I am absolutely sick to death of Christmas adverts already and they have only been on for 4 days. They are all, without exception, sickeningly syrupy, long and pointless. This is going to drive me mad over the next 2 months. Roll on Boxing Day.

Well that didn't go as planned. Decided to record West Side Story as there is no way it could be as good as the 1961 film. Maybe just watch the first 10 minutes to see if how the music sounds. 150 minutes later just approaching climax. Wow, incredible. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Terrible service at #wetherspoons Back of Beyond, Reading, last night. App order took 32 minutes to arrive. Woefully understaffed for two days before Christmas. And an rude manager, she may have had to deal with a police incident but no excuse when it is over.
