Meatloaf from my local grocery store deli; my homemade bread. Nigel would be so pleased.
Arrived recently in the mail: an exhaustive overview of the early years of #DonKirshner's self-named label -- yup, plenty of Archies and much more besides -- plus an exhaustive overview of "Yes it's like #SpinalTap but it's mostly #TheYoungOnes and they're all actually English and" etc.

We visited Stonehenge today. It’s a Neolithic marvel, a UNESCO world heritage site and it’s great to be able to show it to our friend from New York. Obviously, me being me, I spent the whole time quoting Spinal Tap and speaking in their ridiculous English accents, to my own great amusement if no one else’s. Imagine my delight to find this tucked away discreetly on their wall of quotes in the visitors’ centre.
Hamhenge! Where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Hamhenge! Where a ham's a ham
And the bread does dance with a bit of jam.

Anyone else catch this on tonight's episode of #Pointless? Can't believe no one knew that #Girlschool was a real band!!! Only one person had heard of Diamond Head, while #Saxon scored a big 6. Meanwhile, Devil Warlock wasn't a band (it's the opposite of Angel Witch) and apparently Doppel Gang was an early name for #SpinalTap (although I don't remember that being in the movie). And who/what was Cloven Hoof??? #HeavyMetal #NWOHM #rock

The #SpinalTap claim that one of its drummers died in a "bizarre gardening accident" was funnier to me before about 5 years ago, when my father had one of his own, injured his brain, and died about 6 months later.
So, in this week's edition of #ExtremeGardening news, I took on the same overgrown oleanders that killed my father.
Unlike my father, I brought the right equipment: hard hat, glasses, gloves, and pole-mounted chainsaw (link below). Pole saws are better than ladders any day, especially when it's a freakin' chain saw.
Afterward, I fed my aching muscles a shake of whey protein.

Just for a laugh, myself and some friends will be going to a showing of the classic film This is Spinal Tap, in the almost-mothballed IMax cinema. 🙂 🎬

There's a curious story to go with this backstage pass & photo I took of #SpinalTap bassist Derek Smalls. And it involves a couple of ex-Bay City Rollers... #rock #photography #movies

Happy (belated) 75th birthday to #SpinalTap’s Nigel Tufnel and the writer/director/star of films like #WaitingForGuffman (1996), #BestInShow (2000) and #AMightyWind (2003).

Unable to switch off my TV. Not until #SpinalTap has finished. How many times have I seen this now? 🤘🎸
My favourite #SpinalTap scene, many to choose from but the absurdity of this always has me crying.
"jog to the left" 😂🤣
While I’m not an artist at all, I like to draw and I went on a kick a while ago drawing some characters I like. These are a few of my better ones. #drawing #sherlock #merlin #flightoftheconchords #SpinalTap
