off with a fictional Keira Knightly makes me think that I have a better idea than most when it comes to dating 40 year old women

Brad Pitt about to record his latest stand up special where he explores his comedy journey through audience interaction
"Okay, so you're Brad Pitt?
That don't impress me much (oh, oh, ooh)
So why are you dressed like a
70's velour sofa that has been left
out in the rain for the past week?"

I *still* believe that the BBC is excellent, despite its ever growing list of flaws.
*When* it's sold off for parts future generations won't know what they missed

There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate

I don't hate Black Friday because you can no longer get a massive telly for way too cheap.
I hate it because it absolutely paralyses my spending for the month of November. I just don't believe that anything is the correct price, it's all inflated so that it can be 'reduced' back to normal for BF

It's that time of year where comedians announce their 'UK Tour' consisting of exclusively places south of Bristol plus Edinburgh.
If you ask really nicely they might throw in a Liverpool OR Manchester

Honestly Celeb Traitors was some of the best TV ever. Just perfect. What a tonic.

On this, the day of the penultimate series 20 Taskmaster, I'm calling it. This is my favourite series in recent memory.
There's something about it, it's got a charm of the early series. The contestants are all hits. The tasks are beautifully silly.
I enjoy every season, but this one is special.

Watching an Aussie clip of #TheFootball and their pundits are presenting from outside a cafe with a glass of water each. I know it's morning over there but it was so much nicer to watch than our massive ott green screen studios

"see, the thing is, I wasn't getting as much attention as I wanted on panel shows, so I came up with something so obnoxious that it couldn't be edited out. That way, everyone would know I was there, even if the section had nothing to do with me"

Taskmaster has such an insane amount of content on their official YouTube. Stuff that is so recent as well. It's probably not news to a lot of people, but you can watch hours of actual shows on there

I always like to know it's perfectly possible to have the same tech and phones as the wealthy.
Sure theirs might be gold plated, but they're still stuck with the same bugs as you.
That update has also ruined their perfectly good experience.
That targeted ad, app, bloat, is on their device too
