Russian state TV on the new world order: "Now everything is being decided inside a big triangle: Russia, China & the US. Within this, the new construction of the world will come to fruition. The EU as a united political force no longer exists..." ['News of the Week', Russia-1]

Poor Exeter. Didn’t like the gamesmanship of the Forest goalie and the Exeter keeper tried his best but he looked about five foot tall!

I was astonished to turn the telly on at 10.50pm and see a football match still in full swing. I wonder if that’s a record for the latest ever FA Cup game finish?

It’s dangerous territory. I salute your steadfast odyssey through the TOTP archive. But take care. And always keep a spare cheeseboard handy.

Three-quarters through already and loving it Mark. Beautifully written, thought-provoking and joining so many dots together (#ghosts). Now I don’t feel so weird for loving an LP that I first heard 40 years ago. Thank you.

Interesting email from Microsoft this morning. It led me to imagine a world where I could send an email to all my clients informing them that I’m increasing my fee by 45.5% “and don’t worry, I’ll just take the new amount out of your bank account on the same date each month”. Then I woke up. 🤪

Still up and not coming down until next weekend! I have an odd relationship with Christmas where I don’t look forward to it and find it difficult to fully enjoy, but then don’t want to let go of it - especially the lights and the ornaments🎄

Unfortunate juxtaposition on the BBC News website today.

So ‘Lord’ Mandelson is our new ambassador to the US. As a young journalist, I sat next to him at a business lunch back in the 1990s and he was horrible to me. I’ve heard similar stories and suspect that Pete is one of those politicians who doesn’t really care about anyone who isn’t useful to him. 😘

We had a brilliant time at the Christmas At The Botanics light show at Edinburgh’s Royal Botanic Garden this evening. I was a bit sceptical beforehand as to whether it would be worth the effort to head into town - but it really was magical. Well done @thebotanics.bsky.social. Nice marshmallows too.

Great to be connected again! I’m still on X but never post any more and, whenever I do have a look, I just get posts from angry West Ham fans or road rage videos!

Hi Chris! Hopefully I’ll see your posts now - X had become so rubbish!
