Mr F has gone to get a Christmas tree and while I like it when it’s up and decorated, the whole process that leads thereto fills me with the same ughhhhh as washing my hair, or changing the bedding. Love the result, hate the prep

With the tumescent resurgence of seasonal perfume ads, I am reminded that quite a lot of people wear truly awful perfume that they don’t actually like, but buy it (or are bought it) just for the brand, or the pretty bottle, or because “it’s expensive so it must be good”, and not FOR THE ACTUAL SMELL

She’s back again. I am still happy to undergo all those terrible sexy clothes in exotic locations to spare her the effort, and I wouldn’t even want paying
That perfume ad where Natalie Portman prances around several glorious locations in expensive clothes clearly having a whale of a time, then says to camera “and you… what would YOU do for love?”
None of that looks like hard work, Natalie, frankly I’d do it for free

Mr F at his work Christmas do, which differs MARKEDLY from mine in that “jackets are required for gentlemen” and he was asked to choose wines, whereas mine was in a pub that does nice food and I lost my cracker present under a dog

It's that time of the year again, so once again I offer up my thanks and sympathies to everyone working in retail, this week and next. May you be blessed with kindly, smart, and above all, speedy customers, who get what they want and sod off.

As the wet chill draws in, I remember a couple of weeks ago in Sainsbury’s, where my card payment got rejected twice because my hands were so cold my phone decided my fingerprint was either dead or not human

I was torn because CAN there be a bad version of Feliz Navidad, but the answer is of course “yes if sung by disco Germans” (disclaimer: I love disco and Germans, but COME ON)

Reading about US politics online is like trying to follow a drama where the writers are crap at continuity:
Wasn’t he in prison?
She was suing him and now she’s marrying him?
He had a different job yesterday!
Which blonde is this?
Last week God told him to do it and now it’s a sin?
Didn’t she die?
