So much love and respect to @thehornesection.bsky.social and @alexhorne.bsky.social for not only an incredible achievement but also remaining so amazingly good-natured despite the chaos. You deserve many, many high fives from my daughter, the escape artist baby! Sleep well tonight!

Even Greg on bongos won't placate me, Channel 4.

They could have WALKED to the studio by now. It took me less time to get home and I live 40 miles away. Poor boys.

If Channel 4 have ballsed up the schedule and logistics so badly that they are making those poor boys sing for another fucking hour, I am furious. Willip is broken. Alex has no voice (yet is somehow still polite and sweet). LET THEM SLEEP

Ha, Alex asked another child for a high five and immediately got one. It's just my child who is stingy with them.

Me rocking the baby to sleep this evening with my eyes closed, foaming slightly at the mouth as I sing: "Well your friends with their fancy persuasion..."

You've had it in your head this morning? How long's that been going on, then?

French still uses singular 'your' in that circumstance because each individual person listening only has one head. If it were 'legs', it would be the plural 'your'.

Seriously, if anyone isn't watching this, do yourself a favour and watch it. It is so fucking silly and these boys are wonderful silly boys and I love it SO much.

I'm enjoying how often the Taskmaster Advent Calendar makes me swear at Alex Horne, the crafty bugger.

Well, I know what I'm doing tomorrow during the baby's nap. Always appreciate the opportunity to crack out my various American accents.

"Yes, ma'am, they're all in the stable, and a bunch of shepherds turned up to visit- yeah, you heard right, shepherds. It all looks sketchy to me."

I showed this story to Mr Zoe.

Me: I bet I know what half the people are using those 75 min slots for, hur hur!
Mr Zoe: Oh yeah! A lunchtime nap!
Me: ...yes. Yes, that is definitely what I meant.

Over 80% of the Christmas cards my 6yo has received from boys in her class were written by their mums. Almost none of the ones from girls were. Why are we priming them for weaponised incompetence so young (or at all, of course)? They can write their own damn cards to their classmates.

Heads-up to anyone who got a measles vaccine as a child: You can get a titer test to make sure you still have immunity! My doctor suggested this a few months ago, and I needed another shot. Vaccines are good!

For those who don’t know, Charlie Brooker creator of Black Mirror et al designed this logo for Computer Exchange when he worked for them in the 90s. I believe he was paid Β£1,000 and they haven’t updated it since
