Welcome. Please keep your expectations low.

Because nobody has an attention span any more, we felt obliged to make a sub-3-minute version of one of our music videos. And in portrait mode, annoyingly. It's still pretty decent. Worth watching 'til the end.

I love the way it looks like Joe Thomas has been labelled and the other three haven't.

The first track on Pearl Jam's album 'Ten' is called 'Once', which must be pretty confusing for Spanish-speakers.

T'Other Simon @tothersimon.bsky.social · 1d

No it doesn't.

Oh absolutely. It's unnerving.

Surely he can only ever become a grandad 'for the first time'.

A headline claiming that Liam Gallagher has become a Grandad 'for the first time'.

Thought this was a cute birthday card, until I noticed the word 'nun' on it, and now it's all I can see.

My friend Jillian went to the Middle East. They served her the finest cuisine in the land.

Jill ate... the best Oman could get.

Oh no, Costa. No no no.

A sign saying 'Smile Your On Camera'. Yeah. 'your' as in Y... O... U.... R...

Jesus.

Sad to think that Cilla Black didn't live long enough to release an album called 'All Cilla, No Filla'.

Agreed. It's dull and unimaginative to take another artist's name and make a crap pun on it.

That said, there used to be a band round here called 'Shirley Temple Pilots' and that always amused me.

I *think* it's quite likely that they did several takes of 'leaping down on the count of three' and they just didn't cut away early enough in the edit. Or he just fancied a little rest. Who knows? Either way, it made me laugh. As did the whole thing, to be honest. Very entertaining indeed.

My favourite bit of #CelebrityTraitors? Probably when they had to dig up their own graves with their hands, and when Claudia finished her countdown the rugby fella (blue dungarees, funny little hat) just leapt straight onto the floor for a little lie down.

Watch him.

Mad, innit?

🤷‍♂️ - That's my reaction to Yungblud's reaction to Justin Hawkins' reaction to his brother's reaction to Yungblud.

A screenshot of some so-called news article on Facebook with the utterly ridiculous headline 'Yungblud reacts to Justin Hawkins' reaction to his brother's reaction to Yungblud'.

To be clear - this isn't really a grumble - it amused me that there was such a discrepancy between how successful it was for other accounts and how much it died on its arse when I posted it.

T'Other Simon @tothersimon.bsky.social · 5d

Aw, cheers. I hadn't noticed that it had done the rounds. Weirdly, I don't really mind. It's just amusing to me. (Particularly weird cos I'm *still* annoyed about Woking 925 and I really should be over that).

T'Other Simon @tothersimon.bsky.social · 5d

Ergh. Not cool.

T'Other Simon @tothersimon.bsky.social · 5d

Heh - same. I should have learnt my lesson from various other times this has happened. But I'm an idiot 😂

(Also - love that picture!)
