Cabin Pressure Christmas :-)
Cabin Pressure = a thing of joy and hilarity forever!
I would actually reccomend you go back and start listening to Cabin Pressure from the first episode to get a taste for it before listening to this:
Though you may please yourself in this respect.

Hello.
Been reading Bear Grylls's book, Mud, Sweat and Tears - quite a good read, actually - and he hasn't eaten anything totally disgusting yet, in case you're wondering: so far it's mostly descriptions of gruelling SAS training and stuff.
But as I was reading along about Bear's education and early life, one thing jumped out at me. Bear Grylls went to Eton College!
WAITAMINUTE... Benedict Cumberbatch went to Eton College! Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, Prince William... going fictional here... Captain Hook, Bertie Wooster, Psmith, Poirot's friend Hastings, James Bond! All Old Etonians!
Who wants to come camp in Windsor with me?

It's December! Deck the halls already!
Hello!
I've decided to deluge you with Christmas themed clips from different things ALL DECEMBER this year, so be prepared!
Sadly, I couldn't actually find anything with an embedding code available for last year's Christmassy movie Nativity! So here's a link. And another link. Sorry.
As for the film itself... it's a gigantic, predictable, silly British cheese-fest of cheesiness. But if you love to watch Martin Freeman being adorable, children singing and dancing, British sentimentality and ridiculousness... then you'll have a happy, cheesy, adorable time watching it.

The Dog Days are OVER!
This is a blog post for no apparent reason. I feel happy this evening.I should probably go and study and make/eat some dinner, get into pajama gear, and drink some tea.
Positive interactions with other human beings ftw.
Did you know I'm related by marriage to a baronet? A descendant of Anthony Trollope, no less. My great aunt Mary was a Lady Mary and her husband was a Sir Anthony. That is cool, no?

Currently listening to:
He walked as if on air, and the whole soul had obviously expanded, like a bath sponge placed in water.
