Evergreen

Reverse Gallipoli where Turkey can't get past the beach

Wiyh the collapse of LIV golf, the miserable time Euro footballers have had in front of a dozen people a week, and the ruination of NRL players over the never-started R360 - if you are an athlete chasing a Saudi payday with anything more than a year left in your career you are an unpitiable doofus.

You know what they should invent? A wooden coaster that doesn't stick to the glass

Well done boys. Good process

Must just be a coincidence that IGA Coles and Woolies have all put the price of weetbix up by a dollar in the same week. Don't worry it's not rigged, get back to your Christmas shopping

Dreamt that FSG relocated this weekend's game to Boston (Liverpool 0 - 1 West Ham)

Unfollowed a local record store's page for McCartney slander

Need a Tripview for southerlies. Tonight's one arrived at 12:33 am

If I had to be without hot water for a week, or wifi, I know which one I'd choose... but luckily I don't have to choose, cos they've both happened in the past 12 months!

People just don't read their emails anymore before asking questions already answered within said email

Me when there's a rain delay in the city I live: Well, that's unfortunate. Nothing you can do about it though. Hope the farmers are getting the rain, poor buggers Me when there's a rain delay anywhere else: This is a moral failing of this city of heathens, God punishes us all for their wickedness

If you're on the run and *dine in* at a Maccas, deep down you want to get caught

🎵Cos they're changing the stops without warning / So they can say that the trains run on time

The 2010/11 vibes are growing stronger (newish social media text platform gaining traction, being completely humiliated in the cricket)
