Before we settle in for the festivities, let’s all take a moment to enjoy the bleakest of all Christmas songs.

If you’re expecting a third verse redemption arc you’re going to be left wanting… like the little boy.

We have entered the season of no meal rules. Dessert is breakfast. Dinner is lunch. A snack is an entire honey-mustard ham

An app but it just records all those things you thought ‘I’ll google that later’ into a feed you can read at bedtime.

I’ve written the five lines for when Scritti Pollitti feature in the line up of Never Mind the Buzzcocks

Scritti polliti
Shitty and gritty
Bit of a fitty
Sex and the city
Isn’t it a pity

Adventures in maths with a five year old.

“Daddy, what’s 16 + 16?”

“Why don’t you work it out?”

“Ok, 6+6 is 12.”

“Yes, so what have you got left?”

“Two ones”

“But, they’re not two ones are they? What are they?”

“Two tens.”

“Ok, so what is 10+10?”

“Twenty”…

Suggestions for What ifs…

What if John Smith hadn’t died.

What if Al Gore had won the 2000 Presidency.

What if David Milliband had been elected Labour Leader.

What if the Brexit vote had been 52/48 in the other direction.

What if Farage hadn’t survived his plane crash.

Finished season 1 of The Bear yesterday. Ordered a blue apron, furiously researching Italian beef recipes, insisting everyone calls me ‘Chef’, randomly shouting ‘Hands’ around the house and calling the kids ‘Cousin’. #TheBear

Such an important article! Especially as we are gearing up for the next cluster programmes. Data often doesn’t tell the whole story.

Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'

OH MY GOD THERES SO MUCH BLOOD COMING OUT OF THE SHOWERHEAD OH MY GOOOD

Dear Food Magazines, I understand you’re excited for Christmas but having your November AND December editions as Christmas specials means I have nothing to cook in November.
