Ugh.. Bluetones in Tesco.

I wish Mark E Smith had written a song about people who shop in supermarkets. Unless he did. Anyway, wound up now ...

I don't think I'll buy any more clothes. They are just seen as clawing opportunities.

Finally thrown away the piccalilli in the fridge so no longer stuck in the paralysis that I can't use it because it's very old and I can't buy/open any more because there's some on the fridge.

Sword of Damacles, waiting for supermarket wine delivery whist sitting in front of your takeaway.

When I see something in the news about something happening to a 19 year old in Leicester, I always think "Oh God, I hope it's not one of my mates". Then I remember that we're all 50+

New Oh! Brother 😊🙌

Gove there, attempting to sound serious by the use of Harry Potter metaphors....

What's the news? One cunt has joined another bunch of cunts?

Best train etiquette? I would have to say, board the train, see your mates on the first seat and immediately block the aisle for everyone as you stand chatting, oblivious, for ages....

Like women whose periods synch together, all the Today presenters have morphed into the same intonation as each other.

I will give a thousand English pounds to anyone who can stop me playing this stupid game on my phone.

I don't know why Northern would send me an email about their advert exclaiming "watch now!" as if anyone gives a shit. Who are the people who get excited by adverts?

Cos I'm a ruddy, bloody bloke.

Both fantastic songs, but have Eat Y'self Fitter and Breakdown on repeat in my head and it's getting a bit upsetting.

Did I miss Sebadoh on TOTP? 🥺

I think I've reached the age of long cardigans now, like an old woman. I embrace it.

That conspiracy theory about cable ties and nicking dogs died a death didn't it?

Managed to get ready for work suspiciously early and wondering what I'll realise I've forgotten to do as the train departs.

Keep wanting to sort and unclutter. The last time I tried, I'd gone through two things, picked up a dress, "hmm, Patti Smith said she liked this dress", back on the keep pile and so on with all the dresses. Etc.

Pretty sure Starmer said he had a piece of paper or summat, so it should be ok.

"I'm Down" amirite, @johntugby.bsky.social ? #lcfc 😆😆😆

Back in bed. So delighted.

Can't sleep due to the keeping of Christmas hours. Keep thinking about the Wigan-style kebab I'll be having for breakfast. Vegan sausage roll in a panini with wasabi mayonnaise.

Run out of Oh! Brother podcasts. What's next?

Feeling suspiciously non-ill for New Year's Day. What unexpected dreadfulness am I likely to encounter?

Um, where now?

Bye 2025, you were fucking shit.

Mr Chicken and Mr Booze are very on the nose names for shops/takeaways.

Someone has taken my freedom of movement away.

I can't help but feel that the local Indian takeaway went a bit overboard on the Christmas decorations. It was even more in real life.

I was buying blueberries in Tesco. Was accosted by a man who exhorted me to buy the cheaper ones, "look, they're really big, really juicy". I muttered, "I prefer these ones" and walked away as he shook his head in disbelief and disgust.

Asked the drummer in Right Said Fred why he wasn't in a good band (and I quote -myself- "like Sonic Youth")

Given up on sleep and will accept, instead, an elongated, 6 hour rest. It's all fine...

🎶scav-racking across the Tesco-verse🎶

My dad says "please" to Alexa. What a well brought up boy!

Watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with my dad. Fast-forwards through both the talking bits and also the easy questions deemed unworthy. Also, rewinding when anyone speaks. A bit exhausting.

Sorry if I drunkenly commented shite on all your timelines last night.

Bonus dog this Christmas. Don't know whose. Wandering the streets.

Got properly ripped off on lucky cats today, lads 😡

Poor woman in Waterstones being tormented by customer. Honestly, mate, I 100% assure you, "have you got a loyalty card?" IS a yes/no question.

Passing Action Records. Yes, passing, not getting distracted...

Shopping in Preston on Christmas Eve in new shoes? What can go wrong?

Listening to The Big Midweek. I love it when they stand up to Mark E Smith. Not always directly (beards).

Lots of sequins on the floor in Sainsbury's. Seems like a metaphor.

Ready to beat off the yellow sticker hordes...

Today I'm doing Aldi AND Sainsbury's. 🙏s please.

Is it Festivus today? Can I be excused from the Feats of Strength? Looking forward to the Airing of Grievances, though.

I've bought loads of bananas and I hate bananas.

Sooo... This has to move...
