A reminder that my Ladybird Artists Advent Calendar starts tomorrow.

Of course, it may bear a distinct resemblance to my advent last year (and the year before that, and the year before that …)

More time has passed between the start of the Clangers and now than between the start of WW1 and the Clangers.
The first episode of The Clangers was originally broadcast on this day in 1969.

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

Bai Yulu (Chn) just made a 145 against Wang Xinshong (Chn) in the International Championship.
The highest break by a woman, in any tournament, ever!

The previous best was (supposedly) 143 by Kelly Fisher (Eng) in 1994.
