Genuinely very sorry to hear of the passing of Mike Peters. He was a completely lovely bloke who gave my old band more breaks than anyone else. He hired us as his backing band (before regretting it!) and we experienced our first big tour when he invited us to support the Alarm.

I remember when we’d played about 4 gigs on the Alarm tour when we got an encore. We stood around backstage like pillocks as the audience shouted for more, not knowing if we were allowed. Mike appeared in just his undies and kicked us back onstage. Encores every night after that.

That tour was our first experience of places like Barrowlands, Town & Country and Rock City. We’d only played clubs before and playing in front of big, serious crowds made us a million times tighter overnight. Mike gave us the tour after hearing one song. No fuss, just kindness.

Terrible pic, obviously, but I bought one of them £50 projectors off Amazon, gave it my daughter along with an old sound bar and DVD player I had knocking around and she now has a home fucking cinema in her bedroom. Jesus H Bollocks, I spoil my bastard kids.

If fucking idiots like @itvnews just ignored Musk, the stupid little twat would find it much harder to achieve the level of chaos politics he’s aiming at. Proper news channels shouldn’t be playing his game.

Not sure why everyone’s going so mad for A Real Pain. It’s a pleasant enough little film but it’s nothing special. It’s not even funny. It’s just a nice enough way to kill 90 minutes. Has cinema become so moribund that entirely average films are lionised?

I’m working the perineum and I’ve got more done in the last 3 days than I usually manage in a fortnight. So much easier when every bugger leaves you alone. I wish it could be the week between Christmas and new year every day, as Roy Wood should have sung.

A Complete Unknown continues the biopic tradition of showing a series of events that didn’t quite happen like that while never bothering to ask why they happened at all. Chalamet is good, though. The second best onscreen Dylan impression after the unimpeachable Cate Blanchett.

Why the fuck should farmers or those privately educating their kids get tax breaks? This bloke is suggesting the tax increases are red meat to the left, but the original tax breaks were definitely red meat to the right. These fuckers just don’t like it up em.

I have very little emotional or ideological attachment to private education as someone who attended a state comprehensive. But this is just a truly
shocking policy - red meat thrown to the Left, which will have severe ramifications for the state sector.

My first time watching University Challenge with Amol Rajan presenting. He’s absolutely fucking shit, isn’t he? Merry Christmas.

How Does Father Christmas Get Round The Word In One Night?
It’s the big one! Our Urban Mythbuster @AmyLTommo throws a glittery grenade at Martin Taylor of @Hullhistorynews but can he defuse it?

Watching a bogey copy of Gladiator 2 that has an alcohol warning appear in the corner every time someone drinks wine. Yet, intriguingly, there are no similar warnings when someone cuts a head off or bites lumps out of baboons.

Waited half-an-hour to watch the Alistair Sim Scrooge on channel 5 and the dirty bastards are showing a colourised version. Sub-human scum.

Been thinking of buying a 4K Blu-ray player but it means buying a 4K TV as well and it seems like a lot of outlay when my eyes are, at best, 2K these days.

My restaurant review in the Xmas issue of the Yorkshire Post today is the excellent, tiny taqueria Food For Cowboys in Hull and Pub of the Week is The Bear in South Cave.
