[Coworker who is going to annoy you for the next hour]: hey man did you hear about my crazy night out

My friend and I made the observation that three years of intensive essay-writing at GCSE and A Level had failed to make us good essay writers, but a single relaxed semester of university permanently fixed our writing

Not sure what to make of this but it does seem the long advance in the south is over

Israel should have won Eurovision not because I want them to but because the subsequent fallout + possible collapse of the competition would be the just desserts for the organisers for inviting them

I'm a Hearts supporter now

Hearts obviously going to concede one here

Last night whilst I was sleeping they blocked a payment for my Marriott hotel because they thought it was "fraud" JUST LET ME SPEND MONEY I'M GOING TO LOSE MY RESERVATION

It's funny when the BBC do medical advice podcasts that say things like "if you are thinking of taking vitamin D supplements, please speak to your GP first" as though this is a completely normal and routine discussion you can just saunter into the doctor's and have.

If you post about Will Stancil more than three times in a day your account should be locked for a week

I could hear this strange high-pitch noise by my outside wall, like a malfunctioning electrical connection. So I spent an hour putting my ear against the wall, climbing up and down a ladder. It seemed to come and go, nobody else could hear it. I have coal tits nesting in my roof!

Also there's the fact the Tintin stall keeps giving me free Tintin merch

I'm off to comicon again soon

Part of getting older seems to be having an increasing number of companies that I don't buy from because I have a grudge

Someone at work called me "Human ChatGPT" because I "know a lot" (I knew how to spell lymphatic)

Back in 2015 or so you'd get chuds making 30 minute long YouTube drama videos about some poor person who they found annoying, and they'd explain "he made a joke about a murder once! Awful!" before using that as justification for calling him gay, overweight, and weird for three more videos.

Noticing quite a few people about-turn on Phillips when they realised what she was proposing in her resignation letter was completely nutty, but try to save face by clarifying "uh well it's about uh Starmer's *attitude* clearly!"

They haven't collected the bins of a local business for two weeks and refuse to even answer the phones to explain why. And honestly? I love that for them, they don't owe anyone an explanation for going no-contact 💅 Boundaries are important 💫

Ok he's gotta go

Sorry to hear that and all but uh what technology is that and how is it trained

I dislike that owing to the NHS being a shambles I am aware that there are things wrong with me that need treating but the only solutions are either SSRIs with no further investigation or an 11 billion year waiting list

Learning that a ball striking you in the chest - in just the right way at just the right time - will instakill you has been an enormous infohazard for me

An opinion I've held for a while now is that if you are someone in the wide political centre you probably don't actually want nonvoters to vote

I enjoyed these when I was younger. It's a shame a lot of these sort of books were squeezed out by Boy Wizard, which took over "magic" witchy books for the most part

🚨 Footballer Paul Gascoigne has arrived at scene saying he is a friend of Keir Starmer.

Every one of these articles about dating makes it sound like the whole scene is a complete nuthouse.

Whilst online shopping is a crucial part, it is not the only problem for town centres

Every time I listen to this it's absolutely gripping

Does anyone know of any good guides to reading Tudor secretary hand?

Learnt today that Arthur Brown (God of Hellfire) is still alive and touring? He also wanders around the countryside with a pony? www.instagram.com/p/DXcG5k9jAL-/

My favorite fragment of hers is just so impressive, haunting yet beautiful in its defiance. Also impressive because she ended up being right.

I want to make a mod for Stellaris that adds The Clangers as an empire

Audio drama: "This is from the log of Hans. I am nervous about the expedition into the Ruins That Make You Mad. I am only doing it to pay for the treatment of my beloved wife, who is sick. My greatest weakness is my love for my wife." Review: 10/10, we award it the Smiggly Subtle Horror Award

Interesting duo I found in the archives

The local binmen adopting therapyspeak to explain why they couldn't be bothered to collect three streets worth of bins has me properbinmenpilled

Reactionary space opera for children

This is why I can't use DMs on this website

I disliked the stylistic choices, cinematography, and general attitude of Nolan's Odyssey based on the trailer, but then a really smart person scolded me and told me The Odyssey wasn't real? Rocked my whole world. Christopher Nolan just do whatever

The standoff

Thank you for all your messages. My uncle also had a near-fatal heart attack recently so it has been a difficult few weeks. Fortunately he is recovering.

Well Henry died a few days later. He seemed to get much better but than rapidly went downhill over a couple of days. He had an inoperable brain tumour and the symptoms only started showing up a week or so before his death. I miss him a lot. He was a lovely dog.

I'm like 60% sure I saw someone get booted from the National Archives today for mishandling the documents?

This isn't unique to Kew but I'm always amused by the houses worth £2m+ that have a Nissan Micra parked outside. Though maybe those are related.

I'm guessing the female Egyptian goose(?) in this photo was annoyed at my presence because she stared at me and hissed for about 30 seconds with a wild look in her eyes before going back to sleep

Kew is really the most LibDemy place that ever LibDemed isn't it
