- Blaming the printer is the "cheque is in the post" of this mailout breaks the rules excuses. Had it from David Blunkett over 15 years ago and it smelt fishy then.
- Are any of you Patrons at Hampstead Theatre and would be willing to facilitate getting me a ticket to Copenhagen?
- P.S. Everyone who is here praising The Muppet Show, should watch Muppets Haunted Mansion if you haven't yet. It has some great nods to the classic series.
- The Muppet Show is a beacon of lovely in the darkness. I really hope we get a full series.
- Everyone, you might want to check in with your local goths, emos, and romantics. The Wuthering Heights press tour might be causing them to have even more elevated than usual levels of angst.
- Look, an internet comments war over Helen in the Odyssey seems on point, but unless the naysayers can point to an actress who has actually launch'd a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Ilium they seem like they are just being racist jizzrags.
- How dare anyone in Gorton and Denton suggest they might want to vote for anyone but The Party. Don't they know they should be grateful for being force-fed regurgitated Reform policies like a Blue-footed booby chick and not go searching for another option that might actually be better.
- My big surprise at seeing the screenshots people posted from cinema booking websites about that "documentary" was how many UK screens it was on. I wonder if it showing it was linked to being able to show other titles by the distributor?
- Engineering works on the railways 02/02 — 06/02 disrupting: All CrossCountry routes via Sheffield All Northern routes via Sheffield TransPennine Express between Liverpool Lime Street and Cleethorpes
- The nightmare happened today. Took my thread ripper to a new suit and one of the pockets was not a real pocket. Will have to take my basic sewing skills to it.
- Saw a post recently that said in the “jail for mother for One Thousand Years” post the vast majority knew what creature Miette was instinctively. For "I just want to buy a fucking ticket you money grabbing c*nts" there might be slightly more doubt who I am talking about but I'll give you 2 guesses
- Ice Cold Sausage in Alex.
- Still thinking about seeing Monstrous Regiment? Our best availability is on Wednesday, Thursday and the Saturday matinee performances. Get them now before the river Kneck changes course again. #discworld #terrypratchett #theatre #sheffield #monstrousregiment
- Small piece of nice news. The pram man is to get a star outside Sheffield town hall.
- Reposted by Tony KennickFellow writers: I am deeply saddened to share that if we want the rewards of having written, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of writing
- The pain of both being a British politics nerd and a long time pop-culture geek is trying to work out if I can cross the streams of the "defected to Reform" and "Will return in doomsday" memes
- Reposted by Tony KennickLots of guys with backwards ball caps and truck nutz never gonna listen to Philip Glass again
- Is it me, or has Suella Braverman defected from a party that might have deported her some day to one that would happily deport her today?
- Brits: We wish that this Labour government would uphold more of their core values. _a finger on the monkey's paw curls_ Labour: Breaks out in internecine warfare between factions
- 2026's fresh new internet photo game: Aurora or Football Ground?
- It is a real shame that instead of going to meet people at the world economic forum, they didn't send him to meet Davros instead.
- Does Greenland have a lot of dairy cows or something? Or just a lot of places to bury files.
- Finding it difficult to tell the difference between my virus addled nightmares and the "real world" with trumps ever more desperate distractions from the epstein files and leg warmers making a comeback.
- So the interesting thing is that a lot of people have said that FIFA won't do this because they have no morals. On the flip side, where are FIFA taking payments? The trump regime sanctioning card payments from a large number of countries might hit the football authorities in the bank balance.
- There is nothing I like better than being underestimated by some douch-bag because they don't believe I have 30 years of technical knowledge 😘
- Would like to apply for a replacement/upgrade body. This one is far too broken.

- Given I never wear ties, I am thinking about getting more collarless shirts to wear with suits. What do people think? Worry that I am not as cool as 12 (although unlike him I won't be doing up the top button)
- I haven't seen any Starfleet Academy yet, but having seen some promo stuff I am looking forward to finding out if Holly Hunter's character is Bi, Neurodivergent, or both.
- No, I actually much prefer hunger traps.

- Finding it very difficult not to be cynical about the “Northern Powerhouse” rail announcement. Especially given the timescales.
- For those asking if the iron cross/Teutonic Order logo is real. Last time there was doubt because of the way it leaked, but not this time: www.electoralcommission.org.uk/political-re... (09 January 2026)

- I wonder who owns Dilbert now and if they'll do anything interesting with it?
- Wondering whether to post about UKIP's new cross pattée logo, or if they aren't relevant enough to cover any more. (It is faintly plausible that the latter is why they have decided to go for outrage)

- Now, Nadhim Zahawi going from one rabidly anti-europe party to another and then calling for a "Glorious Revolution" that is hilarious political satire. Isn't it? Doesn't really matter, given his previous he'll be caller for the leader to resign tomorrow.
- Did they tell us One Battle After Another was a comedy in advance or was one of those suggestions where a man comes out with something terrible and then afterwards says it was justa joke?
- One of the big surprises about how well One Battle After Another did at the Golden Globes is the category it was in. I can't for the life of me remember any of the songs.
- Since football is unlikely to get onboard with "respect the kicker" I will continue my one man online campaign for switching to a stop/start clock although to be honest there is zero hope of that either. But 4th officials rolling dice to decide the amount of stoppage time really isn't it.
- Reposted by Tony KennickThe message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
- Reposted by Tony Kennick"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."
- While searching online for information about Fenwick's I saw someone had spelled it as if the 144yo institute bowls goats. IYKYK.

- Doncaster has the new pretty but annoying railway clock.
- Slightly odd, but mostly pleasant experience. (Would have been entirely pleasant except the cage the wedges came in and the hike to the bogs)
- In the gods.
- Reposted by Tony Kennickonce again we are all tapping the sign
- Reposted by Tony KennickHe didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
- Reposted by Tony Kennickreally feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful
- Reposted by Tony KennickIn America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

- Reposted by Tony KennickLook, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.
- Please don't forget the outstanding Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw when being outraged about Sinners losses in awards season
- So no constraint whatsoever then. Also it isn't really his morality that is at issue is it as we know he is very persuadable.
- Glad to know that the shit right wing papers doing their best to run the country are happy for hundreds to die and thousands to be injured by drunk drivers every year.
