Heard a great phrase that was new to me this evening. “Verbal banana skin”. If you’re not familiar, and if my understanding is correct, it means to avoid baited conversation that draws you into a discussion of opinion.

Good luck.
I’ve dabbled with Insta and with TikTok for Puppet Nation. TikTok has a large community of book enthusiasts. You could use your readings on all three platforms.
Presenting Boniek, my new Hip-Pop musical project. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yXMH...
I wonder if there is an aural equivalent of that Leo picture for when Ray Parker Jr heard I Want A New Drug? m.youtube.com/watch?v=N6uE...
Rod Stewart’s best vocal? And do I hear a little of Glory Box here? Did Portishead sample it? m.youtube.com/watch?v=dcLl...
Hip-pop. Is hip-pop a genre? What I like most about this is the pilot’s interlude.

“I was about to stop him and ask him questions for a poll, when his eyes flickered with recognition. It was then that he bit two of his fingers off.”
Wearing high-vis is as close as a human can get to knowing what it’s like to be a God.
Is it for, “just in case, you never know when you might need it”? Or do you regular wear it and abuse its powers?
Teams of criminals wearing high-vis turn up in broad daylight and load expensive cars from the street onto the back of trucks and drive off. Nobody will question them. Few will even recall seeing them do it. Wearing high-vis is like possessing several superpowers at once.
In addition to being an invincibility cloak, you can do almost anything while wearing high-vis apparel. It’s like a Sheriff’s badge that allows you in places and to do things, no questions asked. No one will ever stop you to ask what you’re doing while you’re wearing your fluorescent coat.
In my teens I used to wear a ridiculous large fluorescent coat and tell people “I won’t be seen dead in this”. And do you know what? I was right. I was never killed in that coat. Never died. Not even once.
And a diagnosis for the man himself.
I think it tells us a lot about American policing if he is able to reach the rank of Inspector.😬
It was a lot of fun. Subversive in that it presented the adult as a hapless fool and the child and the dog as the brains.
If you fail to smile when the Inspector Gadget theme is played, you may wish to visit your doctor. You could be dead on the inside. m.youtube.com/watch?v=SWcf...
Blankety Blank theme tune going round my head. Only it’s: Trumpety Trump.
Please send help.
Churchill said the first casualty of war is the truth, but I think it’s actually my bravery. I come very a very long line of successful cowards who feigned death or hid on most of the major battlefields in history.
You never see a happy jogger.
You’re from round here. Did you ever get to see The Bog Rolling Stones? Bill Pieman is definitely the coolest. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QLbV...
Watched about half of Man on the Run last night before sleep came calling. It tells an interesting post Beatles tale. Looking forward to watching the rest later. To those who’ve seen it, what are your thoughts on it?
Skills.
“It's Virginia Plain on bikers bathtub sulphate.”🤣👏
Beware the eyes. Look in them too long and you will be swallowed up by the damnation of a thousand lost souls. Anyway, good morning.

Ahem. Please be assured, or rather, please be absurd and know that any purchase of my albums will go to getting myself a sensible hairdo. impossiblemule.bandcamp.com
