@sarajcox Spending Christmas snowed in on campus at University but locked out of my accommodation. A few of us ended up spending Christmas and Boxing Day stuck in the only place with heating - the food hall. We only had water to drink and (hundreds of) Abbey Crunch biscuits to eat 🫤

22.00 FILM: JOHN WICKES
Having defeated all the assassins who invaded his house the former hitman has to call in a marker with a home improvement retailer for an urgent delivery. Will his DIY skills be good enough to fix his home base? Or will it end with housebarrassment.

@MrMichaelSpicer Bravo! 👏 This left a real impression(-ism) on me 🤣 The trouble is I'm now expecting to find either a gallery exhibition of photos of VAR decisions being explained by Will Gompertz and/or to see the flipside - Ian Wright deconstructing some Art(-eta) at the Emirates 😉

@ceefaux Useful to have the blonde bombshell that is @VictoriaCoren presenting - but best not to poke her 😉

19:30 CATCH-FRAISE
Seattle-based radio psychiatrist's show giveaway segment where the successful caller has to frantically shout "I'M LISTENING" without being cut-off to win a French, strawberry-patterned silk scarf once owned by Isadora Duncan. Ooh, la la!

@WarwickshireCCC @george_garton Initially I mistook the headline here as a tongue-in-cheek dig at the (mis-)management of @SussexCCC 🫢 Sad to see you leave the south coast @george_garton but best of luck with bat and ball at your new home 🏏

@ceefaux In honour of my Fanstasy Football team name...
17:00 DE ZERBI GOES ONANAS
1-0 up at Old Trafford, the manager of Brighton loses control as 20 minutes of added time will be played. In despair he starts flailing his arms frantically but to no avail, mimicking Man Utd's goalkeeper.

Not so much listening on @Spotify for me in 2023, but a distinct drop in street cred and rise in '70s and 80's nostalgia 🥴 #SpotifyWrapped

@ceefaux 19.00 FILM: SCONE WITH THE WIND
Scarlett and Sally, inspired by the works of Margaret Mitchell and Miguel de Cervantes, have a tilt at converting a windmill into a traditional Cornish tea room. But their fruit preserve supplier Frankie, doesn't give them jam.

@HistoryMartin The UG Sport Geography module I currently teach was inspired wholly by John’s trailblazing work on sport, space and place. I only met him a few times but he always struck me as a kind and spirited pathfinder championing new ways to think differently about sport. A sad loss. RIP.
