@staggerlee42.bsky.social This Trait place you go on about is a bit nice!

It's 10 years since Cat Food Letterbox Day! Oh happy day!

Hi, I'm Sean's immune system.

"Out with the old, in with the new," I say, eating a sandwich on the toilet while pooping.

I learn something new on this platform every day!

Almost 12am, the time when my phone goes into Do Not Disturb mode.

How I’m seeing in New Year.

All my colleagues have been off since last Monday, so I've been working alone. They start to come back on Friday. Seems as good a time to take some annual leave as any.

I always find it bizarre that on NYE, the lunchtime news considers it newsworthy that it's NYD in New Zealand.

About to start on the RI institution Christmas lectures. This is one of the few places I can say this where there is a chance that people will know what I'm talking about.

I didn't interact with Michael Douglas when his minders made me take the long way round to the toilet in a local hotel so that he wouldn't have to see me walk past his seat. (This wasn't just me btw. They were doing it with others too, and I had no interest in interrupting him. I just needed a pee)

Simon Callow walked past my apartment while I was sitting out on my balcony. (I live very close to a theatre) while whistling a cheery tune.

I'm chair of the 1922 committee.

I'm at that age where I've no idea if someone is a celebrity or not, so I could post about anyone here.

Sums up a lot

My mum has lots of ornaments of different animals. Most years I put one of them in their crib. Not a cow or a sheep, normally something like a dog that is much bigger than all the other statues.

Bring back blogging tbh

The outrageous sanctioning of EU lawmakers and citizens in order to pressure democratically-elected European governments to change their laws shows just how intent the US government is on controlling Europeans' lives. We must go into 2026 with eyes open.

I don't remember this.

Slightly annoyed, but also slightly pleased that my tea supplier who had a "10% off" black Friday sale, has a "15% off" boxing day sale. I tend to pay little attention to Black Friday sales, but I succumbed this time and this reminds me why I should I pay little attention.

It’s the most washing-up time of the year. So here’s a timely jeremiad. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A few years ago my Mum asked my Dad for a Ted Baker watch for Christmas - he did get her one but told us on Christmas Day how he’d initially struggled to find it before realising he had spent some time googling ‘Fred West watch’ by mistake.

RTÉ have a Eurovision mass on, for those who like that sort of thing.

The good thing about not visiting family is that I can get all the excess cardboard etc into the communal recycling bins, before they get full.

Genuinely a much underrated gift!

Very subtle Wordle. 😃

I'm drinking some Wednesday night crémant and watching a documentary about Mongolian goat farmers.

I love when hotels do this!

If anyone wants to see my Bluesky Unwrapped 2025, you can go to the site and generate it yourself.

When you're the only person working on Christmas eve and all your colleagues have taken leave, I guess it's possible to take the piss with "Ach, sure let's finish up a bit early today"?

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

Really feeling this one today, @effinbirds.com

Went out for a walk. Passed an off-license with a massive queue outside. Presumably people getting their booze at the last minute so that it is still fresh on Christmas day.

Just a reminder that if you give blood, or if you're able and eligible and have been meaning to, now would be a good time to book to donate an armful

Was at a Christmas party with a load of clergy last night and as some people were leaving they found a person collapsed on the street outside so the Verger took over and called an ambulance and sent all the clergy away because "if they wake up surrounded by priests that'll just make things worse"

Happened to be chatting to an old neighbour today who told me that the Nobel winning physicist Ernest Walton, lived just round the corner.

Dude, have you considered simply going to a restaurant that doesn't do small plates?

Silent fight Holy fight All kicked off Cos the funfair's shite

I've just used a gift card to buy a different type of gift card. This doesn't seem right somehow.

Fun fact: when Michael Flatley drinks champagne he turns into Michael Bublé.

Your reminder that the sunrise isn't the actual solstice - that happens just after 3 this afternoon www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Watched some of "Unholylands". I have no words...

Weird how The Sun calls for the the BBC to cancel Strictly Come Dancing every time there's the slightest hint of a scandal, but they don't demand the Premier League be shut down every time a footballer does an actual rape.

Came across Clarissa Dickson-Wright’s autobiography in a charity shop. It is everything a devotee of weird history could hope for

Got asked a security question as to my "memorable word". I didn't know it, so had to go through a security process. I asked to reset my "memorable word" and I was told that I needed to choose a word that included both letters and numbers. (i.e. Not a word).
