Put your circuits in the sea

[sovay]

After years of not even being able to pirate it, spatch and I have finally just finished the first series of BBC Ghosts (2019–23), during which he pointed out to me the half of the cast that had been on Taskmaster. I recognized a guest-starring Sophie Thompson.

This article on the megaliths of Orkney got Dave Goulder stuck in my head, especially once one of the archaeologists interviewed compared the Ring of Brodgar to sandstone pages. "They may not have been intended to last millennia, but, now that they have, they are stone doors through which the living try to touch the dead."

I wish a cult image of fish-tailed Artemis had existed at Phigalia, hunting pack of seals and all.

Any year now some part of my health could just fix itself a little, as a treat.

I need to warn you that you will THROW SOMETHING AT THE FUCKEN SCREEN at the end of Ghosts, otherwise a hilarious and moving project from the Horrible Histories folk. You will say "What?! NO!" and dislodge your beverage and be swamped by it and bellow. It is a canon event. I cannot save you.
The first Christmas episode is a real one, though. Ooof.
And Kitty. Kitty is so much and so good. I'm glad you're watching.

*am dog of war nice nice*

You are the second person to deliver this warning! Forewarned is not drinking a beverage for the last Christmas special, I guess.

I am really enjoying it so far. And definitely need to see Lolly Adefope's series of Taskmaster.

"Yeah, the seal is not a creature you want to toy with . . ."

Yeah the seal has a mind set on violence
And the seal is the sworn enemy of man

Wow, scream-singing to Mountain Goats songs really takes me back. To, like, last December and having to scream-sing 'No Children' at Republicans.

A fail-safe plot to piss off the dumb few that forgave us!
