@jagohazzard.bsky.social Further to your latest video, I spotted a snow-covered classic train on Sunday.
For any train enthusiasts out there, I've spotted this West Coast Railways engine (code 37 706) parked at Dundee station this morning, with the front end covered in snow.

Boulevard of Broken Plans
An artist pal was visiting Dundee from Glasgow this weekend, and he suggested we see a screening of the animé Princess Mononoke. This was newly restored in 4K quality and was showing for a limited time only. Before and after the screening, we talked about our unrealised projects, and his long-term plan to move to London and make a start on some of these.

Three unlikely predictions for revivals in the year ahead:
1. Early-2000s-style Bluetooth posters will start popping up everywhere.
2. Indie guitar music will suddenly flood the charts.
3. Eastman Kodak and Yahoo! will team up to create some must-have product.

Dual Lingo
In mid-December, it was reported that the comedian Stanley Baxter had died at the age of 99. He's best known for the recurring Parliamo Glasgow sketches, which were a parody of the BBC language learning programme Parliamo Italiano. In each one, he and a co-presenter switch seamlessly from performing an example sketch in the Glasgow dialect to addressing the camera in the dominant Received Pronunciation of the day.

I’ve had a list sitting in my ideas notepad, and as I’m at a loose end tonight, let’s dust it off.
Here is my list of permanent Countdown presenters, subjectively ranked from least favourite to most.
Number one will not be a surprise, but let’s look at the other six first.

@strongmisgiving.bsky.social I'll be busy seeing family from 9am today, but I'll try to pop into You Be the Judge at some point. I've assembled a plate of buns to enjoy while reading it.

This isn't one of my gags, but the Eric Clapton track Promises reminds me of leaving an office on Christmas Eve, and I've no idea why.
In fact, this association seems to have been set before I even worked in an office.

Running a Readathon
For the last six years or so, I've been involved in a small readathon that takes place on Discord. Over time, it's been scheduled on various dates and has been run by different people. In its current incarnation, I help my pal Jenny to run it once a year, approximately around Yuletide. This year, it was set to start at 8pm on Saturday, finishing at 8pm on Sunday.

It amuses and intrigues me more each year how Elton John tells folks to Step Into Christmas, and makes a point of saying the admission is free of charge, as if he's going to invite pals around and open a bar tab.

Laughs and Larks in London
Every Sunday, the Comedy Store in London hosts an improv evening, and it has done since 1985. I've occasionally considered going, but a few weeks ago, I was finally given a good reason to take the trip. The actor Neil Mullarkey has been part of the Comedy Store Players since its inception. A few weeks ago, he announced his retirement, with his last show set to take place on 4 January 2026.

Something unimportant is bugging me, but let's see how we go:
Does anyone recall a poetry set at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, maybe in 2017, where the poet began by running a bleep test across the stage?
The writer may have been called Kath or Katharine, but it definitely wasn't Macfarlane.

I think the most underrated part of The A-Team is right at the end when Stephen J. Cannell pulls the paper out of his typewriter and sends it flying, which is then perfectly shot-matched with the animated titles. That must taken days to create in an era before computer graphics.
