That alarm is still going off. I believe it's coming from the abandoned cinema up the road, so it may be beating for some time.

Some rude road names. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdlJ...

And a good morning to everyone reading the “later life” section of Brigitte Bardot’s wikipedia page for the first time

With the death of Bardot we're down to the last three of Billy Joel Roulette. Chubby Checker Bob Dylan Bernie Goetz Will someone try and rob Goetz of the title? Will there be an entertaining twist? The answer, my friends, is anyone could win, The answer is anyone could win.

There's a high pitched alarm blaring constantly from a building over the road. Not going to get much sleep, then!

In a pub again, in case that friend shows. It seems to be twat central in here tonight.

OK, so here's the full "bowdie yells at Biggins" story. Many years ago... I reckon 2005 - Mrs bowdie wanted to visit the Newent Birds of Prey center, the other side of Gloucestershire from us. So we jumped in the car and I drove us there. 1/?

It's not "alienating rural people" I grew up living in the countryside, and I didn't know a single person who didn't hate these cunts with an absolute fierry passion.

Another disappointing start to the day

In a pub - someone I know may be in tonight if she's back from seeing the family yesterday. No sign of he yet.

My great gran, born in 1908, saw Rod Stewart singing on The Old Grey Whistle Test in the early 70s and said afterwards, “if he was hung for singing, he’d die innocent”

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

It's Daft Punk's dad's! #totp

It's very Radio 2 this episode, isn't it? #totp

All this bollocks about punk killing off prog from your music journalists. In fact it was after punk that prog acts started to have hit singles. #totp

The TOTP Orchestra butchering yet another song! Those drums! #totp

Ken! #totp

I preferred "Sealed With A Fish" #totp www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd9G...

Throughout the land, people are currently shouting out the phrase "You're brother's a sweaty nonce!".

I stepped into Christmas once. Trod it all round the house.

Just tried to open a can for the first drink of the day, and the ring-pull has broken off!

Bravo

Don't forget to start the ball rolling early with any right-wing family members this morning by greeting them with 'HAPPY MIDDLE-EASTERN REFUGEE DAY'

Merry Christmas you lot!

Happy Irrational Nonsense Day for those who support it. Commiserations for the rest who have to endure this bollocks every year.

I'll be giving New Years Eve a miss - it'll be even worse. Unless someone I know is back in town by then.

Just had a thought - Bar Doof-Doof is going to be open until 4am. Which means I'm likely to be kept awake by a fight.

The table in front of me has five lads drinking Guinness. That will have caused serious delays at the bar. They're rugger-buggers, of course!

That'll be the sprouts! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I head to the bar for a second pint, and some twonk has taken my chair.

I didn't get to see the Gavin & Stacey thing last year, so taking a brief look at it now. It's unfunny rubbish, isn't it? Won't watch any more, as I've got to check on a building which means heading through a town centre full of drunken pricks.

Ep 73. Make Christmas Great Again. Gareth @justplayed.bsky.social gets to grip with the new releases. We pick our year-end favourites. News, readers letters, a festive quiz and a heap of crate digging nonsense. pod.link/1456163688 Support the show ko-fi.com/webuyrecords

Just submitted by Derby Dead Pool team, and I've already realised that there's someone important that I've forgotten to include. Just hope they make it until next year or peg it within the next 7 days.

Do I bother to head to a pub tonight? Town will be full of amateur drinkers, and people who've never been here before, as they're staying with their in-laws for the first time.

This is literally the best WW2 non-combat aviation story I have ever read. Knocks Biggles into a cocked hat.

Birmingham Bullring wishes all its patrons a very Merry Aptio Setup Utility and a Happy New BIOS Information ✨

They don’t even look like this any more but I don’t care I’m reposting it again 9 years on

I wouldn't trust an IT department that didn't hate computers

Sainsbury's wasn't as hellish than I expected, other than a few people standing in the way when trying to leave the place. I popped into Home Bargains afterwards - now that was awful. Particularly the pillock in from of me who didn't put his items down on the conveyor until the last possible moment.

Although this is the first year they'll actively be trying to shoot him down.

FFS! My mother wants me to head up to Sainsbury's this afternoon to pick up some groceries - despite the fact that the fridge is full! She does this every year.

Proper lol at this

Shout out to the parent who thought the best way to keep their kid entertained on the train was to bring along a xylophone

I think when we all wake up tomorrow things will be a lot different.

Look tRump was on the Epstein jet. A fucking lot!

RIP Chris Rea, the Teesside Troubadour. My friend rang to tell me as I was driving on the A19 to Middlesbrough, which seemed strangely precient.

I've had a play with that V4 release of Unix from 1973 under SimH. It's fairly basic, running off a single 2.5MB RK05 disk pack on a PDP-11/45. I may be able to do more if I can find the installation notes - I came across them a few weeks ago on some website, but can't find them now.

The Royal Variety Show - essentially a series of plugs for terrible West End musicals.
