That didn’t take too long couple of weeks of looking on 591 and we are now moving next month. Still in the wonderful district of Xindian but right on the border of Taipei city. So close I could spit that far.

Don’t let yourself be gaslighted, we all remember. 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.

How the fuck he can give that goal is crazy, control the ball with your arm, if you don’t score it’s okay. Might as well catch it and throw it too another player. Referee is a cunt. #nffc

That was an interesting starting XI, I know nothing and Vitor is the man, Chelsea 1-3 Forest. #coyr

My boss just called me into the office “did you go to the bank this morning?” “What?” “They called me, to confirm you worked here” Are you fucking kidding me, I put money in my account, which sent shockwaves through the fucking banking system in Taiwan, and my ATM card wouldn’t work. Crazy.

33 mins 3 forms, 2 IDs and questions on why I deposited money into my own account on Friday. Just to get my ATM card reset so I could take money out. FFS Taiwan banking is a joke. Cashier was genuinely surprised I wanted to use my bank account at their bank. A bank account I’ve had for 4 years. 

You Welsh Beauty 😘 #nffc

Oh Bugger! #nffc

There are a group of old ladies near the bus stop I’m at, exercising to a dance version of Ode to Joy sung in Chinese.

💥💥💥 Denmark has just produced proof that America accepted Denmark's sovereignty over the whole of Greenland in 1919. (via @faisalislam.bsky.social) 🇬🇱🕊

An escalation of political warfare by the PRC ambassador Xiao Qian in the national Australian media. Disinformation, misrepresentation, and a new explicit demand to accept in silence Taiwan's annexation and its catastrophic consequences.

Do you remember?

I posted this in response to my son and elementary school students I see on a daily basis being given 10-13 pages of homework on a daily basis, teachers explaining for 10-15 minutes on how to do the work and then assigning as homework, so the class can do other projects like doing presentations that

This is a long one- Research on homework for elementary school students (roughly ages 6–11) shows mixed results, and most experts agree on one key point: Homework has very limited academic benefits in elementary school.

Wrote a children’s story for my son for Christmas, it’s just for him, so I used Ai to illustrate it, if I ever thought about publishing it I would definitely hire an illustrator or illustrate it myself. Although the illustrations are close to what I would want,

🇬🇧 UK pigs in blankets are far superior to 🇺🇸 US version. Don’t get me wrong I would eat both, but there is no competition.

Instilled some uk knowledge to my wife this morning, if someone rings the doorbell on a Sunday morning, do not under any circumstances answer it. “Check from balcony it’ll be God botherers.” “We don’t get them in Taiwan” “Check from the balcony” “Oh yeah, we do have them”

IYKYK - “The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!”

I beg your pardon!

The referee gave this as handball, I’ve circled where the referee saw this from. What a fucking joke. #nffc

12 points what a way to get them, still better than Derby. #nffc

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

FIFA have invented a new Fifa peace prize (presumably so they can be given to Trump at the World Cup draw!). They say it will be bestowed on behalf of the football fans of the world. The idea Fifa do this in our name should be mocked out of existence that weekend at stadia around the world

I’m done ❌

Don’t listen to a word I say ’Cause screams all sound the same

Day 9 of the great Taipei deluge. Will it ever stop raining for more than just a few hours.

Halloween is Pooh.

I’m all for backing Dyche, he probably knows Forest better than any manager we’ve had over the last 10 years, as do his backroom staff. #nffc

Stupid water dispensers in Taiwan, 3 options of hot, if I wanted 40°c water I’d have brought a fucking Teabag.

QSquare at XiaoBitan was playing Weapon of Choice, everytime I hear it I want to do the Christopher Walken dance but don’t think anyone would get the reference, and think I’m just a bloody idiot.

Veteran FBI agent Habeas “Habie” Corpus has been suspended

This guy was very active in staging right-wing rallies in Berkeley during Trump's last term and generating film of confrontations with "antifa" counter protesters.

“Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was court-martialed for devouring an entire army’s rations in one night. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security mess hall to the nearest buffet. Today, still wanted by the military dieticians, they survive as soldiers of consumption.

Walking into the woods and never coming back is under serious consideration today.

I don’t wake up every morning wanting to have a shit day but

We are here.

Gardening done for the day, well balcony pots planted with seeds again, see what grows, we have a papaya tree in a pot not sure that’ll grow well, it’s already a foot tall and was only planted 2 months ago from seed. Son enjoyed helping anyway so it’s worth it just for that.
