It’s Wayne Hennessy I feel sorry for. If only he’d tried this excuse he’d have been fine.

Gavin and Stacey, then. I’d never watched a full episode, just lots of bits. The special was nice enough, but kind of showed why. A slightly less sneering Mike Leigh piece, with middle class theatre types trying desperately to show what uncultured proles are like, and failing miserably.

An outbreak of avian flu has upended California’s dairy industry, the nation’s largest producer of milk. The virus is spreading so quickly that farmers are calling it “Covid for cows,” and scientists are racing to figure out how to stop it.

If you’re reading - unlikely, I know - apologies to the woman in Sainsbury’s Sydenham just now who was somewhat taken aback by what I had Mommie doing to Santa Claus while singing along to the tannoy.

Golden oldie time: this, from @garybainbridge.bsky.social in 2015 remains as true as ever, but I fear the battle is now more lost than ever. (Apologies for the Reach format unreadability) www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
Christmas jumpers are not a tradition - don't make me wear one
Christmas traditions are great, says Mirror Online columnist Gary Bainbridge, but this isn't one - and Richard Curtis has a lot to answer for

…and is probably the best follow for several of those topics, particularly Spanish politics for outsiders…
It's completely mad that I have 1K followers here after such a short time, a year and a bit. It took several years in the old place. Anyway, I'm interested mainly in what it says in the bio, the politics of those countries as well as Spanish and Catalan literature, and football

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Right, well. I left Twitter for a while, then went back for professional reasons, with a personal sideline. I do wonder if I’m over the requirement to have a Twitter-shaped thing in my life. But I’ll be on here a bit more often from now on. Threads is awful.

Tory pundits yesterday: ‘if Sunak can get flights to Rwanda taking off before the election, that’s a major boost to his chances’
Sunak today: ‘no Rwanda flights before the election’
He’s so Bad At Politics he can’t even do client journalism right.
