Sturmey Archer’s Slipped Cogs

Sturmers, they had six episodes written and recorded for last week and this. Then they were told that only five per week would be broadcast. This means that there was an episode left over at the end of last week, which was broadcast on Sunday; next week there will be two, because not only will one have carried over from the week before, but one will not be used in the week for which it was originally intended. Luckily for them, they only had about three weeks’ recording in hand when the edict was passed saying they had to cut the number of episodes broadcast.

This means that each week for the time being will have two casts of actors, two writers, and two directors, because the left-over days won’t have the same ones as the week-after days.

Wednesday’s Scrapins:

…I’m just about to LA, so tell me will it be a woeful experience? or will the scraping bear the fruit of 13+ minutes of due diligence and resulting enlightenment, or just a couple of wheel-barrows full of the usual shyte? …better be quick folks, Sturmey’s pipe is all stoked up and ready to be ignited (…but not in a GayGormanghastlyKitchenish sort of way (…he hastily added!))

Quick edit:

How’s about:
WotaWoy, in a rare attempt to be sensitive and nice, tells CryspyLynda¹ that

  1. as far as he’s concerned, he hasn’t noticed any difference to how she looked before her new face-lift
  2. he thinks her “nu-look” is a vast improvement! (…and think how useful her look will be come next Halloween! :scream::scream::scream::scream:

(…note here from FatMan: "Plees xcooose Sturmee’s extremeeeely bad-taste in the jokage de;prtmnt. He has a veeiiry weiiiird sence of umor! (…espechulllleee at moment as I just took a dump in his 'ob-nailed clogggggs cuz he woodent switch to cat-TV insted of this Harcherish Garbiage! Meeeeeeeeeooooooooow! :imp::imp::imp::poop::poop::poop::cat::cat::cat::cat::cat::cat::cat:

¹ or perhaps it should be CynderSnell (…or CynderSnella) (…one for TheList? (O FyshyWan?))

Turdsday - scrape, scrape, scrape:

Jesus wept! Robert & OllieFoxBrush moping over the spot where CynderSnella was re-modelled (…in a Dresdenish sort of way!) (…thinks to self: “…did nobody think of making a quick video on their phone, and sharing? …c’mon, this is the 21st Century!”)

…Gawd, this is dire! (…reaches for the extra rolls of loo-paper recently hoarded! …scrape, scrape! …wipe, wipe, wipe!)
