Welcome.

Well to be honest given the way we spoke about them during those years juxtaposed with the way we'd behaved while visiting, the many Little Englands all over Spain and so on, I think the Spanish had every reason to be incredibly offended.

I was in Hamburg. The Germans were very sympathetic in their utter disbelief.

Yeah I think so, just tired and being a fanny. Thanks for asking 😂

Cannonball Run!

I'm doing my own version where I know Carey, Bublé, and Michael are out there somewhere awake, hungry, and getting closer by the moment. To the greatest Christmas predator go the kudos.

De Burgh doesn't count because I've dug a trap for him in the front garden.

I wonder if he'll ever work out that he's just a sort of vaguely ambulant dead cat vending machine for the American right...

I mean there's Zelda... He's pretty great.

I'm going to act on these things sooner rather than later before I lose my nerve, and say a huge thank you to everyone who has been so welcoming already.

I cannot promise to always be an easy friend to have. I CAN do my best to be worth it.

There are so many of these people I'd be happy to never hear of or from again... And this week's anti-trans backlash from World's Strongest Woman as well. Bad week for so many of the vulnerable.

At least you didn't lose The Game. Wait... Ah f***.

Maybe they're finally realising that if you keep making everyone poorer they won't be able to buy whatever crap you're selling.

Slightly less silly note - Troll was so great wasn't it? I love a monster movie and even more so when it's sympathetic. There's a lot of giant-themed mythology in Cornwall so superbly fun and interesting seeing the similarities and differences to things I'm familiar with. Going right on the list.

Excellent.
