Always amusing how the UK's Strongest Man has pivoted from In His Spare Time He Enjoys Lifting Dual Carriageways to Geoff Plans To Retire From Competitions Next Year To Complete His PhD In Biomolecular Nanocosmology.

Did you ever have a penpal either from a magazine column or one of those services you could send off to and get matched with someone? Who were they, where were they from and most importantly how... odd were they? timworthington.org/2017/09/08/l...

Horror-themed food aimed at children - X-rated snacks in a 'U' Certificate world - used to be everywhere at one point. It's surprising we weren't all scared of eating, frankly... timworthington.org/2017/09/08/l...

Post-Loaded irreverent lifestyle guide magazines. They tried to do one for everything from sport to food. Did you have one you loved and lasted the course with, and was it as good as Eat Soup? timworthington.org/2017/09/08/l...

TV Mayhem - TV-am-sponsored prehistoric Big Breakfast ancestry as a pre-fame Chris Evans tries to prop up an ailing TV-am with his own invariably self-centric brand of Saturday Morning on-screen anarchy. They lost their ITV franchise shortly afterwards. timworthington.org/2017/09/08/l...

Just noticed Heroes is back on Netflix. Three episodes in and I'm thoroughly enjoying it but I'm also acutely reminded of how SO many people kept telling me that no I did not like it and I was to stop watching it at once because they did not personally enjoy it.
