Norton Juster has died. He was a million years old (91), but I am sad all the same. The Phantom Tollbooth is a great, great book.

Indeed. RIP. :( He didn't do bad, though, did he? 97 years old, not bad at all. And we will always carry his Murrayisms with us.

Yaphet Kotto, RIP.

He met an alien and a James Bond and today we mourn his passing.

The Beeb have flicked their telly channels back into summat approaching regular broadcasting pretty darn quick, haven't they? It would appear that they speedily discovered that it's not 1997 any more, and they can no longer pretty much control how and what viewers watch. The dicks.

Flat white.

They weren't "gaffes", he was being a cunt.

I wonder what he would have done if someone replied by asking him for a kebab.

If I were Buzz Aldrin's friend, I get him to punch more of those 'The Moon landings were fake!' people. Aldrin looked well handy the last time he did it.
