Hello, universe (fake it 'til you make it). Sam here.If my own mental process bespeaks broadly, you're probably in the mode of thinking that there won't come a time when Boris pops on the box and plainly announces it's time to unlock this -down. What started as a test of endurance will become a social experiment in obstinacy. The Guru keeps spurting increasingly incompatible proclamations - one by one, the formerly credulous will flee The Sanctuary and take their chances in The Nasty Outside of

Hello. Sam here. The world is currently one or two things, depending on your bandwidth. Here's a third thing.Find within natterings vis-à-vis Beastie Boys Story, The Midnight Gospel and, inexorably, Doctor Who. Oh, and the worst cover of any song you’ve ever heard. We soil a legacy and stamp on a grave. We are shame. We are sorry.

Yo yo yo, Sam(uel) here. Welcome to the second edition of our audio-VISUAL (this is ALSO VISUAL!) spin-off, the Fear the Walking Dead to Funfiltered's The Walking Dead. I've seen nothing of the former and little of the latter so I hope the analogy stops just shy of this sentence.Once more, you are graced with a pixelated facsimile of Eddie to accompany his dulcet tones. The human with whom he does natter is Freyja Skea, a pal, uni compat and ex-national expat, and that about which they do natter

Hey hey hey, Sam here. It honestly feels a bit weird having to write one of these blurbs. It's like driving someone else's car. I mean, I can't drive, but I imagine it's like that. Or wearing someone else's shoes. Even if they've been abandoned for some time, there's a psychic inference of warmth. And the sense that your feet might be corrupted, soaking up the steps of your predecessor via material osmosis. Am I now a part of wherever they once went? Whatever they once did? If you wore Usain Bolt's

Hello. Sam here. For a limited time, we boys... no, MEN of the Funfiltered podcast are serving as custodians of the Funlimited brand. At the insistence of J-Ket, Eddie's recorded a chat with his dad. They cover topics such as growing up in the sixties, music and life in lockdown. We’re behaving ourselves with this spin-off. We’re clipping our wings, being conservative with our indulgence and being liberal with our restraint. Keep your eyes peeled for new episodes, along with the ever-evering

Day 2 within Day 51. It is three nights ago*. Day 48. The hour for hitting hay impends. With civic opinion of Bassett at base-level, he is aerobically hampered. I bid Pfidze to slink from her room pre-cockcrow and proceed cattily† to the raven cage - Bassett‘s in a no-flutter funk and his plumage must know the wind. Pfidze overcomes her adiposity and deftly abides. She untethers Bassett. He soars freeward. He encircles. He LIVES. It is two nights ago. Avian discharge is found in the trifle. How was

1978 – Betamax vs. VHS is in full swing. Pa places his chips on the former. This is promptly verified as unwise. Early 1980s – Flux and financial disarray. As his company transitions to VHS, Pa is fiscally compelled to relocate to a lesser domicile. Late 1980s/Early 1990s – Yours truly secures a senior position at KetMax Tapes through sheer dedication and donkeywork and if you think nepotism constituted any slice of that pie, you don’t know nothing about nothing. 2002 – Pa expires.

Time seesaws in and out of focus. I am as an inebriate or a sober man with impaired vision. I am become articulate in the diameters of my pint-sized dominion. In an act of compassion or (likelier) manifest disquietude*, one of the detainees proffered a tape measure to subsidise my efforts. But, as I told Mrs. Absolam, such accoutrement of augmentation would be cheating. What did humanfolk do pre-Industrial Revolution? They quantified with thumbs and speculation. Yes, my fraternity, sorority and

How goes it? You can’t/won’t answer. So let me punt a sit-rep your way. Sentience at the Hope High Castle is grimly benign. Virulent penetration is an implausibility. One hesitates to grumble but one displays awesome agility in vaulting to defend its inevitability, in doing so spawning the image of a human centipede of self, translucent wraiths evacuating and transmogrifying into meaty opacity, assembling an altogether British continuum of caveats, a crescendoing choir of flustered apology.

Aloha from the citadel. Pfidze has satisfactorily recuperated, you'll be perhaps pleased to heed. Her infirmity has confined her to the Hope High Castle* hostel just off the Billham junction. As such, I have demonstrated pinnacle virtue in acquiescing and uprooting Funlimited Entertainment's base of operations. I have moored the FunlEnt ganglion in a prudently sequestered sector of the dining room. It's so-so. My "desk" is parked adjacent to shelves of needlework manuals and unfamiliar board games

I've lived by the skin of my wits longer than any so-called "specialist" would hold healthy. And sill I sting.Our fragile frames have forever clung to the crag of the pre-apocalypse.

If the content of this blurb appears substandard or atypically abridged, the blame falls squarely on Pfidze's recumbent shoulders. LAZY. She has ever-so-graciously condescended to do her job this week and upload as commanded from the comfort of her hostel*. The question radiates: Do I terminate her? Feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments or via mail. I'd print a poll but it would surely be too hefty a charge for Little Miss Dainty. INCOMPETENT! Here's Episode 15.

Howdy. Issued for your indifference (no use prevaricating, is there?) is an ostensible Part 2 and definitive Number 2. If you've been following Funlimited Entertainment religiously*, you may observe that there is little-to-no thematic overlap with Part 1; the podcast was simply cyber-taped in one "über-sesh", as my children assure me is generationally relevant. Those mischievous little chimps at the Funfiltered factory are master mechanic-saboteurs, throwing as they do spanner after spanner† into

Joyeux Noël, my Funlimentalists.I know, I am not a guileless boob. The precariousness of this fandom moniker has been flagged within my own mind. But it was there and it would be dishonest not to grab it, if only to instantly fling it fro like the political grenade it is. I just wanted you to know what COULD have been and that I had the savvy to present it and then neglect it. I've decided to call you FLIMS instead.But I digress.Let the joie de vivre (and that's quite enough French) of the season
