Participant in @AthleticoMince.bsky.social @TFTimeMachine.bsky.social and @unseriousdarts.bsky.social. My life is well within its usual frame.

The main thing I found from doing a small amount of work in the tabloid media over a decade ago was a strong cult-like vibe, with zero thought for consequences and seemingly good people happy to associate with others who appeared on the surface to be complete cunts.

The 1972 Mastermind final is on BBC4 at 9.15pm and I'll bet it's a colossal headfuck. None of this 'and your specialist subject is the singles discography of the rock group Queen' shite.

...a few years ago we did some Zippy content and were contacted by Tom Hayes, regular listener of the pod and son of Geoffrey. He informed us that Zippy and George were happily living out their retirement with Tom's mum following the passing of his dad in 2018... 2/3

Just about to watch The Elephant Man for the first time in ages. Can't believe we saw John Merrick as a fun figure in the cartoon version they used to show on Children's BBC in the early 80s
