Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

I feel like we're moving closer to the inevitable day when Liz Truss announces she's defected to Reform, and Reform frantically spins that she absolutely has not

The OBR is run independently from Government. It literally was somebody else's fault.
You'd think Kemi Badenoch would know that given her own party created it in Government, but apparently not

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

NSU RO80 on Bangers and Cash on Yesterday tv at the moment. My dad had one in the early 70s as seen in the photo. Unusual at the time and virtually extinct now!

Gutted to hear that we have lost Tom Stoppard.
Not many plays are absolutely perfect but I consider Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and The Real Inspector Hound to be two examples of theatrical perfection. I’ve been lucky enough to be in one and directed the other.
A huge loss to the stage…

Fabulous night at Esquire’s with the irrepressible Martin Stephenson & The Daintees. Martin’s front room gigs every Saturday night during lockdown were a godsend in those dark times.
First saw him back in 1987, been a fan ever since.
Impressed with Nicola Madill the support act too.
