Common house spiders. We've had a lot of rain lately so they're obviously looking for a warm dry refuge.

Have to feel a bit sorry for our spider living in the UK if warmth and dryness is what they like.

Make a little cotton wool nest for it and take it up to Tino's. Pretty sure he'll have some space in the shed for it.

In amongst the thimble collection.

Maybe I could smuggle my kid into his house, doubt he'd notice with the multitudes he has rampaging about.

Happy Birthday, Galted!

I left a present for you out in the corridor. Maybe take the cat out for an inspection walk and collect it when you get a chance.

Thanks, PJ. It's just what I've always wanted.

I'm glad you like it. Those personalised Dave Warner punching bags were almost out of stock.

He wasn't great in Mary Poppins Returns, but that's taking it a bit far.

I thought it was a very niche sex toy.  Couldn't figure out how you empty it.

Just turn him upside down... then stand back.

Solstice Fist

I can never remember if it's the longest or shortest fist of the year.

Galted wrote:I can never remember if it's the longest or shortest fist of the year.

Depends if you fist in the dark or the light I guess

Long fist here, short fist for you Galts.

So only 3 months until the equinox fist then which is usually less painful for all of us.

Not sure about that PJ, there's an element of discomfort in both the Vernanal and Autumnanal equinoxes.

Hello Jules. I was reading about that earlier but happy you've brought it to the wider audience.

I have also been to the Sedgwick Museum more than once so delighted it is heading there. I shall make a visit next year and report back.

Fortunately next year is only 11 days away, otherwise I fear I may have died of excitement before then.

I won't be going that early, Jules. I don't think it will even be there in 11 days so don't die waiting on me.

I can keep you entertained with regular Dyson v11 Absolute updates?

For the love of Hades... open your eyes.

What's that bug that is like a centipede just with really long legs that lives in caves?

If that doesn't lure Tino off the cricket boards nothing will.

Fun fact: I originally typed 'Tino of the cricket boards' which is just as valid a statement.

I think you might mean the scutigera? It is actually a type of centipede.

One of the few things I've ever seen Steve Backshall properly creeped out from.

They are pretty horrible looking things.

I'd appreciate it if you would now refer to me as Tino of the cricket boards moving forward.

Thanks very much.

Tino of the crickets

And yes - scutigera, thanks.

When the boys were younger we went to a couple of the really wild show events. Backshall comes across really well. The blond who co presented not so much.

He's great. A firm favourite in the Windows household.

Went to see him at Whipsnade zoo once which was great. Did a snake handling display and some falconry which was just brilliant. Stayed around for absolutely ages afterwards answering questions and signing stuff. To the point where he was ignoring his agent (I assume) who was trying to hurry him along.

He is a top human being.

Festive fist, just to wish you all a very merry Xmas, and hope you all have a great day, as I will not be on later today or tomorrow.

Same to you, Rick.

Tinselly tird.

Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin' Stevens.

War is over.

I see that Tino of the cricket board has now become Tino of the he Last Film watched (CONTAINS A LOT OF SPOILERS) board.  Bit hurt that he doesn't get us going in the morning with a quick fist before he heads off to continue his online grooming of unwary posters.

At least I caught it and not Jules.

I won't carry it around for months like he would. Plus I think I like you a little more than he does. Just the impression I get from him.

I think he tolerates us and nothing more. There is not much love there.

I don't know why. We are both incredibly erudite and charming. And (probably) dashingly handsome as well.

Perhaps he sees us as a threat to his reputation as a wordsmith.  That would certainly explain why he tries to undermine us with his pedantry and abuse.

I think you might be on to something.

Hopefully he reads this and realises that it isn't just words on a screen. There are people with real feelings and emotions on the end of his cutting comments.

Maybe we will see a much more tolerant and inclusive Jules next year.

I hope so, Tino. My door will always be open to him, no matter how many times he may wound me.

It has been a pleasure talking to you this morning, Galted.

It reminds me of the old Culture Cup Rd 6 that was the genesis of the Tea Society that followed.

Just a couple of sophisticated raconteurs holding court. Two heavyweight intellects finding a common ground for our thoughts.

Very much so, I imagine that this is what a conversation between Leonardo da Vinci and Steven Gerrard would be like.

And one of those heavyweights knowing when to start a new post rather than adding to the previous pile to make it easier for the many, many people reading this on their mobile devices.

Galted and Tino of the Cricket Board - apologies for intruding on your heavyweight intellectual discussions but thought I would look in here for any Truly Scrumptious posts this week. Alas not to be.

I couldn't love you any more than I currently do after that, GB.

Even the insult hasn't dampened that love.

I thought that my wishing Rick a merry Xmas in return was fairly scrumptious. Each to their own, I suppose.
