Alan walking in his cloak with the lantern is the TV moment of the year. Can we have it on a loop? #CelebrityTraitors

If Alan Carr is a traitor it will be TV gold #CelebrityTraitors

I have drawn Clare Balding in the office #CelebtityTraitors sweepstake. I am confident, yet nervous.

Amazing thing I learned today.
Nelson Gabriel in #TheArchers and Igor in Count Duckula were voiced by the same actor.

My Eurobash strip has arrived.
Hope I make the squad.

Thanks to everyone who came to see our play Big Potatoes last night. We had a great response, good to know we haven’t had our chips just yet.

Think I’m reading this Beano on the same beach where Jon Pertwee once got legged by a Sea Devil #IsleOfWight

Off out to a do. Rubbed so much dubbin into me cherry reds, they may be visible from space.

Jamie McLoughlin @jamiematic5.bsky.social · 14d

Yup.

I would do a tombola where the first prize is a pair of Victoria sponges #GBBO

I once made school cake, so this must mean I am capable of winning #GBBO

Really enjoying the Scarred For Life podcasts this week, there's a great back catalogue for newbies to binge. Special mention has to go to this edition featuring @ofalafel.bsky.social - good to know I wasn't the only person whose love of Oink! comic was frowned upon. open.spotify.com/episode/3FrX...

Haven’t had any of my writing performed in public for about four years now. Loved popping into rehearsals for Big Potatoes tonight. We’re on at Liverpool Arts Bar on Hope Street on 2 October! Tickets at: www.liverpoolartsbar.com/events/

The time has come. I need to pick the two bakers for my #GBBO champion bet with my mate. These two bakers will inevitably go home over the next two weeks.

Any odds offered on Bramber/Ambrad happening the night before George’s release? #TheArchers

Not saying I've reached a certain age or anything, but just said out loud to myself, "Now, THAT is a nice cardigan."
