It's payday tomorrow, so I blew £££ at Lakrids by Bülow, because I deserve a tasty advent calendar. (Last time I treated myself to one, I spent December in hospital, which is not the best environment for enjoying tasty liquorice.)

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I bought some cheap cutlery from Argos 29 years ago. It's still going strong (although it is now my second-best cutlery). And I bought a pair of jeans 35 years ago that came with a free sweatshirt. I still wear it.

What item has given you best value in terms of use? I bought a secondhand Herman-Miller Aeron chair for about £500 in ~2009. Must have used it nearly every day since. Reckon it has another fifteen years in it.

Argh. Had a bloke knock on the door and offer to fix my leaky guttering. It was £25, he was working next door, I've been meaning to get the guttering done, so sure. And then he comes back saying, oh, no, the slates have dropped, the rain is running into my loft, it needs to be fixed urgently.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Some experts say the cats have been fed. Speak to the cats themselves, however, and you'll hear a different story. One that may shock you. On our new, six part podcast, we ask the big question: In the war between experts and cats... ...just who can we truly believe?

My mum often talked about Uncle Arthur, a friend of her grandfather. I was so excited when I worked out he was Arthur Rostron, commodore of the Cunard Line. And then I discovered this was him.

Guarantee you that pretty much no-one who bought a "Proud of the BBC" t-shirt would wear it in public now

“Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Edward the Confessor’s dead?” “Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “What about Harald Hardrada?” “He’s dead, Dave. Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Not King Harold?” “Yes, Dave. King Harold’s dead, Dave. Everybody is dead, Dave.”

I want both hoodies. I already have vast numbers of hoodies. Can you have too many hoodies?

For those admiring the Trinity House socks a few months ago. They've not put the socks up in the shop I'm afraid, but there are hoodies. shop.trinityhouse.co.uk/categories/7
