Love a good story - ghostlier the better, bibliophile, dabbler, nature lover & all-round tea & biscuit champion 1998.
Am so sad & furious. 25 years ago my neighbour planted a beautiful silver birch in their garden. It was a lovely tree. Our new neighbours have, this morning, cut it down. I know it's their garden but I am so upset about this.

"Madagascar was shut..."

Still in progress (& probably will be forever 🙄) I will never think it's good.

Being trolled by Google...

If you search for 'Mr Jelly - Psychoville', the search brings up Mr Jolly instead...

Clever, Google, clever 😉

Watching Psychoville and Prime's subtitles aren't coping with Mr Jelly's dulcet Yorkshire tones. Instead of "Rabbit out of a hat" it reads "Rub it out of a hut" which I'm pretty sure means something else entirely...

Honestly Amazon, sort yerself out!
