Another day absolutely packed full of celebrity birthdays, but most importantly, the great Terry Gilliam is 85 today!

Found a lovely new stout brewed in County Kildare. "Midnight Espresso & Dark Chocolate. Intense & Complex". It's absolutely delicious 😋

I have just heard an advert for Amazon Black Friday WEEK. How in God's name are small businesses meant to compete with this crap? Will you all do me a favour and support a small business today. Share the love. #SLATED #Boycottamazon Slated.ie

My favourite welsh actress, Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Peaky Blinders, Detectorists, Slow Horses) is 38 today!

Reminder that GARGOYLES is best thing Disney ever produced...

RIP Gary "Mani" Mounfield. Bassist for the Stone Roses and later Primal Scream. The bassline to "I Wanna Be Adored" is simply exquisite. Far too young at 63.

I just realised I can cash in my pension from a shitty job I had 20 years ago, because I'm now 50 (and working in a job with a much better pension). It's not like a lottery win, but it's not peanuts either. Steam Machine... I'm looking at you 👀 store.steampowered.com/sale/steamma...

Lazenby's Bond literally CONFIRMED that both the name and the codename were transferred when an agent retired (or WAS retired). Yes it was a throwaway joke at the time, but a way out for writers was still put in place. Plus, considering the amount of references to this same movie in NTDD, well... 🤔

Albert Maignan's Green Muse (1895): a poet succumbs to the Green Fairy ie. Absinthe While sometimes casually referred to as a liqueur, absinthe was traditionally bottled at a high level of alcohol and contained the hallucinogen chemical compound thujone in trace amounts, leading to it's banning.

Finally had a procedure today to remove these damn nasal polyps that have haunted me for 10 years. My nose is a bloody mess (and certainly going to hurt tomorrow), but I've been given painkillers and 2 weeks off work to recover, so lots of coffee and movies! Should be breathing properly again too 👍

Millions of American people voted for a pedophile. Make sure they are reminded of this daily for the rest of their lives.

Take a moment to think about what REALLY matters.
