a whole internet of knowledge at our disposal, and yet so impossible to find a step-by-step guide to doing *anything* that doesn't also include the author's life story

The cake-eating part of me says: sure, go ahead, there's plenty of time to make a cake again before December; The sensible part of me says: but Bradley, you can't keep on making Christmas cakes, and then eating them - there'll be none left for Christmas

Thinking of starting to buy all my writing gear from a corporate supply store. 2000 index cards for £73.49 (£88.19 including VAT.) Get a huge wipe-clean whiteboard for the office and some markers while I'm at it. Start doing all my writing in a hard hat and hi-vis with FIRE MARSHAL on the back

Good lord, accidentally caught a snippet of Trump rambling on about the 'Russia hoax', the 'Ukraine hoax', and 'super intelligence'. If your Nan started talking like this, you'd have to see about getting her put in a home

Northern Ireland really should be more well-known for its world-leading bureaucracy. Everything is paper-based here. To get my driving license changed, I had to complete a four page form from the Post Office, which was then returned to me because I'd missed ticking one single box:

Hilarious to me that celebrities have multiple phones: one for friends, one for acquaintances, one for work. If I was incredibly wealthy and successful, I would have no phones. Upon making my first million, I would simply yeet my phone into the sea, Rebekah Vardy style

Nobody checks when you fill in an online form to sign up for online shopping? Ask me how I know? My supermarket of choice just sent an apologetic email offering a refund to one "Sir Bradley"

Every time I've seen or communicated with a Boomer lately, they've asked me to buy them a packet of ham on my way to meet them. From this, I've concluded that all Boomers are being funded by Big Ham

My folks live in Wakefield, which is now a pretty much 100% Reform council. They mentioned that fairly recently, within the last 2-3 weeks, the bin men have stopped taking the bins where they live

Mum rings me at 8.30 in the morning. Then texts, "Can you phone me, it's urgent." She wanted to know whether I wanted a tablecloth she bought on holiday in 1992.

Can't believe there are so many layers of security to looking up how many Nectar points you've got. I feel almost certain that I've almost got enough to buy a pack of chewing gum but there's no way to find out

Not to be fun-free, but I hope they make the ban on disposable barbecues permanent. Horrible, anti-social, litter-causing, injury-causing things

I'm nearly convinced our new build house is haunted. House is only 15 years old and yet seems to have a very naughty ghost in it, one which keeps making noises that wake me up in the night.

It's so weird that people warm to politicians exactly because they give the vibe that they're not politicians, that they have no expertise in politics, that they are not like the others. In no other aspect of life would that be true. "Oh let me book this plumber who knows fuck all about boilers"
