This is the one thing we didn’t want to happen.

In 1999, he was elected provincial prior of the Midwest Augustinians. A year into the role, he permitted a priest who sexually abused minors to live in a Chicago rectory half a block from a Catholic school, at the archdiocese's request.

Great plan. Assume we will also be sending them down them mines aged 5, otherwise this isn’t going to help for a few decades…

I was amused that both this year’s and last year’s Eurovision music videos for Cyprus featured hotels. I’ve research it. They were filmed at the same hotel.

Meme with screenshots from the 2024 and 2025 Cyprus music videos in hotels and the caption “Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture”. In the second panel a woman is saying “They’re the same Hotel.”

The Guardian’s economic headlines drive me up the wall

Headline from 9th Jan: Pound dips to 14-month low as bond sell-off piles pressure on Rachel Reeves

Headline from 15th Jan: Unexpected drop in inflation lifts pressure on Rachel Reeves

Headline form 13th Feb: UK economy grows by 0.1% in unexpected boost for Rachel Reeves

Headline from today: UK economy shrinks unexpectedly in blow to Rachel Reeves

Just seen that the OG Emperor Palpatine Clive Revill has passed away - and realised I’m currently wearing a shirt with him on.

Finally caught up with the rest of this week’s #Melfest and ZOMG they got Uffe Persson in person! And he can still do the weird head choreo!

Getting my head round the Dolly Style lineup ahead of their return to #Melfest. So… there have been 3 Hollys, 4 Mollys, 4 Pollys, and now they are a quartet with the addition of Yolly - who was previously the second Molly.

My last 4 Crystal Palace parkrun times: 27:27, 27:28, 27:28, 27:29. Ridiculous. Especially as today was with the dog and I lost up to a minute stopping for her…

Delighted to have got my best time in over 6 years at parkrun this morning (slightly assisted by the dog dragging me at points). That one (October 2018 in Copenhagen) was also my last under 26 minutes which I’m determined to achieve again one day.

I don’t see the Mail much, thankfully, but this is how mendacious that headline is: it’s about a rate increase that could put the duty over £400 but happily implies Labour are adding that amount. As it happens it’s also based on long-haul and my family never had a long-hail holiday!

Urgh. Trying to buy a copy of Catch-22 online but the seller won't post it until I’ve paid and I won’t pay until I’ve received it.

These made-up gay porn titles in Prime Suspect 3 are my new favourite thing in all television.

VHSes with titles such as “On Your Knees, Boy”, “Foreskin Fiesta”, “Everhard”, “Gayracula”, “The Lads Are Coming”, “Mouthful”, “Blown Away 3”
