How else are they going to get rid of the vape fumes? The hierarchy of need in a heatwave must be vaping>selling vapes>removing vape fumes>keeping cool.

ENG won that but DRC were great. If DRC had won that it would have been well deserved. Next: ENG vs Mexico in Mexico. Let's see how that goes... Good/sad to see that in the 30+ yrs I've been following international football ENG men are still less than the sum of their part. Time to copy the women

Not that anyone needs the gaze/approval of the opposite (or indeed same sex) for validation. But when incels say women aren't interested in them, perhaps it's time for some introspection and reappraisal of whose advice you're listening to. Be a Harry.

In a world where you could be an Andrew Tate, be a Harry Styles instead. One personifies toxic masculinity and makes the world's vaginas clamp shut. The other is so confident and comfortable in his sexuality and identity that women and girls of all ages flock to him. Lad is a whole green flag.

In other news, I bought a takeaway coffee in my local Tesco as part of a meal deal. We're 3 days away from March and they're still using the Christmas cups. I approve. Turns out, in Stockers (the new Berlin) it's always Christmas and we reduce unnecessary waste. A veritable inverse Narnia.

Anyway. Back home for a brew and then bed. No longer the blanket/coat while kipping on a pal's sofa. Happy new year one and all. May 2026 be less shitty than all its predecessors (though who are we kidding, eh? We know it's going to be utter bobbins).

A whole year workshopping this: Coldplay, some shite, Big Ben, Bollywood, some other stuff. Anyway, what does New York do? "Off the end; off the Hudson, who knows?!". That's the discussion. No one knows. Too many hours drinking to understand.

If I accidentally answered the door to the PM while in my pants I'd not just wish him on his way. That's why Alan's crush is a whole red flag. Why's she not got some policy questions for him?

Emma Thompson was about a year older than me when this was filmed. And she's absolutely *stun*. Give the babe an award; would *kill* for the thick hair and beautiful skin. Alan, meanwhile, was a total babe IRL but a total twat in this film. The kid with Liam Neeson as his da is well annoying.

Kate Weir @widemouthfrog.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Kris Marshall finding that women in the US also found him a bit cringe, a bit annoying, would have been an infinitely better storyline than him becoming a sex god in Wisconsin. But Richard Curtis is basic, so that was never going to happen.

FAAAAACKING HELL the Martine McCutcheon being "chubby" with "huge thighs" storyline gets worse each year. The poor lass is *stunning*, and what - a size 8 to 10? But OH MY GOD SHE HAS BOOBS AND HIPS. Outrageous. Fat old bint. (Je blague, obviously).

Stockport when anyone ever says it's the new Berlin and what a blueprint for regeneration of shit northern mill towns looks like. Stockers: "They're all of me... But you never talk to me. You always talk to [Manchester]... you don't like me..." The world: "It's a self-preservation thing you see".

I have made a #DuvetKnowItsChristmas bingo card! And done alt text on it (as everyone else should, if they're able).

A five by five grid drawn on a pad, like a classic bingo card.
Top row: gym equipment, taxidermy, sofa bed, attic, large collection of jigsaws
Second row: too much crafting stuff, bookcase of 70s/80s classics, electronic drum kit, black & decker workmate, folded towels
Middle row: lounge sleeping, bed next to fridge, *DUVET*, caravan, old cuddly toy
Fourth row: 80s tv/film-related bed linen, garage sleeping, adult in child bed, scary dolls, bed under desk
Bottom row: sleeping bag, brass instrument, own house but not own bed, inappropriate electrical points, Proper Cancellation Stuff...

Tl;dr: a shit film with some great actors and a masterpiece in "feelings" from Thompson. The kid is well annoying though. Even if he did just lose his mother.

My annual hate watch of Love Actually is here. Every year, the Kris Marshall and Chiwetel Ejiofor love triangle and Martine McCutcheon being coded as fat become more ridiculous/outrageous. Yet every year, Emma Thompson's secret bedroom crying and bedspread smoothing gets me more than the last.

The Euston Dash is especially Eustony, especially dashy, this evening. Friday night. Trains before and after mine were cancelled. Seven minutes from calling the platform to the doors closing. Every Manc understands, but we definitely don't need the increased capacity that HS2 would have brought

I don't wish to sound boastful, but when I bought a portable aircon in 2022 loads of people took the piss. Who's laughing now, eh? It's 32 degrees outside and my bedroom is a lovely 18 degrees. The rest of the upstairs is pushing 30 degrees. I'm happy, cats are happy. Best daft purchase of my life.

All in aid of this: catproofing for this adorable wobbly idiot. He's incredibly nosey but he's far too wobbly to ever be allowed out unsupervised (he's got cerebellar hypoplasia; he's not a drunk) but he REALLY wants to explore.

I had that ceiling skimmed less than 12 months ago as well. Money's on one of the OG Victorian ceilings giving way next. I don't know about you but I just love a bit of horse hair and lathe plaster landing on my bonce while I binge watch Bergerac.

Look, I'll even take a few days of rain here and there. All I'm asking for is a summer of mostly warm temperatures with lots of dry days and no extreme heat/cold/rain/wind. Yanno, like it should be (in our minds).

Kate Weir @widemouthfrog.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

I would be extremely happy if it could stay at this temperature (23 to 28 Celsius), sunny, with minimal rain until October, please. Could even go a touch warmer. Thanks in advance (even though I know that we will oscillate wildly between 8 degrees and 40 degrees between now and then).

Define "liberal elite". Because unless we're talking about being elite at log-end darts, climbing chimneys or working in mills then I'm not sure that using a still from a drama about working class Northerners from 100ish years ago is really supporting the T*legraph's mental gymnastics.
