ROBIN OF SHERWOOD (1984): Michael Praed was The Hooded Man in Richard Carpenter's dark ITV drama, which fully leant into the mythology of the character. Magic, demons, the supernatural, pagan myth, and Robin's Obi Wan Kenobi, Herne the Hunter, all featured. Still the best Robin Hood ever!

Well it'll be boom time for the weapons manufacturers.
Maybe I should have gone to work for them after all when I had the opportunity. Silly morals getting in the way of me making loads of money.

What the fuck have you done America? What the fuck. This is fucking insane. I can't begin to imagine what'd happen if the US violently invade Greenland. This is madness.

That's it, we're cooked, we weren't any worse than Forest but the way the game developed, the way that every time they hit the ground they got the decision but we didn't, the universe hates us and I guess that's it.

The results notwithstanding, the worst thing about the Ashes is having to fucking listen to Glenn McGrath on the TMS coverage. I just cannot stand him.

Following the news is never good for your mental health, especially if you will dwell on it. I don't think there's a cure for this especially, if like me, you're curious about everything. But it's important to understand and distance yourself from it if you're getting too involved.

Very worthy winner of the the New Year Taskmaster. A few mishaps but they definitely deserved it.
And OMG the line up for the next series. It's so amazing. And no I didn't look at the leak, fuck whoever leaked it or spread the leak.
BUT IT'S SO AMAZING! Please show it before the world ends.

Great line up, great part one. Taskmaster keeps me sane.
Unlike some New Years treats I would love to see this lot having done a whole series. But a double bill will have to do.

I already intend to do nothing of any consequence next year. There'd have to be something catastrophic to change my mind. But ofc nothing we do do is consequential so I guess I can do anything too.
