it’s Big Sam until the end of the season

on the gardening point… it’s a start! my first ever bulbs have come up! now to see if i can, over time, wrest having a nice climbing plant behind them back from the evils of powdery mildew

delighted that this fella's on here

made cassoulet from scratch for the first time and i’m incredibly pleased with how the whole thing, but especially the confit duck, turned out

only i solider on

apropos of this, it’s been announced that h will be staying up and sleeping on the couch sunday night so she can watch the halftime show, a thing she has never done pre bad bunny

oh it’s absolutely magic, she had listened to like three songs beforehand and then was like ‘so this is our night now’

H had a terrifying case of this the entire time we were in mexico city

Cold out today Reds, defo worth getting a Jacquet

jovial boomer lib catholicism is desperately underrated

where we’re going you won’t need comment to be freed

i’m not saying that @colmpm.bsky.social is a massive nerd, not by any means, but he has just explained the plot of ‘event horizon’ while confusing the names laurence fishburne and lawrence freedman the entire time

furiously meditating to become more psychically powerful, and using those powers to make those around me unable to hear anything containing 'mid' or ending in '-er'

i don't think dle earth is mid

marie i regret to inform you that This Is How It Begins

packed in piano as a teenager, keen to pick it back up, if anyone has any good ideas for online courses etc do shout

currently looking for a replacement charger for my old, battered keyboard. have settled on my new year’s resolutions being:

1) get a lot better at gardening
2) learn how to play Warren Zevon’s ‘Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner’ and ‘Werewolves of London’ on piano

don’t understand the middle one - assuming the joke is that you wouldn’t reach the recommended 8-13?

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

wirtz/ekitike combo on two goals… time to get hugely carried away about their chemistry i reckon

the thing i find so weird about it is that it doesn't seem to have that big an impact? i'm thinking of 2004 man utd vs arsenal, or mourinho era chelsea getting up to all sorts of skullduggery - it all was pretty effective! this just comes across as genuine unpleasantness rather than gamesmanship?

martinelli incident tonight just hammers home the fact that arteta has managed to turn a team generally associated with pretty decent football in the premier league era into a team that goes about doing stuff that's both really unpleasant and ultimately ineffectual

westminster cathedral looking lovely for epiphany!

bought a baron bigod, forgot to take it home for christmas, did a little riff on a tartiflette for dinner and it turned out really very good

i love it when tfl decides that your destination is the true name of god

been a banner year for the festive pints

merry christmas marie

i don’t think any wives are mid

#5 sounds really horrible
