IF YOU SEE A FADED SIGN BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
THAT SAYS

'Table B-52, @2000ad.bsky.social Hall'

Then you've found my spot @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social!

YOU'LL COME AND SEE ME THERE, RIGHT?

Plane has been delayed by over an hour, which is on the app, but not very clear on the boards here (where the only clue is they still haven't given the flight a gate after it should have gone, other flights are marked as delayed, is this a trap for me?), so pity anyone without a smartphone.

Whilst the feral drinkers are knocking back cheap larger in Spooons, I'm having a glass of prosecco and smoked salmon like a proper sophisticate like wot I is.

No, wait, the feral drinkers might have this one right.

So do all these frog costumes being worn in Portland mean that We All Stand Together is now a more relevant peace anthem than Imagine?

Wanted one last trip on this passport and NI is the one part of the UK I've not been to, so just coming on a quick mooch.

Would have tried doing it as s day trip, but the trains wouldn't work with getting me to the airport early enough for that, so I'm there from this afternoon to tomorrow night.

OK, annoyingly the double flight only came up after I'd gone through security and I can't find a manned help desk on this side, but every online thing I've checked (Easyjet app, the airport website, the airport "virtual helper") has one 12.10 flight only and it's going, so I'm keeping the faith.

Stuart Webb @inflatabledalek.bsky.social · 3h

Nothing less likely to make me panic than my flight being on the departure board twice, once cancelled...

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Happy birthday to the US Navy.

And in particular to the captain of the USS Missouri.

Who, when Cher walked out on deck in this, not in the jump suit they'd been promised, went:

"Ah. Fuck it. YOLO."

And later almost got stripped of command for it.

This account naturally tends to focus on Sir Roger Moore's awesome 007 tenure, but - on what would have been his 98th birthday - let's remember that in his later years he used his global profile to great effect as a UNICEF ambassador.

A true hero, much missed.

Remember a couple of years ago when Rob Zombie made a Munsters movie with Sylvester McCoy in it?

Though how you can see that they maybe don't get it is this one is about Herman being a terrible chef, and he is. A proper Munsters gag would be his family think his food is terrible because his cooking is entirely normal.

#Halloweenathon Day 14!

A half hour sitcom because I'm off to the airport. Obviously the original Munsters is much better, but I've got a lot of childhood fondness for the time they went to sleep a long time ago and woke up with a brand new show.

These three rotten sods are still available in my Hallowe'en themed Transformers portraits online sale. I LOVED drawing that Sparkeater!

€40 each before shipping, and dispatched nice and quick in time for the 31st!

It turns out even in a couple with a good public transport infrastructure like South Korea, trains can be deer.

Bit of Ultra Q!

And it's a Land of the Giants one. Very well done props, but weirdly it turns out to be a dream sequence, someone said "Hey, Kanegon, he could happen. But this is ridiculous."
