Off to bed now. Merry Christmas to those that mark it. If you don't, enjoy the day off all the same. If you're working, I feel your pain, having been on shift for a good few over my years, but you chaps keep the country running. Hope you get a decent break when it comes.

Sometimes all the wisdom and truth in the world can be found on the side of an 18th century Wedgwood teapot;

Honour to the brave
Success to the lover
And freedom to the slave
Sharing this one again because it's awesome, someone should start reproducing these.

A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in.
A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.
