Head of a neurodivergent household. Ex-archaeologist. Now and again I paint things. Most of all, it's just nice to be nice.
Lovely that Judy Finnegan could make it.

Nothing more Christmassy than opening your presents around the creepy old lady in 'The Others'.

As a VERY last resort, I used our school software's AI help today

Not only does it respond like a heavily abused Dobby from Harry Potter but when it finally tried to do what I asked, it just made shit up.

Told me the only member of Latin Club was a student suspiciously called 'Marcus Aurelius'.

A while ago, I saw a post asking for songs that people automatically mash together without thinking.

At the time, I knew there was one I always did but couldn't remember what it was. Just remembered....

Misread this headline for a second and nearly cracked open my stand-by bottle of champagne.

Well played, substack thingy. You got me.

Every time I've passed a colleague in the corridor today, I feel like I've waved at them like Mr Tumble whilst saying "Hiiiyaaa" in a manner that reminds me far too much of the "Bye bye, Driver" meme lady.

Not the best combination.

Researching my family tree, I've stumbled upon so many sad stories. But, of all the heartbreaking things I've discovered, this small letter touched me the most and always sticks in my head. My 2xGt Grandma, desperate to know about her son, Harry and hanging hopes on rumours.

Still reeling from colleague saying "I'm not usually racist, but...." before saying how she'd hardly seen any white faces in town at the w/end+that they were all immigrants.

Told her with a smile that I don't see a prob with that+I'd rather have a million immigrants rather than one single racist

Just saw a sweet idea - a special paper to stick on windows, let your kids draw on it and it imprints the drawings as white on the glass.

Then, I remembered I have teenage boys so it would just be a festive panorama of cock and balls.

Given the cough I'm still battling with and the fact my pelvic floor is not what it once was, my Halloween costume this year is going to be Anne Sellors in Threads.

I've just ordered something from 'Must Have Ideas' called 'Nanna's Secret'.

99% sure it's a product to combat limescale and not Nicky Campbell turning up on my doorstep to tell me about a relative I had no idea about.

Big 'Dictionary Corner' vibes from Putin here.

Looks like he's just explained to Dave from Runcorn that he could have had an 8 if he'd spotted "Ubiquity", and is seconds from launching into a cheeky poem about the dangers of high-rise windows to take us into the next commercial break.

Glanced up as this chap on Antiques Roadshow said his Mum used to keep this on her mantelpiece.

For a split second, I thought "bloody hell, I'm not surprised you were amazed".

Just freaked myself out looking at a photo from today thinking I'd caught a shadow person on camera.

Zoomed in and it's just me in a reflection, looking one step away from Sadako in 'The Ring'.

There was a man opposite me on the tube wearing tiny little jogging shorts. He was man-spreading SO expansively, I feel I could have given him a comprehensive testicle health-check from a metre away.

And no, I wasn't staring...they seemed to be in my field of vision matter where I looked.

After a truly shitty week, I'm now primed and ready to spend the afternoon feeding my soul by laughing lots...and potentially coughing like a Victorian with consumption.

Not 100% sure that attending a podcast festival when I have an awful cough triggered mostly by laughter is the best idea.

My bag is packed with cough sweets and I'll sit near an exit in case I need to cough up a lung and make a swift exit.

Slightly odd cashier in the Co-op (who is basically Tim Key's character in Plebs) misheard what I said about broccoli and enthusiastically asked me what type of dog I had.

I could have put him straight but chose instead to tell him all about the imaginary dog I don't actually have. Of course.

If ever there was a song equivalent to a clammy, weak handshake, or a wet fart,..... it's Mr fucking Wendal.

Why is the Grim Reaper taking all the good and decent people who have actually contributed to the world when there's a fat orange fuck in Washington and a rat-faced shit-bag in Moscow more than ripe for the picking?!

Leave the good'uns alone!

This is always what I imagine ChatGPT is doing behind the scenes when I attempt to explain my latest Excel formula problem in long, garbled paragraphs and it summarises it back to me in less than 10 words.
