Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

It's a bit of a flex to have Cynthia Erivo in a musical sketch and not letting her sing. #snluk

Delta gets my vote just for the song choice. But it was a great dance too. #strictly

Who do we talk to at Apple about this: You own a TV show or a movie that you bought from Apple, playing it on an Apple TV box. When the episode or movie is almost done the TV show or movie SHRINKS TO THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN — WE DON’T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN on stuff that we have purchased EVER EVER

Anyone wondering whether Jerry Hell's making up Leg Wrestling - she did it with Jonathan Ross on The Last Resort. #CelebrityTraitors

Gary Chalk, one of the artists on the Lone Wolf series, was my Art teacher in my first year at secondary school. I remember him having wargaming miniatures which he would be painting on his breaks. He was great. A very funny teacher.

Today I learned that the first 29 or so of the "Lone Wolf" books (choose-your-own-adventure style books, where you have stats and keep track of your equipment and such) were made available free online by the author: www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books

I worry about my brain sometimes. I just watched an old movie, once that I absolutely did watch around 2010 when it was on TV - I've still got the recording. It's a film I enjoyed, very much my kind of thing, and yet I could not remember any of the plot details at all.

Still, it means I got to watch it again for the first time, which is nice. And I still enjoyed it a lot. Not that this is new. I got 80% of the way into one series of House before I realised I'd definitely watched it before. Maybe I watch too much TV. No, that's impossible.

Now Ray Winstone is sitting next to a Chuckle Brother. This is the greatest episode of Strictly ever. #strictly

It was either Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers, or The Streak by Ray Stevens.

First single you bought with your own money. No lying! Mine: "Red Box - Lean on Me (Ah-Li-Ayo)", 1985. Still know every word.

Danny Dyer and Ray Winstone sitting together on Strictly. Can the studio contain such immense geezer energy? #strictly

I haven't been in a long while, but I'm glad the PCC is safer now.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Watching the new series of Mock the Week, and for some reason, I just felt a little twinge of happiness noticing that Mykola Pawluk is still working. One of those names that seems to have been around forever.

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

They need to turn the tender process into a ten week Saturday Night entertainment show like those Lloyd Webber audition shows.

Jed Mercurio of Line Of Duty is one of the names in the frame for Doctor Who, as the deadline passes for initial tenders. More here: filmstories.co.uk/tv/doctor-wh...

Now I'm disappointed we don't get to hear some Tangerine Dream on Strictly. #strictly

I shouldn't let the fact that those lyrics weren't in the original movie colour my view of the routine. But it's hard. #strictly

Paddling (canoeing) across Windermere today, into the teeth of a pretty stiff Force 3 wind - lumpy, and just this side of whitecaps - I came across a swimming squirrel, looking very stressed. Not a planned swim, I'm guessing. It was 300m to either shore, so I'm not sure s/he was going to be okay.

I have blamed The agents That hacked Your website And which You probably Reasonably thought I controlled Forgive me I am rich And unaccustomed To taking responsibility

We had a lovely trip to the Natural History Museum today, but all I could hear in my head was the theme to Nationwide.

Well this isn't problematic, is it? Getting flashbacks to our old Music teacher and a sixth former. #totp
