  1. If you are a creator of any type (artist, writer, indie games dev, craftsperson, brewer, whatever’s your skill set) and you wish to publicise your current project or showcase your wares here on Mastodon? Do it. I love to see what people do and what drives them. And while my finances won’t always stretch to a purchase I absolutely welcome seeing your work. As far as I am concerned you are absolutely welcome here. We should all support that. #Create #Creative #Indie #SupportCreatives

  2. Americans will never quite understand how odd it is for us Brits to see Nicholas Lyndhurst on a Frasier set.

    It’s like Hugh Laurie on House all over again.

    Lyndhurst is best known for playing Rodney Trotter in long-running British sitcom Only Fools and Horses between 1981 and 2003.

    I’m struggling to think of any kind of comparable example from American TV.

  3. On the positive I suppose that the mere usage of the name Threads will introduce a whole new generation to the horror of the post apocalyptic early 1980s BBC film of the same name: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread

  6. First night of Art, last night. All went very well. Positive write up in the local papers this morning. warwickshireworld.com/whats-on Quite happy with that. The audience certainly seemed to respond well to it. #Theatre #Stage #Play #LeamingtonSpa

  7. Never 100% certain how these kind of posts go down on Mastadon. But here goes…

    Starting tonight, at The Loft theatre, in Leamington Spa: Art, by Yasmina Reza. I’m one of the three involved with this three handed. It’s a comedy. 90 mins. Some strong language About friendship, who we view ourselves, and an argument over a very white painting.

  8. When you thinking of crackly VHS film grain and bright neon? That’s really the early 90s. Not so much the 80s at all.

  9. And yes, there was a fair bit of electronic synth driven music. But pop culture wise? 80s Britain had lot of two tone. A lot of reggae. A lot of Ska. A lot of bluesy pretentious saxophone driven music. And good god, spare us all from all the Stock, Aitken and Waterman…

    It was a lot more diverse than people seem to be remembering it.

  10. Brown. Grey. Green. Red.

    Very occasionally? Navy blue.

    80s Britain was the colour palette over a painfully overcast day.

    Part of what added a lot of the brown into that colour palette? Was wood panelling. Everywhere. Even TVs and radios were covered in the stuff.

  11. Folks, forget the neon. Forget the pinks and blues.

    I don’t think I can adequately convey just how Brown the early 80s was. And Beige. Seriously, looking back at 80s film and TV you would be forgiven for wondering if blue had been removed from the colour palette entirely. Plenty Red. Plenty Green. Very little blue.

    And certainly never *bright* blue. Where you *had* neon signs they were mostly red or green.

  12. I’ve been sliding back down that 80s advertising rabbit hole on YouTube again. It got me thinking.

    We have been going through something of an 80s revival in the past few years (kicked off by the likes of Stranger Things). And when we see people embracing this aesthetic it’s generally very bright. Lots of neon. Pinks and blues. A loud colourful electronic synth-wave utopia.

    As a guy who grew up through the early 80s, reader? I have some bad news for you…

  13. “Mark Buckingham is free to do his version of Fables (and I dearly hope he does). Steve Leialoha is free to do his version of Fables (which I’d love to see). And so on. You don’t have to get my permission (but you might get my blessing, depending on your plans). You don’t have to get DC’s permission, or the permission of anyone else. You never signed the same agreements I did with DC Comics”.

    I’d love to see both. Hope they take that up.

  14. Welcome to December, Mastodon. Here is your annual reminder that the late, great, Sir Christopher Lee recorded an album of heavy metal Christmas songs. And if you are just discovering this for the first time today? Enjoy...

  15. I don’t know how many people we *thought* we were buying cheese for. But it’s definitely disproportionate to the two of us. #ChristmasWeek

  16. Merry twixtmas.

    May the fates allow you to remember what day of the week it *actually* is, but only if you foolishly agreed to do something on a specific day this week.

    For the rest of you? Settle in. Everything is just ‘Christmas’ this week. Want to do nothing but eat cheese? Go ahead. It’s Christmas.

    Want start drinking at 10:00 am? That’s fine! It’s Christmas. Have at it.

    Those leftovers? In a barely assembled ‘sandwich’? At 2 am? It’s Christmas! So be it!

  17. Christmas Week. That period of absentminded confusion where you know objectively that it must be *a* day of the week, and yet no longer really care which it is. Every day is just… ‘Christmas, until New Year’s Eve. #ChristmasWeek

  18. Ah. Christmas week begins in earnest… Is it Friday? Is it Saturday? Does it matter? Is it Christmas now? Has it been? Am I supposed to be somewhere? Who knows! #ChristmasWeek #ChristmasVibes #WhoAmIAgain

  19. Wherever I am seeing the wording ‘Coronation Street Party’, my mind has to process if we are talking:

    a) Coronation *Street Party*

    Or

    b) *Coronation Street* Party.

    The focus and attire required for each being markedly different.

    Be careful folks. Avoid those social faux pas.

  20. Good Evening, Mastodon. Congratulations. You made it through another week. And given that none of us could even remember what day of the week it *was* when that week began, I’m classing that as a special achievement! #NewYearVaguery #NewYearVibes #BetterGetOnWith2023

  23. No spoilers for Doctor Who. But I really rather enjoyed that. A good solid Christmas Special. Some familiar notes, a good smattering of new (and likeable) characters and plenty seeding of plot points to be followed up on later.

    The show’s got a real positive energy to it at the moment. The refresh that it arguably needed.

    Roll on May.
