Strong Nazi vibes here from fascist Amerika.

Wait. There *is* a Christmas song worse than 'Mistletoe & Wine'. It's José Feliciano's version of 'Feliz Navidad' with that horrible child screeching along. 🤮

Ah, the tipping point between 'falling over' and 'having a fall'.

Merry Christmas Hooklanders. I will raise a glass to all those no longer with us.

So, the Gatiss adaptation of 'The Room in the Tower' was actually quite good.

Some great festive news. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Another great @nunkie.bsky.social performance tonight. Merry Christmas, Robert!

Merry Christmas from my friend's gorgeous ginger tom.

Yes, this...

"Is he doing a wee or a poo?" #InBruges

"Two manky hookers and a fascist dwarf."

Also, props to Colin's eyebrows.

Now time for 'In Bruges'. It's in Belgium, apparently.

Weather app saying 'Unpleasant cold gusts today.' Ain't that the truth?

"I'm going to kill ya, cook ya, and eat ya!" #DieHard

Was feeling a bit down, but 'Die Hard' is really putting me in a festive mood. 'In Bruges' later.

Festive felicitations to everyone kind enough to follow my strange ramblings. Best wishes to you all.

This is definitely one for @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social .

Christmas Eve. Way back in the 80s, our circle of friends came back from uni and met at a local pub. Rammed, so we sat in the porch. One friend had grown a beard with long hair in a ponytail. Bunch of braindead Bromley yoof came in and were all "Oh, look, it's Jesus." 1/2

Lovely #Sainsbury's delivery guy, Ollie, today. When I last saw him he remembered that I'd broken my elbow in February and asked me how I was. Hope he and his family have a wonderful Christmas.

Tsathoggua? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsathog...

Time for 'Die Hard'. It's not Christmas until Hans Gruber...

Catching up with #BBCFour's ghost story night from yesterday. The modern Gatiss adaptations are decent enough, but the original 'Oh, Whistle...' is the pure quill. @nunkie.bsky.social @pisci.bsky.social

Also, 50-y-o? I'm about a decade older than him and think I look better than that rancid POS.

The gift of love this Christmas. 😬 www.independent.co.uk/life-style/h...

Genuinely think that this might have happened.

'Comedian' is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The twat was never funny.

Just been blocked by someone who, I'm guessing, didn't like me calling the royals fascist and paedo friendly.

Until the battery in your smart cockring overheats and burns your todger off.

Strange how the royal family have always had an attraction to sexual predators and fascists, isn't it? #AbolishTheMonarchy www.thenational.scot/news/2572032...

Only a matter of time before someone markets a smart cockring.

Great afternoon @threehoundsbeer.bsky.social today. Good beer, good banter. Merry Christmas all!

Ah, so sad. 😔

Paging @actualnames.bsky.social ...

Walking down to the station. Just seen a red kite, being harassed by a single crow.

Well, getting the feeling that 2026 might be a pivotal year in history. Where do we choose to go? Onto a more optimistic future or down into the bowels of hell?

Sorry to sound like a boring old fart, but every song in this compilation pisses all over so-called modern pop. Fight me!

So, we don't have a Christmas tree... erected, but mum and I will still have a good Christmas.

I've been lucky to work with some lovely coders (almost always 'mature'), but there's a minority of immature kiddies who deserve a punch in the face.

Obviously only a few, but I think that arrogant coders are responsible for a lot of damage in the modern world.

As a technical author of twenty-five years, I have to say that some software developers really piss me off.

Okay, the 70s/80s were crap, but I'm missing that anti-establishment energy in pop culture. Where does the (mainstream) fight-back begin? I know it's bubbling under.

Deep.

Phwoar.

Oh, hang on dads, it's Legs & Co. in their nightwear. #TOTP

The Smurf Song is still better than any shit that Oasis recorded. #TOTP

Ah, #BrotherhoodOfMan, the very, very, very poor man's #ABBA. #TOTP

Well, this year has been a steaming pile of shit in all respects, but it still has the potential to get worse. Even so, I'm going to go roaring into 2026, whatever happens.

Ah, just heard that a great beery friend and all-round good bloke has died. #RIPBurnleyDave. 🍻

Lots of people already having friction with their families this festive season, and I'm just glad that my family think that I'm utterly beyond redemption and have largely left me alone. Thank goodness for my strange friends; you're my family, you fucked-up weirdos. 😜
