Oh, I'm so sorry.

Thank you for generously sharing some of Queenie's wonderful life with us internet strangers. Dook on, little lady 💜🖤

Let us all give thanks for the ability to record ferrets in slow motion!

Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys across the pond! 😊

Well deserved congratulations, Simon!

Funnily enough, I was listening to a recent Chart Music, and you hinted about the issue of translating a book that has an "A-Z" format. Did it require additional input on your behalf, or was it just a case of translating (and re-sorting) all entries?

Loving those Everton panels. "MNF!" 😂

Oh, I love this!

I may even adopt "Naught can assail me" as my bulwark mantra.

Isn't it? The thing that delighted me most was seeing a youngish Dennis Norden.

After decades of watching It'll Be Alright On The Nights, this was the comedy equivalent of discovering a baby pigeon.

A whimsical squint through the waybackwhendoscope at a blissfully innocent childhood...

...but also the traumatising denouement of a short film shown only to dumbstruck pupils of inner London primary schools as they silently micturated, aghast and forever changed.

It could go either way.

Many happy returns!

Yes, quite the estimable and dashing sir, what? 🧐

The high society jills will surely be 'twixt blush and swoon at a mere glance of this festive daguerreotype 🥵

Hello, Queenie!
November 18, 2025 at 2:47 PM
Oh wow!

Though now all I can think of is a little Irish girl in dungarees saying "fillum", much to my young parochial amusement.

All of 'em, obviously 😊

Besides, you know full well that future generations will edit you to be an animated talking toilet bowl.

It's like they've never even studied human psychology.

I can only apologise for the Kayhole I have inadvertently dragged you towards, like an eddy swirling beneath dark and lonely water oh gawd I'm doing it again

Leave the boy alone 😂

Incidentally, what a mad idea for a refreshing soft drink to these marketing-assaulted 21st-century eyes.

Though I love the through-line to medieval salves and tinctures. I'm sure there must have been a "Mandrake and Mugwort" flavour beverage at some point in british history.

Or "Dandelion & Burdock", as it was more commonly known.

The painless voids of today aren't a patch on the painless voids of the seventies.

And of course, there were also "Howling abyss" flavour Spangles. Great days.
