The algo knows I bought Ryanair flights, because all the adverts I'm getting are for vacuum rucksacks.

We are going in August 🙌 I don't know how we'll get to the airport cheaply without us pulling a landside all-nighter again. A problem for August me.

B came out of Scouts quite exhausted. He's a young leader so helps out with the younger sections. A kid started fitting, and during this, a fight started. Fight caused a ?broken nose, and three parents had to go in 🙃

Someone FINALLY contacted me about the damage to the defibrillator cabinet. Must have been the best part of a year since I first raised the issue. But I'm not sure if that person knows about my contract, because they're saying I need to claim on insurance, which I have via the charity.

My DSA reimbursement claim got rejected, and I don't understand how because my needs statement hasn't changed in years.

Urgh, they've made it here. Have left it for B to see if he's any creative ideas for it.

Thinking of taking B to Krakow this year for about 5 nights. Has anyone been? Any tips? Thinking of staying near the train station.

Post your favourite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Changed my nominated pharmacy from the nice local one to an online one. The local one won't deliver because of my age. But I keep running out because I forget to pick the items up, so I need them delivered now. It's a shame.

The next assignment is 25% PowerPoint. NO, NOBODY LIKES SLIDESHOWS.

Finally finished watching Stranger Things.

I have finished. Just need to proof-read and check formatting. It's been a big one and it's worth 25% of the total grade. Interesting topic, but please could the OU not hide instructions for StatsCloud across six different media like fucking academic horcruxes.

Balked at the language used in that Mountbatten headline, then twigged why it was phrased that way. Ugh.

Make no mistake, this is a threat, not an observation.

Has anyone ever reported a social media post and it was ACTUALLY removed? I have never experienced this. They do be loving the Nazis.

Gonna have to say "induce", aren't I.

Can someone please remind me that merely opening my assignment file does not count as actually doing it.

Share a preacher, priest, or nun. "Christ, but I hate the tongue people." I feel this. Never did it despite mom and nan very much doing it 🤢 HORRID.

The postie brought Roly round. He is obsessed with her. She told him she loved him last time she was round, I saw and heard her on the cameras 🤍

Yourself, but as a cartoon.

Sooo the DWP investigation is because my father sent me £1000 for Christmas. Which goes on his sick cat anyway. I'm not telling him, it'll be more of an excuse to forget about me.

Today, I have been an interfering know-it-all at least twice. It's in my top five things I hate that about myself, and yet I can't shut my snackhole.

There's nothing that irrationally pisses me off quite like when the woman next door shouts to her husband that his "starter's ready". Apart from when she has to keep shouting it.

Get amongst it, #Manics fans. #ManicStreetPreachers #JamesDeanBradfield #RicheyEdwards #SeanMoore #NickyWire #ForeverDelayed

I suddenly HAD to know how much of the devil's lettuce Snoop Dogg typically consumes.

B is listening to System of a Down on the TV downstairs. I've a good mind to stamp on the floor and shout at him to turn that noise up 😠

A while back I realised that my sense of smell comes and goes. A smell will come to me, but it's been there the whole time, and nothing happened to waft it over or increase it. I searched whether that was a thing and if so, what causes it. Polyps 🙃

My mom found these in Lidl. Very good. #Penguin #Arctic #Trump

I'm despairing. I've had the max dosage of two drugs for weeks, and neither have helped, and there's nothing else. There's NOWHERE to go from here. And I'm not sure I can cope with that. They've waived the 12-week discharge, but I'm panicking

Can we reach 100 followers by the end of the weekend!? #ManicsFolk

Quote post with a clue of where you're from.

Today I've had the cleaners in, the food delivered, and now got someone in replacing the meters. Also been having terrible nausea. Had it last week too, but I only just remembered I have prescribed medication for it.

BIL posted about the proposals for recall of the over 60s back to the forces. I said it was bizarre. I could pick it apart and I'm sure we're not talking front-line stuff, but generally it's not thrilling. But he replied again with racist rhetoric, so yet again I just have to stop myself arguing.

Copy and paste the bunny and then put something else in his hand (\_/) (°-°) />🌍< He's got the whole world in his hands.

Did he just not get any further down the alphabetised list?

hehe Bg Andrea 😁

On FB I often see a group which criticises the halal-hysteria of racists. I saw a particular comment and replied, saying I guarantee almost every item in their kitchen is halal.

Sick of being hot and sweaty with cold limbs and extremities. I need fingerless long-sleeved gloves.

'Meanwhile, a letter from Trump to the Norwegian prime minister has emerged, in which he says not being given the Nobel Peace Prize means he no longer has "an obligation to think purely of peace" ' If that doesn't say everything.

Follows needed for the fun to begin! #Manics #ManicStreetPreachers #SeanMoore #JamesDeanBradfield #NickyWire #RicheyEdwards

Just realised: If B's playing clarinet without music (or at a piano) he can't pick out a tune. He keeps drifting into different keys. Same for singing. But if he makes a mistake when he's sight-reading music, he knows instantly, even if it's the same key. How can those two concepts be different?

Holy fuck, look at my mother's Instagram follows.

I did not know Phil Lynott was born in the hospital where I used to work. I thought he was born in Ireland.

Calling all #ManicStreetPreachers fans — a massive fan‑interactive project is coming here soon to rank every MSP studio song. If you love the band, be part of it please! Follow us and join in the voting when we are ready to launch. Let’s build the ultimate Manics chart together!

Huh, son of our MP called to ask me to be a councillor. He said I was the first person he called. It's not something I can manage, and I'm struggling to get behind the party other than to support our MP when I feel it's appropriate.

Some interesting things in the hospital notes that I didn't know, but might have helped me at the time.

Everything followed.

Hoping to bring our Manic Street Preachers Never-ending Song Polls to Bluesky. Literally every #Manics track against the other, one poll at a time. We need a good foundation of support first, especially as - dare we say - the polling takes more management! So spread the word wherever interest be!
