Would anyone be so kind as to share their snowy &/or festively decorated pub image that I could use for my Christmas Bsky card this year? Will gladly name the pub & credit the photographer!

Here it is, my big #EastEnders catch-up thread for people who only see it when they go home for Christmas with the family. Allow me to get you all caught up on the goings-on in Albert Square in its most explosive week of the year! KEEP THIS BY YOUR SIDE AT ALL TIMES.

In 1984, with the Leafs in a major slump, the Toronto Star ran a Cruel Maple Leafs joke contest to win tickets to a game.

I think my favourite entry was "I don't want to enter the joke contest because I'm afraid I might win the tickets."

I took on this absolute ankle snapper of a path out running today, the Spite & Misery Bridleway in The Woodlands.

I lived to tell the tale, obviously.

I've had this bottle of Black Isle Colonel Custard Christmas Ale sitting in the pantry since 2021 and tonight we drank it.

It was beautiful 🖤

Especially happy to open it with my beloved Bar Volo bottle opener

One of the chaps from work was on holiday in Portugal a couple of weeks ago and heard this song for the first time. He's been doing a really good impression of Spanish tourists singing it 🤷‍♂️

We did it! 20 km of new bike lanes including Rathburn, Trethewey, and Kingston. The approval “sends notice that the City of Toronto is not just going to sit around and twiddle its thumbs while Bill 60 is law.”

Gonna get a photo with my favourite beanie from Leftfield Brewery in Toronto because I've already left it in a pub twice and I imagine that it's days are numbered...

English is what happens when the Vikings learn Latin and use it to shout at Germans, and then the French shout back.
