We're OK folks. Bullseye repeats with Jim Bowen, the least funny man in the history of humanity. Sadly it's a later series, so we don't have Jim doing a 5 minute routine about gay darts players (they can't throw darts cos they have limp wrists you see). On the plus side, we have a wonderful porn tash and one of the moors murderers wearing a Hawaiian shirt.

I watched the first of the new Black Mirror. Man, that was straight garbage. A cool concept taken in a really dull direction and taking itself ridiculously seriously. He seems to have a knack for taking a good idea and turning it into the dreariest of soap operas. It's something I felt with the previous series, but I thought I'd give this the benefit of the doubt as I rather enjoyed the first series. Won't be continuing though, after that.

Purely to piss people who are dumb enough to be friends with me on Facebook, I have just posted as my status "Michonne??? Negan you bastard!!!"

 

Looking forward to this episode, hope they don't fuck it up.

Thank you for that, Keith. I particularly enjoyed the images of them trying to spell words, with captions of the words underneath.

 

Some astonishing episodes of Bullseye on in the end, including a celebrity edition where they appeared to pull names out of a hat. Frank Bruno, a page three model and John McCrirrick. How on earth the latter hasn't been Yewtree'd I don't know, he was wobbling and waving his arms towards to page three model like a sexually frustrated octopus.  The idea of him copulating is appalling, it must be like being mounted by hippo with sideburns.

 

No Christmas Wellington action I'm afraid, but we did have the all in one Christmas pie, featuring turkey, sprouts, gammon, a bunch of other shit and gravy. Nothing compared to the wonderful infomercial I watched for the Copper Chef pan.

The one I watched involved such delicious dishes as chicken pot pie. They made this by pouring a tin of chicken soup in the pan and covering it with about 15 American biscuits. When you're making food so bad I wouldn't even post it in the #EATCLEAN thread, you know you're fucked.  He also made an apple pie by putting a tin of apples in the pan and putting pastry over the top of it. A regular Escoffier he was not.

 

This was all poor, but it was nothing compared to the middle-aged woman presenting the infomercial with the pan creator who was doing to the orgasm scene in When Harry Met Sally' "AWWWWWWW YEAH!!!, I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT IT IN MY MOUTH!!!!" She blurted while in the throes of pie-based ecstasy .

I bought my mum the dump dinners book (or possibly dump cakes) for a laugh — there's some absolutely insane stuff in there. Every single one of the dump cakes seems to start with "put a box of yellow cake mix in a pan". So, make a shit cake, then? Then, "add one odd variant ingredient, like a tin of pineapples".

While I despise QVC with every fibre of my being, I love a good (or bad) informercial.

 

Fuck Hogan and Mr T, this one is 100% pure charisma:

 

It looks terrible and that it wouldn't even be able to cook half the stuff they say it will

 

I have ordered one

I like it when he obviously burns his mouth when he takes his first bite of pizza.

I discovered the joys of Wolfgang Puck infomercials recently. Dogshit American classics like meatloaf and grits cooked by a man with a German accent. It's what I imagine the world would be like if Hitler had successfully invaded America.

Weirdly Wolfgang Puck is like, a properly good chef.

 

I used to like the Stainless Steel Wok (c.1990) hand-hammered in the People's Republic of China, presented by Wally Emerson Nash (why do I store these facts?), DiDi Seven and endless variations of knives that can cut through tin cans, uselessly.
