The Grandson's Accomplice (what/the feck)

An excellent week. Finished chemo last Saturday, guarded optimism from my oncologist on Wednesday, a jolly 10 minutes yesterday with my surgeon yesterday ("see you in 8 months, then yearly") and the ultrasound of our next grandchild.

So I'm celebrating with the best tea in the world.

One should only speak good of the dead.

Scott Adams is dead. Good.

A canary in the coal mine: Arsebook has stopped pushing right wing bollocks, at least to me. So I checked with a few lefty mates, and they're seeing it too.

Has Zuck pivoted because he's seen the writing on the wall? Coupled with "all alone in the war room", is the 25th Amendment coming for him?

The sherry and turnips for the Hogfather are out, Hans Gruber has fallen off Nakatomi Plaza, and it's goodnight from me.

HO. HO. HO.

While I was waiting for an appointment at the Freeman Hospital today, two people rang the bell.

Now that's what you call a Christmas present.

It's been 53 years since I scratched my name onto the roofing lead outside my dormitory window. Quite grateful to Greg who held my legs.

I had a recent conversation in which I declined to have my prostate examined. Not from shyness, or discomfort, but "I'm terribly sorry doctor, I no longer possess the necessary aperture".

Another silver lining. However, if you're over 45, get yourself checked.

What do you do when your surgeon tells you he's going to cut you a new one? You give the old one a farewell tour up the Ouseburn, of course! I've started at the Tyne Bar with Allerdale Red Squirrel, and I shall update as I go.

Sadiq Khan got a knighthood. I'm glad I'm on here, because the Other Place is screaming its head off. Also nice to see Danaerys Targaryen and her mum got gongs.

It has gone well. The children have been entertaining, the grandchild has been charming, Beloved's presents fit, and I have received many socks, a very nice bottle of Nikka whisky, and a scarf.

Pity about having to wear the Cone of Shame for being the first to lose at Exploding Kittens.

Just had a brief foray back to That Place. It's quite an interesting sensation, feeling your mental health deteriorating in real time.

The levels of hatred remind me of standing next to hot noisy industrial machinery. Which is exactly what Twatter is now.

Just been back into That Place. After less than a week here, it's incoherence and sheer nastiness are startling.

It's very obvious that Skum hasn't a clue how to use AI, but it's not stopped him from building a giant Nazi robot toddler.
