World's Strongest Man is on

Nothing says Christmas quite like little baby cheeses

Gah, I almost made it the whole year but I've been Northern Powerhouseagedoned.

Nights are getting longer, soon be Wimbledon

Blackadder's Christmas Carol. Ok, now it's Christmas

She'd light up a room whenever she walked in. Arsonist, basically

Sister in-law says her boiler has packed up. Three grand this close to Christmas. I said, that's not Ideal

Open wide for some footb... Oh

I know she wasn't active on here much, but @carolynd.bsky.social died unexpectedly and suddenly yesterday. If you do know anyone you think should/would want to know, please pass on the news and my sincerest condolences

Brian Moore pronouncing the Sou in Souness as in south. And his unalloyed glee at London clubs winning.

seeing as henry normal isn’t on bsky, here’s his poem for today

The apes from 2001 were just real horny.

See, he *can* write fiction

Today has been, officially, A Hell Of A Day. Gimme

Ray fucking Purchase.

If you’ve taken a photo of yourself from a depressed angle & it’s been ruined by condensation, you may be suffering from low selfie steam

If you're wanting to brutally crack down on student protests with massive loss of life, hurry. There are but 7 Xiaoping days until Christmas

Pub quizzes done for the year. January 8, we go again

Is Die Hard a Christmas film? Huddersfield Pharmacy has the answer in an unexpected tribute. Yippee-ki-yay mother's foot ointment.

To this day the music of Five Star is STILL regulated by Ofstedman

Lord Razzall implies the existence of Lord Penthaus and Lord Reeders-Wives

Two Ronnies Christmas spesh on BBC4. I think it's the one where they dress up as women and sing a funny song

Never change, Glasgow 😂 Inn Deep, Kelvinbridge if you fancy it 🥂 #Glasgow

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @sport.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

Satire

Arkell vs Pressdram him

It really was more of a Death Moon though wasn't it

Goes up to Xi. Goes up to 11.

Pleased to be able to confirm that the phone box from La Cabina is still in its original location in Madrid and that you can pay it a visit (though for some reason the door is locked)

Opening door number 15 of the Scarred For Life advent calendar, we find... a man trapped in a phone box. It's one of the greatest short horror films ever made (with an unforgettable ending): LA CABINA!

Remember, in this cold weather birds will be struggling for food. So don't put anything out on your feeder as it will only make them reliant on handouts.

Who gives a featured role in a movie to a guy with limited acting experience, English as a second language, a crippling health condition and a fondness for booze that makes Oliver Reed look teetotal? Rob Reiner did

A Ghost[ed] Story for Christmas 👻 💔 🎄 #aghoststoryforchristmas #mrjames #markgatiss #bbctwo

It gets lost in all of this nonsense every time, but it is worth pointing out that it's not illegal to use any toilet you like. Toilets aren't legally restricted places and never have been, for very obvious reasons. This whole thing is based on an absurd fiction about who can and can't go where.

Some random photos of Warrington RLFC playing at Wilderspool Stadium I found in an old collection. Not sure on the photographer, though a good chance it's Eddie Fuller.

Thanks to Dick Van Dyke, I was inspired to describe Karl Urban’s accent in The Boys as ‘Māori Poppins’.

The sacred text for anyone who doesn’t want children.

Some great lines in Going Straight. "He has a job he don't like but he's prepared to take the rough with the smooth" "French polisher is he?"

Visit mother. First words: "So who are you then?" I'm used to it now. Solidarity with anyone watching a loved one go through this. Alzheimer's sucks donkey cock.

As we hurtle towards Christmas, tis once again the season for exceptionally poor pubmanship. It's not that difficult ... • Know what you want before you get served • Order the Guinness first • Bring your empties back to the bar A pub is for life, not just for Christmas ... 🎄🎄🎄

It’s not necessary to keep highlighting the qualities of exceptional immigrants as a reason for them to be treated well by their governments. We don’t have to be on our best behaviour to receive a basic level of human decency: that‘s why they’re called “human rights”, and not “human privileges”.

The problem with the BBC being the nation’s finest engine for soft power, is that people have realised that they can easily exert hard, nasty, cruel power on it, and bend it out of shape. Empathy, curiosity and compassion shouldn’t be problematic qualities that need silencing. Seems they are now.

I have just managed to confuse Ian McKellen and Ian McCaskill. Good morning.

Stuck on Christmas present ideas? You could do a lot worse (well, slightly worse) than treat someone to both parts of the Gary and Buckle saga. Call them the wool Vladimir and Estragon, the Birko Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, the meff Narrator and Tyler Durden, but people seem to enjoy them.

At this stage, I'm starting to admire the determination with which our GPs will do anything for you apart from letting you actually see an actual doctor.

So it begins.
