Those few brief bittersweet moments that Christmas morning, when you thought you might get an Atari or an Activision only to be presented with the Hi-De-Hi annual and a caramac
From the Hi-de-Hi annual of 1984, please enjoy this picture of Ted Bovis being played by John Candy

The young 'un seems to be giving a deposition in a Arizona Police station unless his mum's got the weirdest spare bedroom
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

I do love these later tree paintings they have such a sense of place , you can almost smell that damp lichen that grows on sycamores , the distant traffic, feel of the soil on the side of the road

Watched "Mullholland Dr" last night amongst everything else marvelled at Lynch's choice of supporting cast. So many great characters who are two steps away from the norm. And due to the inscrutable character Lynch played throughout his life we'll never quite know how odd we are meant to find them

A record so great it's survived being played 90 times a week on the Food Network, while Jamie Oliver pretends you can make a nice ragu in 15 minutes
Neneh Cherry released "Buffalo Stance" as the lead single from her debut album 'Raw Like Sushi' 37 years ago on November 28, 1988 | Watch the official video, listen to the album + revisit our tribute here: album.ink/nenehcherryRLS

The whole Palestine Action situation has done more to highlight the Govts immoral position on Gaza than anything else
If you’re going to shop today, buy a Sally Rooney novel while you still can. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Sally Rooney books may be withdrawn from UK sale over Palestine Action ban, court told
Rooney has said she intended to use royalties from her work "to go on supporting Palestine Action."

I would have swapped in the "Cruel Sea" or "In which we serve " and "Jason and the Argonauts" but it's a good list
I ranked some films set on water. ON water, so submarines don't count. No need to tell me which ones I've missed, though wish I'd remembered to include KNIFE IN THE WATER.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat: the 20 best films set on water – ranked!
As L’Atalante is re-released, we count down the best movies set largely on ships, boats, barges, yachts, steamers and trimarans. Submarines banned, as they’re under water

I remember seeing these at the Leeds Biennial (?) and being taken by Judith Tucker's work. They had a slightly uneasy feeling , an air of disquiet as well catching the light and feel of England's overlooked places.
I went to Leeds Art Gallery and found a group of paintings by the excellent artist Judith Tucker, who examined one of my PhD students. This is ‘Night Fitties’ (2022). Tragically, she died in 2023.
