Coffee drinking, PS / Switch gaming, Apple fanboying, mid-40’s guy who would probably have a half-decent gym bod if he didn’t eat cookies like he should drink water as an emotional reaction to the day job.
The slippers have come out of hibernation

The driving quality and state of the local mall suggest the school holidays have started (even though, officially, term ends on Tuesday). 6-weeks of relative ease getting to work is not worth the impact on all other aspects of life 😭

It took a few weeks, but I’ve found my new cheap go-to at Wetherspoon now they’ve dropped Jim Beam

First overnight insect bite of the year that instantly starts itching the moment you become barely conscious.
Before bed tonight, I will find you and I will kill you.

A second evening of lounging in pants and socks. Bit ‘ot, innit?

It was inevitable, so may as well be on day 1 🤷🏼‍♂️🤪

Coming home and putting the news on tonight is like waking up to the Brexit result 😕

OK… didn’t think The Last of Us season 2 would go that hard that soon 😱 #tlou

Just found out that #Wetherspoon is no longer selling Jim Beam, leaving only Jack Daniel’s on the bourbon menu which is a third more expensive. With the price increases and diminishing drink offer, I’ll be joining the “stay in” people before much longer

Pulled when I was out tonight.

I mean, it was a girl who was told she may be barking up the wrong tree and then said “all men are cunts” while doing karaoke, so… 😬

Or maybe we could simply encourage proper personal hygiene 🤷🏼‍♂️

Go on holiday for 5-days, and in the 3-days I’ve been back I’ve developed the shittiest cold I’ve had in ages. Why does this always happen?

Turns out Hugh Dennis suffers easyJet like the rest of us. I’ve made all the puns in a series of messages with other people on the same flight.

First day I’ve thought the gym could do with having the air con on to cool the place down (old tin / plastic roof).
I mean they’ve had it on when it’s been -2 outside, but not now it’s 16°

People at work: “It’s world book day, what book have you come as today?”

Small wrists/skin sensitivities, or just not really exercising? Every example I’ve seen of this is people walking on treadmills with stationary arms (holding onto the treadmill or, ironically, using their phone) & moaning the watch didn’t track the workout because they don’t understand how it works🙄
A growing number of people are choosing to wear their Apple Watch on their ankles for a better fit, especially if they have small wrists or skin sensitivities, says new report

So, local MP writes to cover some of the work they’ve done and to encourage me to follow them… on Facebook 😒

Did @nigella.bsky.social just throw @susiedent.com style shade but with a recipe instead of a choice word? 🤔
January 22, 2025 at 9:08 PM
So I’ve started - Facebook app deleted, 2 Twitter accounts deactivated. I was already on the cusp but the last 24-hrs just confirm that I can’t, even passively, be part of those platforms any more. Will find as many of those I followed on Twitter on here then the final account will be deactivated.

Just had my first book published…

So the ‘saving’ of TikTok in the States is the equivalent of a hostile takeover more to line the pockets of the USA than to save free speech? 🤔

If this is how 2025 wants to start, it can fuck off right now. RIP The Vivienne.

Yep, that was categorically the worst drive back from Cornwall without a particular and significant cause for delays. The volume of traffic, a lot of which should have considered its confidence driving in patchy fog, was insane. Need a holiday after that.

Travel on the Friday, I thought. Everyone will be travelling on the weekend, I thought.
It’s not often I’m *this* wrong 😭

Ok, now it’s officially Christmas. This will be notably shorter in less than 24-hours 😋
