Sam Neill passed today and this might be the most Sam thing ever.
He named his farm animals after celebs; a goat called Graham Norton, Helena Bonham Carter as the horned cow, and zero chance of eating Meryl Streep.
Warm, witty, completely himself. Legend forever. 🦖
What’s one Sam Neill moment you’ll never forget?
Ann Widdecombe has possibly been murdered, and @SkyNews thinks it’s appropriate to have a man discussing whether she was a virgin.
Why would whether a woman had ever had penetrative sex be relevant to her possible murder?
He then went on to speculate, on mainstream media, that it was a robbery gone wrong rather than politically motivated. That may ultimately prove to be the case, but speculation about motive before the facts are established has no place in responsible news coverage.
The first instinct when discussing a woman who may have been murdered should never be to reduce her to her sexual history. Ann Widdecombe deserved better. Every woman deserves better.
Goodbye to the marvellous Ann Widdecombe who once ran a survey about the importance of equality of the sexes and got two replies, one from a woman and one from a man.
Immortalised here by the marvellous Victoria Wood.
Ta ta Ann, you turned out to be not only fun, but right, about many things.
Very important statement
On the Clacton-by-election
To clear up matters for
Everyone.
Because we are politically neutral
It would be wrong for us to
Name any candidate who
Favours CEEFAX returning
And it would be
Childish to find a way of
Embedding a subliminal message here.
I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.
This Man entered Amsterdam airport In 2016 and technically never stopped working till now. The man is a recording. Dutch designer Maarten Baas filmed a performer for 12 full hours behind a translucent screen, erasing and repainting the minute hand with a roller every minute.
In celebration of the new heatwave, here's a Public Information Film from the 1970's that you might just recognise. It's one of four films featuring two characters enjoying the good weather: Joe, complete with a handkerchief on his head, and his bespectacled wife, Pertunia, who has a tongue like Gene Simmons from Kiss!
Joe was voiced by Peter Hawkins (Bill & Ben, etc) and Wendy Craig voiced the first three films as Pertunia, followed by Bridget Forsyth. The films were made by the same people who brought us Willo the Wisp!
Bit of Public Information Film trivia for you. Did you know that Charley the cat from the Charley Says series, was voiced by Kenny Everett!
Toodlepip.
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
We have lift off! The first Pufflings are now leaving the Isle of May as birds are now independent. This is a big moment as they’ve never flown and not seen the sea before! Good luck :)
