(A silent era newspaper would print that a person has been charged with rape and murder with a firearm, while modern algorithms demand that a news account say "the suspect was charged with grape and unaliving with a pew-pew." That takes away dignity and agency in discussing serious matters.)

Once and future podcaster from The Sitcom Club. Editor and co-producer (in a minor capacity) of A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs. From Yorkshire, living in California. ''Practically Mexican'' according to my late wife (she liked to exaggerate).
Things you can say in a swingers club as well as in a restaurant review for Kent Online.
Sword of Freedom - The School (8th August 1958). Patrick Troughton (nice moustache) and Kenneth Williams guest-star.
I cannot stop singing a filthy version of Dana's "Something's Cooking In The Kitchen". And it's already pretty bloody horny as is.
My folks have come through to help us do a load of DIY and have brought my old badge collection from when I was a kid. I'm not keeping most of them, but you had best believe I'm keeping this one
I've spent too much of my morning picking apart the lack of realism in an episode of Father Dear Father.
It's almost impressive how by excessive application of pop psychology, you can make something as action packed as Batman one of the dullest characters in fiction.
Callan meets Father Dear Father is canonical.
At his peak of Callan fame TV's song'n'dance'n'burning alive man gets himself The Edward Woodward Hour today in 1971, including a crossover sketch between Callan and Father Dear Father that Woodward would call the most embarrassing moment of his career.
Douglas Fairbanks clears a table as he duels Noah Beery in THE MARK OF ZORRO (1920), his first full-costume swashbuckler. Doug's brother, Robert, acted as a stunt coordinator and propmaster, lowering the table slightly to make the leap look even more impressive.
My dad once gave me one of these to mess with the kids at school.
In case anyone was curious, my White Egg eggplant fruited and, yes, this is where Americans got the name 🌱
God, those films really had gone downhill by the end of the 70s, hadn't they? www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Confessions of a Steroid Gang
The dark side of self-improvement. With testimony from users, gang members and those who caught them, this is how a father and son from North Wales built an illegal steroid empire.

Fucking right? I thought this was a horror movie from the looks of it and was really disappointed (because I love Colman but don't like folk horror) but then it turned out to be about Colman getting it from a wicker husband made by Peter Dinklage and I was immediately: "I'm in."
many people are weirded out by the new WICKER movie starring Alexander Skarsgård and Olivia Colman but I honestly would rather watch a romantasy with a odd-looking main character covered in baskets than pretty much any horror film where people are routinely cut up or murdered
Man, the Confederates had some wacky ideas about the meaning of the Civil War (you might appreciate this, @djinnandtonic.bsky.social)
That shadowy place way out there? That is beyond our borders. You must never go there. That is the Big Boy graveyard.
It's time for me to once again mention the time that Showaddywaddy were chosen by Einstürzende Neubauten to be their support
Best back up dancer in the world revealed at the end. This used to be a proper country.
