My congratulations to B. A. Baracus for successfully defending his dissertation!

A campaign to make it illegal to have seasons 1 & 2 of a TV drama on different streaming services - who's in 😠🪧

I like the label on this one #wine

Last night's games. A first play of Age of Rail South Africa, which I loved, where you're buying shares in growing railroad companies, and the little brain burner Paris la Cité de la Lumière #boardgames

Beautiful day today in Leeds

David Morrissey is brilliant in Gone. Recommend if you're looking for a crime drama.

Airecon in Harrogate this weekend, always one of the absolute highlights of the year. Crokinole, Atiwa, Sky Team, Whitehall Mystery among some of my favourites we played this year #boardgames #airecon

A pleasing looking matcha at the Bowery in Headingley 🍵🌱

Had a nice Sunday afternoon game of Cascadia yesterday with my daughter. Each turn you're adding a land tile and animal token to your map, trying to make big areas of the same landscapes while also scoring the different criteria for the animals #boardgames

Hedy Lamarr, Austrian born Hollywood actress, was also a designer/inventor who created aviation designs for Howard Hughes and co-patented a “secret communication system” - the basis for modern WiFi #WomensArt #WomensHistoryMonth

"The 15-man khashoggi hit squad were flown to Turkey and back in a private plane, by the way later used by Newcastle United for warm weather training trips" If Romano usually charges €1k per social media post, wonder what he got for his Saudi PR sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/here-we-go...

"Thanks so much for having me over for dinner. What are we having?" "I've made pork stew with on-the-turn milk"

First play of Magical Athlete and it was very funny. Like mario kart fuelled by dice. A quick and daft family game that just works. Would be brilliant with young kids #boardgames

Tonight's wine is a new one for me, refosco. Trying with pasta🍷

listen to the Trumpian way that Farage tries to silence my tenacious colleague @annasophiegross.bsky.social (who was politely asking a reasonable question)

This was a really good read. True crime like a page-turning novel about a serial killer in gloomy post-war London: bombed-out buildings and backstreet pubs, boarding houses and all-night cafes, horrendous misogyny and racism. Tells the women's stories and how they ended up there. Recommended.

Tonight's gaming to round off the weekend: Wingspan Americas and Pan Am 🐦✈️🌐 #boardgames

Tonight's film was the brilliant Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Yeah but he would say that wouldn't he

Today's beer's a good one. Nice bonus it's a social enterprise that employs prisoners/ex prisoners 🍺

Which role would you most like to be remembered for? "...Mother, of my children. His wife." www.tmz.com/watch/cather...

"Zoe Hamburger made managing director of McDonald's Netherlands" @actualnames.bsky.social

Sunday afternoon, a beer and the footy

Had a nice time with tonight's games #boardgames

"Bad taste or a new way to educate?" BBC article about a new board game about the Troubles. Raises the debate about should some topics be off limits? Or is it how you do it that matters? Do the same rules apply for games as for films and other art? #boardgames www.bbc.com/news/article...

Dorgu quietly becoming an important player too #mufc ⚽

Gove on the radio just now saying he likes Rob personally and that Reform has gained a "talent". He didn't say what that talent is

I love his paintings

Tonight's gaming: brewing potions in Germany and trading goods in Meiji era Japan, as you do #boardgames

My mate's sidled up with a rare show of affection on the sofa #cats

Queuing up for my bread in the winter sun this morning 🍞🥖

Played an old classic tonight. Seems tricky for the team of detectives #boardgames

Nice label. Wingspan style #wine #boardgames

Boxing Day kickabout ⚽

Eaten the turkey, played a couple of games, now Home Alone 2 🎁

The problem with this joke is it's a bicycle not an bicycle. (God I'm boring) ❄️

Some family Dixit #boardgames

Maybe the best of a...mixed lot from the cracker jokes 🎄

Our oven's down this Christmas so there's a lot of rotating and squeezing in and cooktime guesswork going on with the air fryer 🍗🌲

Gonna try an Italian wine with the turkey 🍗

Happy Christmas 🌲

Provided this dip as part of a buffet/spread/bite to eat we've hosted a couple of times in recent days and it's been left untouched each time so far. Unsure whether to try it 🐟🌲

Playing a bit of Just One. Do you know the answer with these three clues?

A fine hot chocolate at the bowery in Headingley ☕

In our house: That's sad, Chris Rea's died. Oh no, that is really sad. Lady in Red?

Ironic, when it was decades of drip-feeding fake news about another fruit, the bendy banana, that helped the con-artists get their Brexit in the first place 🍌🍊

This weekend: ✔️ Had a buffet ✔️ Saw Home Alone at the cinema ✔️ Ate Roses on the sofa ✔️ Had wine ✔️ Went for a short walk Festive period officially started 🌲

Some good family quizzing tonight #boardgames

Interesting read on how much bands make from streaming

This sounds like the start of a GCSE maths question
