I have to admit that eBay’s online ads get me every time. They show my some weird looking thing with no context whatsoever and I HAVE to click through to find out what it is. I was really hoping this was some modern remake of Astro Wars.

It’s 33 years since the final episode of Absolutely was shown on Channel 4
The only time I miss Twitter is when I am having issues with couriers. One angry tweet while tagging them and things used to be fixed fairly quickly. In unrelated news, DPD are still more unpleasant to deal with than a case of dysentery.
In Scotland we have a saying, "Whit's fur ye'll no go by ye"

I could maybe scrape together the rent for a bigger universe, but the council tax will be crippling.

In a mock ionic a children’s book cover, an anthropomorphic snooker cue ball stands in front of a plane, with luggage in hand. The title is John Virgo’s famous catchphrase, “Where’s the cue ball going?”
RIP John Virgo. Now I’ll never get to collaborate with him on my children’s book idea.
Good news! I only need to sell one kidney. Which is handy, because I used the other one last year.
Aye. I’m hoping to be rid of this car before next year, but if that doesn’t happen then an Autumn MOT might be in the cards.

In 1990, I walked past Ian Krankie as he exited and I entered Woolworths in Falkirk.
I always have a supply of AAA, CR2032 and PP3 batteries to hand. Feel free to pop up to Glasgow any time you need one.

I love the building, but as a Scottish person who has been to Edinburgh, I am having a reaction to that pronunciation of Corstorphine.
He saw the light.
Me: “I always assumed the Teletubbies were babies, but the new shows have Tiddlytubbies, who clearly ARE babies. This makes me confused about the life cycle of a Teletubby and I need to know if the original four are actually sexually mature adults.”
