Skips Salt & Vinegar: The vinegar lands with a surprisingly sharp slap. Meanwhile, the Skips perform their usual vanishing act, dissolving instantly while the salty, acidic tang clings on to the lips for dear life. An exhilarating crunch. Rating: 8.2

@DougTenNapel Blender Magazine had an Earthworm Jim giveaway. Fantastic stuff.

EWJ was slop when I made him. You probably spent more thought, skill and care in writing prompts to make this Ai image than I did scribbling out the original.

@idlewildgirl There should be more toes in there.

@RodneyMarshall1 Kenneth Williams' wind in the willows.

@FionnCarroll And why not? I prefer unabridged versions, but if the narrator captures the spirit...

Nice to see so many people fondly remembering Jon Pertwee thirty years on. I was nine when his narration of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island came out on cassette, and listening to him animating all the voices of the pirates & adventurers led to my lifelong love of books.

@Kristinartz Monster that you are.

Be honest… do you still break your spaghetti in half before cooking it like we used to?

@monstroso @MichaelRosenYes It's not big and made out of cardboard like the British of yore.

I ordered a new passport (having been alerted by a @MichaelRosenYes post that the issue date is more relevant than the expiry date) & it came impressively fast. I’ll miss my red one. The new one photographs much bluer than it looks. It’s actually very dark, almost…

@oakroyd A lovely photo.

@reyscarradine The wearing of wooden clogs was important in 70's film making. Luckily the mic was close enough to catch the subtlty of the footwear.

🚨 James O’Brien just torched the whole “Brexit betrayal” narrative on @LBC: “How can it be a betrayal if every single reason they gave us has turned out to be blatant, barefaced LIES?” Brexit is back at the centre of frontline politics and the Leave camp is already screaming betrayal again. #Brexit #RejoinTheEU #LBC

@prodnose Sneaking into the cinema, back in the day, could go very wrong.

I saw this when I was 14. Warners Leicester Square. Had to hope they thought I was 18. Woman on ticketing didn't even look up. It completely pulverised me. I was 100% in its thrall. Next night I came back to see it again. This time bloke wouldn't let me in because I was 14.

@LBFlyawayhome The shoe shop was he only place where the machine, the tape measure, the wee shoe lady and I, agreed that the shoes were a bit too small for my bit too big feet. Still. My mother knew better.

What are you deleting?

@elonmusk Thank fuck that your lunar endeavers aren't being done for the societal good of everyday man. Up the investors! Down with the working earthlings.

"It is science that has made the old creeds and the old superstitions impossible for intelligent men to accept. It is science that has destroyed the belief in witchcraft, magic and sorcery. It is science that has made it laughable to suppose the earth the center of the universe and man the supreme purpose of the creation. It is science that is showing the falsehood of the old dualisms of soul and body, mind and matter, which have their origin in religion. It is science that is beginning to make us understand ourselves, and to enable us, up to a point, to see ourselves from without as curious mechanisms. It is science that has taught us the way to substitute tentative truth for cocksure error." — Bertrand Russell

“There is not in Europe any such thing as a pure race. Russians have an admixture of Tartar blood, Germans are largely Slavonic, France is a mixture of Celts, Germans, and people of Mediterranean race, Italy the same with the addition of the descendants of slaves from every corner of the Empire imported by the Romans. The English are perhaps the most mixed of all. There is no evidence that there is any advantage in belonging to a pure race. The purest races now in existence are the Pygmies, the Hottentots, and the Australian aborigines; the Tasmanians, thanks to the British, who were probably even purer are now extinct. There is a special absurdity in applying racial theories to the various populations of Europe.” — Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays, Ch. VII: An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish: A Hilarious Catalogue of Organized and Individual Stupidity
