Controversial maybe, but I think the xmas Special of The Good Life is one of, if not, the best xmas Special of a sitcom.
It just reinforces that ultimately Christmas is about being with those you love and being as silly and childish as possible instead of overawed by capitalism

It wasn't a great tackle on Isak, and it's awful he's broken his leg, but the reaction of some Liverpool fans firmly solidifies their place as some of the most unhinged fans out there

Considering I've just been into Poundland in Reading and they have EASTER EGGS on sale I'm starting to think maybe the "Christmas is cancelled" weirdos have a point.....

Red Roses surely? They are all excellent contenders but considering Chloe Kelly will probably win SPOTY then this seems a fair compromise

Really enjoying The War Between The Land and the Sea. Reminds me of Children of Earth a bit. A good self contained story over a few episodes allowing proper character development etc.
If the BBC were brave then they would do a proper Dr Who series like this (similar to Flux)

I'm not sure ive met or spoken to a single person desperate to leave the ECHR who actually knows anything about the ECHR, what it does, why it exists, what it covers etc
But equally the majority of ardent brexiteers knew about as much about the EU, so it's hardly a suprise

I'm not saying I miss Sepp Blatter but if he was still in charge then he'd have awarded himself the FIFA Peace Prize, and that is somehow still less repugnant than what we all watched last night

I find it fascinating that MAGA is generally so anti LGBTQ+ but are obsessed with making the most homoerotic AI images of Trump possible. A psychiatrist could have a field day I'm sure....

Apparently I'm £36 a week worse off under this budget. Can't say I'm going to lose any sleep over that

Based on those Budget leaks it sounds like a pretty fair one all things considered. It's almost like Labour have actually now had two half decent budgets despite all the negative media about them

I still maintain it'd be much more fun if we had no seedings for these competitions. Have a completely free & random draw with no geographic or world ranking restrictions. Who wouldn't love a group with France, Spain, Brazil and Argentina in it?

I can completely accept that people can say awful things as a child and then grow up to be a completely different person and acknowledge they were wrong/stupid.
I find it baffling that some people don't care that someone aspiring to be PM shouldn't be challenged on their past

Oof those are brutal World Cup qualifying draws for Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Considering some of the teams they could have played they have been so unlucky
It's going to be Italy, Turkey and Denmark qualifying isn't it? The other pot could be anyone

I'm so glad @mrjamesob.bsky.social is talking about this immigration jewellery story. It's one of the most disgusting immigration stories I've heard from any credible party in recent times in the UK and the fact it's coming from labour is even worse.

This Trump-BBC farrago just reminds of that Simpsons Halloween special where France nukes Springfield because something Mayor Quimby said.
I'm not saying Trump is going to nuke Broadcasting House obviously. Just that i'd make sure Claudia and David Attenborough know the way to the bomb shelter
