I like New Year Resolutions, so here goes:

1. get my French to C1 level
2. Go to the theatre more often
3. Drink lots of good wine
4. Go to champagne and buy lots of champagne
5. Get a six pack (almost impossible)

I shall endeavor to follow the instructions

Consistently partisan bullshit from Politico. You wouldn't grasp from this framing that the EU agreed to a €90 billion loan to Ukraine.

That’s going to prove increasingly difficult.

What always fascinates me is that Tourette’s is fair game too

I had a horrific dream last night where I was sorting out the functions of a company (marketing, finance, operations etc) except each time I solved the problems I had no idea what to do. I woke up at 6am utterly confused.

Whenever a music person dies, I ask my aunt (who was the cook at a big recording studio for years) how many thumbs up, from one to five. She says:
Chris Rea 👍👍👍👍👍
Chris Rea's wife 👍👍👍👍👍
Chris Rea's baby 👍👍👍👍👍

I sincerely love how the BBC solidifies the canon of British culture. Like to me Chris Rea is the Road to Hell because I was living in Kent when the M25 opened, but also and of course youtu.be/H0WiwB1Cjbg?...

Hey, do you want a doctor or someone to look after your elderly mum? Tough, Farage has destroyed even that bit of your life like he destroys everything he touches.
The UK is now facing an emigration crisis and a shrinking population. It must, must, must reverse engines on immigration immediately - throw the doors open and wave people in. Otherwise we are inviting disaster.
Your occasional reminder that buzzfeed, a corporately owned news outlet, reported credible child rape accusations against Trump, presumably well pored over by lawyers, in 2016, before the first, and LONG before the second time he was elected president of the USA.
