Dreamt last night I was walking through a woodland & found some hedge porn, but while I was getting my phone out to photograph it so I could post “look, hedge porn” on social media, someone else took it
There’s some sort of lesson or message in there I’m sure

my experience mirrors this - 2 stopovers on the way to/from elsewhere was quite enough Dubai for me
for added metaphor, the gents toilet in Dubai airport (so the minute i stepped "backstage" from the shop front display) was absolute hell on earth: an inch of pissy water on the floor, shit all

I am so sick of hearing about Dubai. I don't ever want to go. I went to the airport once on a stopover and the airport was a gigantic shopping mall and I was told "the rest of the place is just like that n all". Stop trying to make me go there, all ads. I don't wanna go on holiday to a slavery land!

When I worked at Tesco we’d close down the phone lines for about 5 mins either side of 11am on Remembrance Sunday, just to avoid gammons ringing in when their (incorrect) watch said it was 11am then spending the rest of the day bitching on social media about how disrespectful we were & how we

I’ve managed to catch the last bus home. This is a fucking brilliant slice of life. I should be recording this, I could make a fortune

Well that was a funny old night. Met new people (hey @chumpski.bsky.social ) then bumped into folks I used to drink with every weekend 30 years ago. Met my sisters ex on the way out, considering I was thinking of not bothering I’m really glad I did. A very life-affirming night out

Something has died in my car!
A few years ago I worked in a temporary office that had rabbits underneath it which died & decomposed. There was an awful sickly sweet smell of death for about a week
My car has that exact same smell now. It’s far from ideal

When will journos ditch the flawed and lazy generation narrative? Do people actually think that a 50-year-old lawyer in London shares much with a 50-year-old cleaning lady in the south Wales valleys? Money, contacts, geography etc. matter a lot.

Walking through Adamsdown, a flamboyant tramp just loudly exclaimed “alright Hitler, how’s you my darling. Have you got a pound for me?”
I wonder what his success rate is with this approach?

Mrs Safe is out so I got the kid to bed then started eating my tea (chicken breast & salad)
Kid got up & was messing about upstairs so I headed upstairs to put him back into bed
Come back downstairs to find the cat tucking into my chicken

The final nail for me they saw me end up in therapywas (of all things) a fake Tupperware container
When my sister emigrated, she & her family stayed at ours while they sorted their house to sell. They brought the last of their food with them (because growing up poor never leaves you)
Fast forward

Tom Hark by the Piranhas, bought from Woolworths in Tonypandy.
Bought on the 7th September for my friend Sean’s birthday on the 9th
My birthday was on the 10th. He bought me the exact same single (with a different sleeve) from Woolworths in Tonypandy.

I still can’t believe in my last job I got away with calling a high-profile company wide project “project windmill”
I claimed was because it was addressing an issue that’s gone round & round for ages, but really it was down to being asked for a project name shortly after an email conversation
