Hello. Come in. Cup of tea? Sorry about the blood on the handle. I draw, I paint, I am autistic, I drink Yorkshire Tea. Is that everything? I think that's everything.

Well, it's Ghostbusters. *but* (and, yes, I know it's not a film) I love that she was, for one episode only, the voice of the Planet Express Ship in Futurama.
Name your fav Sigourney Weaver film.

I used to know someone at work whose sneezes were SO loud, so outside our understanding of noise, that he was pretty much just full-blooded screaming. It was too apocalyptic to follow with "bless you", the only reasonable response was "we need to check for survivors".
Saying "bless you" after someone sneezes is completely unnecessary. It's basically just acknowledging you heard it, and no one wants that. We should just stop doing it.

It's still a work in progress, but seems stable enough for "public beta", so by popular demand here's a standalone version of the parametric clock generator I recently added to my online teletext viewer:

He's only "Wile E. Coyote" in those few cartoons with Bugs Bunny. In the Road Runner series he's just "Coyote". And he also switches species and nose colour to be "Ralph Wolf" in a third series.
It's a classic case of one actor forever identified with just one role.

Why isn't there a presenter? Was Simon Bates trapped under an avalanche? Janice Long unable to leave the table at her family Christmas Dinner?

Always thought this Paul Young song sounded Christmassy as fuck, even if it's not actually.

So what's the best thing you got on the day this #TOTP was broadcast? Mine was this:

Yet another song where I remember me and my brother finding it hilarious, in this instance imagining turning up to see the doctor while on fire.

Very clear memory of (aged 5) thinking Boy George was singing "War, war Snoopy, viva Snoopy"

Bloody love this Nik Kershaw song. When I was a teenager in the 90s it seemed to be one of only five songs our local radio station had access to.

Anyone of a similar age to Farage will know that antisemitic remarks played no part in 1970s banter.
Nazis were universally hated. Farages abusive behaviour would have made a strong impression. I have no doubt that Farage’s classmates remember him perfectly.

I think you only need to hear about ten or fifteen seconds of this to get that it's absolutely gorgeous.
Never heard it before, till it was on Radio 3's Night Tracks the other week.

I don't have Spotify, but if I did there are two songs it would tell me I've listened to a LOT this year. One is this, which 6 Music kept playing every morning for a while and has stuck with me since:
