In memory of Rob Reiner, please enjoy my favourite Wikipedia entry of all time, which is Former Members of Spinal Tap. Any time I need a laugh, I pull it up.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

So, remember when you see these stories:
🎄Christians DID cancel Christmas in the 1600s. Muslims have not!
🎄Most of the outrage centers on commercial marketing decisions
🎄People have been moaning about the “Loss of Christmas traditions” for longer than most modern tradition have existed!😜

What they couldn’t explain is why they haven’t been angry about it for the last 15+ years🤷🏼♀️
The Sun even wrote articles about how the Tesco Evergreen Trees were an absolute bargain in 2019/20/21, without once complaining they weren’t called Christmas Trees.
Weird, huh 🤔

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Farage denies being racist, then says he said things playfully, then he says he wasn’t intentionally racist, then he says it was 40 years ago and is now comparing what he said to racist TV of the 1970s.
