Snuff Box outtakes? Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher's finest work? Yes please. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT9L...

Ah yes, someone's already posted "Shatner's Bassoon" Edmonds gif in the comments.

This video has the air of a Brass Eye piece. Surely Chris Morris wrote "He deserves better than being replaced by a badger"?

Peninsular is when you keep all your pens to yourself.

They finished it just right - I was worried they'd either not tie up any of the loose ends or tie them up too tight. There's enough perhaps for another series but I'm happy for the story to go on in my imagination.

There were these NatWest ones: www.ebay.co.uk/b/bn_7023472...

Of course I'm old enough to remember NatWest animal cheque books www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20515846...

What are these "bank notes" and "coins" I keep hearing about today?

Sir Nigel Gresley steaming past @lancasteruni.bsky.social today!

Its called "freedom kissing" now.

Can't wait to see my writing reviewed by Bobson Dugnutt.

Goalkeepers in green, referees in black, that's the rules...

For the 4.45 Government Hurdles my money's on Covid Superspreader.

The best explanatory variable for a health outcome is income.

MT Jones' Pink Pancakes as well?

Was this not the Sun's headline when C4 started using that red triangle thing?

Its the difference between the opinion: "I find this art boring" and the statement-as-fact: "This art is boring" which is too subtle for media discourse these days...

A project maintaining the health and safety of trees and woodlands, including tree felling, is being carried out on campus from Tuesday 17 March. Get outside in the spring weather by joining a campus treasure hunt organised by the Facilities Team on Tuesday 17 March at 12pm.

I feel one of these two things should have been rescheduled...

I don't suppose any of my followers have access to the MMU (Manchester Metropolitan University) Visual Resources Centre, do they? The Centre has a slide that, if rescanned in high-res, could relieve my obsession. When I last asked, they couldn't find it.
But it *must* be there somewhere, right?

I've had hours stolen from *my birthdays* in the past because it happens around UK daylight savings time switch!

In 1989, Renault chose to advertise their new Renault 21 with this frankly incredible homage to Scarred for Life Year Zero programme The Prisoner. Enn Reitel stands in for Patrick McGoohan's voice at the end. They tried to get the man himself, and I can imagine how well that conversation went...

Out for a little walk up the Lune. Two dippers on a stranded driftwood tree by the Crook o'Lune bridge. Grey wagtails. A goldcrest. A few goosander going with the flow on the river.

Yeah the quarterback should give it to the running forwards and go for a first down.

My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!

I keep hearing the trailer for the Henrik Ibsen season on the BBC and wondering who this Henry Gibson bloke is.
