Dave Matthews - quizzing, TV, comedy, food, probably too much politics, LGBT+, hoping this is better than X. Dad jokes are the author's own. He/him.

This reminds me of a lovely bit of trivia - the person who sang the Big Break theme more than anyone else is probably Kenny Everett. The song comes from a Mike Batt musical version of The Hunting of The Snark and although Cpt Sensible did the recording, Everett performed it in the West End.

Hitler in his bunker. The final minute of his life. His aide walks in with a gift-wrapped present. It's a gun. Hitler smiles, sheds one tear and mouths "thank you".

John Lewis.

Music is the Big Break theme covered by Adele.

So when is the by-election for the new Duke of York? Could a woman run? Perhaps we could have a Dukess???

THE CANNED OLD DUKE OF YORK!

BBC headline: "Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after 'discussion with King'"

On Bob's Full House, it was fun to spot Bob as a question writer (along with Just a Minute's Ian Messiter) and Steve Punt as a (joke?) writer.

Today's idle thought...if the Spice Girls had formed today, would Geri be Pumpkin Spice rather than Ginger Spice?

The watchdog added that he wants to be told he's a good boy, go for long walks, and receive regular treats.

A picture of a sad dog on a table being touched by a vet and its owner. Below is the headline "Vets must publish prices so pet owners not over charged, watchdog says" and the subheadline " Vet prices have risen at nearly twice the rate of inflation, the Competition and Markets Authority found."

This feels like the starting point for a Channel 5 documentary about a boy who turned orange from eating too many mini cheddars

To add to his Club World Cup trophy from earlier this year? www.wearethemighty.com/entertainmen...

Yes, President Trump took the Club World Cup Trophy. Here's why.

The 2025 Club World Cup Trophy isn't the first award that was intercepted by someone who wasn't part of the winning championship team.
