As promised on whatever day it was (was it really only yesterday? Or was it as long ago as Thursday?), here is a non-whining post. Consider it a celebration of my personal New Year. These are pictures of trips I've done this year. Altitude, my family summer holiday, Guide camp, the Lake District and the Ealing Comedy Festival. I'm not really one ( Read more... )

So, The Alan Titchmarsh Show from December 2009.

(  Look what I could have done! )

Three new favourite pictures, found at the crack of dawn this morning. Why did I never think to have another look at Flickr?

(I'm enjoying having an evening in with the house to myself, so I'm watching Zemanovaload, then Ashes to Ashes and I can't be bothered with any capping.)

These are from the Big Libel Gig. I've got quite a few more of him on ( Read more... )

Oh, now I'm really going for the obscure....

Two tweets from Ed dated December 12th:

On set of a short film for the BBC. I say, "On set". In a blokes living room would be more accurate.

Apparently, b4 a take, Jack Lemmon used to say," Magic time!". That's because Lemmon never did a microbudget, independent British short film

This is the film in ( Read more... )

Celebrity Mastermind. One man in a chair in the dark. I got twenty-five caps out of this one. I have a particular soft spot for it for a particular reason. Not telling why because it's a very long story which makes me sound a little insane.

( Name? Ed Byrne. Specialist subject? Star Trek movies )

This is Comedy Shuffle. Not really worth watching, in my opinion, unless you're a rabid Ed or Rob fan. I'm fond of Rob, and well...

It's a couple of years old. It's a promo appearance for Pedantic and Whimsical, and I'm really very fond of this era. The hair is indefinably different, and the glasses are definitely different and I'm sometimes not ( Read more... )

Just watched, and very much enjoyed, Grumpy Guide to the 80s. Well, there was the bit where half the Grumpies weren't really old enough. Ed Byrne and Shappi Khorsandi both turned ten in the early 80s and were teenagers by the end and Russell Kane stood out by not actually being born until 1980 and therefore couldn't possibly have either remembered ( Read more... )

Used to be, a while back, that I did lots of picspams. And then I didn't do any at all. But recently I've remembered how much I enjoy having pretty pictures in easy reach and I'm gradually making Ed ones.

These are from his latest live DVD, Different Class, and quite possibly this is where he's prettiest of all the things I've seen him in. And only ( Read more... )

I haven't done a picspam for a very long time and I certainly haven't done as many Ed ones as I could have done. Only two to my recollection and I got rid of one of them to do something unnecessarily complicated to it, which leaves only one open and available.

So here's Ed on Newsnight ten days ago. Big caps taken from iPlayer and therefore I've ( Read more... )

I really wasn't intending to be awake this early today, particularly as I only went to bed about 2am but my clock is awkward and if you press the button to make it glow, you just get a glowy green box because the time immediately fades so much it's unreadable. 4.38am, my laptop said when I dragged it onto my bed and having made the effort to pick ( Read more... )
