I don't like cricket (if that's what it is), but what sort of biscuits do you have

Brand new on Dirty Feed: today is the 50th anniversary of the studio recording of Fawlty Towers, "Gourmet Night".

That episode's famous ending is pictured here. But it wasn't the originally intended finale. Instead, things were going to get rather more peculiar...

TIL that in the US they call flip-flops "thongs". This now explains the confusing conversation I had with an American woman a couple of decades ago

After talking about it the other day so was able to find the Chief Supt Brownlow / American Werewolf in London meme!

A split 2 panel meme. The top panel shows actor Peter Ellis as a police officer in the movie An American Werewolf in London. The caption read: “1981: Fails to stop deadly foreign werewolf attack in central London, despite the werewolf attempting to surrender to him beforehand”

The bottom panel shows actor Peter Ellis as Chief Superintended Charles Brownlow in the TV series The Bill. The caption reads: “ 1984: Promoted to Chief Superintendent at Sun Hill police station. Share if you think this is a disgrace”

There have only ever been 75 yokozuna (grand champions) in sumo history. Two of them are in London today, and it’s fairly likely we’ll get to see them wrestle each other. On iPlayer from 2pm, bouts from about 2:30pm.
