Today I learned that Nobel Prize winners can request up to 3 extra medals - which are gold plated bronze replicas.
So I'm grinning at the thought that she possibly gave him a replica and not the actual medal.

Blue Monday was a fun marketing gimmick until every single day became a depressing nightmare prison for anyone with a conscious or a brain.

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

If you accept a knighthood, you should have to participate in at least one jousting tournament a year. The tournaments should be televised.

As part of my Christmas present, my brother gave me £30, I have spent it on fragrance samples of things I've been curious about, but didn't want to blind buy. They arrived today.

Dear stomach: I know you spent the last 2 weeks with free access to cookies & other treats during waking hours. I swear you are not starving just because I'm back to eating regular meals. Please calm down!

Can food manufacturers please start packaging cream, creme fraiche, and sour cream, into 5 tablespoon packets?
The amount of recipes that only call for a couple of tbsp, and you can't get pots any lower than 300ml/150ml.

Christmas Dinner 2.0 was a success. Apart from the fact that I turned the timer on for 20 mins on the vegetable steamer, but neglected to turn it on at the socket, and didn't notice until I was serving it all up.

If you haven't seen Automan, I thoroughly recommend it. Completely crap, in a fabulous 80s comfort TV way. (Bonus points are awarded for recognising Chuck Wagner from a certain Broadway musical).
There's only a 6 month window between moving here and @c29.bsky.social moving in with us. I honestly thought I'd introduced the cheestastic Automan to Caz. Not so. This is being remedied between episodes of Airwolf (don't watch the 4th series). I think after those the logical must surely be Manimal?
