Naked Atraction is... errr.... revealing... at several different levels.

See also the ghastly and unfunny Bridget Jones franchise. I enjoy Bridget Jones (well, 1 and 3 anyway). I plead the TRR defence: I've sort of been counting on being able to watch both good stuff and terrible stuff on the telly without it having much impact on whether I am a good or a bad person.

I have never watched SATC. Reading Hadley Freeman, that makes me feel like a less good person; reading you, it makes me feel perhaps not such a bad person....

There is a long-ish flight of steps outside the door of St George's chapel. The pall-bearers (Royal Marines I think) had to carry it up the steps. They managed it perfectly, as you would logically expect. But managing coffins at shoulder height is not trivial - every time a family insist on carrying...

Some of you may recall that I took a funeral qualification and take a smattering of funerals. As a result I am in two different whatsapp groups of fellow funeral celebrants or funeral directors. They both exploded into life at 3pm today with people talking about just one thing: how you safely carry ...

Astra-Zeneca'ds of the world unite.

As I am frequently (and unrepentantly) critical of CUK, can I just say that I actually thought Duncan Dollimore's letter to the Humber Bridge Authority was very good.

For those of you with travel booked, may I ask, is your criterion "as long as the government rules allow it, we're going", or are you going to be applying an extra criterion of your own assessment of risk? Would there be circumstances where the government allowed it but you still decided not to go?

HBTRR!!!

Where do you stand on cloudy strong craft beer? Lockdowns made me a big fan, next batch of NEIPA's, DIPA's and even a TIPA due in an hour, hurrah!

'Tis all double dutch to me. Which is ironic as I'm currently working towards my Licencee qualification and thence my Personal Licence

Does someone have a birthday today? Happy birthday @The Real Ravenhurst

They’ve been worried
about my low blood pressure
but they’ve brought me the Daily Mail
so it’ll be fine in just a moment.

I am now eligible ... and I've managed to book both doses for a day and venue when my wife is doing one of her vaccination shifts....

That is awful at several levels. Fingers crossed indeed.
