On the escalator down to the Northern Line at KX yesterday there was someone stood on the left. Even if you don’t read any English, how do you get this wrong? It wasn’t like there wasn’t a fair number of other people around stood on the right.

What was with the last 40 minutes of Stranger Things?

Lewis needs to cut that out.

Dinner party 😴 #TheTraitors

Correct take

I’ve been here two weeks and I still don’t know which generic white dude is which… and one of them is me. Therefore I must be a faithful, otherwise I would have murdered some of you so I would feel less embarrassed at not knowing your names.

4% of Americans said they’d been decapitated.

First read I thought this seemed like a harsh description of the wildlife centre: I’m sure they’re doing their best.

The SkySports replays with the no-filled box zooming in are weird.

Unhinged

Being a Netflix production means the kids will start to learn the alphabet, but the series will be cancelled when they get to the letter N.

“Don’t forget to take your belongings with you before you leave the train.” is such a weird sentence.

Perth (Scotland) railway station has to hold some sort of record for the ratio of platforms to trains per hour (at least for stations with > 2 platforms).

I’m getting goo… not completely terrible at these: www.instagram.com/reel/DTTXUTK...

Not enjoying the @nngroupux.bsky.social new video branding with the frequent animations. Feel like with their undoubted expertise they should know some people will find this really annoying and difficult to watch. 😖

Amanda from The Traitors… not a great advert for the British police force.

Maybe I was spoiled by the Newcastle Leeds game yesterday, but Arsenal vs Liverpool has been diabolically bad.

I’m assuming Man City vs Brighton is on before Newcastle vs Leeds on MotD because they’re still trying to edit the highlights of the Newcastle game.

Football, bloody hell.

What on Earth are the Chelsea players complaining about? About as clear a red card as you’re going to see and now three yellows for whinging about it.

Person who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “explicit” posts.

This is the opposite of explicit. It’s deliberately vague and wishy-washy. Peak Starmerism, you might say.

Dragons’ Den idea I’d like to see: tiny handheld fridge for keeping cheese cool when I’m in a hotel. Closest I’ve found so far are insulin coolers.

Christmas/NY TV really has been uniformly awful this year.

Not actually soup

Tell you what’s particularly annoying this time of year, badly designed data pickers.

Ruin two bands by combining them: Shakespeares System of a Down

Bought feta. Don’t have a fridge (in a hotel). Guess I’ll just have to eat the whole pack.

There’s a special place in Hell reserved for people who board trains when there’s clearly people with luggage trying to get off.

Tis the season of hat hair

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

[first day as a shepherd] boss: where are you going? me: [pointing] star boss: what? why me: [shrugging] baby

Andy Madley and VAR refereed that game like Bobby Madley. #NUFC

When you're running the BBC website in 1533

Thanks to the wonders of the British rail system, my train scheduled for ~1 hours time is currently on-time, delayed and cancelled.

Red kite in the middle of Oxford (you’ll have to trust me).

Back in London for 24 hours and I’m already unreasonably angry with people for faffing around on public transport.

The District line is really slow, isn’t it?

Flekken is a good keeper but this is the second nightmare he’s had against Newcastle.

My local kestrel. #Birds 🪶

Nice of Fifa to give that orange bloke a participation medal.

Cloudflare: it’s not you, it’s me.

If you're dating lots of people but you couldn't pick them out of a crowd, that's Wallyamory

Just had lime icing mixed with cheese. Ask me anything.

It’s Antonin Panenka’s birthday today. And to mark the occasion, here’s Julian Dicks giving it some proper fucking welly from the penalty spot…

Nigella’s great but this is utter madness.

Counted for nowt, thankfully, but an outrageous bit of Bergkampesque skill from Dewsbury Hall for the Everton goal.

Chatbots are much better at understanding things like “Please put me through to a real human” these days. Whether they actually do put you through or just send you to a more sophisticated AI is, perhaps, an open question.
