I am comically hungover so obviously today is the day that I decided to cook Beef Wellington. It better be good because this shit is HARD.

There is no escaping the culture war.

I’ve got to go to Cork on Wednesday and really cannot be fucking arsed with it. Also, when did Aer Lingus start charging to book a seat??? Do my frequent flyer points mean nothing to you? You can absolutely shaft yourself with a pitchfork if you think I’m paying 13 fucking quid for an hours flight.

Seen some hate for it on here, but the new Fontaines DC record is fucking brilliant. You don't have to like it. But you could also maybe just keep that to yourself. Let people enjoy things without thinking your opposite opinion needs to be heard. If we all liked the same things it would be boring.

I was a “runner” at a merchant bank. Two week contract. I went to lunch on day two and didn’t go back.

In honor of the fired lady tell me about your shortest job tenure. I worked at a candy store for less than 2 weeks when I was like 16

It’s not often I actually LOL, but this made me LOL.

y'all... 🤭😭

They've got one of these in the pub now, £2 for 30 minutes charge, young lad wanted to charge his phone but couldn't, because he paid for everything using his phone, which had no charge. Splendid

And here again is my favourite ever Batman poem...

Still the absolute funniest "trailer remix" ever made -- as well as one of the very first of its kind, debuting in 2005 Every shot is perfectly chosen God I could watch this all day

I’ve worked in the music industry long enough to know that access to the “artist” is severely limited, so the sheer idea that some drunkard can just walk up to the vice president of the United States for a chat is beyond laughable. It’s his version of Trumps “big strong man with tears in his eyes”

JD Vance tells a bizarre story about a drunk woman who he says came up to him at the RNC and told him how big and handsome he is

A new cat has arrived on the scene. I’ve decided their name is Brian. I’m going to post on the local pet group where people usually go “I think this cat is lost” to hopefully just find out where it lives, if it’s friendly, and what it’s less appropriate name is as soon as I can get a picture.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

The U.S. President discussed the war in Iran, press freedom, AI, and more ahead of the midterm elections.

This is a metaphor for so many things these days that I couldn't choose

My wife is away and the child is going for a sleepover across the road, so I have decided to do some day drinking watching my local non league football team this afternoon. I've lived here for 13 years so it's probably about time I got around to it.

Do people not do ‘the history’ any more? AIDS crisis. Race riots. Massive unemployment. Privatization and ruination of everything. institutional police racism. Misogyny. Homophobia. Famine. Rise of Murdoch. Recession. The far right reemerging from under their rocks. Lad culture. Bosnia. Rwanda.

I do not respect your British culture.

Made the mistake of trying to get somewhere in England by any means again.

I have very much enjoyed this post and subsequent thread. and think more people should read/see it.

Every year I do artwork and the website for an annual 4 day festival that my wife also works on. This year it’s in Dallas and all kicks off Thursday (she gets to go because she’s more important than I am). 13 months. 3.46GB. 648 files. …and now my focus shifts to next year…

I had to go to Waitrose today as we needed a specific ingredient. It’s the biggest supermarket within walking distance but we don’t use it often because of the price. I have to say, I might just up the food budget. They have EVERYTHING. A whole cheese counter AND a cheese section. Restrain me.

Of all the things I absolutely do not give a shit about, the royal family and what they may or may not have said about 30 years ago comes pretty much top of the list. Can we please just normalise ignoring them? They’re all fucking awful. Absolutely pointless. They only exist for gossip and tourisism

Time for some positive news …

How much do I have to pay to not hear about it for the next twelve months?

The sound I make since age 35 when I get up from the couch

Everytime I watch American football I’m reminded of how much I loved it as a kid living in America and then remember it’s fucking stupid. All American sport is fucking stupid. I went to an ice hockey game in January and it was 2hrs of performance and 60mins of play. Stupid. No wonder they’re cooked.

I’ve had a lovely evening.
