Horrible news all over the place at the moment so how about a totally inconsequential conversation? I’m cooking Xmas dinner this year and have had various food requests from family members including onion rings. I’ve never heard of this being a Xmas thing. What are your unusual Xmas food traditions?

Really enjoying BBC Radio3's Carols Across the Country, @jackieoates.bsky.social sounding great and they also just played a recording of "Tomorrow Will Be My Dancing Day" which I'm pretty sure was the Jesus College recording from 2010 which has one of my sons on treble. (They didn't say though)

I am calling a ceilidh on Tuesday for students, most of whom won't have been to a ceilidh before (a very international group).
Can anyone recommend extra dances I could do which are easy to pick up and still fun? I'm thinking difficulty level of eg Gay Gordons or The Flying Scotsman.

I’m old enough to remember when the Director General of the BBC categorically didn’t resign after one of its flagship politics shows literally photoshopped Jeremy Corbyn with a Soviet hat and painted red with the Kremlin in the background like some kind of Cold War-era communist mural.
