One thing, though. Zack Polanski's new hair do makes him look like he's wearing Andrew Neil as a hat.

New video time. Dennis Taylor fulfills his comic ambitions, lonely hearts seek love in a baffling Anne and Nick spin-off, and one of Britain's most iconic beauties waffles on and on, in another VHS:WTF Unlucky Dip.

Okay. So. Amazing scenes playing out at the vets when i arrived to pick up Napoleon.

Names changed/removed. But get ready for a lost kitty story with a happy ending.

It starts late last year, when the elderly neighbour of a young couple went into a care home /1

And why do people keep insisting on putting a bath at the end of the bed?

Doing the Linux thing. All the games I play on Steam will still work thanks to Proton, and I've backed everything up. It's not like I can upgrade to Win 11, so I may as well make the jump now.

I have had a deep-seated dislike of custard since childhood. It makes me heave.

Terry Pratchett books will make you feel better through anything, for the duration of your life. Every reread brings a joke or pun or reference you didn't get before. Decades of joy, hilarity and genius.
