Getting to listen to Last Christmas is a treat
You should feel honoured that it has come into your life

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

If you get period pain and use hot water bottles to help alleviate it, and you wear any bottoms with drawstrings that have metal bits on the end, please do not make the mistake I did. Take those metal bits off. I have LITERALLY BURNED MY ABDOMEN and it's annoyingly funny how annoying it is

Every year we treat ourselves to a new decoration or two for the Christmas tree and this year’s additions are just absolutely outstanding
Tempted to not add anything else as we basically have a muppet Christmas tree

I’m now top 5 and the 99p offer ends today apparently!
I’m a top 10 in the gay section! It’s been a while. Still time to pick up a 99p bargain if you fancy it. amzn.to/4885NwR

5 years ago today, Pandemic Year. It had been a month since I opened my "side project" (lol) cat rescue in the spare room of my flat in London.
I saw an ad for a male kitten with "balance & walking problems" who urgently needed a home. And so it began. HAPPY SMOL PAUL DAY!

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:

So many visions of the future are already proven false. We didn't have Star Trek's Eugenics Wars in the 1990s. No flying cars in 2015 — sorry, Back to the Future.
In my latest newsletter, I explain why it's good for future visions to come with an expiration date.

This is wrong, I think, but it makes me want more examples of things that are "3D" but it's not the usual 3.
All chess is 4D chess that's why they have that time clock thingy.

If I'm giving "the promise of a theatre ticket" as a Christmas present, how should I make it be more than just a bit of paper saying "IOU one ticket"?

You be the judge: should my partner stop compressing the coffee in the moka pot?
Hamad thinks his method enhances the flavour. Lucia says he’s breaking all the sacred rules. Who needs to wake up and smell the coffee?

There's a little in-office happy hour this evening and it says no special occasion but I'm pretty sure the occasion is "no meetings with the Americans this evening", so I'm thankful for that.

In the BIG screen at the cinema for Wicked Part Two and it is pretty full on a weeknight.
I think I'll enjoy it more with a big audience, it's a Spectacular.

Use, and I cannot state this enough, libraries. UK/RoI authors get paid for library borrows. More than you'd think!
I’m just going to block anyone attempting to justify or excuse pirating books. Times are hard, yes, but absolutely NO ONE needs to steal books. Libraries exist. There are umpteen works legitimately in the public domain. You don’t need to take income from authors trying to scrape a living.
