In ThatLondon for my usual yearly sporting double bill. Slim pickings on the football side of things what with all the international gubbins. Turns out Leyton Orient stole a local bus shelter and disguised the contraband as a scoreboard.

Watching the ol’ World Championship bowls. Yeah, I know, I’m just so rock ‘n’ roll. The noise that goes off when the shot clock runs out is like a 1970s Ford Cortina’s horn. Horrible, but I suppose at least it keeps the pensioners in the crowd on their toes vis-a-vis dozing off.

Down to half a pipe of Pringles, a third of an iced fruit cake, approx. 30-40 Matchmakers, two thirds of a canister of Twiglets, a fully intact chocolate orange, half a big bag of counterfeit Frazzles and two derelict gingerbread houses in a state of disrepair.

Watching the ahhrrahs and trying to think of a good darting nickname. So far only ‘The Dood’ or ‘Jester’ spring to mind. Suggestions on a postcard…

Might treat me sen to a good ol’ fashioned lie-in tomorrow. Honestly can’t remember the last one I was in bed past 8am, what with always getting up for work, or parkrun, or junior parkrun.

Raising a sausage for dear Wombat tonight. Rest in peace, you lovely man. Had already shopped before work to pick up m’dinner when I got to my desk and read the sad news. It’s like he was guiding me to the toad-in-the-hole section. 😥😔

Carnage at Tesco this morning, even at 8am. Plus I achieved the rare annoyance hat-trick of 1) having to have a bag check, like a common criminal, 2) woman having to come over again to age approve (still not quite sure why), and 3) random contactless refusal so having to manually put card in etc 🙄😵‍💫

Desperate times. Hitting the five-years-beyond-expiry-date Lemsip until I get the chance to hit the supermarket. Doubting its efficacy after all this time but I’ll take warm and lemony on this rancid day 🤧🤒

A very schlong out & back parkrun. Shafted by the weather but didn’t cock it up and wanged it round ok despite the bogginess. 😝 #50goingon15 #suchachild

There ‘n’ back to York today. Absolutely shitsack weather on both journeys. Collapsed in an exhausted heap from the sheer concentration of after dark driving with it wanking it down most of the way.

Blummin’ eck. Is this typhoon drunk?! It’s weaving all over the shop compared to the last few. Supposed to be looking up tomorrow’s UK weather but I’ve been distracted by this mesmerising website again.

Still working my way through the 80s on my playlist compileathon. Lyrics of Billy Idol’s Flesh for Fantasy are summat else… “Face to face and back to back // You see and feel my sex attack // Wanna sing it, yeah” Third line’s a tad jaunty considering the sexual assault trauma preceding it.

Painstakingly working my way through every year from 1975-2025 on Spotify, making playlists from which I’ll select a golden god of a song from each year for my ultimate 50th birthday playlist. I’m on 1979. Twenty days to bosh through 46 years. I *may* have mistimed this.

Still recovering from today’s revelation that 80s balladeer Paul Young was the vocalist on that novelty ‘Toast’ song from the 70s. Mad.

CaptainDoodle @captaindoodle.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Ok, this seems like madness and although I’m intrigued I’m not prepared to commit to a multipack. It’s got to be rancid, hasn’t it?!

Love most American sports but never really fell for basketball and not quite sure why. Maybe it’s squeaky shoe annoyance. Or the foul/timeout-heavy farce that occurs in the last coupla minutes. Or height envy. Who knows.

Sad times. The toys era is coming to an end as I dust down the Playmobil princess castle, ready for selling. Even sadder times, I just spent three hours sifting through the young’un’s detritus drawers/bags to find half the bits. This was about a quarter of it. Oh, the humanity.

Actually getting to watch some sport of a weekend. Guessing it’s supposed to look like wolves’ ears to reflect the nickname of the team wearing them, but the yellow rugby league men look like they’re wearing blue bikini bras.

Well, that was a turgid week and no mistake. I did, however, stumble across this immaculate cover version, so that’s at least something in the WIN column… m.youtube.com/watch?v=JGUV...

Not a good start to the week. No apple crowns in Co-op. Had to resort to backup choice of the twisted chocolate phallus. If they hadn’t had any of those either I’d have just written off the day.

Poindexter’s just brought some soup to eat at his desk at work. Smells like something’s died in the air vent. Armpit soup should be right up there on the workplace banned list, along with microwaving any kind of fish.

Oh, sweet Moses. Up at 6am for present opening before Mrs Doodle went to work, and haven’t stopped since. Now very low on batteries whilst prepping Xmas dinner with a big fat knife. What could possibly go wrong? 😵🥱😮‍💨

Thanks so much, Twanta. Loving my gift 😁👍. Was just reading a big ol’ article on him a few weeks back. Was gonna post a suitably moody shot after dark, but can’t guarantee being awake after spending most of the day on my own with the kids 😵. I therefore went in the opposite direction 🐰 #Twanta2024

Which bellend packaging bod started the trend of putting a diddy QR code directly next to the barcode on milk (and now a bunch of other shit) in supermarkets? The amount of times I’ve blipped the pissing QR by mistake with the scanamatron, which then has a complete <dOeS noT cOmpUtE> flip-out… 🤬

Listening to a ‘Lost hits of the 80s’ playlist on Spotify. I’d say about 90% of it was lost for a reason and needs promptly putting back in the cardboard box in the woods where it was dumped.

Every so often, out of the blue, I remember they’ve discontinued Branston Pickle Mini Cheddars and it hits me like a sledgehammer. Or an empty pickle jar to the back of the head. One of the worst decisions in the history of the world. Gone before their time. I just want one last bag…

Weird ol’ line in Home Alone that I always forget about, but makes me go ‘Eh?!’ every time. The bit when they wonder where Kevin is as they’re about to get on the rope line to the treehouse. “Perhaps he committed suicide” Easy tiger. We were just having knockabout family fun two minutes ago 🫢
