Good idea! It's about time Stanley Matthews was taken down a peg or two!

Funny that you mention that, because I'm sticking my Trebuchet cartoon on Twitters tomorrow, and I'll put When Nazi Sharks Attack, on, next week!

homfrus has been banned from all social media

I'm even too hot for Parler to handle!

This has got 1.3k views!

I feel a bit faint and confused, to be honest.

EDIT: Thanks to Interrobang, Pual, and Davuss for liking it/sharing it.

I need a lie down!

Hooray for homfrus

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:38 am

Ta!

It's now on 3.5k Twitter views, and I've got a vague feeling I'm going to get in trouble, somehow.

For pro trebuchet hate speech

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 2:56 pm

ves. It turns out that YouTube were actually correct in labelling me a hatemonger.

Post by **endar** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 2:56 pm

is that a type of cheese?

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 3:06 pm

Indeed it is. A cheese that can only be eaten by white men - the most maligned of all the species out there.

I yearn for the days when we could just laugh at Nazis. 'Fokkensie' as a name still really amuses me.

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 6:23 pm

And Stan Boardman built an entire career around his 'Fokkers' routine.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Apr 25, 2021 3:52 pm

So my Teletext thingy gets 4.1 thousand Twitter views (which I'm immensely grateful for), and mine/Jonesy's When Nazi Sharks Attack gets a whole 46 views. Utterly befuddling.

But hey ho, that's the Internet for youse!

The twitter algorithm is a baffling thing

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Apr 25, 2021 6:46 pm

Indeed. Also - have you done any of that uploading videos directly into Twitter, Davusk? I mean, rather than uploading Gifs or YouTube links/Embedded YouTube links?

Post by **dng** » Sun Apr 25, 2021 7:10 pm

i have not. i tried once but it wouldn't allow whatever file i had

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Apr 25, 2021 7:53 pm

Yup, I *think* they have to be in a 'just so' .mp4 format. YouTube is a lot less fussy on that front.

Post by **dng** » Sun Apr 25, 2021 7:57 pm

i wish youtube would let me upload animted gifs though

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Apr 26, 2021 2:51 pm

Yup, I used to feel the same about .swf files.

It's overrated, imo.

I'm putting this here because I can't think of where else to put it...

"every classic series doctor who serial described by red dwarf"

Requires Classic Who knowledge, but not much Red Dwarf knowledge at all. Very funny even if you hate Red Dwarf, due to drastic recontextualization.

The bits I 'get', I likes, but if it had been...

Then that would've probably suited me more!

It is a bit too niche, perhaps, yes.

DEFUND THE BBC!!!

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Jun 06, 2021 7:43 pm

I saw a week ago that the Beeb put on BBC4 a vintage childrens block of TV shows, featuring Bagpuss, The Clangers, etc, etc. I mean, that's all very nice, but I do wish they'd show a bit more imagination when going through their archives.

Post by **dng** » Sun Jun 06, 2021 8:02 pm

But they're the best ones

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jun 07, 2021 1:34 am

I want Hartbeat, Camberwick Green, Mary Mungo and Midge, and The Banana Splits!

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jun 07, 2021 1:35 am

Also: The Adventures of Sir Prancelot!

I've got a bit fascinated with the 1970s misery-com 'I Didn't Know You Cared'. It's like Last Of The Summer Wine crossed with Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads, plus extra misery. It's also the brownest show I've seen in ages.

Especially don't watch Series 3 - it contains extremely ill-considered 'race' humour.

did you know Hannah Martin from Neighbours is now a journalist for German TV?

And Bouncer is now a set designer for Canal+ !

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Aug 12, 2021 7:40 pm

I have no recollection of the character Hannah Martin, so I presume she's after the era of Jason Donovan und Kylie?
