I have not watched any of the previous Traitor shows so I thought I would dip my toes in. Has a feel of show where the contestants and the producers are doing knowing winks at each other. I do know that Traitors have won the past ones maybe set up for a Faithfull to win this year?

So I completed watching Stranger Things. It was very good in bits and bit ok in others. I not sure why people were getting het up about the ending. I get the feeling Duffer Brothers will return to it in couple of years...

Posh city boy grifter. One trick pony, pop up shop political huckster. Political policies thinner than pizza base. Farage does not even like beer and prefers expensive red wine.
First point: this article clearly explains how chaotic a Reform cabinet would be. For one thing, they're all fractious ex-Tories. Hardly 'Reform' is it? More a case of As You Were!
Though in fairness to Lee Anderson, this will be the third party he's represented 🤣

Here’s a pick-me-up for the January blues: this could well be Nigel Farage’s last year on top | Simon Jenkins

One of the things I going to try and do in 2026 is read a bit more non fiction. Starting with this pile for the next few weeks or so. Music themed pile.

I predict a 90 odd minutes of missed chances , misplaced passes and long ball hoofery. There will then be 48 hours of Old Firm pundit hand wringing whataboutery.
