Oh, we can't have James Bond star in this one? Here comes Jiddy Bond with his new girlfriend, Jixie, to take on Bucanneer "Blowfish" Blofeld on his pirate hideaway.
In fact, why stop there? Bring back Pierce Brosnan as an aged former James Bond who sits in a rocking chair and talks about FPS games.

Fire Emblem support conversations like "I hate you and I'm looking forward to killing you, you despicable worm" "The feeling's mutual, toerag" and then *ping* you're now official best friends!

I have heard and enjoyed it a large number of times but because I am A Bit Dim it's taken me noticing that Yazz has a badge with a rainbow pattern on it to realise what "Stand Up For Your Love Rights" is, presumably very obviously, getting at #TOTP

"Crush" by Jennifer Paige feels like it _should_ be a 10cc-style "it's not like I like you or anything baka!", but I think she genuinely actually doesn't really like him #TOTP

I had just finished watching "The Anniversary" (thanks to @dirtyfeed.org making me think I ought to watch all of Fawlty Towers at some point) when someone messaged me with the news that Prunella Scales had died, which seemed oddly apt as an episode choice.

It's a week of second-place finishers being touted as the real winners by a sympathetic BBC News, so I expect the day to end with the news that Heather Humphreys has won "the moral Presidency"

If "One Lifetime Of Drums" was the official song of the whole Olympics, why were they only showing American athletes, and if it was the Team USA anthem why did we have to put up with it over here? #TOTP

Can't hear "What Can I Do" without thinking of the Milton Jones joke (to a revolutionary before the firing squad: "Any last requests?" "I think only of the cause!" "Very well...") #TOTP

Sad to announce that I have not had a callback for the position of UNESCO's Director of Social Media.

A very entertaining story. I particularly like the bit where Ball says he's facilitating large-scale tax avoidance to get back at the government for their earlier treatment of him (when they went after him for large-scale tax avoidance)
I think this is the weirdest story I've ever reported. www.londoncentric.media/p/terry-ball...
The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a £20m vendetta against the taxman
Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

I was listening to Crab Radio 4 and they said "coming up next, a sideways look at the news..." and then it was just the news.

Now they've pointed it out I can definitely hear that "No Matter What" was written by the Lloyd-Webber preset function on an old Casio keyboard #TOTP
