Since everything is awful and it’s nearly Christmas, who’d like some pictures of ship’s cats? Don’t worry dog lovers, a canine thread’s coming soon! Let’s start with Tiddles, sitting in his favourite spot on the carrier HMS Victorious in 1943 (he liked playing with the bell rope)

Rather magnificent black floof sitting on a ship’s capstan under a bell with a very inviting dangling rope.

There we go. Confirmed.

The Christmas subplot from the novel of Hunt for Red October does turn up (albeit briefly) in the film.

Therefore Hunt for Red October is a Christmas film.

One "ho ho ho", Vasily, and one "ho ho ho" only...

Yes it's mentioned at the start and end of the film

Groot-Brittannië per schip en trein : Dutch language publicity brochure : British Railways : Southern Region : 1963 : cover by John Bainbridge : printed at the Baynard Press. A rather lavish brochure and map, intended I suspect for foreign visitors arriving from the Continent, and issued by British Railways Southern Region in 1963. It describes the various railway ferry routes and main line train services. The brochure appears in various European languages including German, English, Italian and as here in Dutch. The contents give details of Continental agents, shipping services to the UK, train services, distances and fares and ancilliary information such as for London Transport's tourist tickets. The background to the map inside is of the network is printed in gold ink and the cover, using gold for the lion and red for the unicorn, is by John Bainbridge (1919 - 1978), is a bold representation of the Lion and the Unicorn from the Royal Arms. The giold lion is in the foreground superimposed over the red, offset, unicorn. Lettering to top edge and the BR 'totem' symbol to the lower right corner.

This fine map of the British Railways system, just prior to the widespread "Beeching cuts", also shows part of the Irish railway system alongside the various ferry services. The map background is unusually shown in gold with railway lines in red; towns to have lost service are still shown as with station symbols.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
This is the saddest day of my professional life. Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage. I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys. I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show, A show that I named and helped develop over all those years. Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry. These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices. Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'. • I chose the latter. It broke my heart. I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make. I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer. I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence. One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career. I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more. I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost". James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice. Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences. I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness. Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire. I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal. I am so sorry to let you down. I hope that you can understand my reasoning. I have to accept that I am not what the current BBC expects of their freelance presenters. Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not "just a job" I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world. From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too. The strawberry is dead. Long live the strawberry. B

Fears about the US military's lurch to the right intensify after the Missile Defence Agency's Sea-Based X Band radar SBX-1 joins the Klan
SBX-1, a radar plonked onto a converted oil platform, apparently having a Klan hood installed over its radar. It's either that or it's like when you put a towel over the budgerigar's cage to stop it swearing in front of the vicar. Photo originally on FB from a chap called Kaleb Laurent, it says here.

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...
