Now that's quite a #dublinghostsign reveal on the side of Cumiskey's pub at Broadstone today. Here's hoping it'll be held on to.

A reminder that the BBC One ident for Christmas 1993 literally has to be seen to be believed.

The male jurist interviewed here has apparently no idea what coercion looks like and on a larger scale that's what's actually terrifying about this case.

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

Whamageddon is an abomination. Bublocalypse is always the game to play. Don’t know who invented it but they are bang on. Listen to Last Christmas on repeat, avoid Michael Buble at all costs.

I always thought Whamageddon should be reversed. Whoever hears the song *last* in the wild loses. It's what George would have wanted.

I got into the car on Thursday (where the radio is on Smooth) and Last Christmas was just starting and it felt SO JOYOUS.
Also, if you didn't watch it last year I can't recommend the documentary enough, he was *so* loved.

Actually doing Whamageddon at Christmas is a moral failing, you should be listening to Last Christmas at least once a day if not ten

I couldn't love this more.
Last Christmas is such a tune.
Pick another song for your stupid game.

Listening to Last Christmas because it is an all-time banger and George didn't die on Christmas Day for you to disrespect his memory by participating in Whamageddon

At the end of my last tour I did an online version of the show on Zoom for people who couldn’t make it to the live shows. Would that be something people are interested in this time? It was fun and I’d be up for doing it again if there is demand… let me know!

The end of this year needs celebrating with full on Xmas decs. Even the Son agreed.
Unfortunately, the Leak Detector (yes that's his real name) came out and told us the leak under the kitchen sink has spread under the floor. Not great in an open plan living space.
So there goes that 😭
