aw!

someone in the flat above is playing "Have yourself a merry little xmas" on the piano. For real. With lots of jazzy variations. It's lovely! I an having an incredibly lazy day. Also lovely.:)

I did pay my TV license for this!

Has anyone noticed that despite all the protestations over the Beeb going puritan post Ross n Brand gate, this yar's XmasTV is full of unexpected rudeness?

Stephen Fry on QI explaining the language of fans (sic): *waving pretend fan vigorously* "Across a crowded ballroom, this means, do you swallow?"

Andrew Neil on that weekly news programme, the one with Michael Portillo and Diane Abbott and clearly a few drams to the worse:  *after an Abba tribute intro reprising "Gimme Gimme a Man After Midnight!" (don't ask why)* : "Michael Portillo's favourite Xmas tune!"

'Frankly I'm relieved the Beeb still has a spirit of impetuous insult!
