Maybe just read a book that you vibe with more, there's a reason why 'beach read' and 'airport thriller' are popular genres??

When the office radio has been turned from Greatest Hits Radio to Radio X, meaning you are listening to The Automatic in the year 2026 and absolutely NO Roachford whatsoever
Going to claim that the next build site of a data centre is actually the birth place of Penfold from Danger Mouse and demand all works cease
Paris, 2002 - the first time I ever had rare steak, or any cow meat that wasn't cooked to leather; it tasted (sorry veg*ns)...alive. The peppercorns bursting between my teeth. It was probably far from fine dining given I was 19, I've since cooked steak plenty at home, but still: revelatory.

Only ever really met slebs in a professional capacity where they kind of had to be nice, but Russell Tovey was very nice when I got the 55 bus one lunchtime and spent too much time bothering his dog on his lap

It’s crazy to think this little girl’s dream was to log into Microsoft Authenticator 20 times a day and answer whether she’s “enjoying” outlook and would recommend it to friends Living the dream
Been told we will NOT be going to Naples as "if you want to go there to spend the day taking photos of old buildings covered in graffiti and partially torn off posters, you can do that on your own" and: someone please call 999, there's been a murder
I think the key to understanding this guy is that he’s got all the money he could want, and almost everyone he’s spoken to for twenty years is contractually obliged to answer “Yes Ricky” and “That’s very clever, Ricky”. And yet he’s still absolutely raging, all the time.
Quite like it when you see advice for away fans travelling to matches abroad and it boils down to essentially "don't go, unless you can possibly get in and out directly by helicopter". Makes me think I probably don't want to visit Marseille, or Istanbul whenever Galatasaray play at home
Life On Mars was once enough of a talking point to inspire this cash-in book, which is essentially just Philip Glenister roughly forty three percent in character as Gene Hunt ranking - in a format I always suspected was stolen from TV Cream's Tribute Or Trash - retro iconography against the present.
Drawing created 1967 by Joan Wisdom, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. Her work critiques the psychiatric system which held power over her & this one, as in many of her drawings, features her patient number which was a symbol of dehumanisation to her
The washing machine was invented so that people didn't have to spend hours doing their laundry, not so that we could do twice as much laundry as we used to

Sneak preview of Ricky Gervais's new stand-up set:
Someone being dead is the absolutely *best* time to speak ill of them, as libel laws no longer apply
Keep thinking about the playlist for this. No Stranglers as JJ Burnel sounds suspiciously continental, so we'll just stick Chas'n'Dave's greatest hits on and switch to Black Lace once the Madri kicks in

Salford pioneered play streets, traffic-free from 8am till sunset (borrowed from New York) in the 1930s. Legislation followed: there were 700 in England and Wales in the 1950s, all but forgotten by the 1980s.
We need remedial classes for tech executives in a lot of subjects but one thing they need to learn is that the reason the characters on a TV show talk to the computer is so that the audience, the people watching the TV show, you, can understand what the TV characters are doing with the TV computer
Does this mean Google Home won't work anymore? Am I going to have to find a tiny DAB to replace the Home Mini in my office that's basically my radio for when I'm working?

Bluesky is not a “ George out of Rainbow’s personal closet”. It’s just a place where Zippy fans can vent without any repercussions, if that makes you uncomfortable then you need to think about that.
Fourfoot@fourfoot.bsky.social · 7d agoBluesky is not a "Bumpkin Billionaires bubble". It's just one of increasingly few public spaces where Sid’s Snake fans get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.
Steven Gerrard once said his favourite cheese was "melted", and you know what? He had a point
Makeup (eyeshadows last, and you can get foundation in more than two shades of beige). Antidepressants. Autofocus. Access to archive materials. Bra fitting.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · last wk.Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Haven't left the house for six days now, what's it like out there? Do people still wear shoes?
