This morning I took this photo of some ice in a bucket in our garden.

Dez turned it into a Piet Mondrian.

Bonus points if you also spotted the made-up quote on the side of the coin.

Sara Pascoe.
I've decided I quite like her doing stand up and Mock The Week.
Didn't mind her "Out of Her Mind" series in small doses.
We're currently watching 'Last Woman on Earth' where she goes and does dying jobs and feel like I'm seeing too much of the real thing, she's quite annoying....

Tonights "The Expanse" ! Double toilet scene. Do not need !

It’s the curse of over-exposure - as soon as someone becomes popular, they start cropping up in everything and you begin to wish they were spread a bit less thinly.

I don’t begrudge Sara Pascoe taking the easy money though. She deserves it more than most.

We liked the disappearing jobs series, SP was very personable. But then w3 don’t watch much stand-up.

No. That would be... something.

It was Cherry Valentine, and she’s out after the third lip sync. I did not agree with Ru Paul’s decision. Cherry gave the best performance by a country mile.

I should’ve guessed when they started concentrating on her back story, more than anyone else’s.

So, is it actually Morten Harket or just someone doing a very good impression of him?

Ruthie · « **Reply #1789 on:** 24 January, 2021, 02:41:07 pm »

Morten Harket’s from Trimdon.

Just discovered the existence of “Noon”, a 2020 album by Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon

The former's first release since his previous collaboration – Sixty Six Steps – with Gordon in 2005. Idle sod.

I have found that (a) my TV has the BFI player app built in and (b) the BFI has an archive of amateur documentaries from The Olden Days. No, not that sort of documentary, things like Coronation celebrations, wartime archives, celebrity cricket matches.

I follow a-ha on Faceache and this has just popped up in my feed, so out of curiosity I watched a little bit.
Can they really make an entire series out of that?

It’s entertaining enough for the first few episodes but the novelty does wear thin pretty quickly. The only reason to keep watching is because by that stage you’re invested in finding out who the celebs are.

o hai biffy clyro!

Putting 20 minutes of fuck-all in the middle of a track is neither big nor clever. Don't do it again.
