Walking the hound just then and passed a lady who looked at him and said in a cutesy, baby voice: “Hello, gorgeous.” To which I replied: “Hello.” She didn’t laugh. MY POWERS ARE GONE!!!

Watching A Star Is Born (1976) on iPlayer and can’t believe how much of a rip-off it is of A Star Is Born (2018); even the plot beats are the same. Fucksake. I bet they sing Shallow soon - the shameless bastards.

PSA for any UK muckers interested… I’ve just learned the third season of Interview with the Vampire, now retitled The Vampire Lestat to reflect the next book, is now available, in its entirety, on iPlayer. Haven’t watched it myself yet, but loved the first two seasons…

Watching Reservoir Dogs (again). Still arguably Tarantino’s finest hour. However, did notice Lawrence Tierney’s address book musings wouldn’t be a thing today - all of these contacts would just be in his phone (and scrolling through would be kinda boring as a plot device).

Just got a work email saying I failed a fake phishing test so as a consequence, I have to take an online course to enhance my awareness of phishing emails with an embedded link to take me straight to the course. I reported it as a Phish Mail. Obviously. You’re not gonna get me twice, motherhubbards!

As we enter what is widely considered the weekend for most, the notion turns to ‘takeaways’, so let’s consider what that means. Tak means convenience, at your disposal, if you will. Eaway means you’ll have it wherever you can so the two together it’s disposable wherever. Literal food for thought. 🤔

I blame the BBC. They were in the UK for every other match before and guess what? We got what we needed. Tonight they’re there in the You Ess of Eh and we lose. Fucksake. That’s me boycotting the licence fee.

Really hope this England match doesn’t go to extra time as I have a sarnie in the fridge with a use by date of 11 July. If it goes beyond midnight I have a possible food poisoning problem as can’t eat whilst the match is happening.

PSA for UK muckers… You may have seen this already, but the entirety of the Alan Partridge back catalogue is now on iPlayer. Just watched the first episode of Knowing Me, Knowing You off of 32 years ago. Still funny AF, and somewhat prescient.
