Tighter restrictions brought in just a few days before the Covid Christmas Festival kicks off? Odd.

My two albums of this year: It's Only Us by Monophonics Deleted Scenes by Once and Future Band. First one is current soul but could be from the 70s, second one also has a bit of a retro thing going on. Both excellent.

Eating? Once Johnson's lot are finished with Brexit, neeps will probably be currency. Good news if you've stockpiled, right enough.

Yes, the injury situation has been the last thing needed, but it's the manager's job to confront these problems and deal with them. This has clearly not happened. I hope I'm wrong but the chances of a run of good results seems impossible with the mindset/game plans of the manager. New manager, new ideas, new start next season. Unfortunately I can't see it being in League One.

I hope you got your own back. I've not got a wee brother but in early teens I sort of adopted my best pal's and remember putting a pillow over his face until he screamed like a banshee (didn't turn as blue as Shandon Par's hand, thankfully). Probably over a disputed Subbuteo goal. He got his own back later by telling his maw we were looking up dirty words in the dictionary.* If I remember right it was bra.

Do you think they put 'danger of suffocation' warnings on those plastic bags just for the hell of it?

And there's the deadline extension to the deadline being extended.

Nearly choked on my lunchtime dram there, peter!

The years have not been good to ALF.

Well, you know the rules. Photo needed.

Be off with you, you damned squirrel.

Just shout goodbye and don't make eye contact or you run the risk of the dreaded "why don't you pop along and help?" * * Avoid saying "Nah, I'll just tidy up all the shite you leave behind."

Horse. Mrs SL has a horse. Think drugs are expensive? Luckily she doesn't know the extent of my rare vinyl collecting habit.

It's fantastic that the vaccine is now being rolled out but as far as PR stunts go, a weeping Hancock and finding a William Shakespeare getting the vaccine is right up there with this

What a way to start the morning. Thank you.

Total classic!

Back right - Cabinet of Dr Caligari? Braw.

Ah, the missing verse from R Dean Taylor's classic.

Ah, good morning, I will have a packet of tissues and this magazine from your top shelf...

'bin', but only if the goods and delivery service are really, really excellent.

From Reuters site: Brexit trade talks are still stuck on fishing, governance rules and dispute resolution because the European Union is asking too much, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit supremo, Michael Gove, says. Supremo.

I've heard a rumour he's going to do voice overs in that fashion for the Roadrunner cartoons...
