It's not SECKATRY. Just stop it.
So sorry, Andy. Have just been through exactly the same this year.(Do message if you want practical advice on anything as I'm right in the middle of it all at the moment.)
I've never heard of a record washing machine! Does it have a choice of 33 1/3 or 45 rpm spin cycle?
Anyone know what's happening with 'Mastermind'? It's been over a month now since we got any new 'regular' ones and we're still in the middle of the heats. According to BBC schedules today it's a repeat of the first celeb one from a few weeks ago. What on earth is the point of that? #BBCmastermind
It's just the same 😆😆
Indeed! And 'Living In The Plastic Age' was a question on Ken Bruce's Popmaster today. The contestant, who was generally strong, did not identify it. I've always enjoyed the little quirk that, although 'Video Killed The Radio Star' sounds & feels 80s, it was in and out of the charts in Autumn 1979.
I always find this use of 'takeaways' in the media nowadays to be mildly amusing. I am picturing someone at the Oscars getting a chicken bhuna with pilau rice rather than the lamb jalfrezi they ordered.
'Two Huddersfields, in a small place like this?'
'It may be approached, Sir, by many different routes.'
Is the house in Justin's 'System Shock' based on this?
I remember not minding it at the time, but wishing they'd chosen a still which was more indicative of the story... I believe 'Terminus' and 'Time-Flight' are the only ones never to have had artwork covers in any edition.
Often a 'why is that high profile actor playing such a small part?' moment in detective shows 😁
I think Stuart Heritage's head will explode when someone mentions to him that, between 2018 and 2022, the part of a several-hundred-year-old character was played by a woman in her late thirties 😆😆😆

This is sometimes the problem with 'Beyond Paradise' too... there are often only 3 or 4 guest cast members so you know it's got to be one of them 😆 and you can usually guess who it's too obvious to be.
When making future appointments, e.g. my next dental check-up in 6 months, after 'Yes, that's fine', I have taken to adding, 'Assuming we haven't all been blown to Kingdom Come by then', or 'assuming we're all still here' or something equally fatalistic. It's a horrible habit I should get out of...
'The Adventures of Chris Fable'. Ghastly, awful, slow, tedious, painful, amateurish, like the very worst student film ever.
'They're not bloody getting past me, boyo! Stand firm!'
I still have some of the little Dalek figures -- gold with blue domes, silver with red domes -- although the game itself and the human figures disintegrated long ago.
“I bring you fun”
“I bring you sunshine”
“I bring you love”
The Three Morecambe and Wise Men.
We'll all have to start talking to each other again 😆
My most re-Skied post this year has been a mildly funny joke about Taylor Swift's different incarnations teaming up, and I still have no clue why this took off when other more relevant and interesting things got literally zero traction.
It's incredibly frustrating and there doesn't seem to be an answer. A massive silence is so much worse even than a bad response.
Virgin switching landline to fibre network just gives me one extra thing to think about. Our barely used landline is 2 floors down from the hub & we've got a bedroom extension too. Stop changing things for the sake of it. It's nearly Christmas, my mum is in hospital and I don't have the headspace.
One thing's for sure. We know it'll have great ratings.
Classic FM's 'a celebrity may give you a call at 5pm tomorrow' manages to sound slightly threatening somehow. Classic FM listeners will be at work or at home tomorrow hovering by their phones in terrified anticipation of a call from Rylan, Alan Carr or someone out of EastEnders.
Also co-hosted an 80s radio show where we tried to interview him, all pre-arranged, and he'd clearly forgotten about it, so did it on the train, and gave monosyllabic answers. That wasn't terribly good.
I liked the 80s one best. The 90s one was a bit 'hey look at all the people I hob-nobbed with, and ooh didn't they all take a lot of drugs, ooh'. I did a book event with AC once as his 'support', 20 years ago when my 80s music book was out! He was very affable.
