Our second hand dishwasher left the chat last week. Bought the first new bargain unit we found in a hurry. Turns out it’s wifi enabled and washes when cheap electricity is available. I was asked to name it by the app. I’ve exchanged more txts with Malcolm than my kids 😂

What not to wear? I’m returning to the corporate world. Noticed many gentlemen choose to wear a suit. I need a new whistle, but where to go in🇩🇪 ? Most places are gone/online is a no-no as it’s a try on item. Last suit I bought was 20 years ago in London. Bonn/Frankfurt recommendations..?

Top tip. Never buy your kids musical instruments as you’ll realise your heroes were just messing around with c-chords on Layla while high. Simple. And the fucker has got paid very year since for throwing in a B minor.

Three years ago, I built a gaming PC with my son. Today, he’s upgrading it by himself. Tech Support not needed. A vital skill that should be taught in school as an IT skill. Built not bought. Problem solving, budget management etc!
