Yet another migrant from the Other Place. Mainly dull, with occasional outbreaks of sweary irritation. Not American, but from somewhere with a broadly similar language. Sorry if that disappoints you. Profile picture was quite literally drawn by a 5yo.

I've had a bit of think over the weekend about what the "lesson" might be, and have concluded that it's "some people are complete twats for no reason". But as the lad works for one of the banks in a customer-facing job, he knew that already. The waste of time is palpable.

This evening has contained a tale of a misdelivered parcel belonging to my eldest, and a recipient who has not only refused to hand it over but has stated that its contents will now be sold on Vinted in order to teach him a lesson.

Hearing there's going to be a big push under Burnham on British soft power in Southeast Asia. HUGE Foreign office push. State visits etc. First up is Laos with Ed Miliband.

Why not indeed, but we have fuck all money and relatives with dementia who somehow don't qualify for any sort of help other than what we can provide (almost daily).

Header from marketing email, which reads: "Why not visit the Peak District this summer?" as if the recipients are the sort of dismal idiots to whom this simply wouldn't occur. Perhaps I am being ungracious here but come on, people.
