It's that time of year when the bins are collected on random days, and nobody knows what day it is.

Anyone else (still) missing the Christmas day Top of the Pops?

Have lunch, watch TOTP, then the Speech, then fall asleep watching the big film on 1.

(And it's weird that the big film today is on 4.

Today's the day when you wear those trousers that require a belt...

And forgo said belt.

Good grief, people.

The big Asda's only going to be closed one day; just one day!

The other stores will all be open on Saturday.

There's no need to go crazy, blocking up roundabouts and jamming the junctions.

What do you mean you don't obsessively count the number of chocolates in a tub of Celebrations every year and put the results into an Excel spreadsheet!?

Anyway, the 2025 results are in:
Bounty x5
Galaxy x5
Galaxy Caramel x5
Maltesers x5
Mars x9
Milky Way x9
Snickers […]

“The last-minute christmas rush at the bookshop.” - my latest cartoon for @theguardian.com books
Title: The last-minute christmas rush at the bookshop. Image: diagram of a small bookshop packed with coloured dots representing people. The various colours represent the following groups: Contentedly browsing customer, Frazzled staff member, Can't find the book they want, Can't remember what they came for, Complete decision paralysis, In the queue to pay, Thinks they're in the queue but aren't, Dozed off in a comfy chair, Waiting to pounce on the comfy chair, Crying child, Crying adult, Vortex of discombobulated shoppers.

Oh look. It's David Walliams there.
He's just been dropped by his publishers.
