First of tonight’s movies… 20,000 Leagues under the Sea with Kirk Douglas and James Mason. Must be at least 40 years since I’ve seen this one.

My lovely wife is out tonight so I’m at my favourite Thai street food restaurant for dinner and there’s a table of students next to me talking about what they had for lunch. One pipes up “I had a BLT but I ignored the recipe and put 6 slices of bacon in” is it me?… recipe? 🤣

To celebrate the release of the #ChristmasRadioTimes, what was on the cover of the Christmas issue in the year you were born?
Here's mine from 1968.
Ken Dodd, Benny Hill, Cilla Black, Morecambe and Wise, Leslie Crowther, Lulu and Dean Martin....I'm struggling after that!

Today’s poem is called ‘This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes’.
![This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes
This is one of those poems
without any rhymes,
the sort of thing you might read
in the Telegraph or Time[crossed out] Guardian.
For, as proper poets know,
rhyme’s deleterious
and only gets in the way
when you’re trying to be serious[crossed out] profound.
It’s childish and cloying,
simplistic and singsong
to bat rhymes back and forth
like some dull game of ping pong[crossed out] table tennis.
To the literary critic
it will cause great affront,
which will make you resent them
and think them a snob.
This is also one of those poems
which looks like it might go on to say something insightful
about the human condition
but then just kind of ends.

We are still lying in bed listening to the wind and contemplating whether we could just leave the Christmas tree undecorated this year!🤣
