#bbc_theridge Highly recommended series but after 2 episodes I just don't have any empathy with a drug-addicted anaesthetist who may have killed a patient as the protagonist. Looking forward to the last episode of *Slow Horses* though.

Thank you, Guardian, for the name check of *Cabin pressure* in this interview. I have spent dozens of hour laughing my head off listening to Roger in that series, dubbed the 'best comedy since *Fawlty Towers*. theguardian.com/film/2025/oct/…

*Dangerous animals*, new suspense/horror movie, is going to do what the shark-tourist industry in Australia what *The thing* did for the Antarctic holiday trade....

RAF Luton missed this, but it shows an F16 being towed by a MiG-23 in an early example of post cold war cooperation. The F16 experienced a double flame-out at 7555 feet and the MiG towed it to within gliding distance of AFB Disney. Photographed from a Canberra.

Disclose.tv So Tommy Robinson refusing to hand over his phone almost turned into a “terror” case that’s how far Britain’s gone. Political beliefs now qualify as probable cause. The judge saw through the setup, but the message is clear: dissent equals danger in modern UK.

Unless the Committee is prepared to send written questions for Andrew to answer, Starmer is wrong. There will be US DAs and the like ready to arrest Andrew on sight, for campaigning purposes. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/n…

Play the Guardian's Budget Game: I managed to reduce the fiscal shortfall by £79 billion! But it wouldn't let me increase spending on the NHS. theguardian.com/politics/ng-in…

I gotta stop reacting to the UFO bullshit on my feed, otherwise it's gonna get worse. These people are the stupidest. Them and the flat earthers. They talk with such confidence when they actually know nothing.

Heartfelt thanks to Alex Petridis for this collection of some of Roy Wood's best songs in the Guardian!! theguardian.com/music/2025/dec…

Just settling down to watch that well known Christmas movie, *Die hard*, on my 140" home movie screen, sound courtesy of my KEF LS60 speakers. One of those occasions when my life doesn't suck!
