Didn’t get the house I really liked. No idea why, I know my references were flawless. Onwards and upwards, it was clearly not meant to be. 🤷🏼 Scooters arriving for test drives on 14 Jan so something to look forward to there at least. Will shut down pc and do tablet marathon shortly, so so many now!

So doctors have currently told me: 1) Dead within 6-12 years (nice and accurate that one) 2) Never be able to use my left arm again. So… next? Seriously, I’m bored of this shit. At least the men in the desert trying to kill me had a fucking chance with a bullet or two.

New graphics card which I found online brand spanking new for £200 less than on Amazon has just been collected by the courier. Very reputable company, I’m over the moon tbh!

Anyone technically minded have the faintest idea how I can upgrade a 230w power supply for something with more connectors that can support a PCIe (?) when I’ve got only these dimensions to work within? I think I need a low profile GTX-960 graphics card and definitely need more connectors for that?

Anyway, happier news: tenant referencing has gone through successfully on place in Penzance. Also a new build in St Erth (available March) which I have sufficient nearby parish connections to, which is now a thing for social housing apparently. Test drives on 4 scooters sorted for Jan 2025.

FYI I am “not at home” to people who can’t take a flippant comment made as purely a joke in the way it was intended. Yes this is a “sub-post” (ick) but still. Jesus H Christ some people really need to reinstate their sense of humour. 🙄

I just had a takeaway which was *too hot* to eat. I mean the temperature - the chicken tenders were actually too hot to pick up properly. Have I just stepped into a different universe?!

My unlikely latest cause: Get ‘spoons to make mushrooms *or* (something else) an option on their large breakfast. I’m bored of buying a standard and upgrading the sausage quantity.

On my way into Penzance, got chatting at the station with an absolutely stunningly pretty woman who had moved here from Zimbabwe as a professional carer. She was reluctant to get off the train at Truro but asked me for my number and then sent a message. Yes to immigration! 😂😍

A charity has organised for me to have the large (because of my height) personal disability vehicle that I need. I ended the gofundme thing so anyone who kindly donated will recover their monies. That is all.

My surgeon always insists I am given a private room to wait in. This is the NHS. I’m not sure why. Public school? Oxbridge? Forces? Lawyer? Generally at risk of infection? Concerned about my mental health reaction with too many people? Honesty no idea why but it’s handy for phone calls! 🤷🏼

It’s great that I recently passed the milestone of being “authoritative” on restaurant reviews but I only have written about 10 and the last one was years before the outbreak of Covid 😂 So yaknow, if you see one of my reviews, YMMV!

Matt Saunders @chelseamatt.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Morning all, another delightful day of hospital awaits me soon. Patient transport to collect me in a couple of hours. My only saving grace is that I avoid a tedious meeting about the house I’m living in. One guy not moved in, the girl moved an appointment to avoid it so it’ll be one poor dude. 😂

Just logged into steam for the first time since September 2018… My library is absurd lol and it contains Civ 5 so that’s basically likely to be my life now. See ya folks! 😂😂😂

An American healthcare model is not what we should be looking to replicate. I don’t care if people say “too soon”, I really don’t care, the saying that ‘when the US sneezes, the UK catches a cold’ holds true. This murder was a direct result of their insurance based system. Protect the NHS.

Trying to have a text conversation in Welsh but iPhone seems to only understand English is an exercise in torture. Hydras = autocorrected from Hyfryd which means lovely! I was talking to my mum to try to encourage her to speak more Welsh and my phone basically accused her of being a Medusa! 😂

Lol Amazon is wild sometimes. I’m looking for a *very* budget desktop computer for writing as I’m sick to death of using laptops. So on the page of a £110 refurbished bundle it says “Products you may also like” and top of this list is a £2k gaming PC! 😂😂😂 When good algorithms get possessed…!

MPs will today vote on Sarah Olney's bill, which would introduce electoral reform and proportional representation to elections in England. Following years of the Conservatives’ denigrating standards in public life, we urgently need to restore the public’s trust in politics.

Fixing our voting system is a perfect start. First Past the Post is not fit for purpose. We believe every vote should count equally. We are calling for Labour MPs to vote with their own members and back this Bill.

Bloody handy having just moved in to figure out everything that I now need is basically on sale for either cyber Monday or Black Friday. Still had to spend a LOT of money though but it’s complete basics that are currently where I was previously staying in Penzance. Will take a while to get it back.

As predicted I was part of a longer piece this time which included the thoughts of others. I did get the very last set of quotes tho including: “It feels like it’s almost an excuse to not have to fix those areas which are in desperate need of extra funding.” www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

@shrinkatlarge.bsky.social By the way Dr Jay, I managed to get a picture of Jasper into a BBC article about my views on this assisted dying thing and palliative care. Got my dog published on a BBC article - possibly the greatest achievement of my life. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Managed a point and a half on a Saturday early evening in a pub before I felt the need to flee. Moved to a quieter spot away from everyone to finish my last pint and then came home. Pretty bloody good for me if I do say so myself. May stick to only having a drink over lunch or at home tbh

Waiting for new interview by me discussing the assisted dying bill to drop. This will be about my thoughts (and other people I think) on what happens next now it has passed the first reading. I’ll post it up on my profile on both places as I did with the last one. Also a piece on disability soon.

I once went ahead with a transaction which I knew would lose money despite the rest of my team not spotting why because I saved nearly 20,000 jobs across Europe. Secret that I was able to write off whilst still retaining a winning deal value overall so I didn’t get sacked!
