Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

There are only three Cadbury bars in the above. There's a whole galaxy of options you've missed...

I would have thought "Roman Garibaldi architecture" would be more appropriate!

The pre-titles sequence is pretty good as well!

Similar to Robbie Cumming, when I want to watch something relaxing, my go to is @cruisingthecut.bsky.social . Found his YouTube channel shortly after the first COVID lockdown started, and watched the lot. Was a true moment of calm amongst the chaos of those days, and still is.

Which TV presenter do you turn to in times of upheaval and unease. I've seen people mention Robbie Cumming (Canal Boat Diaries) and Bruce Parry (Tribe etc) but who else, and which women? Who is the TV presenter equivalent of an epsom salts bath or 5mg of diazepam?

So many iconic film posters. His Back to the Future art work stands out to me. Sad day.

Fuck. A generational loss.

After inviting Morn along on a mission, it took a while for those involved to get over their encounter with the Orb of Nudity.

Paul Giamatti is one of my favourite actors (Sideways!)

I doubt they've bought him on board just to be a cliché villain!

(although, Spider-man, where they did...)

CRASH!

On this day 11:49am, 11th October 1982, the world watched in horror as the lifting frame dramatically fell into place, having been caught on a misaligned strop. No real damage was done, other than to our nerves!
