In the vein of "could this long meeting have been an email?"

Sometimes I think:

"Could this long whatsapp message have been an emoji?"

There are delicious vegan cheeses and BAD ones.

I'm gathering a list of the best vegan cheeses. The artisanal ones, the fermented, textured ones with depth of flavour. Not blocks of soya flavoured with Cheetos.

Can you suggest any stand out favourites?

Just me diligently saving websites I've found during a hyper-google session to my helpful bookmark folders which I'll never look at again, only to repeat the google session numerous times every time I need to find resources on any given subject. (They're in your bookmark folders Danu omg) #ADHD

"The youth of today, no stamina!"

My dad used to enjoy teasing me with this phrase when I couldn't keep up with his punk lifestyle!

I've googled it and obviously it's a phrase because it's written a lot, but can't see its origin. Anyone know?

About me?!
Well, this will all sound faintly far-fetched.
A confusing cacophony of Class and Culture clashes.
I never amounted to nuffink.

I'm trying something new with my recent Substack publication. Next time, when there's less background noise, I'll try using my own voice! 😊

Anyone here au fait with Medium? I splodge words on there occasionally, but various Medium articles suggest that there is almost an esoteric wisdom required in order to create pieces which please Medium-based publications. I feel I need my hand held in trying to interpret the How To's. Anyone? 🙏🏽

Need any content written? I'm looking to scattergun my writing all over the place by means of freebies to friends in high places! If you need 800 words written send me the brief and I'll draft something up before you can emit breath (or somewhen shortly thereafter).

When I saw these excellent events at Bury St Edmunds Literature Festival I knew I had to go, and I knew who with! We went to middle school together and talked about Witches on the bus.
I was captivated by these talks. Well done Bury for birthing your own literary festival. May it grow and thrive.

Why are Captchas obsessed with motorbikes, pedestrian crossings, traffic lights? Why???? And all of them look alien. Also, I don't know or care enough to keep fighting this weird game of snap because I missed the tiny corner of a motorbike handlebar. Just sign me in.

Actively seeking writing roles. Both freelance submissions (travel, vegan food reviews, literature, culture, opinion, comment etc) and content writing gigs (I have previous SEO experience). If you have something you'd like written, and feel like taking a chance on me, I'm yours!

Is there an app like Rocket Money in the UK? I specifically need the tech to scour for subscriptions I may have and show me a suggested list of subscriptions to enable me to cancel any I wish to cancel...

That definitely clinches it for me! Skeet it is! Thank you Wendy 🙏🏽
“Post” is what they’re calling tweets on the Musk hellsite now. So I still like “skeet.”

Having now experimented with both, it seems my British autumn fatigue and my Algarve spring/summer fatigue are different species of fatigue, albeit equally debilitating. I think that my Algarvian fatigue is slightly more optimistic though than this ghastly grey gloominess.

"And Len, he's got a villa
on the Algarve.
Do you remember Red Len?
We used to call him Len-in,
and now all he can talk about
is playing golf on the Al-fucking-garve
with his grandson, who's a banker.
Red Len, with a banker for a grandson.
Fuck me!"
Why has nobody made a gif of Geoff Mercer in 45 years ranting about his former colleague Red Len who now has a villa in the Algarve where he plays golf with his banker grandson. As something of a Red myself, and part-time living in the Algarve, this had me in stitches.

Love how everyone is so helpful here, like olden days Twitter! Strangers with shared interests engaging kindly ... we're back in 2011!
So 'skeet' or 'post' which way will I fall? Post is easier to say but skeet has a heritage nod that I enjoy! But sounds cringily alike 2010 misogynist slang.
