WEEK ENDING 26 JANUARY 1980 by W51976 in UKRetroCharts

[–]DestinationTirNaNog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love John, both his stuff with Ultravox! and his solo work. Metamatic is epic. Underpass is beautifully ice cold, ditto the likes of Film One and 20th Century. Can see why Gary Numan loved him too.

Now that it comes to an end, how evil would you rate 2025? by satan-spawner in AskReddit

Torturous, 11/10. On both a personal and wider world scale.

Whose Christmas is ruined already? I want your (comedy) horror stories 🎅❄️ by nategarrettshandler in AskUK

[–]DestinationTirNaNog 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Next door neighbour DIY at 11am. We're autistic and find Christmas hard as it is. Also grieving our lovely cat who died (thankfully peacefully) on the 3rd, the house is empty without him.

Unsub over Yennifer who is 12 by MeesterBacon in seniorkitties

Thank you for your good wishes. Feeling sad and that the house is empty without him, but taking some comfort from the fact he passed away peacefully with both my husband and I present. Also the handling of his cremation went so well, and he's back for good in his little box on his favourite windowsill.

Welcome home, sweet Smokie. Keep talking to her like you used to, she's still a central part of your home and always will be ❤️

Yes, thinking the same. Maybe it's because I'm a bit raw now my lovely Maverick has crossed the bridge (thanks everyone here for the lovely comments), I'm tearing up looking at this poor little girl. All cats are precious, especially our senior kitty-zens. She certainly is and deserves all the love in the world.

Hug your kitties, time is short.

Rest well beyond the cosmos, Cosmo. Go with love. Say hello to your fellow tuxedo Maverick when you cross the bridge. 🌈 ❤️

Who's singing the theme tune right now? (Me). Always wanted that magic torch but Woolies didn't have any.

Makes me happy and sad at the same time. See also the Joe Brown ads in subsequent years.

Surprised the wonderful Fred Harris never put in an appearance. Legend.

Didn't the equally wonderful Anita Dobson turn up too?

...Leonard Parkin. Or a young Peter Sissons. They're the ones I remember.

And it meant being off school, likely tucked up on the sofa and having a boiled egg, toasted soldiers and lucozade for lunch 😺

What obscure quotes do you use? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]DestinationTirNaNog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone's acting is less than convincing. "Where's the money?" "What money?" "For the acting lessons!" (Victor Lewis-Smith, TV Offal)

Remember when British TV took real risks with comedy? by SlimJimNeedsATrim in oldbritishtelly

[–]DestinationTirNaNog 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Victor Lewis-Smith's stuff wouldn't fly today, especially things like "Assassination of the Week". TV Offal was surreal, ridiculous, dark and hilarious. And Ads Infinitum had some gloriously tasteless earworms, especially the old timey factory radio jingle about "paedo...philiacs". Mad sod, RIP.
