Great to see Private Eye putting their Post Office Scandal report online for people to download.

They’ve been covering this story for years, long before most other parts of the media were interested.

They’re doing the draw before the game so Wigan fans get to see who they’ll play in the next round. #facup ⚽️

Yodel are maintaining their excellent reputation for deliveries. My only advise to them is to not make the live chat customer service team say ‘Download our app for your two-hour delivery window’ when they’ve lost the parcel.

The inside of our fridge is starting to look normal again, and not like a cruise ship buffet.

#

I’m assuming the Tower has good fire safety equipment up at the top? At least I hope so. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2…

#

I’ve been watching this game for 5 minutes and seen two goal. ⚽️

It’s not a surprise anymore, but what kind of place have we become?

Another Christmas tradition ticked off. ✅ Blackadder’s Christmas Carol watched.

Feel like such a fraud as I’m not a teacher.

Thermal mug reading ‘I’m a teacher. What’s your superpower?’

Daughter at rehearsals so sat in a cold car swigging a thermal flask of coffee.

The gap where my tooth was is currently annoying me more than the tooth was.

#

The problem with stealing Bored Apes is you get peanuts.

A massive theft appears to be happening right now --- all these NFTs have been stolen from wallets... some of the absolute top tier apes.

After over 40 great years together, it’s time to say goodbye to one of my teeth.

Very much enjoyed Doctor Who. Nice to see the Disney money being spent on extra long corridors.

#

It begins.

Quality street green triangle
#

It’s hard to know my favourite part of Braverman’s letter. Thinking you can point at things and say ‘notwithstanding clause’ to get out of international obligations is up there though.

#

Are these really old-fashioned habits? Smoking and drinking were much more prevalent in the past. I’d say these are modern habits.

Launching his annual report, Professor Sir Chris Whitty urged people to adopt “old fashioned” habits to stave off ill health and disability in later life, saying sickness need not be an inevitable part of ageing. He said healthy eating, exercise, mental stimulation, drinking only in moderation and stopping smoking were key.

Yobs cartoon in Private Eye

I received my latest Private Eye at the same time I read of Tony Husband’s passing. I’ve been laughing at Husband’s cartoons for over 30 years. Sometimes silly, sometimes melancholy, always insightful.

I know rugby union is a slow game, but just how long is this World Cup going on for?

#

Interesting to see the UK reviews of #Frasier being surprised by how good Nicholas Lyndhurst is. He was in Butterflies, Only Fools and Horses, Goodnight Sweetheart, and more. The guy knows a thing or two about comedy.

#

Anonymous person messages Times Radio and says they are young, mostly left-wing, and feel Sunak is doing the right things.

Never felt more woke than when walking to the local shop and buying vegan Galaxy chocolate.

At the local chemist and, once again, amazed by the sweet shelf time forgot. Chewits and whistling lollipops both proudly on display.
