Just watched a pair of Wallace and Gromits and frankly the model railway chase at the end of The Wrong Trousers might be one of the acmes of Western civlisation. So there.

Been out to Hickorys Gloucester for my unbirthday family lunch and delicious BBQ has occurred.

Gad but the McNee/Rigg Avengers episodes are such top fun.

I was given a tin of Taylor's Imperial Gunpowder Tea as part of my Ianmas haul yesterday and have made myself a pot thereof, and even with milk, it's fine, like black tea but muddier?

Keep having to remind myself that today's Saturday.

Found a bookstore that stocks your novels

Right, watching the official Rocky Horror documentary on NowTV for compare and contrast - so far Richard O; Brien and Chrissy Shrimpton as talking heads so I doubt it'll have the rougher/rawer edges of its unofficial counterpart but interesting nonetheless.

Back home after a lovely few days before gallivanting off for New Year with friends. Thus lunch and The Avengers series 4 Blu-ray it is then.

Anyway, there was Chapel Down English Brut sparkling wine with supper and now watching One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing with a mug of tea.

A few pics from today's birthday adventures and loot.

Full of Ianmas lunch with Chablis and a spot of pudding wine. Now perhaps another present and then a cup of tea and drifting off in front of The Italian Job.

Hope everyone's had a fantabulous day. I must now to bed as I have presents in the morning.

Just watched the 1975 Morecambe & Wise special and I know it comes around all the time but god it's so funny.

Can of Westerham Brewery Fortnum & Mason label triple chocolate stout with supper was really rather delicious.

Back at the parents after Turkey dinner number two at my brothers, now sat in front of Carry on Cleo on ITV3 with a cup of tea #winning

‘You boy! Can I start on the cans yet?’

Anyway a good night and merry Christmas to all our viewers and subscribers. ❤️

Watching Singin' in the Rain again for the umpteenth time and gad it's just wonderful.

Kings College choir are a bit bloody good aren't they?

Was out this morning with the parents doing visiting and coffee and it's a bit chilly out there isn't it? Now home, lunched and watching Wallace & Gromit on the telly box ahead of Kings on the wireless

@kizzythesecond.bsky.social Happy birthday you. Hope you have a day as splendid as you are x.

First roast turkey meal of the week consumed, absolutely delicious and the Georges Duboeuf Fleury slipped down with no pain at all.

Not entirely convinced this pub quiz format is really working for Only Connect.

Home with the parents, cup of tea and chocolate biscuits on the go and watching the Yes Minister Chris special on the iPlayer. Happy holidays gang 🎄❤️

"Hot fuzz Geoffrey? Well you should more careful with your soup course then."

Bloody hell that was fabulous #Messiah #radio3

Gad but Handel's Hallelujah chorus is just a man at the peak of his composing powers, one of about three points in British cultural history in which the word 'iconic' could be used without shame.

That Handel knew how to knock out a banger or 2 huh.

Right, Messiah time on Radio 3, from St Martin in The Fields - Sarah Connolly, Montiverdi choir and that sort of proper wireless Christmas goodness.

Best Christmas special ever

Wrapping done and all 3 presents look like they were actually wrapped by someone with the gift of sight and thumbs this year.

Spooner's career as a continuity announcer was short-lived

Watching the majestic nonsense that is Guy Ritchie's King Arthur, a picture that is not only ahistorical but probably b through to fhistorical as well. Never mind Fury Road, I desperately want to read an oral history about what everyone involved thought they were getting in terms of end product.

Having a bit of the Ipcress File movie for festive cheer :)

Just watched the AEW Blood and Guts matches and unlike last year's offering, didn't completely loathe them. Some fun stuff and a cracking ending vs a lot of stuff that was bad, but I think in way reflective of wrestling as a whole nowadays not just AEW, and I know 1990s Wargames matches are gone.

Hopefully not at the same time.

"John Dryden? No, he's in the bath so John Stillwet."

"But Geoffrey, if you've got the mic and I've got the mosh pit, then who's got the copy of the Fallen Madonna with the big boobies?"

Watching the Long Good Friday and Bob Hoskins is just pitch perfect obviously. Also you can also improve the picture by imagining that Helen Mirren's character is here is the daughter/grandaughter of her character from Gosford Park.

I've just been out for a splendid curry and beer,but most importantly my master plan has paid off because I'm home in time to watch a movie over a nice cup of tea. (Yes I shall be 44 next Friday, what of it?

So my new book adventure is The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Tóibín, my first novel by him. So that's exciting isn't it?

One of the greatest TV jokes of all time. youtu.be/XFhpctuUwb4?...

Couldn't decide on owt else to watch so Empire Strikes Back again it is. Incidentally, if you've not seen it the latest QI XL episode on the Iplayer is very funny indeed, also nice to see Patrick Kielty is still alive.

All done with work for the year, presents all bought and now sat down with a nice cup of tea so festive harrumbles all round.

Mince pie nail!! I wish I’d done them all like this tbh

Must be nice to just be able to have Ivor Novello tickle your ivories of an evening at a whim.

I read on wiki that Jude Law was initially to have had Ryan Phillipe's role in Gosford Park and I just can't see it working in the same way, RP does it so well.
