So, happy 50th anniversary to Melody Maker’s review of Bohemian Rhapsody: “Queen, with a suitably baroque vocal orchestration, contrive to approximate the demented fury of the Balham Amateur Operatic Society performing The Pirates of Penzance”

I wanted to find out when the deformation "dagnabbit" was coined and wound up finding out that "bear" is the same kind of word, used because you're too scared to invoke the actual thing
The Long Linguistic Journey to 'Dagnabbit'
This piece of pseudo-profanity is what's known as a taboo deformation—a word we say when we don't want to say the word.

Watched Cyclone (1987), a film about a cool sci-fi motorbike that didn't quite live up to it. Jeffrey Combs disappeared after the first act, the second act had precious little fun action (it was all so much endless "baddies interrogating the hero"), but the climax was fuck-yeah fun.

20 YEARS AGO TODAY: Final Score had been using The Fall's Theme From Sparta FC as its theme for this season, so someone had the brainwave of getting Mark E Smith to read the classified results on the red button service part of the programme.

Excellent viewing, especially if you're a Fall fan who supports a lower league English team and want a unique ringtone...

"In 2013, Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee toured their First Farewell Tour, followed by a tour 'comically' entitled Back Despite Popular Demand Tour a year later."

Sometimes I think about how there's a real video game called "Garfield: The Lost Levels". A title with a grim power to it

at a stage of novel drafting I call Checking The Plates because in my first novel I made a mistake in an early chapter about who was holding a plate and it cost us months of edits as we moved the plate around, always causing more problems than it fixed, so now I check for plates
