It is wild to me that the 1987 Paul Daniels xmas show had the Pyongyang acrobatic troupe as visiting performers. BBC4 digs up some fantastic archive bobbins.

This C5 movie has a a christmas tree scientist "running DNA" in 3 eppendorf tubes and a tinfoil pie dish.
It's going to take 15 hours under a lamp, apparently.

She's also going to "bond the nutrients together!" using tree sap to save the tree farm. Because SCIENCE!

Made super healthy salmon, rice and peas for dinner, then did TWO pieces of life admin I kept forgetting to deal with, and they BOTH involved having to do stupid account update bullshit.

I have absolutely earned whatever random snacky bollocks I end up ramming in my face in the next few hours.

It's Albert Finney Scrooge time. I do so enjoy Alec Guinness trotting around as a faintly fey Marley and Anton Rodgers dancing on a coffin. Plus, you have never seen more 70s looking urchins in your LIFE.

I am DONE WITH WORK till the 5th! HUZZAH!

Got a new stinky candle, bought the very last bonus stocking stuffer (probably), and put out clean sheets and towels. Now time to find a highlighter and sit down with this year's xmas raddy-o-timms and see what festive offerings are on the tellybox.

Roll on lunchtime. We're doing gift exchange and playing exploding kittens. I am SO DONE with this morning already. I don't want to do actual work. It's the last day of term ffs. Stop making me do my job!

Fuck ooooooffff wanting to do practical on the last day of term. Stop making me do my job, on this week of all weeks. 😒

@gourami.bsky.social FYI, the steampunk market was unsurprisingly bobbins. A weird hodgepodge of crafters, re-sellers and, for some reason, football merch(??).

Saw some nice outfits roaming around town but that's about it.

Look,I know OBJECTIVELY loyalty card pricing is a scam. If you can give that price to the vast majority of your customers, you can give it to all of them. But one cannot deny the psychological impact of what it does at the till. A 'successful' utilisation yeilds impressive looking numbers.

There was honeycomb rocky road in the canteen today. It was delicious but (and I say this as someone who does love a dessert) the portions could have done with being about a third of the size. Ho-LEE shiiiiiiiet. If you ever wanted to show your pancreas who's boss...

"I'll buy you lunch if you'll dissect this chicken wing and clean off a bone for me cause raw meat gives me the life-long-vegetarian icks."

SOLD! I've handled more raw chicken just deboning thighs to make my dinner.

So anyway, I have enroled on a health, nutrition and wellness CPD course at work. I get a certificate at the end and, most importantly, AN EXTRA DAY OFF AS INCENTIVE.
Eh, it'll be educationally old rope but I need a kick up the booty to get back on the stick in the new year.

Found a provisional driving licence on the pavement on my walk in this morning. Picked it up, looked at it. Owner was barely 18, and it was lost on the main drag in to work. Just sighed & thought "he's one of ours, isn't he?"
Got to work, looked him up on the system and yup. Has been duly reunited.

I have not stopped sneezing All. Fucking. Morning.

I don't feel ill, I just have the itchiest nose in the wooooorld.

There's a security guy at my local Tesco who looks SO MUCH like Paul Rodgers in his 50s, I am constantly filled with the urge to ask if he finally got enough of her love yet.

Just found out m'collegue used to work in Special Branch. Legit never knew that.
Was talking about the Bug's potential interest in joining the fuzz. She says they often rejected good applicants as a test to see if they were dedicated enough to keep reapplying. Took her 7 tries to get accepted. 😱

Oh good greif. The Marxist is not happy with the pay award and wants to strike in Jan. Dipshit, 4% backdated is over the AOC's independent recommendation, AND we have a commitment to more in the summer if the surplus is there, plus 3 days extra holls? Just be happy, for once in your goddamn life.
December 4, 2025 at 3:16 PM
4% pay award backdated to September and an extra 3 days holiday. That'll do nicely, thanks.

Oh, Sadface. The lemon mug went out of stock already. Perhaps there'll be a second run.

I do NOT need more mugs, it just tickled me.
December 2, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Oh no. John Finnemore has a tiny webstore (mostly to sell his puzzle book from the Unbound/Boundless saga) but it has a The Lemon Is In Play mug and the last thing I need is more mugs but I have a MIGHTY NEED. 😅

DECORATING IS HAPPENING! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

You know I have lived in this house for multiple years now and sometimes I STILL accidentally put in my old postcode when filling out my address. I got the hang of the rest of the address but the postcode, man, it's like a 30-year-long ingrained default.
