Set reveal. Not sure what the connection with the Skateboarders is. Set looks very sparkly and has clean design.

The Modi Question is available to watch on BBC I player.

Things have escalated today. Internet in a large part of Punjab has been cut off. The disgraceful Punjab police have either arrested or are hunting Amritpal Singh. Amritpal has gained notoriety for leading a movement that promotes NOT using drugs and other intioxicants. The actions of the Indian government deserve strict suspicion. Ideally this situation will be calmed quickly. Unfortunately history shows that the  Indian government has a habit of murdering it's own citizens.

Is this going to be an mma match?

Some cool looking character statues from the new film. The pictures are from a promotional event in conjunction with Porsche.

This is causing a bit of a kerfuffle on Twitter.

He's just too good. I turned it off after the tap. Will they try and make the Ngannou fight?

Is that what McGregor was introducing?

Gane has a sit down chat with Cormier. After a bit of hugging. He's a very happy chap is Gane. 

He's definitely coming across as confident. The smarmy prick. Whereas Gane is coming across like he's here for a bit of fun. The editing isn't giving making Gane look dangerous. I want him to win. Unfortunately he's coming across as a bit too cuddly. Physically he looks incredible. A bit like a Rally car that's about to tear up a stage.

A man called Otto. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Moved along a little quickly in places. Supporting cast was very good. Especially the pregnant lady. Tom Hanks made me smile throughout. Lovely film.

Jones is definitely looking bigger. I think I was expecting him to be a bit more cut. 

How much do we think he will weigh on fight night? He's not going to have to worry about the weight limit.

Fight week is here. Countdown link is above. Does anyone know if they'll be doing Embedded for 285? It's been a while since I've watched Embedded.

More great Sami content.

Gunther has an annoying habit of watching his opponent. He'll prepare himself to receive a chairshot before the opponent has begun the swinging motion. Resulting in him watching the incoming furniture assisted attack. He does something similar when he's about to go over the top rope. Sets himself and telegraphs the incoming clothesline. He also goes over the top rope in a unique way, almost as if he's about to step through the middle rope. He'll turn his back to the opponent and execute a strange vault at the point of ejection. Has anyone else noticed this?

I enjoyed the Women's Rumble over everything else. Impressed with the way that Ripley seemed to manage the match. She was also very good in the press conference. Finding a happy balance between kayfabe and the weirdness of a WWE press conference.

They definitely drew me into the Sami story. I'm slightly disappointed that it will know be a clear break for Sami from the Bloodline. In that he won't have one foot on the inside anymore. Those stair bumps by KO were disgusting.

The men's Rumble was disappointing.It had it's high points. I'm not buying into Cody. I find him quite boring and drags other talent down with him. He was quite good at holding sway during the press conference. He also looked absolutely wrecked. He may be trying to hide an injury.

The Pitch Black match was just weird.

They didn't need the women's title match.

Overall a fun show. With a couple of must watch portions.

Spinach wilts very quickly. The water content literally evaporates. If cooking leaf/baby spinach. Only add it in the last two minutes of the cooking process. Otherwise you'll end up wondering what happened to it.

My cousin made a Feta and strawberry salad the other day. Lots of green leaves a bit of dressing. I can't personally atest to it's flavours , as she lives in Kenya. 

Feta goes well with Olives.

Very impressive set up in the above link. Does anyone know what the OSSC gizmo is? Quite clearly a lot of thought has gone into creating this. Will have to try an find a build thread/video.

Not 100% convinced that the vine tomatoes are necessary. Doesn't detract from what would that would be a very impressive spread at a Breakfast buffet. 

Self scan should be boycotted for anything more than 5 items. The daft things don't work. I refuse to use them. 

Nice solution to the horrible charging port that Sony use. Not all that difficult to install. Just requires a half hour with a good set of screwdrivers.

My mate is over from Canada for Christmas and bought a bag of Ruffles for us. I'm kind of glad we don't have them over here because I doubt I'd ever eat anything else.

Oh. Those are deadly!

Made these Yoghurt parfaits for brekkie.

Effortlessly easy to put together. Just layers of Greek Yoghurt, Granola, and fruit. Set them up last night. A little bit of garnish before serving. They went down a treat.

Merry Christmas.

There's various coloured versions of these advent calenders available. I guess any queries about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie can be dismissed.

I have fond memories of watching 3 at the cinema. Thoroughly enjoyed that film. 1 is a great watch and probably the best film of the three that I remember. 2 always disappoints me with the little plot twist half way through. I can't really remember too much about 4 and 5. Apart from a ridiculous truck chase in 4. I'll have to refresh my memory.
