#Lego Town Dec 1st: Time for my annual Xmas Lego saga (some of you may have seen this before, some may not). Only every second day this year, as I’m running out of new minifigures to add. To start, here’s a little stop-motion animation as a re-introduction… (sound on!)

Finally completed the mammoth task of getting all 1000-odd episodes of #DoctorWho and its spinoffs onto my Plex server.

“Researchers Find A Previously Unknown Chapter Of The Bible In An Ancient Manuscript”

ALT “Researchers Find A Previously Unknown Chapter Of The Bible In An Ancient Manuscript”

Screenshot from Red Dwarf. A newsreader on groovy funky channel 27 announces: ‘Good evening. Here is the news on Friday, the 27th of Geldof. Archaeologists near Mount Sinai have reportedly discovered what is believed to be a missing page from the Bible. The page is presently being carbon dated in Bonn. If genuine, it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to read: "To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental." ‘

Curiosity got the better of me and I watched a bit of that AI Pertwee Dalek story on YouTube. Had to switch it off after a few minutes. Apart from the usual problems of dodgy faces and dodgy voices the whole thing is just so unrelentingly DULL. 1/2

Barely any dialogue, and when there is it’s stilted, perfunctory, and utterly soulless. Plus there’s an eternity of silence between one character speaking and another responding. Of course the comments underneath are full of people saying how amazing it is. Bloody hell. 2/2

Hey at least if Ed Sheeran’s career tanks then old Ronnie here can revive his scam:
Photo of a man who looks nothing like Ed Sheeran with the following text: “ The Southern Illinois fugitive task force is looking for Ronnie Williams Jr. of rural Bluford for fraud. He has convinced 3 local churches that he was singer Ed Sheeran and even went as far as performing "The Shape Of You" in front of one church congregation this last Sunday. When the pastor was asked why he believed the real Ed Sheeran would perform for 35 dollars and a sandwich, he said he just assumed he had fell on tough times. If you have any information as to Ronnie's whereabouts, message us immediately.”

Well… #70up about to start soon. I’ve been watching it since 28up 😳. Excellent series, though for the last couple of decades at least it’s increasingly looked like a strange aberration on ITV, a sad reminder of the quality of programmes they used to make.

I mean, Trump probably has united the whole of Ireland in thinking he’s a cunt, so that’s something.

The key thing about Trump’s 5000 dollars bullshit is what he said at the end about how it has to be spent in America. How do you enforce that? Obviously it won’t be paid into people’s bank accounts, my guess is it’ll be 5K ‘credit’ of some sort. 1/2

Only accessible and spendable through a certain channel, and there’ll be all sorts of loopholes and legal technicalities which mean no one will ever actually receive it. Or at most a very small amount of people. 2/2

Crikey. A “normal” episode of #StrangeNewWorlds. And bloody good it was too. Joe Morton is always good value whenever he turns up in anything.

A few years ago I recreated Tim Curry’s iconic entrance in The Rocky Horror Show by animating it in Lego: youtu.be/I_iTDmQeWzw?is=KbHo…

Ah damnit, now Tim Curry’s died at 80 too. 😢 DEATH, IF YOU’RE TAKING FAMOUS 80-YEAR OLDS THERE’S ONE OBVIOUS CANDIDATE YOU’RE MISSING.

Just think - we now know that during this iconic moment Spock was probably remembering a weird dream he once had. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds

That was ridiculously silly fun. Don’t know how Ethan Peck managed to keep a straight face throughout, especially the penultimate scene… Shame they chickened out with the ending though. #StrangeNewWorlds
