Posted on Sun, 21 Jul 2024

"He stood out because they all had beers in their hands but he was standing perfectly still, with his arms crossed and a felted wool toadstool on his head."

Spencer looks and sounds like a fish out of water more than ever in this episode...

Well it's nice to hear that Alfred had a break even if it seems to have arisen out of confusion. The company's loss and our gain at reading more of his work.I wonder if he will ever get back to his 'Henry VIII timeswap with Alfred' stories. Maybe...

"A family of bears had a nice little cottage,
Mother Bear made them their breakfast porridge.."

Was talking about Putin only

Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024

Was talking about Putin only yesterday. History has a habit of repeating itself so I wondered whether he would be airbrushed from history in the same way Stalin was in Russia after his death. I'm sure they would make good soul brothers if they...

"Vanessa suddenly remembered

Posted on Tue, 16 Jul 2024

"Vanessa suddenly remembered what Cher sounded like with autotune.." Made me laugh...I think I know the song you are referring to.
