I'm getting feverish flashbacks to a dreadful Hoseasons holiday I had in the early 80s

They're off to set fire to Notre Dame

Great thinkers are often prescient in their pronouncements, and Hannah Arendt is one of the greats...

If, like me, you were worried the new Time Bandits be a sad pale copy of the Gilliam film - fear not! It's brilliant. Different. Joyous. The kid is amazing. Actually funny. Cracking cast. Only real problem is that I'm not in it.

It’s really funny that the only long-term effect of someone trying to assassinate a presidential candidate has been the break-up of Tenacious D

Brave brave Sir Robin! Eric Idle

This is what was going through my head every time I got on a bike as a child

New Trumpton fire brigade just dropped.

Can hardly hear the chatterboxes now for the din of people cheering on actual sport that's happening.

Now we're watching sport that happened years ago...

The Big Interview: British comedy veteran known for ‘The Young Ones’, Adrian Edmondson ❎ sits down with Andrew Mueller to talk about his memoir ‘Berserker!’, his often violent skits with late collaborator Rik Mayall and using humour to deal with trauma monocle.com/radio/shows/th…

In France ChatGPT is pronounced the same as 'Chat, j'ai pété' which means 'Cat, I have farted'. Which seems to sum the whole thing up pretty neatly.
