$110. But numbered. But $110. But I bet its awesome. But $110. But...ordered.

These boys...these 54 beautiful boys...are going to take SuperKMx FC to the Sorare promised land this year. *watches as they all transfer to Saudi Arabia before the window shuts*
Sold for £13.49. - £3.75 P+P. - £3.75 for return label because after 6 days, he "JUST DOESN'T LIKE IT." - £3.75 to post to new buyer + £1.96 fees. - Leaves 28p to cover the cost of buying the game in the first place. No idea why businesses don't offer you 100% market rate for your games, though.
Zion Suzuki to Villa. My FC27 team is going to have a usable goalkeeper.
- Promoted to League One. - Send youth player out on loan. 16. Never played a match. Fractures his spine. Out for 6 months. Two weeks after getting injured, demands to leave as he wants to play in the Premier League. - Sell him to Villa. - Entire squad hates me for selling ‘one of our best players.’
First season was a rebuilder. Mid-table. Second season, needed one point from three games to get promoted automatically. Didn't get it. Scored in the 92nd and 95th minute of the playoff final instead.
Oh, your son likes it? Then sure, let me just knock 40% off the price for you, BUDDY. I'll tell eBay and they'll give me a discount on my fees, and I'll let Royal Mail know so they don't charge me for postage. All because your fictional son likes this card, but you don't love him enough to pay up.
Claire is the person who replies to my customers when they start an eBay message with "HI MATE." She's been super busy since I listed those Pokeman cards up. Susan covers on Sundays.
Got to go out in a minute. Wish this rain would fuck off.
BBC Weather says rain. Accuweather says rain. Bluesky says rain. Yet no rain. Up with this, I shall not put.
HMRC's new Making Tax Digital system is comedy. I can see that it is absolutely wrong in what its asking me to pay on January 31st, in my favour. Wonder how long it would take them to tap me up on Feb 1st when they realise they're £7k short?
I can't think of five comfort watches, but the Casio G-Shock is quite nice.
So I listed up all the Pokemans cards I got graded. Dude just offered me 40% of the price on a £50 card and asked if I accept Klarna. He's not the first. I apologise for ever complaining about how game collectors haggle. Like...a lot.
I’m going to play Ridge Racer Type 4 upstairs tonight while my lounge carpet dries after being washed and it’s going to be fucking lit.
Describe your music taste with only three artists. No genres allowed! 1. R.E.M. 2. Linkin Park 3. Daft Punk covering Miles Davis with an introduction from Bjork and an interlude duet from In This Moment and Beastie Boys. I am the rules.

Seems pointless when they could just play Burnout 3: Takedown and experience a great deal more than 20% growth.
Watching Grimsby vs City on Sky Sports Plus. Godawful commentator thinks "Grecians" is pronounced "greshuns." Bit rough, given its our nickname. I assume he's been on a lovely summer holiday to Gresh during the off-season.
Bought Helldivers 2 last night and played it online with another human person and we done won the mission and I shot things and fired a big cannon and it was fun and I liked it. I might even play some more.
Can’t wait to pop in for a piss-stained copy of WWF Attitude on PS1 with no manual and a scratched disc for £25.

BBC reporting on the eclipse. I realise this quote was from a child, but it still made me laugh.
BBC Weather is doing the gaslighting thing again. Rain has been exactly one week away for what feels like a decade.
Apparently £5million can’t buy you enough security to protect you from an imaginary threat.
If you're going to underestimate my boys in my third game in charge, before I've been able to trim the wage budget and get anything other than one free agent in...things are gonna happen.
Fixed Denuvo bullshit. After watching the shitshow on Friday, I have to do this. New save. New data update in place. ECFC in League Two with...15 first-team players, £0 transfer budget, and £500 p/w of wages available. This'll be a challenge.
Worked on my laptop last night. Only had VSCode open. Back on my main machine, try to fire up Football Manager. Nope. Apparently I've triggered a "24-hour rolling Denuvo DRM lock" because I've booted two machines that have the game installed. Even though its from Game Pass. What the fucking tits.
I’m not saying the store is going full Pokemans, but I have just obtained a store card display thingy so I’m not tripping over bastard cards in the stockroom.
Just signed off a new rule with my client and team that if they copy/paste a message to me from Claude or GPT, then they will not get a response. And I'm the judge. Got people saying "Claude can you write a message to Ken that explains what you did" and I am absolutely not fucking here for it.
