Why is that every time I order something and it’s given to Evri to deliver, I get a message saying that Evri had a problem delivering the order with a blatant lie that they could not access the driveway. I’m here. The driveway is empty. You could literally get a fucking lorry on it. Lying bastards.
I’m 40 in a few months. I have another 28 years (minimum) working until state pension age (as it stands now) but I, and many of my generation, have fully accepted there will no longer be a state pension when we get there. Pensioners cry about the social contract, but their generation made sure to…
Gov review into mental health has found that young people are not, in fact, snowflakes, but are actually suffering. Declaring them weak, enhancing stigma and therefore causing harm to those poor people. Perhaps boomers could take their paid-for houses and triple locked pensions and fuck off now?
Perhaps we don’t need to listen to billionaires about tax and immigration, since they are the ultimate experts in tax avoidance by migrating elsewhere, but while continuing to amass wealth off the back of British working people.
Every single day the world inches ever closer to Armageddon, and we’re supposed to just keep calm and carry on?
This really is a hateful little fucking island. I’m so sick of it.
I remember Christmas 2019, the last before Covid changed the world, the BBC showed a two hour Dolly Parton special on BBC 2 (I think). Later she was instrumental in the development of Moderna’s Covid vaccine. Quietly. No fuss. Just gave the resources to save lives. I’ll say again. Legend.
Dolly Parton. There won’t be another like her. Thanks for the music, the movies and for bringing the joy of reading to millions of children. And personally, thanks for Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Legend.
I guess we couldn’t save the cheerleader 😢

Am I tripping or have we had three train derailments in the UK in the last month or two?
There’s this new game that the tabloid socials are playing where they fly helicopters over celebrities houses and lawn shame them because they’re green… fun times.

Up too early and thought I’d try and see the Persied meteor shower but my neighbours seem to also be up and have their obnoxiously bright security light on blocking out most of the sky.

It’s brought temperature down by 2 degrees which is also welcome.
Why is it that I’m seeing potential government policy (which are almost certainly announced to win popular support and are therefore terrible ideas) as “Andy Burnham says…” posts on social media. What a ridiculous way to govern. Twat.
The clacton outcome is so exciting because either a humanoid bin enters Parliament, or a parliamentary investigation into an idiot - who thought it would end - continues after a brief hiatus. Who says politics is dull?!
There are literally three massive fires in my local area blazing away as we speak.

Eew. I seem to follow someone who bought the creepy Facebook glasses and proudly sharing stories labelled as “Made with Creepy Facebook Glasses” or whatever Zuckerberg calls them. Unfollowed. We don’t condone creepy pervert glasses in this house.
There’s a new record for the longest running chart song in 73years and I couldn’t pick it out of a lineup of 2 songs, even if the second song was Barbie Girl by Aqua. Many elderly, much frail.
How about if you don’t want to face the consequences of jail, you don’t fucking commit heinous crimes! Fucking losers.
Can’t help but wonder if twat Streeting was crying because he was given Defence or he was given it because he was crying… Also, now Healy will be the one to have to justify the defence budget he resigned over. Fucking shower, the lot of them! Back to ignoring the news. Join me, it’s bliss!
Jurassic Park (and the best reaction scene in cinema history), Bicentennial Man and The Tudors. These were all gifts that Sam Neill gave me. Rest in peace.

Nigel Farage is wasting tax payer money to massage his ego and try to avoid scrutiny over his grifting. I hope Clacton hand him his arse and vote him out.
I’m now at the part of the heatwave where a 30 degree breeze is nice and cool. Is this acclimatisation?! (Still getting air conditioning fitted though!)
