Duvet Know It's Christmas?
Part 2: Rory reading a bedtime story to Ellis.

Ellis has been banished to my office (or the BBC Broom Cupboard as it's more commonly known)
Humpty and Jemima have made some space under the desk for him as it is Christmas Eve.

Anyone want to own AN ACTUAL STARBUG?? This company is auctioning one off and they think it’ll go for £3-5k. Knowing Red Dwarf fans, I think it’s going to go for a lot more than that.

Okay it’s late on 1st December but we’ve had an idea to do a Hall Advent calendar.

We’ll keep it simple. 24 days of the Hall looking ace with maybe a fact thrown in for good measure.

Happy 1st December! #adventcalendar

Call me an old traditionalist, but it just isn’t Christmas until you can buy Churros in a German market in Birmingham.

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

If you like something, then hit the like button. But if you REALLY like something and think other people should see it, then you should hit the repost button.

Bluesky works differently than platforms you're already used to. Liked posts don't get boosted to new eyes. The key is reposting.

My advice to new UK Bluesky users?

Friday nights is #TOTP Top of the Pops Night. A lot of UK Bluesky watch the reruns on BBC4 from 7pm (sports allowing). Join along, meet interesting people.

Or alternatively mute the hashtag in Settings >Moderation > Mute Words & Terms (for your own sanity).

Word of the Day, should you need it, is ‘latibulate’, a 17th-century verb meaning to find a corner somewhere and hide in it.

Good morning.

Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

In his splendid autobiography 'A Moment Towards the End of the Play', Tim West suggests the following for his tombstone, in memory of many terrible detective thrillers from his early days in Rep:
"Is he...?" "I'm afraid so"
