Lovely to see so many of you share my annual watching of "Dad's Home Made Xmas Video". I wrote this about it in a book once.

Hearing "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" just now makes me genuinely worry people will forget about Mel Smith. He really was fantastic in everything yet nothing gets repeated anymore. "Alas" has dated for sure but it'd be nice to be able to at least access the Sketchbook.

This boy is a genius. Now bring the rest of my youth back before I splinter into dust.
It's still a work in progress, but seems stable enough for "public beta", so by popular demand here's a standalone version of the parametric clock generator I recently added to my online teletext viewer:

I’m disgusted by Girlguiding’s decision to exclude trans women and girls. Any doubts I ever had about leaving the organisation are now gone; they are dead to me.
Trans women are women. Shame on you, Girlguiding.

Whamageddon is rubbish because "Last Christmas" is a great song thats done a lot of good for many causes. But could we maybe have a different Christmas number one before the heat death of the universe (pending 2026), ta?
