Currently watching the film Miracle on 34th Street as film 4 have decided it's right for August.

Surprised to see Rupert Murdochs name popping up as proprietor of one of the papers defending Santa.

How times have changed.

I've been tracking how many jump scares I've given people recently.

It's my new hobby of boo keeping.

I had a t-shirt that featured Kermit as Springsteen for a "Born in the S.w.a.m.p" parody cover back in the 80s.

Sadly I went to the cinema to watch that when it came out... It was a birthday "treat".

I always found it funny that Hammond was best known at the time for his role in the sound of music.

Tried creating a video game about a robotic stag but the publishers insisted, to attract female players, there should be a Non-tin doe switch.

I was put on a waiting list last August that was supposed to be about 16 weeks. I started chasing up after 30 weeks and got an email saying "are you sure you really need this?". After replying "yes" I got an appointment after 4 weeks.

Can easily believe that's their technique.

If you use the app they also do the upsell by defaulting to large meal etc.

They also lack the "make it plain" option so you have to manually remove every item.

It's well worth visiting the museum of his work in his hometown of Mora.

It contains a lot of his art pieces.
