I think it's really important to remember that excommunication is a very serious sanction which the church only imposes on people who've done something heinous like *checks notes* marrying a divorcee.

Fave eps from the Channel 4 version of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared... Fourth Place: Work: A great season-opener, giving a gentle (by comparison with some of what comes after it) introduction to the series for new viewers. Fave Thing: ‘The Ultimate Forgiveness’ Fave Line: Mr Peterson’s ‘Whatta guy!’

I bet deep down Damon Albarn is fucking /mortified/ that his multiple albums of interesting, occasionally wonderful, music with Gorillaz have to be accompanied by those fucking third-rate cartoons.

Christmas Links #4

1970: The Office Christmas Party | Man Alive | Classic BBC Documentary | BBC Archive:"It can be the greatest pitfall of the social year. And it can be followed by a 12-month hangover. If your boss hasn't spoken to you since, it's a fair bet that you had a good time at your office Christmas party. Traditionally, it's the one night of the year when the firm's hierarchical structure, that normally so rigidly holds sway, totters towards anarchy. [via LMG]" The Secret History of Santacon, America’s Most Hated Christmas Party:"A new documentary explores the booze-soaked and vomit-slicked gathering’s radical roots." Beware flammable skincare, too many sprouts and overindulging in cheese this Christmas, say health experts:"Some foods can interact negatively with certain medication while medical moisturisers can make clothes more flammable." A controversial infant Jesus is stolen from a Belgian Nativity scene:"Belgian authorities are mystified over a brazen theft over the weekend from a Christmas Nativity scene of an icon of infant Jesus Christ that had been widely scorned online." Refunds wanted after 'awful' Christmas drone show:"People who travelled to a Christmas drone show in West Sussex are demanding refunds after describing the event as "awful" and "shockingly poor." Viral Hype Over Fake Christmas Market at Buckingham Palace:"A fairy-tale image captivates millions: a festively lit Christmas market, framed by stalls, strings of lights, and a magnificent tree–right in front of the world-famous Buckingham Palace. The images quickly spread on social media. But anyone tempted to travel to London by this scene was bitterly disappointed. This Christmas market doesn’t exist." Is Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmastime' simply… horrible?"There are almost certainly worse holiday songs than Paul McCartney's 1979 "Wonderful Christmastime." But in a genre famous for cheesiness, it stands out as among the most polarizing. And it's notable for being written by the same Beatle who penned "Let It Be" on the band's final album." How sustainable are Christmas trees in Switzerland?"Eco-fir trees are a clear niche in Germany, one of the main suppliers of Christmas trees in Switzerland. Artificial trees are not necessarily sustainable either." Try a traditional Latvian dish this Christmas:"Solstice and yuletide celebration food traditions have changed over time but some nuances have persisted. Ancient beliefs say we should eat plenty to bless the next year." Christmas-themed metro lights up Warsaw underground:"Warsaw’s metro rolled out its annual Christmas-themed train on Monday, adding a splash of festive cheer to the city’s two-line underground network." The nation's favourite Christmas movie has been revealed - and it's not Love Actually:Editor's Note: It came second which is still too fucking high (previously).

BACK ONCE AGAIN! If you're not infuriated by Crossrail - you don't know what it is. I expose WHY it was overdue, overbudget, and over there. CONTAINS STRONG DRUG REFERENCES. To be clear, the drugs are strong - not the references. soundcloud.com/mikeprowseso...

CROSSRAIL

The last British, large-scale infrastructure project which came in on time and under budget was Stonehenge. That's why I've been investigating CROSSRAIL - with SHOCKING revelations about a project th
