Not often I do an actual audible gasp of amazement, but I saw this in an antique shop in Lewes just now. Sadly (for me) the owner knew it was an original, & how much it was worth. If I hadn't literally just dropped a small fortune on my wedding suit... Anyway, if you've £400 going spare...

How does Batman's mum call him for dinner?
She doesn't because she was brutally murdered in front of her son.

OTD, the first day of filming on #StarTrek, ever: Cameras start rolling on "The Cage" as they shoot the scene where Dr. Boyce makes martinis for himself and Captain Pike in Pike's quarters. "Sometimes a man'll tell his bartender things he'll never tell his doctor."

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

My philosophy has always been this:
If you try to convince me something is shit, you’re wrong & will fail.
If you try to convince me something is great, you’re right & winning at life.
If we all agreed on everything life would be dull; it’s how we go about our differences that’s important.

Just got back from the doctor's. The bad news is that tests have revealed I have Onomatopoeia.
Naturally concerned, I asked, 'What's that?'
'I'm afraid,' he replied, looking up from his notes with a serious expression. 'It's exactly what it sounds like.'

I have to be honest, I do think that if you’re bothering to go out and see Michael Palin introducing a showing of Life of Brian, you should probably turn your phone off.

I love Star Cops and I loved The Merfolk Murders - Tim's classic crime style Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan audio drama. So this could be right up my street.
MURDER ON MARS! All episodes just dropped on BBC Sounds.
Or, you can tune in today at 14:15 on BBC Radio 4.
I’d love it if you gave it a listen!
