My aunt's story is that she was fed up that she had to work on a beautiful summer's day, while my uncle had the day off to watch Kent play Essex at cricket. She served some familiar looking bloke and said "I expect you're off to cricket as well." Yes, Graham Gooch was off to the cricket.

The army sponsoring the England U21 coverage is weird. Footage of soldiers with some football commentary. You wonder what drafts were turned down. Footage: massed artillery fire. Commentary: peppering them from outside the box.

I'm not going to do a full fan casting for the James Cameron adaptation of The Devils. But I am going to point out that you could have enormous fun casting Sean Bean as Jackob of Thorn.

I was frustrated at missing Broadside tomorrow. But, actually, this is too bloody hot for hundreds of sweaty blokes to gather in a hall. Spring or Autumn are Prime convention times, not bloody summer.

"What distress signal? Your circuits are well and truly fried this time, come back here at once!" One year ago today I posted this miniature Star Wars/Alien mashup. All shot practically using real figures, lighting, smoke and miniatures

In Star Trek Voyager, did they ever acknowledge that having a spaceship that shares a name with the V'Ger device which subsequently gets lost in deep space is a bit weird?

Today in GIFS you can hear.

I love Strange New Worlds, it's a great example of someone learning the lessons of what was criticised before. But, let's be realistic, Paramount are only going to have one show about the crew of the Enterprise running at time, a farewell to SNW does open the door for Legacy.

Yup, I'm a halfwit.

Wow, he is going to get the absolute shit kicked out of him at the next NATO summit.

Welp, I've bid on the ultimate mid 90s WEG Star Wars bundle. I predict that I'm outbid by Friday.

Oops. The 28mm medieval weapons that I ordered from etsy are actually Space Marine parts.

New stupid Star Wars idea, The Grand Budapest Hotel, but, Ralph Fiennes is a Jedi.

My favorite photo of Brian Wilson

No way

There's a school of thought that seals the Beatles into some of hermetic bubble in the 60s music scene, unbothered by all other artists. This is bollocks, responding to other great artists made them better. None more so than Brian Wilson. youtu.be/M0lj3WX_5ps?...

I'm amused by how many "hobby innovations" turn out to be nail salon stuff that's been repurposed.

I'm not 100% convinced by these "nanoglass" files.

I suspect that the hottest thing on American television this fall is going to be "the Shield, but, they're ICE agents." And the big storyline is going to be that the arsehole main character is secretly an illegal immigrant himself.

Dear Mrs. Smith, Little Johnny was making inappropriate moaning noises in class this morning. Please speak to him about his behavior. Thanks, Mrs. Posts ---- Mrs. P, Please describe the "inappropriate" moaning noise. Jane

Outstanding

I have dozens of #DoctorWho art prints for sale! Take a look if that's your thing! (All reposts very appreciated!) 🙂 www.ebay.co.uk/usr/scotgra-57

My family and I were watching TV and there was an anal sex scene. My Mum casually said they make it look surprisingly easy on TV, it really isn't that easy. I have been receiving therapy for this ever since.

Oh, wait, is this a Days Of Future Past tribute?

"Pigs! Why did it have to be pigs?"

Buzz kill

Just watched a YouTube video ranking each episode of Peter Capaldi's Doctor. And wow, there's so little there that formed any sort of lasting impression. It's like Colin Baker, everyone loves the idea of a darker Doctor, but nobody can achieve the right tone.
