Lovely

RIP Nicky Katt - an incredible actor who always elevated everything he was in. DAZED & CONFUSED, THE WAY OF THE GUN, THE LIMEY, BOILER ROOM, INSOMNIA, SIN CITY, PHANTOMS, THE DOOM GENERATION, and so much more. It’s an amazing and accomplished filmography that will live on forever. So it goes.

Still no re-release of The Cassette of the Album by Roland Rat on pink vinyl for Record Store Day, I see.

One of the greatest programmes we’ve ever produced.

Achievement unlocked:

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

Jasmine Crockett on 🔥🔥🔥"All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession."

Last night’s dream: Peter Bowles as a disgruntled restaurant manager.

It is with profound sadness that we relay news of the passing of our beloved friend and bandmate Clem Burke following a private battle with cancer. (1/7)

Oh boy are those words gonna come back to haunt him…

#OnThisDay 1985 : 40 years ago today, the first edition of Max Headroom was broadcast on Channel 4. #80s (TV listing courtesy of @woodg31.bsky.social)

Completely forgot about this picture but someone just randomly asked about it. I don’t know what I was on about but it made sense at the time.

FOUND ONE!

Sadly evergreen.

Don Estelle. Or if you can't afford that, Ed Stewart's is a belter. Rodney Bewes is fuck dire. Bill Oddie. Just don't. Even ironically. It'll suck you into a black hole of bitterness and you'll have to dispose of it at sea, and when you return home it will be on your shelf sopping wet

“If a reliable office job is a smooth-running SUV, then freelancing is a honking, spluttering clown car careening down the street with its bumper hanging off.” My new article is on the mayhem & magic of freelancing - especially after a massive life event. jousmar.substack.com/p/the-agony-...

And I thought my two kids watching me pick up after them was bad:

instead of watching a minecraft movie you can watch my cat linus brave the nether instead

A Minecraft Movie: nowhere near as bad as some reviews say. No classic, but it is daft fun.

Mike Oldfield leads a rousing version of the Bucket Of Water song on TISWAS. This is what we want!

Well, yeah, you’re Cary Grant.

Loving these beautiful sunny days 💫⭐️

My old US agent put me up to meet on this. "You do NOT need to have played the game" he told me. Got on the call and the first question was "what's your favourite thing about playing Minecraft?" Which tbf is not an unreasonable thing to ask. Meeting lasted 5 minutes. Outrageously I was not hired

Put up by Katy Brand today - this is the story over and over again

This is not a parody article, Nintendo take 30% of this mans income even after he was in prison for hacking charges, until he's paid the debt or dies. Said debt would take him 1000+ years to pay off at his current income as it's in the tens of millions.

The career of Su Pollard (and I love Hi De Hi, right) has led me to seek out this listing from the Independent, 15 Nov 1989, which has stayed in my head ever since the day I read it. I never saw the programme. I can only imagine.

Trigger warning.
