Be careful about getting ripped off if you're starting your Christmas shopping.

Last year, I bought a cheap Lindt advent calendar off the local market, and when I opened the doors, there was just a piece of fluff behind every one.

I will snuggle up under some coats (which are kept in the cloakroom, next to the breakfast bar), and maybe have a glass of Zombie as well.

Tonight's viewing.

I'm going on a hill walking holiday on Tiree to mark the occasion.

I like the team name. 😂

This is where Liverpool FC's cup final suits ended up. #totp

"Easy on the swears". From the man who swore repeatedly on a live awards ceremony. #totp

Back in '98, I thought Will Smith was a dick.

Nothing has changed since then. #totp

Apparently they were "Solid HarmoniE", with a capital E at the end. I don't know why. #totp

No, I can't feel it. Please stop. #totp

Your watch is fast, Jayne. #totp

They don't deserve one.

If anyone is wondering who bought this, I did. #totp

No, a different sex offender. Puff Daddy/P Diddy.

I don't remember this at all. Which is a good thing. #totp

I Can't Help Myself is a massive banger. #totp

She was Hungarian. Maybe they were massive over there.

Someone I used to work with told me that Ace of Base were her favourite band of all time.

Which I thought was a brave thing to admit. #TOTP

What happened to "Non Stop Nineties Nostalgia?" #TOTP

I've heard it's still number one, so I'm watching #TOTP for the first time since 1994. Aye, the 1994 repeats, that is.

I've not done #totp on here for ages (because of work), but I noticed that one of tomorrow's episodes is only 20 minutes long. I looked it up and it's because one of the sexual predators is performing.

Do they just cut performances out now instead of dropping whole episodes?

A message from ABBA.

They'll make sure that you're Nobody's Fool.

A screenshot of a shopping list which says "blackcurrant lamb soup".

I asked Google to add Blackcurrant Lemsip to my shopping list. I may need to speak more clearly.

Things I learned today:

The Rolling Stones have had no top ten UK hit singles since 1981.

Fancy that.

It's the fastest, but also slow. 🤔

I can see "the tulips only bloom at midnight" being this winter's most annoying radio advert.

That's me just back from seeing I Swear at the cinema. It was fantastic. I highly recommend it. Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They went downhill after Song Title 3. Although Song Title 11 was pretty good.

Bowie is on for Scotland. Hopefully he can do a Magic Dance through the defence and get a third goal. #TheFitba #ScoBlr
