Hello! This is (also) not the profile you're looking for. Sorry, I thought that might be funny...

Blue sky needs more content and more official adopters, but it also needs more chat.

#totp January 92. The start of the re-vamp years, when they switched the hosts to kids TV presenters and soap actors. Also when I stopped watching.

That was Sylvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford singing on that charity single! #totp

#totp This week in 1988 is surprisingly awful.

The wood-pigeon is back. Hooting away outside. It's a bit twirly for Spring, but it makes me wonder where they hide out over Winter.

Brrr! The forecast for tonight is below freezing, and it won't warm up again until midday tomorrow. Wrap up warm my friends!

Today's #SkyMix warning for ST:TNG is for "Adult themes and emotions". Heaven help us!

Happy Christmas everyone! Some of you are lucky enough to have family, some of you won't. Some are in good health, and some not. Some are safe and warm and have hope for the future and some don't. As 2024 nears its end, I wish you all a better tomorrow. youtu.be/28PTc4WE-RY?...

Everyone ready for the shortest day of the year? Almost, but not quite, half-way out of the dark.

Are we halfway out of the dark, yet? Just another day to go... I can't wait for Spring and longer, warmer days.

Watching "You Only Live Twice" for the umpteenth time. Classic Bond! No fancy CGI or overly complicated plot. Nearly 60 years old and still a great movie.

#EmpireStrikesBack One of the (many) joys of this movie are the quiet scenes between Luke & Yoda, Han & Leia. It has an epic story, and yet these scenes are so important. If this movie had been made today, it would have been one long space battle - and all the heart and emotion would have been lost.

Czech Billionaire Daniel Křetínský is taking over Royal Mail for £3.5bn.

His first step is to halve mail deliveries which will save £300m by getting rid of staff.

Prices will go up, employee's down, services down.

And every penny in profit goes to his tax haven accounts.

@profaliceroberts.bsky.social Your Ottoman adventure has put a fascinated smile on my face. QI and perfect viewing for cold dark Winter evenings. Looking forward to Digging for Britain, but also hoping to see you explain more about World history.

@tidybag.bsky.social Hi Tara! I really like your Tidy-Bag website. I've got a few Womble treasures which maybe you don't have. DM me if you're interested.

This whole list of forthcoming TV and movie releases, and the only one I'm looking forward to is the Blu-ray edition of The Wombles. #Womble #BernardCribbins @mikebatt.bsky.social

Yesterday I watched a documentary about pop in the 90's. (The first part was interesting, the rest less so). Today I'm watching a drama called "The Listeners". You couldn't imagine two shows less alike, and yet they both feature music by Nick Drake. He was taken far too young.
