I really, really love the Witcher 3 game. The only thing I really, really don't love is Morkvarg, the cursed werewolf. He's a big shouty whingebag who sounds exactly like the late Ian Paisley. "Hrrrr hrrr, eh carrnt ayte, eh arm KARSED and the KARSE CARNT BEY LAFTED."

That's a lovely frosty morning.
I've lived in this area my whole life and I'm still always surprised by the fact that it's a bit frosty where I live but a mere 7km south of that everything is frozen solid.

My incomparable boss has gone through my entire working year and found in - lieu hours, training hours etc

Well, that's cleared that up then, rather than take responsibility for assaulting a woman he has claimed he was compelled to do the Timewarp.

While my brain has had cause to require some course correction query the Great Unravelling™ of 2021, I am so glad that it has not robbed me of entertaining dreams. Last night, I was at lunch in a group with Professor Dame Hermione Lee, where it was revealed she had a new death metal album coming out

Mary: I'm box-office gold, so it's shared billing now, God(the)Father. If Paul Newman and Steve McQueen could agree to it for The Towering Inferno, then so can we.

For the past six months I’ve had a tambourine in the boot of my car that jingles every time I go over a speed bump, and I think this is the kind of everyday whimsy we all need more of in 2025.

I've no clue as to what title Jesus might have, but this guy and me very nearly had an audience with him when *this guy* realised he was in the wrong lane on the roundhabout so just went into the right one. At speed, right in front of me.
"Collision warning!" flashed the dashboard
"No shit", I hawed

Burlar blur tit has returned - with additional camouflage. Not really necessary though as he has taken to banging on the window with his beak.

Thanks to fireworks exploding literally over our roof last night, Glinda sequestered herself in her "fuck this" box-bed under our bed.
When it began to rain she rejoined us on the sofa.
Later, she got into the festive spirit.

Since fireworks are literally exploding over our roof, we're also lucky that our dog doesn't care about fireworks. She was off her baps on morphine the first night she spent with us - Halloween 2014.

I presume the 'Andrew, formerly known as Prince' gags have already begun?
How about 'persona non garter'?
I hope that Mr Mountbatten Windsor has been despatched to a different Sandringham Estate: a crumbling tower block full of squatting djs, their 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘧s echoing like the tell - tale heart.

Tis the season, I've just rewatched The Blair Witch Project for the first time in years.
I thought it was crap the first time but it is creepier than I remember. But I did have a laugh at Heather's sort of anti-Oscar speech: "I'd like to apologise to Josh's Mom, and Mike's mom. And my mom..."
