Cunk spittin Christmas cheer

How I'm turning up to the Bluesky Christmas party

The out of office is on, and the first developed rolls in months are hot off the computer. Proceeding in a summerly direction with the Canon Demi to the new south harbour, where cruise passengers could take in the charred remnants of MV Solong’s cargo, fresh from its run-in with a jet fuel tanker.

A lot of pressure on the birthday boy

Chris Rea dying now is possibly even more on-the-nose than that time Castro died on Black Friday.

Christmas Wrapping is second only to Fairytale Of New York by The Pogues for me as far as christmas pop hits. When placed in conversation with one another they reveal daunting complexities, especially when you add in #3, Dominick The Donkey by Lou Monte.

Happy “just the grafters working this week, eh?” to everyone stuck at work until Christmas Eve because they ran out of hols 🙌

In Bruges? Great Christmas film

Scottish Christmas market idea: mulled buckfast.

Really great how I paid extra for tracked 24 hour delivery, so I can tell that the item has inexplicably spent the last two days in a Belfast sorting office. Can’t do anything with that information, but at least I can track it I guess?

That old stick about the Roman Empire, and how the actual sign of the collapse was a bridge falling down and nobody coming to fix it.

Victoriously crossing the finish line on the Christmas present shopping derby over a week early, for a nice treat, instead of hitting the gift card rack in Sainsbury’s on Christmas Eve as usual.

Spey Viaduct, 2019. Hope the washout overnight will eventually be repaired and the bridge reopened, but who knows when or if that’ll ever happen

Work christmas night out

[12hrs into my ice interrogation] agent: in 2021 you posted “they should call him matt hardcock am i right fellas” can you explain that? me: do you know who matt hancock is? a:… [43mins later] a: he had his own app? for parkour? me: no the parkour was a separate issue

She fell off! H caught it on camera. Tuesdays - they catch you unawares.

A 2025 Wrapped summary from my mortgage provider on this cold dark Friday evening

📈 Here's how much money Los Camp! make from streaming... On the occasion of #SpotifyWrapped, we thought now would be a good time to share some cold, hard stats about how much money our band makes from streaming royalties. 📖 tinyurl.com/LCwrapped

the coop this evening with possibly the most baffling musical choice i have ever experienced in a supermarket

Aberdeen producer Vagrant Real Estate releases Neither Collar Nor Crown on St Andrew's Day, bringing 25 Scottish artists across genres and generations together. Read our full piece on the ambitious album dropping this weekend. ⭕ New on POST postabdn.com/vagrant-real...

The financial services compensation scheme account limit suddenly being uplifted 50% for the first time in years feels like one of those things that was meant to be reassuring, but gives off massive Northern Rock implosion vibes.

Rediscovered Sleigh Bells today, I remember buying this album when it released in 2010, specifically because the NME reported that the sleeve notes stated something like ‘do not adjust your sound system, it’s meant to sound distorted’ youtu.be/nTWZtFgnUcc

Look how they massacred my boys 😭 #theboysarentbackintown

The global director just dropped into our call to announce some meaningless platitudes about teamwork and supporting customers

Such a noise out there today.

Yeah :D

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

What a great article. I was saying last night that Metal has always been pretty inclusive, it's a truly outsider genre. Just ignore that frat rock period that nearly destroyed it. It's always been a home for the disaffected, & accepting of people's differences.

Local firework displays are in full swing and upsetting my cat. He hates fireworks - not because of the noise - he just can't stand the thought of people enjoying themselves.

Great Southern Road is open again for the first time since maybe like February?

Went for an eye test this morning and it turns out I don’t actually need a new prescription, everything really does just look like that now.

Good haar this morning

Hang it in the Louvre

The real juice in The Traitors has always been that final moment

The royal society for the protection of birds scotland did not need to go this hard, and yet…

Had to leave work early and I’m just now hearing about a colleague who’s got themselves a fancy electric bike on the cycle to work scheme, and stacked it in the car park trying to show off on their way out the gate in front of loads of other colleagues. Going to plead for the CCTV footage tomorrow.

Ran 11k after work, but only because I set out to run 15k but got hungry and stopped to get a sandwich

28g (1oz) uranium contains ~20,000,000,000 kcal, making it an incredibly cost effective source of calories

Love how this reads like a LinkedIn post about the grindset mindset.

Caved in and updated to ios26, why does everything look like an android skin from a decade ago

So our class in the naval engineering school made up this rule where you couldn’t simply buy yourself a costume for the big Halloween sesh, but instead HAD to make one for someone else to wear.
