@BooksBeatles I’ve just listened to Richard Young on Desert Island Discs broadcast last Sunday (15 February 2026). He chose “Isn’t It a Pity” as one of his 8 tracks.

@BooksBeatles Hold up the double 666 hand sign,. But he knew what he was doing,.. you see, 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 , and further reduced, 1 + 8 = 9.
M c C a r t n e y = 9 letters
Since he is holding the sign with both hands, thats a double 18. He is saying there were two Paul's all along.
This is the trivia you need to know …
New Pope Leo XIV was born on the same day that Little Richard recorded Tutti Frutti!
[14 September 1955]

@MikeHaskins11@goonshowpod@Whos_He_Podcast Coming very late to the listening party but worth noting that Julia Foster’s 1976 Desert Island Discs (archived without the music) included The Ying Tong Song as a happy memory from around the time when her son was born!

@goonshowpod@Whos_He_Podcast Julia Foster was all the rage in 1975. She began the year with Spike in The Great McGonagall released in January 75 and then a few months later she was the lead in a big BBC production of Moll Flanders. Right - enough 47 year old Julia Foster news now!
NEW! This week Phil from @Whos_He_Podcast talks about Spike Milligan's The Great McGonagall (1974).
A reimagined life of 'the worst poet in British history', it was filmed in 3 weeks & featured Peter Sellers (kneeling on a skateboard) as Queen Victoria!

Had an absolute blast yesterday on stage as the 'kidnap victim' in @InsideNo9 Stage/Fright. Such a wonderful cast led by Steve Pemberton & Reece Shearsmith. Thanx also to Kate the CSM & the rest of the crew. Was wonderful to tread the boards once again & in such a hilarious show.
This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.
They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
@Awdacity@archivetvmus71 as someone who watched all his era on pluto over the last couple of years, i think it’s delightful we have the same favorite doctor despite our distance in age. hell of a show, eh?
