I thought this was fun from the satirical news reporter character Jonathan Pie.

It’s a summation for The New York Times. It’s kinda how I feel.

For all those not in the UK who are interested – and even for some who are in the UK but want to avoid traditional media, I can suggest two channels on YouTube.

A Different Bias will be covering the exit polls at 10pm UK time. He’s very good.

Just for all the Brits. I stuck this up in my window at the weekend. It’s quite a busy road. Hundreds of people and cars pass by every day.

Might make a difference. Don’t be apathetic. Every vote counts.

And the best tactical voting site I have found is https://stopthetories.vote/

Just put your postcode in.

Don’t you think they look tired?

I just binged watched season 3 of “The Bear” this weekend. And it was amazing.

And this might sound weird, but hear me out. My cousin watched Season 1, episode 1 and then gave up. Too much shouting and anger by dysfunctional people was kinda her take.

But season 3 episode 6 is a flashback episode for one of the characters,…[Read more]

Following on from my last post, I just imagined a scene where the Doctor tricks Sutekh into bringing Kate back to life. So we all learn Sutekh can bring death to death.

Kate then sees all her colleagues as dust.

And then, knowing what he is about to do for the whole universe, the Doctor has to apologise to Kate and say to Sutekh “Kill her…[Read more]

I was thinking about stories this morning. As some of you know I used to work in the film industry and did script analysis. Before that, film (especially scriptwriting) was my MA.

The simplest explanation I ever read for plotting a film, and the one that stuck with me the most, was this:

After a long day, and then a long evening feeding people, I’m now commenting after 1am.

My initial thoughts are just that, that was okay, I suppose. It had some nice emotional beats to pluck at the heartstrings. But it didn’t make much sense to me.

Loved the first 10 minutes. I wondered where they were gonna go from there. But the resolution…[Read more]

As this is a bit of fun. I was watching Tom Baker and I realised I’ve kinda copied his style. I just need a scarf.

I volunteer feeding the homeless and those in food poverty every Friday and Sunday night. The organisation is called Streets Kitchen. We do about 100 hot meals a night. Plus sandwiches, pastries, bread and hot drinks.

I did their…[Read more]

Cheers @blenkinsopthebrave Enjoy.

Just a note on the music played at the dances, be that versions of Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy, or of the Doctor Who theme itself.

I did watch the first season of Bridgerton. It wasn’t really my thing but I watched it while up in Scotland with my Mum and quite enjoyed it. One of the selling points was that all the music played at the dances were…[Read more]

Well, that’s gonna annoy a large proportion of the interwebs. I can’t wait to see the fallout.

I thought you might like this. I follow Prof Tim Wilson on YouTube. He mostly talks about politics. But here he breaks down the latest episode. (with a little bit of politics)
