🍾"Good news everyone!" 🥳

I now have an online shop at MadeMe.

Not a lot on sale just yet other than my recent signed A6 prints. But it'll be the place for some cute new tat I'm working on - as well as more prints of my work - serious and silly!

These are actually local dealers selling thru' TEMU. Like a lot of Amazon novelty sweets, you can buy them on the high street much cheaper.

Andrew-Mark Thompson @andydrewz.bsky.social · 2d

I know this but there are more than five items to choose from in the offer. No prices or acknowledgement of what is in the offer. I have complained about it.

If TEMU sold chocolate...

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Goody-bag merch from Tory Conference branded "When Labour negotiates Britian loses" and signed "Kemi Badenoch".

The first pic is just standard stock not in the offers.

Andrew-Mark Thompson @andydrewz.bsky.social · 2d

That's the problem though. There is a sign saying five items for five pounds but none of the items in the offer are marked. Also the ice cream is a separate offer 2 for £5 but again none of the items are marked. Been like that for five days now.

Oh my word. That is gorgeous. Never seen one of those sets before. I had some Timpo cowboy buildings that I would've swapped for Camberwick Green houses.

That could be my bedroom too. The Lego bus, the Casdon Cash Register, the Ladybird books. Amazingly nostalgic.

It's because they want to reflect the reality of the diversity of British life.

Yes, the Daily Mail really did publish a whole article today complaining about black people appearing in adverts...

Today's Daily Mail advertisers include Lloyds Bank, Lidl, Imagine Cruising and ROL Cruises

Screenshot of a Daily Mail article with the headline "Why are so many adverts now more interested in diversity than in the reality of British life?". At the top of the article are two images of black people featuring in advertisements.

5pm and it's still Monday.

For the past week, my local Co-op has been experimenting with non-invasive telepathic price labels. Unfortunately I haven't broken out yet so I'm unable to work out the bloody price of anything in their freezer cabinet. 😡

I have the original hardback edition. It has copious pencil notes on the pages from years of using it for research. Would love a COMPLETE new edition. Surprised a "just-the-facts" episode guide book wasn't released for the 60th anniversary. Missed opportunity.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The Repair Shop is real.

Andrew-Mark Thompson @andydrewz.bsky.social · 5d

I hope the missing episodes are sent to those people at The Repair Shop™ They seem to know what they're doing with restoration and shit.

From the Film Is Fabulous Facebook page:

Facebook comment from Film is Fabulous to Justyn Adderley: "Thanks. As mentioned by Sue Malden at our RECOVERED event in May, we are aware of several missing episodes of Doctor Who (Sue stated one of two, but there are more than this) in private film collections in the U.K. We are liaising with the individuals about cataloguing and preserving their entire collection, including the missing Doctor Who episodes, and ensuring that copies are returned to the BBC. We expect to make a detailed announcement shortly."

Say they disguise themselves as humans for most of the film.

It actually has a wonderful doom-laden atmosphere to it.

Whilst the late Jane Goodall found this Far Side cartoon hilarious, her friends and colleagues didn't and began an attempt to sue artist Gary Larson before Goodall stopped them.
