Literally just finished watching the Letterkenny season 12 season finale and let me tell you;
This show y’all.
It got me through some of the hardest parts of my life. It gave me laughter like I’ve never known. It gave me hope and joy to know I could find good people in this world still. Knowing it doesn’t matter if people don’t like you; those who love you will never let you down.
That sometimes you need to get your ass kicked to learn your lesson. To talk shit to people who can’t even comprehend your levels. To always stand up and FIGHT for what’s right.
To be a GOOD man, treat your ladies right, do right by your community, and never forget;
When a friend asks for help? You help em’.
Thank you Letterkenny. You gave us over 10 years ago your problems on the internet, and now your stories have touched millions around the world on being Human through your sheer perseverance of raw talent, professionalism, and standards.
I am so greatful to say that I’ve wholeheartedly enjoyed getting to know these characters.
This show is unmatched, and there will never be one like it.
It gave us Shorsey. It gave us Wayne. True Alpha Males leading by example, because;
“You gotta set the tone.”
Thank you to Jared Keeso, Jacob Tierney, Michelle Mylett, And literally, COUNTLESS others who brought this show and town to life.
i love how in letterkenny there are only like a dozen people in this town. jonesy has no friends anymore because his one friend is dating katy and the hockey season is apparently over so the poor guy is reduced to hanging out with glen the weird gay preacher and stewart’s gang of emo meth heads but those two hate each other and jonesy doesn’t even have a car… poor guy
Cher(e)s voyageur(e)s,
Aujourd’hui, nous nous retrouvons pour un rendez-vous un peu particulier. Je ne vais pas vous parler de livre, ni de littérature mais plutôt de découverte sur le web que je voudrais partager avec vous. Ce rendez-vous a été créé par Aurélia de Ma Lecturothèque.

'This is a different ball game': Trump vows to pardon Jan 6th Defendants if elected
Katy Tur spoke with NBC News Correspondent, Vaughn Hillyard and NBC News Justice Reporter, Ryan Reilly about Trump's recent declaration that he will pardon January 6th defendants if elected.
This is the fourth in our occasional series featuring luminaries of stage and screen with a strong personal and/or professional connection with Northeast England, inspired with thanks by @robbielewis. Previous profiles were of Jean Heywood, John Nightingale and Edward Wilson. This time, Sunderland born actor siblings Malcolm and Catherine Terris.
Malcolm Terris was born on January 11th, 1941, boarded at Barnard Castle School in County Durham, then worked as a cadet journalist at the Sunderland Echo before training as an actor.
He was active on British television from 1963, his style perfectly suited to larger than life characters, and is possibly best remembered for his role as Great War veteran and salt-of the-earth union leader, Matt Headley, in 34 episodes of the Tyneside interwar social-realism drama, When the Boat Comes In.
As Matt Headley, with James Bolam (Jack Ford) in When the Boat Comes In.
His more than 120 recorded screen credits include a variety of British television programmes, including Fall of Eagles, Doctor Who (Horns of Nimon, 1979), Reilly: Ace of Spies, three separate roles in Coronation Street, Our Friends in the North, The Bill, and a regular role in Rockliffe’s Babies. His final appearance was in Midsomer Murders in 2011.
His big screen appearances include as ship’s surgeon, with Anthony Hopkins as Bligh and Mel Gibson as Fletcher Christian, in The Bounty (1984), with Ricky Tomlinson in Mike Bassett: England Manager, and in Dickie Attenborough’s Chaplin, which starred Robert Downey Jnr in the title role. He has also appeared on stage including in productions of Othello and in a Broadway production of Hamlet.
He passed away at the artistes residential care home, Denville Hall, on June 6th, 2020, aged 79.
Catherine Terris was born in 1948, and trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). She has been active in British television since 1972, appearing with her brother in seven episodes of When the Boat Comes In. Her other television work includes Z Cars, two roles in Coronation Street, Anna Karenina, Inspector Morse, Dalziel and Pascoe, Heartbeat, George Gently, and a regular role (15 episodes) in William and Mary with Martin Clunes and Julie Graham. She also appeared in the hugely successful feature film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
According to her page on the Coronation Street fan site, Corriepedia:
"...On stage she has appeared in productions of Faustus, A Rite Kwik Metal Tata, Andy Capp, Tight at the Back, Rose, Tom Jones, Billy Liar, Queuing for Everest and Into the Blue..."
Her most recent television screen credit is In the Club (BBC 2014-16) and latest big screen appearance was in the 2021 feature film, Martyrs Lane.
On stage with Sarah Gordy MBE (The A Word, Ralph and Katie) in the 2016 Arcola Theatre production of Into the Blue, written by Beverley Hancock and directed by Deborah Paige. Image from Sarah Gordy's official site.
why did my friend send me this i thought we were past chain mail
" Hi can u put your name in it and send it to 10 different people We’re trying to make the longest iMessage for the 2021 Guinness World Records. Put your name below (copy it) and send it to 10 people, Don’t be th e one to break the chain
I totally forgot I’d started making this last year! I think I never posted it because I wanted to find more names, but there’s already a decent amount and I don’t feel like being that tedious about names right now lol.
It’s first & last names (separated for mix & match potential) of characters from iconic late 1970s & 1980s horror movies. I think I started looking for cheesier B-movies to pull from, but yeah it’s been a whole year so I forget.

You’re staying with Wayne and Katy until you can move into your new apartment. You’re saying yes to new opportunities, which brings you on some strange dates. Eventual Wayne x reader - Part 1 of 4
You were talking about dates with your pals the other day…
“Sos I takes it that yours date didn’t goes well yesterday,” Squirrelly Dan asked. You sighed heavily from your lawn chair in front of the produce stand. Wayne, Katie, Darry, and Squirrelly Dan were all in their usual spots. You had pulled up a chair behind Katie and next to Wayne. The two had been nice enough to lend you their guest room for two weeks while you waited to be able to move into your new apartment. You had planned to spend it on a cruise but that had fallen through at the last minute, leaving you with nowhere to stay and nothing to do.
“Well, I’d say so,” Darry answered, even though the question was directed at you. “She’s sitting here with us and not sleeping off a wild night out. Plus, you know, the guy she went with.”
“Don’t you mean guys?” Wayne was teasing but it stung a little. You had always had a soft spot for Wayne. Hell, it was a super soft spot but you had given up on that long ago. After all, girls like Bonnie McMurray couldn’t get a date with him so how could you expect to?
“It went okay at first, thanks to Katy,” You finally got to answer. The girl grinned at you. The night before had turned into a double date when your date, Jonsey, had shown up with Reilly. Katy was already dressed and ready to tap in, having seen this one coming. She had some experience with Pete and Repeat. “He was nice enough. Opened the door for me, took us to a nice enough restaurant, but then…”
“Then?” Darry asked after you trailed off. You felt Wayne’s eyes on you and your cheeks flushed red. “Did he not drop the hockey talk? Would you like to snuggle, wheel, snipe, or celly?”
“Dirty fucking dangles, my lady.” Dan continued.
“How about a good night kiss ferda boys, yeah?” Wayne finished. Katy laughed and you couldn’t help but join in. They had, in fact, not dropped the hockey talk.
“Now, I can speak Puck Bunny just fine, I’ll have you know. But I might have revealed a small insignificant detail about myself that they just couldn’t let go.”
“I wouldn’t call it insignificant,” Katy scoffed. “You’re Canadian and you’ve never been ice skating. You can’t skate. I thought it was a requirement for citizenship.”
Three heads whipped around in your direction. If possible, your face turned even redder. So you couldn’t ice skate. You could do a lot of other things. They could have offered to teach you to ice skate but no, they spent the rest of the night in shock. You thought you were going to have to drive their jeep home.
“How the fuck did you grow up in Canada and never ice skate?” You shrugged at Wayne’s question. “I mean, they should have let it fucking go but I can see where they’d lose their footing. Not exactly the brightest of fellas there.”
“If they were crayons, they’d be gray.”
“If theys were light bulbs, they’d be burnt out.”
“How many licks to get to the center of that Tootsies Pop? Don’t fucking bother. There’s nothing there,” Wayne finished. A silence fell without the group and Darry started passing beers out from the cooler. “You know, I can teach you how to sometime. Skate, I mean. If you want. So this doesn’t happen again.”
“She’s gotta say yes,” Katy answered before you could stumble out a reply. You knew Wayne was doing you a favor and not asking you out but it sounded close enough to leave you tongue-tied. “Since she’s not saying no this week.”
“To new opportunities. Like I was supposed to on my trip. I’m just stuck doing it here. In Letterkenny. No degens though.” As Katy started to speak, you silenced her with a finger. “He just got out of rehab. So it’s different.”
“Out of rehab?”
“Yous don’t means?”
“No fucking way.”
You sighed deeply and shrugged, sneaking a quick glance at Wayne’s face. As usual, you couldn’t see anything.
