OK, here it is, this year’s update.

New on the BLOG: A Life In Pictures, December 2021 update https://t.co/txIe7IK9jb

As always, there are new photos for which the advice “Mocking may now commence…” not only applies, but is positively obligatory.

Enjoy.

ICYMI, yesterday on the BLOG | 2022 minus 01: Well, that’s it https://t.co/Hw8t4Rbe9i

The final post of #2022minus, wishing goodbye to this raging trash fire of a year, the end of which I may not be the only one eagerly anticipating.

“What’s your New Year’s resolution?” asked Piglet.
“Hmmm,” said Pooh, “I think to enjoy every tiny moment of joy life has to give and be kind to everybody I meet, what’s yours?”
Piglet thought for a while then said proudly, “Probably to spend less on cocaine and hookers…”

If you want the former sentiment you need to add extend the phrase thusly: 'Bugger all this'. (It is almost mandatory to add 'for a lark'.)

[Adrian Bott @Cavalorn]

Tip for non-UK people who are trying to write UK slang: 'bugger all' does not mean 'to hell with everything', it means 'none'.

[Lee 'Budgie' Barnett @budgie]

@TheSimonEvans @twlldun Ah, hell…

I mean, not a tragedy as such, but dammit, 2021… did you bloody have to?

[Lee 'Budgie' Barnett @budgie]

Oh my. I’d genuinely completely forgotten this.

farewell then 2021, you insane bastard of a year

Presumably on 28 October, he’ll tweet:

My response to the (weird) greeting 'Happy Birthday': 'Thank you but I pay absolutely no attention to ‘my birthday’, an empty date which I associate with the emperor Nerva being forced by the Praetorian Guard to adopt Trajanus as his heir.’

[Meryl O'Rourke @MerylORourke]

HNY you lot. If like me, you have a bad head, you can either see this as a curtain closing, or just another day. You're under no pressure to enjoy yourself.

@JoshMalina While I think of it, a genuine & heartfelt Thank You for your feed this year. Both serious & silly, there have been times when it’s lightened the load just a bit this year.

Thank you, Mr M. Hope you & yours have a year to come of more fun, more joy and more wonder than in 2021…

[Lee 'Budgie' Barnett @budgie]

@JoshMalina @rabbishira @MAZONusa Done; dunno how I missed doing so when you first mentioned the podcast. Bad budgie.

[Lee 'Budgie' Barnett @budgie]

Sparked by a tweet, and since it’s a bugbear of mine.

Re “Breaking News” and chyrons/rolling newsfeeds at the bottom of the screen on tv news channels.

For how long after something big happens (NOT a new DEVELOPMENT, but The Event itself) is the news actually “breaking”? #poll

@carolynryan @marymcnamara @washingtonpost One of the lovely quirks of history involving names: British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown? Like some others in British politics, he didn’t use his actual first name… James.

So, yes, the UK had Prime Minister James Brown.

(No, we didn’t all ‘…feel good!’, before you ask.)
