anyone else mad the state is called New York instead of New Yorkshire

You can photograph the shit out of the Bayeux Tapestry copy in Reading

About to engage in my first teeside parmo

I've been making selections of photos for a post and am now five folders deep. The latest is called 'final final final post'. The canary I brought with me is dead.

one thing I'll give credit to Apple for is Airdop. Getting stuff between android and pc is like going back to the stone age

hey so what’s your group chat called

The captions when my dog (Keith) interrupts a video

My tangential link to news of the day is I used to regularly cycle through Piddington on the way to my in-laws and there was nothing to distinguish it from the general 'hills have eyes' vibe of everything around Bicester

if they tried to ban everyone for cycling on the pavement then Reading would depopulate to the point of economic collapse

I want to shake someone at Meta and ask them why there's a 10-photo limit on Business Suite but not when you use the Instagram app

whenever I hear rich old people say they wished they prioritised family over work, I imagine granting their wish and seeing whether they like renting precariously in their 70s, or swapping their career to something that requires just as much work but without the same reward

i swear if I see one more milestone recap by a freelancer saying that income is variable that's half the point. everybody knows.

my biggest tip is that if you see an organisation posting about a vacancy twice, that means they're struggling for applications

Listening to a podcast about Gen Z and politics saying their generation is waiting for a period of economic growth and higher wages, and as a millennial I have some bad news

I always look up some decent old man pubs if I'm planning a trip and Middlesborough is the first place I've found where they all have security bars on the windows

Just witnessed an original bit of Spinal Tap's Stonehenge at the Marshall HQ

No offence to Milton Keynes (well, some) but now I've seen a bit more of it it's a crime they became a city before Reading

my self-care is occassionally checking in on the trump approval tracker

the amount of time we spend agonising over copy I guarantee only 1/10 people is going to bother tapping the 'more' button to read

just read an article about how characterful high streets strengthen local identity and economies, and it reminded me to go piss on the graves of whatever town planners Halesowen had

I use DuckDuckGo on principle for search but I have to admit, it is shit

Weirdly going freelance has been great for imposter syndrome because it's literally a situation where if you're shit you can just be dismissed, no strings attached

You couldn't set Ratatouille in the UK because the peasant dish would be a badly cooked bolognese with a Dolmio jar that invokes childhood memories of disgust

never thought I'd be thanking Nigel Farage for day trip ideas, it's only 40mins away

Damning silence from Labour on their Napoleon III exhumation policy

My experience of teaching a university module: - being paid for doing the talks/seminars (3 days), not being paid for preparing the materials (5 days+) - doing the module in November but not being paid until the end of the academic year (September) - ... - not profit?

At a lush bottle bar in Buxton (Seasons) and I really miss Reading's Grumpy Goat :(

I don't want to be old man shouting at clouds but every teenager at Reading Festival looked the same. No alternatives. I think I saw 10 teenagers that looked like normal people (i.e. looked like shit). Only one hun.

Jamie T is playing a surprise set at Reading Festival which is great but now we're going to be locked in the PEPSI ARENA drinking EXPENSIVE BEER surrounded by TEENAGERS a full two hours earlier than intended

Well GTA VI looks good
