Watching “Excalibur” for the 100th time. The scenes with Percival receiving the grail, Arthur rejuvenated by drinking the blood, Kay calling to ready for battle and the Knights riding out and the land being reborn as Orff blasts away all happen within 4 minutes. That’s some compact movie making.

The fundraiser this year brought in £181/ $244/€208 for Acting for others. Thank you to everyone who chipped in. We have never tied the event to a charity before and are very happy to have been able to do something in Vince’s memory.

Guys I don’t want to jinx it but I think they got “Fortunate Son”!

Went to maybe to worse record store I’ve been to in over a decade today. What I thought was the dollar bins because it was Belafonte and King and I soundtracks type stuff was racks of empty sleeves priced at $3.

The Stranglers “No More Heroes” is a Boxing Day song.

A big thank you to everyone who participated this year and made #Vinylsanta a success and a big thank you to everyone that made a donation to the fundraiser in honor of Vince actingforothers.enthuse.com/pf/vincewill... the fundraiser is still open and any donation is appreciated. 1/2

Jesus this last season of Stranger Things is fucking dogshit.

I may be the only person in the world with a button-down shirt custom printed with the lyrics to “I’d Rather Jack.” Thank you Mrs. P! Merry Christmas!

Things really blew up for her after she was in that episode of “Sharpe”

Tastes like Citrus DayQuil (complimentary) per the eldest.

This year we wanted to have a charitable fundraising element to #Vinylsanta . We picked a charity that supports actors in memory of frequent #Vinylsanta and #Weekendsingles participant @golfyfun.bsky.social who passed away this year. If you have the means please consider making a donation.

#VinylSanta opened. I appreciate the effort and will give everything a chance except the Tucky Buzzard, looks far too blues rocky for me. First on deck with be the Wayne Newton! Came with a nice letter on how selection was made too, so again thank you very much to my sender.

The audio on this feature is very evocative of Bermange and Derbyshire’s “The Dreams”. The tempo and cadence of the speech, the Christmas sounds weaving in and out… youtu.be/C3dUDE8OkTU?...

Would kill a horse twice to eat just a slice.

Stopped at one. Very dangerous stuff, not the usual high voltage Xmas beer that tastes like an IPA blended with pinesol and grain alcohol. This was sweet and no burn at the top of the ears. If you get the chance try it but ask for a small pour.

You’ve got to fight for what you want For all that you believe Well I believe in Santa Claus He comes on Christmas Eve.

Times up, Fourtyfour has been filtered. I added a lemon, 44 coffee beans and 44 cubes of sugar to 44oz of Brandy and let it sit for 44 days. Definitely looks more caramel colored now. Will taste test after the days work is done and report back.

What model bass is Entwistle playing here?

For the most part it seems the postal service has been doing a great job of getting VS packages to their destinations and we would just like to thank the posties who are making #VinylSanta happen again this year. Delivering mail not an easy gig, especially in December! youtu.be/C2iuiCMFUFk?...

So late getting it together this year. Life keeps happening. Anyways after aging the fruit 2 months plus the baking begins today. Not sure if should make the cake or seal the driveway

Late to #TheFootball but they should call them Varsenal after today. Is it too soon for an #ArtetaOut ?

If you are a past or present #VinylSanta participant and have the means please consider making a donation. The charity helps out theatrical actors in need of support.

It's our 10th #VinylSanta and we wanted to include a charity option.

And one of the best band photos ever taken on the back of the sleeve.

Work virtual Christmas party ended with a seasonal message, they brought on some Holy Roller to give a meaning of the season bit, fair enough, dude was a full on evangelical Holy Joe and went for it, the whole fucking thing was a less than subtle Altar call. This was all I could thing of.

Falling down a flight of icy back porch steps when you are in your fifties hits different.

Nice to see so many photos of #VinylSanta packages arriving! A special nod to those of you who put them straight under the tree. 🎄 Please keep them coming. We (and your senders) appreciate seeing them in situ. 🎅
