Undarntale, and other trivia


And suddenly, via a comment on Youtube, we discover Undarntale. How long's this been going on? 
"Everyone (except Frisk who’s a regular puppet on a stick) is a sock puppet with a Scottish accent. Based on Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre"

Flattering, it's done by someone called Lydia Prower and can be found on Deviant Art.


When will people posting on Facebook realise their posts aren't seen in real time? And they're watching sodding Game Of Thrones, which isn't even sodding shown in sodding real time! And which I've never seen! To be honest, I wouldn't know if it was being spoilered for me, even if it was.
But honestly, if I see "now that was an ending" one more time! For two days now, and they keep coming.




Okay, got a Tea Time Theme Time for you (off of BBC 6 Music's Mark & Radcliffe show). What connects these three songs? (Spoiler warning - if you know the answer, don't blurt it straight out. Let others guess, but let us know you know.)
The Night I Lost The Will To Fight - Cursive
What A Waste - Ian Dury & The Blockheads
Eton Rifles - The Jam


Who else finishes watching a movie and immediately starts googling the locations? Just watched The Man In The White Suit. Locations are actually quite hard to find, I still don't know where the factory was. But the chances are it was in Burnley. Cos the house Alec Guinness lived in was. Here's what it looked like in 1951 and what it looks like now.

The Guardian has invented a new meaning for the word "dominate". Apparently "female comics dominate the nine strong shortlist" for the Comedy Awards. Four of them. And five men. Equality achieved.




I've got a pair of tights so thick they can't feel global warming. They're Climate Change Denier.
Contender for #JokeOfTheFringe2018?


Bruce Forsyth has offered an exceptional variety of catchphrases for people to make tribute gags from. You could draw up a Brucie Bingo card. So far I've seen a few "Didn't he do well"s, a few variations of "nice to see you to see you nice", a couple of plays on the conveyor belt with the cuddly toy, and one person doing "Keep out of the black, and in the red; nothing in this game for two in a bed" which is either cleverly ironic or awkward. Still to come "scores on the doors", "give us a twirl" and "you're my favourite". So, from Mr Comics here, a reminder that Brucie was also the cover star of Film Fun back in his Sunday Night At The London Palladium days.
He did do well, though, didn't he. Cuddly toy.
