This is how the Amazon-X War began.

There’s no other band quite like The Coral is there? This new album is great, sounds fantastic in the sunshine.

@serailway.bsky.social Given that the e-ticket readers at Victoria fail roughly 50% of the time, you really need to train your staff not to aggressively ask “What time’s on your ticket?” Implying I’m trying to defraud you when it’s your infrastructure at fault is immoral.

Mrs C’s informed me that The Boy’s going to the cinema tomorrow with his mate and his mate’s parents to watch The Mandalorian. Me:

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap

Southampton leadership meeting today: “Well, at least it can’t get any worse.” “Le Tissier’s just come out to bat for us.” “Bugger”

COME ON CHELSEA. God, I feel dirty. Look what I’ve been reduced to. #WHUFC

Fair play to John Robins for knocking the booze on the head, I do worry we are short of Proper (non problematic) Celebrity Drinkers these days though. Mortimer and Whitehouse like a pint on the fishing, but it’s hardly Ollie Reed is it? Any suggestions?

Has…. football…. done the right thing??? Blimey.

A grand total of 3 companies, by the way. Thanks Beeb.

Am retiring this gif as I rewatched the film and realised Ken Watanabe’s not saying “Sod ‘em, they’re both wrong’uns”, but “Godzilla’s the good guy, let him sort the baddie monster out”.

There’s something deeply wrong about putting the heating on on #FACup final day. I blame Keir Starmer.

🙄

Difficult dilemma for the London based racist today as the fascist march clashes with Chelsea in the Cup Final.

Want City to win today on the basis I don’t see Chelsea winning two in a row and we need them to beat Spurs on Wednesday. #FACup #Logic

Afternoon, fellow nerds.

Son telling us about his school production of The Wizard Of Oz: “Dad, you’d make a good Dorothy”. I’m unsure how to process this.

Bloody hell LinkedIn Bloke, take me out for dinner first.

@serailway.bsky.social No announcements, a bunch of mystified passengers on the platform at Victoria. No staff helping or offering advice. What’s going on please? (I don’t mind a 6 minute delay, but the lack of information makes me worry this will stretch on for longer)

When this was a proper country.

Starmer will signal he’s quitting by running onto the pitch at the last Arsenal game and punching Arteta for bottling the league

Tell you what, this new Super Furries collection is just what I needed today. And I’m seeing them in a fortnight. Get in.

@serailway.bsky.social Tonight I’ve heard: - “Please be made aware” - “I’d like to extremely apologise” -“in the Kent area” If you’d like some communication training my rates are very reasonable.

@serailway.bsky.social Your announcer at Cannon Street is currently advising me to get the DLR or a bus to Faversham. That seems unwise.

I learned a lot about the far right from reading the Alan Clark Diaries about 5-10 years ago. Had a vague memory of them coming out when I was a kid and stories of him being a bit of a shagger. Thought they’d be a fun romp, basically a real life version of The Fast Show’s 13th Duke of Wybourne.

We’ve had a fascist council in Kent for a year or so now. The only silver lining is that their incompetence means they can’t actually do any of the things they said they would. Good luck everyone.

Watched that new episode of #TheBear, loved it. Give me a whole series of just that and I’d be happy.

Parents’ evening. Somehow more stressful when it’s online.

Convinced you’ve all made up at least half of these John Cale song titles.

#NowPlaying Underrated.

Making this beef ragu thing which needs regular stirring over a couple of hours whilst I try to get other stuff down. Which means in my head I’m Henry Hill…

*Mentally reviews Following list, nodding occasionally*

Here’s hoping fascist sympathisers Ipswich fail to win promotion today.

The kids are rewatching Horrible Histories for the umpteenth time, which means I got to see this work of absolute genius again last night youtu.be/TBK-Qt8edxM?...

Early finish at work, been to the pub, now on train home and can confirm the new Black Keys album is good drinking music.

Rita, Sue and Bob Too and Grogu

@serailway.bsky.social The customer satisfaction survey you have on a big poster at Stratford International has a QR code that links to an unclaimed domain. Seems like a fairly big fraud opportunity, someone might want to take a look.

At a work conference thing. A number of seminars talking about the latest trends in the industry, all of which are things I first heard about at least 15 years ago.

'Salmon Lane in the Rain, Bow' (1987) by Doreen Fletcher doreenfletcherartist.com

The media reporting Trump’s words as if he’s in anyway sane or coherent is really getting to me this morning.

That first half was an absolute joy to watch.

Anyone else watching #Bait? Really funny, I do like Riz Ahmed.

Ah well, there’s always next season.

This one is particularly excellent.

This is wonderful. TOAST OF LONDON | OUTTAKES www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5UY...

Solid, not as much fun as the first one though.
