Was my life easier in the nineteen-seventies? Yes.
Was I less than eight years old? Also yes.
There's a corelation in there somewhere.

They've just played Fairytale of New York on the radio. It's not even halfway through November. Stop Christmassing ffs.

Just put my cycling tights back on and they're still damp from this morning. 🤢

Doctor Manhattan, except it's James Bond. Blue willy optional, but encouraged.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Somebody has just turned the radio up so that we can better hear the two minute's silence.

I think most of us who cycle have had the odd close pass, but this would be a real brown shorts moment.
Heart-stopping moment cyclist narrowly avoids being hit by skidding car
George recalls the car came around a bend sideways and started to skid.

Quick, easy, and totally inauthentic, sticky gochujang tofu and rice. We'd run out of soy sauce, so I used Henderson's Relish like I was Sean Bean or something.

There's a lot of politics happening on here tonight. How about some nice non divisive food discourse?

Just sprayed myself with a tester scent in Lush and now I smell like creosote.

Everyone in the house was getting excited by the northern lights being visible until I pointed out it was a light show at a nearby firework display.

What practical difference would it even make as to whether you were worth a hundred billion or a trillion dollars apart from making you an even more insufferable twat? What is even the point?

A wild earworm appears. I can't have heard this in over 40 years before tonight and it suddenly appeared in my brain unbidden.

My hair is thinning so generally keep what's left cropped. I wanted to fully shave it but my wife pointed out that as a skinny bloke I would probably just look unwell.
Too many men shave their heads at the first sign of their hair thinning. Not many people can pull off a shaved look. A lot of guys would look better with the hair they have, even if it's not full & lustrous. Also, let's stop shaming guys for a experiencing normal part of aging.
