Just found a loom band under the sofa. Both my kids are now at University. I was actually looking for the missile from my UFO Interceptor.

Would love to think that Tom Bakers cameo appearance as 'Ships Captain' in 'Frankenstein - The True Story' is a direct descendant of his character Captain Redbeard Rum in 'Blackadder 2'

Glad to report that after 25 years of marriage, trust in each other is as strong as it ever was. Wife looking for the remote.

Me "No"
Carolyn "Stand up"

Remember tonight at midnight, Big Ben will strike 12, but please wait at least 5 minutes before celebrating until VAR has officially confirmed it is 2026.

3 days into our cruise. Boat ok, it's an old ocean liner but clearly seen better days. Made some lovely friends onboard particularly a Mrs Rosen who tells us she used to be a competitive swimmer and if we all end up in the water to 'follow her!'. Big New Years Eve party tonight..

Squared up with Colin Dexter (creator of Morse) in the reduced section of M&S in Summertown,Oxford. Both eyeing up the last Lasagne. He glanced at me, I glanced at him. We both glanced at the prize. I pounced, I won.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
