Well, I'm off to bed, likely to have stress dreams. Last night I stole a monkey on a motorcycle and met a cat with a goblin face.

'Siri, show me an image of "peace of mind"'.
I just stuck my head out of the window for my bedtime breath of air - no rain, no wind, no lights on at any of the neighbours, no stars, no cars, and the only distant sound is a ship engine.

So, if anything, what I've learned today is why I was so keen to continue working from home; it's easier to stay out of bother.
I attract the ire of a certain type of manager. Don't know why, but it's always been the same.
Don't underestimate how pissed off I am about this.

Just seen this picture of Mark Zuckerberg at Kris Jenner’s birthday and he’s definitely Artie Ziff now, isn’t he?

He's looking good at 91, though.

A stottie is not a bread roll. It's an entirely different beast that you can wear as a hat if the sun's out.

That's a care home I wouldn't mind having to move to.
The whole discourse around ‘older people’ ignores the fact that current 70 yr olds were once out of their minds on dope and Blue Oyster Cult.

Just had to apologise to a manager for asking questions, if you're wondering how the 'open and free discussion environment' at work is getting on.
So I got AI to write it because I couldn't couldn't be arsed.

Which isn't to say that things are great now, obviously. *points out the window*
I can't honestly say I remember 1975, given I was a kid at the time. But I remember the early Eighties. Dirty, worn out, rubbish all over the shop. Unemployment sky high, and the threat of nuclear annihilation. Aye, it was bloody smashing.
Is the Telegraph finally acknowledging that Thatcher wrecked British society?
