We have some disturbing news that the pod WhatsApp group was hacked.

Comments like "brutal" "no way back from this" were made and in NO WAY reflected the mood of the pod members...

Poverty is not real.
You should not be allowed to work from home.
Minimum wage is a bad idea.
Women need to stay at home and have kids.
Migrant workers are the problem.

I don’t know guys. It seems like Reform might not represent the working class at all?
Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated.

A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

Last time the tumble dryer was used was for a towel wash.

Emptying the lint filter was particularly satisfying.

Always one of my favourite minor household tasks

Robin Williams warned the US about Donald Trump and his links to Miss America Pageants and underage girls in 2012.

Really should have listened.

Just had another piece of work returned to me by a family member saying "I have made some amendments"

It's amazing how many people when they make amendments to things I have written like to use loads of em dashes and American spellings...

Off into town later to the roughest boozer in the city centre and then go for some noodles in a dodgy looking Chinese gaff*

I'm a catch,me

Big fan of @maxrushden.bsky.social and @bakercharlie.bsky.social changing the opening of the Warm Up. Somewhat different in tone to what that weapon Simon Jordan said the other day

High risk strategy today

We agreed no Valentine's Day gifts, cards yes, gifts no.

I stuck to the agreement

30 seconds of panic this morning when I handed over the card and waited for the "I know we said..."

Thankfully she stuck to the deal too.

Thank fuck. Been caught out in the past

Football chat (literally)

Yes there was yer Tango from that era but always had a soft spot for this ball. Always remember some lad near where I lived got his hands on one despite it being an "English" ball
