New PB. Fire! #stack316 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⏱️ 1m 14s 🔥 streak: 39 🥈 #stackdownsilverteam

Scared the shit out of me, phone started making alarm sounds 😱

Today I learned: Garlic cloves can be sharp! Got a bag of medium sized garlic cloves from the supermarket. As I was putting it away, I managed to get a fairly deep cut in the tip of my thumb. Ouch! Annoyingly, that's my phone unlock thumb, so now I'm left typing in the PIN like it's 2007 again 🤕

Are they jizz? From the floor of a Buddhist Temple - Wat Klang Khlong Watthana Ram Super stunning temple to visit, absolutely worth a side quest if you're ever in the area. maps.app.goo.gl/Y35965ARQTNu...

This is effing ridiculous. Some bigwig is coming so they've completely cleared the 340. People being told to pull off the road and wait. All because whoever it is cannot possibly drive on the road with others. 🖕🤬🖕

Get to it Kiwis, this looks like mad fun!

Woo, monster in 7-11 now! Peng maaaaaaaaak! I bought one. I don't think I'll buy more, I can't justify that many coins. Also pictured, my favourite energy drink at the moment, that Volt in the aqua can is delicious. And my least favourite energy drink, that M-150 Orange Matcha is UTTER FILTH 🤮

Blitzed this one. Whaddya gotta do to get on the gold team? Sub 1 minute? #stack308 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⏱️ 1m 17s 🔥 streak: 31 🥈 #stackdownsilverteam

This is new, and quite nice. Schweppes Shine Muscat & Peach, Zero Sugar.

New Lays flavours: Butter corn, salt and chilli, lime and chilli. I'm crook today so I don't reckon I'll try them until tomorrow

Broke: Socks in crocs Woke: Socks ON crocs Wife made herself a pair of house shoes 🤣

Went to a different shop in my town and they had these today. I'm excited to try them! Ringing in the new year in style 😆

Queueing Thai style I'm not sure how effective it was, there were plenty of people waiting beyond the line of shoes - I didn't stick around until they started processing so I don't know if the shoe queuers got to take "their place" or not.

Gee, I wonder which it could be I'm running through the practice online license questions, which are translating to English badly, but I think this one is a legit question. I wonder what happens if you pick A in the real test 😂

And the award for the most User Mode google I've made recently goes to... "How do I add someone as a facebook friend?". I couldn't find the damn button. The googles tell me this person probably has their privacy settings cranked up so I can't actually do it. Makes me feel slightly less dumb.

Anyways, here's a thing Kim & I did in 2020. Kim wrote the song, sang & played rhythm guitar I played lead, bass & programmed the drums plus filmed & edited the video. I think it's a great song with a great message. All Will Be Well.

I didn't think the useless prick could get any more useless, but he's done it again. This time he didn't even tell us. Someone asked in the group chat at 6am asking "what clothes today". Teacher said "uniform". I sent her in Red Cross Thursday clothes. Nope, he meant normal tue+wed clothes 🤬

Since it is the season of toys with batteries, and those batteries are sometimes small and shiny and tempting for little mouths If a little one (or anyone) swallows a battery, make them eat 🍯 HONEY 🍯 and go straight to the hospital www.poison.org/battery/guid...

Random airplane we drove past today, near U-Thong 🤯

GAH. Tracking a parcel that was coming from BKK to my joint. Tracker tells me it arrived "at the last mile branch" in Chiang Rai this morning 😱 I hope this is just a screw up on the SPX tracker. For the non locals - that's 700km away, top of Thailand and I'm in the central part.

Woo, new PB #stack283 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⏱️ 1m 53s 🔥 streak: 6 puzzlist.com/stackdown

What's that you hear? It's the sound of a million wordle streaks being broken. Stupid stupid word today. Wordle 1,644 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 Line 1 & 2 were legit guesses. Line 3 & 4 I knew were wrong, just trying to get placement of the letters. Line 5 and 6 were rude words 🖕

Is there a German word for the sadness you feel when eating the last bite of a tasty burger? How about for the regret and shame when you realise you ate so much that even Elvis would be like "steady on son"?

Neat, the spoon is bamboo or wood. That's unusual for Thailand. Nice one Macca's

Over it today. Feeling crook for 3 days now. I'm sure eating this much will not help

Do these idiots not realise that this is helping nobody? I've got a craving for massaman, so I've searched Line Man. Nope. Nada. Probably too early in the day for it. They tell me nothing found, which is OK, but then it gets dumb

New PB best time #stack279 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⏱️ 2m 23s 🔥 streak: 2

Windows told me I needed to go into the bios and enable a setting before I could upgrade to Windows 11. It told me this when the Windows 11 free upgrades first came out years ago. I just went in and enabled that setting today. Please clap.

rant: Why the hell is there not a food delivery service left in Thailand that lets me browse menus on my full sized PC? I HATE trying to read the @#$%ing menus on the phone. I miss food panda! Sort of a rhetorical question, I know they gather SO MUCH data about mobile users via the app. Still, 🖕🤬🖕

Jeez windows, steady on son. Boobies on my lock screen!

Finally got one where I didn't have to use a hint. I normally suck SO HARD at stackdown. #stack276 5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⏱️ 2m 44s 🔥 streak: 1 puzzlist.com/stackdown

I forgot to do the puzzles yesterday. All streaks gone. FUCK.

Posting this just made me remember something and I’m angry with myself bc I should have said this sooner I have a lot used for testing that ends up not being used, and I have this Xbox adaptive controller and the full kit. Happy to ship it to any gamer who HAS THE NEED for the full controller

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people. I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

The head dude of our moo bahn often puts traffic notices in the Line group, saying they're trialling such and such on Road X, closing Road Y for roadworks, etc. These notices NEVER HAVE A MAP. Does my head in. Apparently they're turning a road into motorbike parking, near a market, but google is 🤷

FFS, some advance notice would be nice teacher. Miss 8 has exactly enough uniforms for the week - sports monday, normal tue + wed, red cross thur, thai clothes fri. If a day changes, we have to hand wash a uniform to cover the gap. Teacher sent a message at 6pm saying "normal uniform tomorrow" 🤬

That was surprising. Wife took little man to get his 18 month vaccinations. Normally his mum takes him, but she's moved out, so it was grandma today. They cost money! Only 150 baht, but we'd assumed they'd be free at the government hospital. Wtf Thailand??

Bahaha, top 100%, I'm THE BEST 🤣 --- I got a 165 points knowledge score on this year’s #StateOfReact survey! I have used 13 features, and knew 7 more, placing me in the top 100% of all respondents. Can you beat my score? survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

So, apparently, some of the vendors at a local market we go to regularly (we go to a lot of markets) thought I was a big old butch dyke 😂 I didn't go yesterday, wife went by herself. They asked where I was, "home with the grumpy baby". Then they asked if I was a boy or a girl! Must be the moobs 😱

I hauled my fat ass out of bed this morning for a walk. It was a slow 4.5km, but I got it done 🎉

Alfie Yuzu Dark Chocolate Flavour. Would not recommend. Waxiest "chocolate" ever, and bugger all Yuzu flavour. I was sad about this one. I don't mind the normal Alfie range - it's no fine belgian chocolate, but for 10 baht it's usually cheap and cheerful. This one was not cheerful.

Wife saw someone making patongo on YouTube. Went "that looks easy", so she raced out the back. It wasn't even a "here's how to make patongo" recipe. Just someone crackin an egg in some flour then frying the dough a bit later. This is FUCKING DELICIOUS. It's very much NOT patongo, but damn it's good!

I may have grumbled about this before, but jeepers the homework situation is ridiculous from granddaughters school. 15 pages of homework tonight 🤬 She's 8, in grade 2. I dread to think what's coming up in later years.

Haha, the Thai Meteorological Department has a No Gifts Policy. Guess I can't bribe my way to it being less stinking hot in April 😆 Maybe I'm too honest, but how could you bribe the weather dept for personal gain? Forecast rain and sell umbrellas maybe??

Is it just me, or did Proper Cold Season start a bit earlier this year? I seem to recall it not being Jeans Weather for the school run until early December last year. Mind you, now that I think about it, we've only had the scooter for a year... maybe I wasn't used to it yet. It was COLD this morn!

Haha, guy at work just said "up to you" in a slack message and I was instantly @#$% you too buddy! Then I realised that he probably didn't mean it the same way wifey means it, which is very "do what you fuckin want you idiot, I've told you what to do but if you won't listen, you're a moron" 😆

Hi folks, I'm thinking of offering writing workshops online. Bespoke and small, like my work 😉 Each one will be unique and 1.5 hours long. For non-fiction and fiction, and complete beginners welcome. £12 per workshop. Interested? If so, I'll get something proper together and tell you about it soon ❤️

I'm watching a Winter Olympics themed Blippi with the small boy. It is disgustingly wholesome. Actually good, and small boy is soaking it up. I really want to watch a bloopers real though, I wonder if he's "oh gosh I just fell over" or "@#$& &$#@ @#$&".
