Hey @almurray.bsky.social Jim sounds like Ade Edmundsen playing Von Richthofen in Blackadder 4 doing his Jodel impression. Bloody hilarious! #WeHaveWays #Blackadder

10 years separates these 2 photos. #ProudDad

10 years ago my old comrades Ski & Spotty honoured my family by attending our Daughter’s Pass Off Parade at Harrogate. They did us the same honour again today by attending our Son’s Pass Off Parade. Gentlemen, many thanks.

Not a bad evening in Harrogate before Dan’s big day.

Last warry pics from the boy before his pass off parade on Thursday. #ProudDad

Gareth Edwards was interviewed after Wales v France last week, and they asked if his team from the 70’s would have beaten this Wales team. He said yes but only just. The interviewer asked “only just?” He replied “Yes, but to be fair six of us are dead and the rest are in our 70’s” #6N2025 #Rugby

T’was ever thus…

Just thought I’d share this. I received this today, I called Fay on her mobile number as I guessed it was a scam & she was perfectly fine. Not sure what would have happened if I had used that number, nothing good I’m betting. Just be careful out there folks. #ScamAlert

I’ve said it before, but Alldritt isn’t human, if I were the Welsh staff I’d demand a DNA test & a copy of his birth certificate. #6Nations2025 #FRAvWAL

Let’s get this party started! #6Nations2025 #FRAvWAL With the return of some experienced Welsh players & France’s slow start to Tournaments I’m not expecting the thrashing that is predicted for Wales, a heavy loss yes, but not a humiliation.

Worst Rugby news ever. The casual fan who only ever watches the 6N & maybe the Rugby World Cup will now not bother with Rugby. Madness, this could be the death knell for a game already in crisis.

Dog day afternoon. #DogsLife #Greyhound #Kokoni

I think the phrase rhymes with clucking bell. Or as General Melchett said “That’s the spirit! A complete refusal to look facts in the face will see us through every time!”

Civil War on Prime starring Kirsten Dunst, a very good film. I hope it’s not prophetic. Good luck America.

Here's a clip from our first off-topic episode: about Upstart Crow, the excellent Ben Elton sitcom starring David Mitchell as William Shakespeare.

Just over 4 weeks until the 6Nations! Right excited! #6nations #Rugby

Right you lot! Stand by! Happy New Year! That is all... See you in 2025...

Since September 1968 me & Rob have been mates. Nothing changes. Maybe apart from our access to beer.

A very Messy Christmas to you all! #Blackadder

Christmas Dinner veg prep listening to Marillion, happy place! #Marillion

To all of my friends & family near & far, have a cool Yule, a Merry Christmas & a happy new year! x 🎄🍻

Christmas has officially started in the Chapman household. Yippee Kayaks other buckets! #ChristmasMovies #ChristmasFilm

Should be in every newsagents window.

Go give ‘em a listen & a follow! #Blackadder

Give this pod a follow. THE place for all your #Blackadder needs. “Chiswick! Fresh Horses!”

This quote may or may not have been by Twain, I couldn’t find anything de-bunking the Twain thing but it’s irrelevant as the statement stand’s now more than ever as we live in a society completely informed by a press owned or at the very least, heavily influenced by the the mega bucks on the planet.

Sad Truth…

Messy Healing Healing isn’t a straight line, It’s a tangled web of late nights and tired mornings, spilled milk, spilled tears, a child’s laughter breaking the silence, then their cries shattering the fragile peace. Fay A snippet from my collection Words For My Children.
