Will yap on (with only the slightest encouragement) about film, cats, comedy, music, manners, vanity, ego, and estate agents. I don't know if 25th Hour or The Shining is the best film ever made.

I mean, it's just like any other sense If you drench yourself in perfume, after shave or body spray, it's literally the same as constantly shouting to those around you #obnoxious

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

This post is unavailable.

In short, this doc shows the complicit nature between corporations and Governments. People employed to flag safety issues, ignored by bosses, ignored by HR internally, ignored by the executives,ignored by the governing body and ignored by the DoJ. And the press? Insufficient. #Boeing #Netflix

I like that the puce ragey types will be moaning about the national alert just now. The more they talk about it, the better the job is being done.

I have a movie quiz question for you. Name the one actor (one film) that links Fred Astaire with Weird Al. #MovieQuiz #BlueSkyMovies

Simultaneously, @mrrickygervais.bsky.social Gervais has made a delicate, poignant and emotional cat-lovers dream, while also turning his humour to 11 on the Derek & Clive scale. Only one episode in and loving it. #AlleyCats #Netflix #RickyGervais

Who else could have *bought* you and Coldplay, Chris Martin? Pol Pot? Idi Amin? Margaret Thatcher? #WorldCup #WorldCupFinal ##WorldCup2026

I've just finished the series. It's funny of course, but deeply touching and with a sharp, respectful eye on what it is to age. Diane Morgan has never put a foot wrong. #AnnDroid #BBCiPlayer #DianeMorgan Ann Droid, Series 1: Episode 1: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002xhy6 via @bbciplayer

Just heard a commentator propose that the clock is stopped for the hydration breaks. What does he think it would gain? The time is added on anyway?!

I recently heard @aiannucci.bsky.social talking on the radio, about how he was told that AI can't show a glass about to overflow. I've been considering the issue since, on and off. I think I'e done it, with just three consecutive instructions.

If AI is going to: *Take all jobs *Lead to Slynet *Kill us all Then, we might as well make the best of it. My Tuppence in Midsommar mode. #Caturday #catsofbluesky

Maternal Instinct on Netflix. I'd say it's unbelievable but frankly, there are a half a dozen people I've known in my life who I'd not be surprised to find they did this too. Two, I'd actively expect would do it.

Is it possible that the USA is simply trying to make the World Cup as internationally inclusive and open as the World Series?

More than anything, my big take away from Obsession is the lack of responsibility in being in a relationship. At the start, he's aghast that his cat is dead, having consumed medication, that was in a childproof tub, asking how the cat had accessed it. NO OPPOSABLE THUMBS. Plant, pet, person.

Brexit: A Very British Civil War, has a telling last piece of dialogue from Johnson, but earlier, Farage actually boldly says that the murder of Jo Cox was "completely unrelated to Brexit". I had to pause the stream and leave the room for a few minutes. Here's hoping you face something unrelated.

No humility from Alan Shearer. If VAR had been in place tonight, they would have been given a penalty. But no, he can't help but turn that into a bizarro further criticism of VAR, desperate not to let grip of his argument. All for ego. Their first goal wouldn't have stood either.

Christmas alone means the pick of what to watch and eat. First up this morning, The Shop Around The Corner, with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan. #ChristmasFilm #JoinIn #BlueskyMovies

Ah, the traditional Christmas Eve stare-at-nothing-on-the-ceiling-to-freak-your-human-out moment. Three minutes so far. #catmas #catsofbluesky

I am giddy with excitement to see Tuppy's obvious disdain/indifference to the presents I've bought her. Really ties the day together and makes it all worthwhile. #catsofbluesky #catmas

Started my Christmas films for the year. 23 of them; a number of which I've never seen. Including this one What an interesting film. It keeps a lot of the gravity and grit of the original story, in a family film. No wink-wink, just raw detail. Funny, catchy songs and charming. And Beaker.

If you want evidence the world is getting dumber, just look at the high use of the word "deserve" in adverts. Years ago, grifting salesmen using that were laughed at and pitied. Now we lap it up. 'Yes. They're right. My Christmas *does* deserve music and my music *does* deserve Bose'. Fuc's sake.

If TV execs really knew what they were doing, they'd pay Harry Hill ANYTHING he wants to make a TV Burp for New Year's Day every year, reviewing the slush from the previous fortnight.

Currently annoyed at the latest popular degradation of a saying. It's not "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission". That's presumptuous, entitled and rude. It needs to recognise/imply the poor behaviour. The correct saying is "It's *easier* to ask forgiveness than permission".

I've never been put off a World Cup (since 1982) as much as I have tonight. Utter toilet. A corruption celebration. #FIFA #WorldCupDraw #WorldCup #WorldCup2026

"..wars we managed to end. Some before they even started!" Fuck me. Is this written, or just drooled? Send him back to the are facility. #FIFA #Trump #WorldCupDraw #WorldCup2026

It is a parody, right? Awful politicians, dreadful music, poor jokes, a suspect official, a totalitarian president with eyes darting about in worry, a made up award for peace (ego) and a room full of suits. Get to fuck. #FIFA #WorldCup #WorldCupDraw #WorldCup2026

Assembling flat pack in your middle age is no fun. "2+ people required ". Tuppence has been somewhat of a '-0.5'. #Caturday #catsofbluesky
