Hello. Come in. Cup of tea? Sorry about the blood on the handle. I draw, I paint, I am autistic, I drink Yorkshire Tea. Is that everything? I think that's everything.

I think you only need to hear about ten or fifteen seconds of this to get that it's absolutely gorgeous.
Never heard it before, till it was on Radio 3's Night Tracks the other week.

I don't have Spotify, but if I did there are two songs it would tell me I've listened to a LOT this year. One is this, which 6 Music kept playing every morning for a while and has stuck with me since:

Found this photo last night, of an evening last century. I don't remember it being taken and I don't know who took it, but I'm glad they did. This is me and my brother and I think it's one of the occasions I allowed his innocent eyes to glance at a Viz annual (probably Billy the Fish).

Rubber Soul is 60 today! The more time passes the more I think my favourite song here is George's If I Needed Someone. "Carve your number on my wall / and maybe you will get a call from me" is a great, strange line.

The White Reindeer!
To the best of my knowledge, the only 1950s Finnish sort-of-vampire-but-with-reindeer film

Transformers 5 is (for me anyway) absolutely awful. However, it does have Anthony Hopkins swearing & giving the finger to passing drivers, while being driven at dangerous speeds by his robot butler, and I firmly believe 90 minutes of just that would be an absolute winner.
Defend a terrible film by picking something from it that saves it.

@jenbren.bsky.social I was wondering why I hadn't seen many of your posts recently. Apparently I wasn't following you - bit confused what happened there tbh, because I was. Anyway - that's why you'll have just seen I've followed you. Did you need all this explanation? Probably not!

I have a higher proportion of trans people in my life than the average person in the U.K. - trans men and trans women as well as some enbys, most of them are young adults.
In no way shape or form would any of them (now or a few years ago as kids) pose any kind of threat to a bunch of girl guides. 🏳️⚧️🫶

The best Tara King episode of The Avengers. It's always a good sign if Edwin Richfield is around - he seems to turn up in every show from The Past I like.
The Avengers - All Done with Mirrors (2nd December 1968). Tara, with a little help from Watney (Dinsdale Landen), tackles the villainous Barlow (Edwin Richfield).

I saw Die Hard for the first time in 2020, just after we'd put our Christmas tree up and decorations. So it's a Christmas film to me. I know Bruce Willis has also said otherwise, but he probably didn't watch it after putting a tree up.
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.
But it looks like the British people are behind the actor, with a survey revealing that Home Alone is the UK’s favourite festive film, while Die Hard has officially been voted not a Christmas movie. Continue reading...

Any question about my job is the worst question, as I wish to maintain the illusion I understand it completely.
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

December 1st. Thought I'd have a rewatch of all the 1970s Ghost Stories for Christmas before work each morning.
