Team Insomnia, checking in.

Poor, hairy Man United fan.

A HAND DRILL?!!!!! #SmallProphets

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Happy 13th anniversary to this pair of matching news headlines.

Post a banger that isn’t in English.

I am prepared to believe that is Kim Jong Un’s current haircut #KimJongUnTrouserWatch

Maybe - and I’m thinking outside the box here - they should try to NOT concede late goals?

It’s not rained here for about 2 1/2 days. It’s not natural.

Whereʼs the cue ball going??!??!?? To heaven because it has died

Car wash. It is called Purple Rain, the best Prince-inspired automobile cleaner in the Scottish Borders. That’s his actual spuff, of which there is an inexhaustible supply.

I am on a recce up at the ice rink and LOOK AT ALL THOSE CURLING BROOMS

Who’s the super bowl halftime performer? *wrong answers only*

Just finished my columns for the next Gooner Fanzine, and I hope to god that the Arsenal Superstore will stock the Perry Groves aftershave I just made up - El Pel, “The Great Smell of Pel”. #Arsenal #VeryNicheJokes

For flip’s sake Liverpool #FFSLiverpool #TheFootball

When Leo, a dog, is naughty, his name becomes Fucky. This morning he is KING FUCKY THE FUCKER, the little fucker.

Has anyone done the Superb Owl joke yet?

When you hear a bumping and groaning coming from downstairs at night, you take a torch down to investigate, but it’s cool - it’s just the ghost of your washing machine that you killed when you tried to launder a king-size duvet.

Colchester. Where it is all kicking off. I think. #facebooknews

SATISFACTORY #TheArsenal

Out shopping in Jedburgh, and audible gasps as it all goes a bit Father Ted. "You don't have anything from the Allied side?" "No, no. That sort of thing wouldn't interest me at all."

The sun came out. Scenes.

I could do curling, as long as it’s “one out” and my colitis doesn’t let me down.

“Who are you and how did you get in here?” “I’m a police officer, and I’m a police officer”* *the police officer used to be a locksmith

And now we move on to liars. Enya. A Day Without Rain, my arse. Never happened.

Jack off all trades.

We are watching the Muppet Show 2026 revival on Disney+ and YES.

Switched to the rugby and WHAT THE HELL WITH THE ADVERTS?

Veuillez regarder cette oie

I am watching Ted Lasso for the first time, and what of it? #wanker

Cheering when someone drops a glass in a pub.

It’s the 36th of January and will it ever stop raining?

Just applied for my over-60s bus pass. Yeah.

Oh no.

Well, that’s the end of my WaPo subscription. Took less than a minute.

A new Living in Scotland milestone this week: Heard a woman being addressed as “hen”.

Fifteen years ago on this very day, I made this low quality photoshop of a photo I took in 2002, and somehow it became a meme. You’re welcome.

Pot as many balls as you can.

MOST SATISFACTORY #TheArsenal
