How remarkable! The Guardian reports that a very tidy mouse has been cleaning up a workbench every night: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/07/mouse-secretly-filmed-tidying-mans-shed-every-night

We’ve recently finished season 2 of the excellent Netflix series ‘Dark’. It’s mind-bendingly fantastic. We were looking for something to watch after finishing Stranger Things, and my partner in crime and awesome TV series finder suggested this. It really fit the bill. Set in the fictional German town of Winden, it follows the stories of […]
Fascinating, unguarded comments from Kenneth Clarke and Michael Rifkind on camera in Sky’s studios. Very unfair, and a serious breach of trust, if they weren’t informed that the cameras were rolling. Ken Clarke and Malcolm Rifkind filmed in Sky News Westminster studio making remarks about Tory leadership candidates https://t.co/SywJXdMvH6 — Sky News (@SkyNews) July 5, […]
I’ve still not started watching GoT, but I admit I’m running out of reasons not to, and Laurie Penny has added a few more in the Statesman: What sets it apart is not the monsters, the nudity or the festering gallons of gratuitous gore, but the overwhelming sense that the plot got run off […]

A colleague mentioned change and this video from the last general election coverage by RTE’s ‘The Eleventh Hour’ popped into my head. Apropos the upcoming election, best comment: “if only the government was as good as this video”
Fascinating. A potted biography of the miscellaneous other priests that populated life on Craggy Island. I’m guessing that everybody knows about the back stories of the famous actors who played Bishop Jim Brennan (Jim Norton) and Frs Fintan Stack (Brendan Grace), Noel Furlong (Graham Norton) and Todd Unctious (Gerard McSorley). And that Clare Grogan from […]
