I've just seen a trailer for Portrait Artist Of The Year on Sky in which Joan Bakewell utters the line: "You have four hours to capture Dame Judi Dench". Which is just begging to be concluded: "We're giving her a five minute start!"
Here's a new TV game. Before Michael Portillo's great British Railway Journeys come's on, guess the preposterous colour combo of his jacket, shirt and trousers. One point for each item of clothing you get right. If you guess the colour, but get the wrong piece of clothing, score half a point.
Limited edition food products in supermarkets. What kind of twisted, sadistic mind comes up with the idea of making a tasty product, then saying 'you can only have it for a couple of months, then it's back to the usual boring stuff'.
Paul McCartney said that what strikes him about the recording of The Beatles - “All My Loving” is John Lennon’s playing triplets on the guitar. I noticed that also in The Beatles - “This Boy”. I've wondered if maybe this was inspired by Percy Faith’s version of the Max Steiner composition “Theme From A Summer Place”.
Just a few minutes ago my mind created a song not-quite-a-mashup involving Sade - “Smooth Operator” and The Buggles - “Kid Dynamo”. This isn’t the first time those two have joined up in my mind.
I have often thought of a mash up between Kylie's I Should Be So Lucky and Vow by Garbage. It sort of makes sense as the former is about unreciprocated love and the latter is about obsession. I think of Kylie's wistful character morphing into Shirley's psycho.
Has anyone else found the horrendous trailer for Katherine Tate's new comedy where she just caterwauls for 10-15 seconds unbearable? I've actually sent in a complaint as I'm having to endure it two or three times a day. Who thought this would be a good way to draw in viewers?
A Japanese slang term which roughly translates to "Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome". People with chuunibyou either act like a know-it-all adult and look down on real ones, or believe they have special powers unlike others.
This is a common stage in growth; for most people, it happens--you guessed it--around the 2nd year of middle school (Grade 8 in Japan). However, the problem is, there are some grown-ups who have this symptom.
There are 3 main types of Chuunibyou. DQN-type pretends to be antisocial even though they aren't, or can't be and has made-up stories about antisocial behavior. Subculture-type prefers subculture or minor trends just to be different and have the "cool" factor. Evil Eye-Type admires mystical powers and pretends to have one of their own, to the extent of establishing an alias just for that.
And if you think you have one of these or want more information in the subject, a good idea is to read the "Chuunibyou User Manual" (中二病取扱説明書, Chuunibyou Toriatsukai Setsumei Sho) by Saegami HYŌYA.

Sometimes I have a hard time telling Vladimir Putin and Phil Collins apart
Especially their drumming.
The Breeders should have released an album titled, 'Cup.'
Las Vegas Sphere
Erm ...
When stepping on the brakes your life is in your foot's hands.
Tonight on Channel 5, the Daily Star of TV broadcasting: The Day The Queen Died Minute By Minute. Almost admirably tacky title.
Never noticed how much Donald Trump resembles Don Imus until this mug shot.
Everything you know is wrong.
The South Korean women's football team has a player called Park Eun-Sun, pronounced Parkinson. This mildly amused me.

The vocalized bass line in Yohji Yamamoto & Yukihiro Takahashi - “Old Step” reminds me of the bass line in Don Ho - “Beautiful Kauai” ….

Wonder when seeing driverless cars driving around will no longer be a shocking experience.
How's this for nominative determinism - the man in charge of the royal fly-past is called Air Vice Marshall Mark Flewin.
