I first got to know Derek Deadman as Ringo in Never The Twain. One of those actors who pops up in everything, though.

Is it just me who thinks that the scanner guy looks like James Acaster?

It tends to worry me rather than anger me, so I avoid the news myself as much as possible.

The 2nd cycle Ring-billed Gull was still at the Cork Lough today. Still favours the northern end, even if the gulls were disturbed regularly today.

The Blake's 7 reboot will probably be similar, no matter what it's like it will annoy somebody.

It was an annoying toaster in Red Dwarf that constantly spoke only about toast or crumpets or whatever. But at least it could then make those.

I wonder if the Firecrest may have been present all winter, seemed a good winter for them by modest Irish standards.

The 2nd cycle Ring-billed Gull was still present at the Cork Lough today, showing extremely well at times. It remains to be seen if it will stay much longer, now that spring is upon us.

Quick check of the Cork Lough after work today. No sign of the recently reported Glaucous Gull, or the long-staying Ring-billed, but this 1st cycle Mediterranean Gull showed quite well for a while before disappearing.
