Yes! Gather round! Enjoy the sight of me being shocked by a big vibration in my behind!
And yes, ‘Gary vs….’ is probably a thing now. I have plans and ideas but no ruddy time, tho.
I have genuinely spent 10 minutes starting at this but, no, it really DOES appear to be true that a bunch of cryptobros just spent €2.6 MILLION - 100x the asking price - for a book at auction in the mistaken belief that they would therefore own the copyright in it.
Lads, if Doctor Who has riled you up this week with its intimations that British rule in India might not have been overwhelmingly appreciated and you’re shocked that imperialism may have had some awful side effects then OH BOY is Actual History going to be a shock for you.
As I said to Tom last night, this was beautifully done.
My only note was that his trousers should have fallen down at this exact point, leaving him dangling in mid air, trousers round ankles, wearing only love heart emblazoned boxer shorts and socks held up with sock suspenders
We’ve got an original copy of the shooting script for Carry On Up the Jungle at work, doesn’t mean that I can produce a gritty animated remake, no matter how tempting that might be.
I am retiring to bed now. I fully expect that when I awake this will have been proved to be either performance art, a scam or a cheese dream. *angrily blows out candle*
Also, as someone working in the field, digitisation does not = preservation. All they’ve done is replace a long term, resource-light asset with a short term and resource-heavy one that doesn’t work in the way the creator intended.
Update: they really are incredibly stupid. Like, the stupid person’s idea of clever. This would almost make sense, if there weren’t c 10 other copies out there.
Oh no.
Not AGAIN.
BACK BACK BACK later this year.
(Yes, this means there’s new stuff coming, no it’s not Citation Needed OR IS IT?*)
*it is not. OR IS IT**?
**it’s really not.
Quite a few of you are praising Chris/us for being so sensitive and open with the subject matter here.
I’d personally like to say thank you to you, the audience. The comments on the video and elsewhere show just how wonderful, tolerant and nice you all are.
To reiterate, the Tories have just, live on camera, thrown a Sky News reporter out of their campaign launch.
42 more days of them being absolutely shit at this, it’s going to be amazing
An England fan in Qatar speaks to TalkTV about the treatment of fans at the World Cup.
"What they don't realise in places like Qatar is the fans are the essence of the game. We are what makes football it's not the corporates."

My new favourite jam is people tweeting ‘the writing has improved this week’, like they think they make the show on a week-by-week basis after they’ve had a shufti at the reaction from a load of gammons on Twitter.
Not posting this on professional twitter because it’s made me so so angry and upset. Archivists all over the country are just doing the absolute best they can to keep everyone - staff and users - safe.
Just checked my email.
What do YOU do when you’ve had a few cocktails on a Saturday night? Text an ex? Go out on the pull? Have a fight in a pub car park,
Or, like me, do you have appeared to have applied to be on sodding MASTERMIND.
Yeah it’s a) to build their new, crime-free life outside of prison b) low risk prisoners on day release and so therefore c) not going to be Charles Bronson handing you your McNugget Happy Meal.
Wh….how the fuck does a non-woke bank work? Money with the Black and White Minstrels on? Homophobic mortgages? Bank cards with Bernard Manning jokes on them?
The more I look at this, the more amazing it is. The lamb trying to get away. The boarded up church. The tongue of the shoe just peeping over the trouser. The mad outfit for ‘just being out for a walk’. Absolute classic Truss.
Had been at Uni in Aberystwyth about 20 minutes. A nice Irish girl walked into my room (of course, doing the old freshers thing of having my door open etc), and said ‘I like your Dalek poster’.
That’s it. Been together 20 years next year.
I have been informed by
@MattGrayYES
that my video is ‘trending’ on YouTube.
I have sent my butler out to the local public house to enquire with youths there as to what this means, but I am assured this is a Good Thing
Well as it’s York Pride next week, errrm, well, yes. Draw your own conclusions, folks. Certainly I am toward the lower two colours, here

Don’t want to get all emosh but after a really not good week of health news, spending a day with these bellends was just what I needed. And the new stuff is really different, we were genuinely wholesome (at times)
The fact that one 1980s Doctor Who superfan has just told another Doctor Who superfan to, and I quote, ‘stick it up your fat arse’ is exactly the way the 60th anniversary of a British sci fi series should be celebrated. You wouldn’t get this sort of fun with Stars Trek or Wars.
My dad took this of me up a very big hill last week and I actually really quite like it.
There is no punchline, I just think it’s a very nice picture of me and I wanted to post it for that reason.
You may go about your day.
*pinches bridge of nose*
I see the tech bros have invented the fuckin’ train again, then. Only they’ve made it extra unstable, and likely to destroy motor vehicles and mow down pedestrians and anyone with a sensory/motor impairment
That’s actually from training I’ve found online from the Office of Addiction Services and Supports in New York, delivered in October 22.
It appears to be a group activity based around identifying and discussing the impacts of personal worldviews and unconscious bias.
A friend of mine, who works in a public university, sent this to me earlier this week 👇🏻
It's p. 1 of the DEI training his department is forced to take, starting w/ an exercise that asks which intersectional identities you'd save and which you'd leave to die.
This is demonic.
Quite a few chums in the comments asking why they’re not wearing gloves - answer is they don’t need to, they’ll do more damage with them on (unless photos or other things that absolutely need them)
Tl;dr: they’re bloody professionals, TV lies to you, they know what they’re doing
I cannot tell you how emotional I am over this. I have always wanted to see them, have been planning one of those trips north one day to do it….and there it is, right over my back garden. Stunned.
At the start of Pride Month, it’s great that the video has been received so well, but also that there’s been basically nobody being an arsehole in the comments.
You are, and remain, the best of audiences, and we are very lucky to have you around.
This makes absolute sense. When I give a talk for a corporation, I don’t promote other corporations. If I did, I would be fired on the spot and never booked again. Is that hard to understand?
Actually for the full 70s Carry On effect, this should have been a stuntman for the long shots, and then a close up to Tom dangling in front of a crude back projection while he made frantically made exaggerated ‘OH NO!’ faces.
As I said to Tom last night, this was beautifully done.
My only note was that his trousers should have fallen down at this exact point, leaving him dangling in mid air, trousers round ankles, wearing only love heart emblazoned boxer shorts and socks held up with sock suspenders
