Curmudgeon with hobbies: witty banter, UK canals, Britcoms, Sci‑Fi, tech overlord, history wizard—and any meal I don’t have to cook.

@rainbowlollies My grandmother was a voracious mystery reader. Her friend ran the local library and slipped her new books before they were even cataloged. Grandma returned them days later—every one finished. Even Evelyn Wood would’ve wished she could read that fast. 😁

Friday the 13th walks into a bar. Bartender says, “Why the long face?”
Mirror behind the bar cracks up.

🚨BREAKING: Trump unveils a bold TERM LIMITS plan — 6 years for House, 12 for Senate — wiping out up to 73% of career politicians and “draining the swamp.” 318 reps. 46 senators. Gone. Do you support this? A. YES 🇺🇸 B. NO

@MbarkCherguia With the rarest exception, any comedian who vanishes once you remove extreme crude subjects, ideology, comedic vanity, and weak timing, delivery, or creativity is not funny.

I remember winters when, after a long cold snap, the town pond would be packed with skaters. This winter? Not one person in sight. ☹️

With the exception of February, that has to be up there with one of the best years I’ve had so far

Over Christmas, I’ll watch my favorite specials. Just realized my top 3—Scrooge (Alistair Sim), Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong—are all based on the same story. It only took a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Specials to reveal it to me. 👻

There’s nothing like wriggling on your back under a pre-lit Christmas tree with a voltage tester, hunting for that one bulb nestled deep within the branches that the cat managed to loosen.
