Cliff Richard’s Wuthering Heights looks more authentic than the latest version:

Certainly more fun anyway
Kept falling asleep yesterday in the dentist’s chair despite having that in my gob and drills and brushes and shit whirring away. How come I can fall asleep there but struggle so much to sleep at night in bed? 😆
There aren’t many joyful sights in February 2026, but this is one of them:
The Democracy Manifest guy being manhandled into a red car by the cops. He's now Andy Windsor and one of the arresting officers is Paddington Bear, who always puts in a shift regardless of his day job as a Peruvian psychopomp.
"Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Trading secrets? Trading succulent state secrets?"
A screenshot from the Graham Linehan Facebook page, dated January 26, 2017. "Here's something to watch for: sub-par entertainers/hacks etc smelling that sweet right wing sucker money and making their move."
Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.
Just bought a ticket to see Bone Temple at a Vue - it now has an even more confusing pricing structure - the most expensive seats are twice the price of the cheapest but they are in the worst location at the back. Is it just cos they’re massive seats that won’t fit down the front?
Tsk, such a bad way to watch a tv show
Now wipe your nose and get back to work, peasants!
I know I must be officially old now cos I bought my first ever cardigan. I also appear to morphing into a stereotypical librarian.
Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He had used promo code ORWELL1984 to get his first month free with BetterHelp
Wholesome graffiti FTW:
Have you read Prey? I would describe that as wonderful nonsense too.
We haven’t had owt from Chris Morris recently cos he’s got a new job. He must be exhausted though, so can we have Bob Mortimer take over now?
Catching up with the last two episodes of Pluribus and am disturbed to discover that THEY have somehow never listened to The KLF’s Chill Out
You are speaking my language
(though I am unhappy with the design of that book cover)
HAPPY NEW YEAR, SLAVES!
Has anyone got any tips for getting rid of candle wax from a cotton sweater that can only be machine-washed on cold? I’ve already stuck it in the freezer to iron with paper towels, but I suspect that a greasy stain will still remain.
#LIFF2025 Film 12: The Thing With Feathers
Bendy Sasquatch normally irritates me, so I was surprised how good he was here. Shame the Crow/supernatural element doesn’t work as well as the moving depictions of familial grief portrayed here, particularly by the childen.

#LIFF2025 Film 11: It Was Just An Accident
Another devastating poltical satire from Jafar Panahi - he constructs his films with such a light touch that they do most of their work while we digest them. Still thinking about this over a week later

#LIFF2025 Film 10: Alpha
Julie Ducorneau’s third film is a similarly visceral assault on the senses as her first two, though her satirical lens on society is less focussed. Nevertheless, it is compelling and moving and in need of another watch very soon.

Have you seen Slade In Flames?
@twatterer.bsky.social what do you call a Spanish man in your toilet?

#LIFF2025 Film 8: Hellcat
Another ingenious no budget genre movie that plays well against restraints, this time a single location horror flick in which a woman wakes up in a moving camping trailer and a nasty wound on her arm.

#LIFF2025 Film 7: Redux Redux
Intriguing no-budget multiverse revenge thriller about a grieving mother trying to find a reality in which her daughter doesn’t get murdered by a serial killer.

Getting my teeth fixed at this place. Not quite as brutal inside tbf.
