There are lots of very good covers of Beatles songs out there. But I still reckon one of the best is by the wonderfully named female group Fanny, absolutely kicking the shit out of 'Hey Bulldog'. Lovely stuff!

📰 There are some snow-laden headlines in online news at the moment, but do they reflect the actual forecast?

Well, not really.

Get the details 👇
Met Office fact check graphic. Text reads: "Our forecast says: It’s unsettled this week with a mixture of wind, rain and some sunny spells too. Temperatures will be around average with any snow likely confined to high ground in the north, as is normal for the time of year. The news headline: UK weather maps turn purple as Britain hit by 7 now bombs all at once."

The best thing about having fragile pottery send to your home is that it comes with a free void, the abyss you shouldn't stare into and... oh wait, it's just Moortje.

Cover of the day: from December 1973, a London Borough of Hillingdon consultation document on road improvements in Hayes. A great shot of the EMI factory, which dominates the scene.
A black and white photo on the cover of the document which is titled: London Borough of Hillingdon Bournes Bridge - Dawley Road Improvement Scheme. The photo features a car and lorry crossing a bridge, overshadowed by the HMV/EMI record factory in the background.

The Whamaggedon Discourse posts I like best are “why are we picking on this when [also good Christmas song] exists?” - no sorry those are bangers too

The Detectives - Thicker Than Water (BBC1, 1995). I could do a thread on this one alone. Briefly, damn near perfect Xmas ep. Consistently funny, smooth & deceptively simple plot, well acted, well shot, just the right amounts of melancholy & sentiment, with Xmas radiating every scene.
#XmasTelly
The Detectives; Briggs & Louis, standing in their office as someone talks to them out of shot. Briggs has tinsel round his shoulders. Briggs and Louis in an off-license, at the till with a mountain of lager cans to purchase. Both looking quite pleased with themselves. Briggs, Louis and Louis's criminal brother (dressed as Father Christmas) in Louis's flat, at the dining table, eating sandwiches and drinking cans of lager. Briggs, Louis, Louis's brother and Superintendent Cottam (wearing Santa hat) having a Xmas toast. Cottam is plastered and laughing wildly, as others react.

My example of non-AI digital art, delivered via the medium of Bob Ross paired with Sid Sutton's Doctor Who title sequence from the 1980s (it's all in the hair).

For our wedding, I came within sparrowfart of persuading the caterers to provide a menu option for "Sausage Surprise", which would have been a plate of mash with a couple of holes where some sausages should obviously have been. They were all for it, but I was advised the guests might lynch me.

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?

We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

So, happy 50th anniversary to Melody Maker’s review of Bohemian Rhapsody: “Queen, with a suitably baroque vocal orchestration, contrive to approximate the demented fury of the Balham Amateur Operatic Society performing The Pirates of Penzance”

Ahahahahaha, local business that recorded themselves sticking a load of Union Jacks to lampposts all about town are currently pissing and moaning about finally Finding Out.
A letter from North Yorkshire Council to some local flag botherers, charging them £36.27 per flag + VAT for all the flags they stuck up on lampposts. They stuck up 64 flags

seasonal reminder that if someone says they don't drink:
-it's none of your business why
-hosts should have several non-alcoholic beverage options
-the holidays can be a tough period for non-drinkers
-many jokes about not drinking are bad
-people are burned out and might just be tired
