---

Yes, indeed, Sir David Attenborough, veteran of myriad brilliant nature programes, erstwhile Director of BBC 2 and national treasure (and cute as fuck when he was young) celebrates his 95th birthday today!

All Hail.

Here are a few of my favourite clips from a variety of his programmes over the decades. Fuck knows what we'll do when he's gone...

David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth - Silk Thread Trap

Jungle plants compete (David Attenborough's Private Life of Plants)

The Power of Knob

We're back from Brighton, after a whirlwind visit (a celebratory one, thank goodness - I got the job in the restructure in work!), suitably ruddy from the brilliant sunshine, to find we could have gone to another intriguing event today (as reported by the BBC):

More than 5,000 people are attending a "knob throwing" competition in Dorset.

Other events include a knob eating contest, knob darts, knob weighing, and knob painting.

The Dorset Knob Throwing and Food Festival event in Cattistock involves participants tossing the locally made, spherical biscuit as far as they can.

The winner receives their winning biscuit and a plaque, while their name is added to a board in the village hall.

Which news, of course, has reminded me that tomorrow marks the centenary of that legend of amatory prowess - Mr Tyrone Power.

Being the tasteful individual I am, I thought immediately of this slice of '90s kitsch by way of tribute...

Happy Sunday!
