Will yap on (with only the slightest encouragement) about film, cats, comedy, music, manners, vanity, ego, and estate agents. I don't know if 25th Hour or The Shining is the best film ever made.

No humility from Alan Shearer.

If VAR had been in place tonight, they would have been given a penalty.

But no, he can't help but turn that into a bizarro further criticism of VAR, desperate not to let grip of his argument.

All for ego.

Their first goal wouldn't have stood either.

Christmas alone means the pick of what to watch and eat.

First up this morning, The Shop Around The Corner, with Jimmy Stewart and Margaret Sullivan.

This drives me nuts. Years ago, the French banned noisesome fireworks, because of their impact on animals.

It speaks plenty to the minds of those who have such a thirst for bangs and flashes.

We have the silent option, and now we have drone displays too.

I hope you all get some rest and calm.

Photo I took about 15 years ago, of Ben.

Used the image for our Christmas card photo a year later.

Much too spooky. He'd be restricted to daylight toileting with me!

Ah, the traditional Christmas Eve stare-at-nothing-on-the-ceiling-to-freak-your-human-out moment.

Three minutes so far.

Initially this sounds likely but, on further thought, he was actively looking for a musician and it was a busy time in that area. I think he'd have found someone else. Very probably with only an ounce of Marr's talent though. Perhaps a b-list indie band, which would still be popular of course.

I am giddy with excitement to see Tuppy's obvious disdain/indifference to the presents I've bought her.

Really ties the day together and makes it all worthwhile.

We truly are living in some dystopia of greed. Outrageous.

Started my Christmas films for the year. 23 of them; a number of which I've never seen. Including this one
What an interesting film. It keeps a lot of the gravity and grit of the original story, in a family film. No wink-wink, just raw detail.
Funny, catchy songs and charming.
And Beaker.

I suppose you could just continue that rule, dropping the indefinite articles of 'A', and 'An'.
As long as you remember it, no probs. You'll be comfortable.
It would drive me crazy! Only the 'The' gets dropped for me.

This Sporting Life should be under 'T' really. I think you've stretched the "disregard 'The'" rule a little too far there. Just a thought.

I always see these 'it was best when...' posts and know i can age them.
Either in their 70s, or the simping child of someone in their 70s (probably their father).
Bleuch. Get a grip.

Although I think there are plenty, this is my prime argument against the lazy thinking you hear about remakes never being as zzzz...

Congratulations. I'm truly in awe that anyone can achieve like this.
Have you considered a chain of symbols that you could add to ask each year passes? You could start with like a daisy/star/heart chain of 19, going around your other wrist.

So handsome. And yet has a strong 'leader of the bad alley cats in Tom & Jerry' vibe!

If you want evidence the world is getting dumber, just look at the high use of the word "deserve" in adverts.

Years ago, grifting salesmen using that were laughed at and pitied. Now we lap it up. 'Yes. They're right. My Christmas *does* deserve music and my music *does* deserve Bose'.

Fuc's sake.

If TV execs really knew what they were doing, they'd pay Harry Hill ANYTHING he wants to make a TV Burp for New Year's Day every year, reviewing the slush from the previous fortnight.

From the same brain that brought you "Why are films over 90 minutes?! That's an impossible level of concentration needed!"...

Margin Call is one of the finest, sharpest films on the matter (fction).
Capital In The 21st Century is a blinding documentary.

Might as well put the insurance claim in now.
