Christmas Day has begun, as it so often does, with me sellotaping a photo of Michael Kitchen onto a roll of foil as a joke present for the member of my family who particularly likes Foyle's War. Not sure I needed to bother with any other gifts tbh, it won't get better than this

Wishing you all a merry day in the Universe with whatever you believe caused it. Be happy.

As a tribute to Chris Rea, the BBC should show 'Soft Top, Hard Shoulder'. I love that film, haven't seen it in years.

If it was going to happen to him at any time of year it had to be now, I guess. RIP Chris Rea.

I sometimes find myself singing the theme from Are You Being Served with the lyrics from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

I think I would enjoy boxing more if every match contained at least one complete wanker who deserves a beating. Merry Christmas.

Just passing through the Pennines (namely Royston Vasey) as I head back to Manchester. The shops offer some rather questionable Christmas card options.
