Today is the shortest day in the northern hemisphere. The winter solstice takes place at 5.11 pm today.
Please have your gongs, whistles and drums at the ready for the moment.

Ooh, Compass looks fun.
For amusement, it says I’m: Green; LD; SNP; Labour; Tory.
It’s got one of those right but I’d probably rejig the others a bit 😉

I got a very similar result to Tim and to be honest it reflects my vote quite closely.

The Compass attributes equal weight to all its questions, hence getting completely the wrong answer for me.
There is precisely no chance I would ever vote Green while they persist in being in favour of “alternative medicine” and so unthinkingly anti-motorist with no positive transport suggestions to make.The only one it got sorta right is to put Tory last – and even that’s neglecting the fact that, if I were the penultimate humanoid on the planet and blue the only box to mark, I’d rather spoil the paper than vote for them. 😉

Thanks for link – got me just about right, which is good as I voted a fortnight ago!

Lib Dems have an Orange Book?! That might of interest to stereotypical fans of the Glorious Glasgow Rangers who can’t support the SNP (non Unionist), Labour (obvious reasons), Tories (too posh) and find themselves unsure of who to vote for with only hours left to decide 😉

Please, lad, quit this continuous and totally wrong identification of Rangers fans as being anti-Labour or even right-winged… you’re talking about that hell of a minority we have at Ibrox who still go on chanting stupid stuff…
Ibrox is FULL of leftists, Labour Party voters, even SNP, which seems to be the common trend. I hardly ever spoken to a Tory Rangers fan…
Glasgow’s a red city, always has been for decades, Rangers are a majority in the city, how come they all be “stereotypical tories”???

As he is almost universally known as Bob, “Bishop Robert” does not roll off the tongue terribly easily. I was met outside the Cathedral by the Dean of the Diocese who gave me strict instructions that once the…

On the bridge of my nose
I suppose you could say that it has been a busy week on the bridge of my nose. From the top, you can see: The glasses that I started with. (Used to be chic) The new retro-tech look for daywear and work. (Chic) The new party glasses. (My goodness how chic is that…

PM at PQ
To Pacific Quay yesterday for the opening of the new BBC building. I was not actually opening it, you understand, merely there to witness the Prime Minister do so. It had not been generally known that the PM was going to be there, but I was alerted to the fact that something was going on…

Computer afternoon
In mild frustration at my new prescription swimming goggles arriving on an afternoon when the pond is designated as women only, I turned to matters of information technology. Now for some time, the computer has been held together with bits of string inside, to which blu-tac was added recently. Indeed, it had getting so hot…
