Peddler of pop culture related twaddle.
Used to blog a lot. Mostly about British comics. Not so much any more.
The year is 2099. World economies have crashed and burned. Nuclear war has rendered many territories uninhabitable. Vast tracts of lawless wasteland dominate the landscape.
Nottingham Forest expect to conclude their deal with Douglas Luiz any day now, with negotiations looking positive.

What is going on with the #NFFC social team?
I mean it’s likely to be a signing or a kit unveiling. But these two short looped videos (5 & 3 seconds respectively) have a certain David Lynch like quality to them.

Mostly ‘Let’s go Loons!’. The Minnesota state bird (and symbol on Minnesota Utd’s crest) is a loon.

Is it just me, or is anybody else getting powerful Greg Davies vibes, here?

Picked up a truly terrible Side Quest in my local branch of The Range.

Happy #WorldTheatreDay , folks.
Theatre is a medium which is bespoke. Live performance in front of a live audience. A synergy between both points, the one driving the energy of the other.
It’s also one of the longest surviving forms of art we have. It’s irreplaceable and deserves your support.

A quick search with an online tool would suggest likely so.

Unquestionably this. Mr Noseybonk, the porcelain faced, dead-eyed monstrosity from the 1980s BBC children TV show Jigsaw. Absolute nightmare fuel. A grin which oozes malevolence and a nose which could be used as an improvised weapon.

Well… it’s an eclectic combo for a collaboration, certainly. But what the hell is going on here? Has the ‘coco’ in Coco Pops been a shorthand for cocaine all this time, and I never knew?
Nobody is this excited about either cereal or novelty undercrackers without being on *something*.

Ah, Boxing Day in Great Britain. I hope you’ve all got your gloves at the ready for being challenged to a bout by random passers by.
But remember folks, tradition dictates that Boxing on Boxing Day must use full Marquess of Queensberry Rules. No exceptions.

Today I have been going through belongings at my parents’ place, which I sort of left there when I moved out in the early 2000s. Found a bunch of old GW miniatures I painted up when I was in my teens.
If I recall correctly, this guy’s name was Fungus The Loon (their naming, not mine).

19 year old me was also worryingly enthused about the power of the Breville. Student Mark made many a mistake with one of these bad boys!

Today is Boxing Day in Britain. The annual day where, across the land, festivity permits the challenging of random passers by to a boxing match.
Full Marquess of Queensberry Rules must be used. But with the change of monarch? They are now Marquess of KINGSberry Rules.
All true. Ask anyone!

Christmas Day evening we were served this dessert based oddity at my parents’ place.
Christmas is often the place for the most boujee, needlessly ostentatious food. But this is pine cone. Made entirely out of chocolate mouse.

Forest have rarely been very imaginative with their away shirts. It’s usually just swapping Red with White for White with Red.
There was this more creative one from the mod 1990s. But a rarity.

The new away kit? Curious.
I had genuinely never asked myself the question ‘What would an Argentina kit look like if I happened to have a serious astigmatism in my eyes?’
But Adidas and Forest have provided me with that answer!
