So funny. Absolutely ridiculous but proper hilarious. 1990, the start of my ongoing crush on Bob Mortimer.
Vic Reeves a tall man in a white suit and Bob Mortimer dressed as Judge Nutmeg. The judge sits in a high backed chair behind a desk and holds a mallet. A large blue sign with black writing is in the background

Any #Halisky / NS friends got a kid with dj aspirations? This is a few years old but has been carefully stored. Make me an offer!

We've all experienced methane cuddles
Top image: a cartoon couple in bed one farts- the other looks horrified. "I want you to know that every time I fart under the covers... I'm doing it because I care about you and I want to keep you warm Bottom image: love hearts as one cartoon character smiles and the other tries to escape. "Don't fight my methane cuddles. Enjoy them"

Belated happy 1year gotcha day to our Rudi. Permanently confused but always happy to rub up against his favourite people and to sing. This cat loves to make himself heard.
A tabby cat looks somewhat confused about how he came to be sitting on top of a headboard. Behind him is patterned wall paper. Big yellow flowers

Interrupted Eddie mid-wash. The volume on the purring is waaaaay up this morning.
Tabby cat with beautiful green eyes. She has a white chest, thumbs and white socks. She looks a bit sad or maybe disappointed.

He's not supposed to be all the way up there. It was a big jump down for Rudi with his wee, stumpy legs.
Cat sits unrepentantly on top of a cabinet. Underneath a wooden vaulted ceiling.
