When setting an alarm I literally never want to know how many hours and minutes away the time is. I already compulsively do the maths, I don't need a disheartening reminder of how little sleep I'm going to get.

I unfollowed someone earlier for boosting something to the effect of "all people of gender X are inherently bad". I'm sorry, but no, and the fact that you'd be okay with boosting such a message is disgusting. Women, men, or any other gender, are not a monolith and you cannot uniformly apply […]

As someone who played plenty of GTA: San Andreas back when it was new - I'm sorry, but it's not very good. It tries to do way too many different things and all of them end up kinda naff. Vice City is the perfect middle ground.

Why does every airport think their way is the only way things are done? In Copenhagen, prams are odd sized luggage and are collected from a different place. In Bristol they're not. Woman at the baggage desk in Bristol had a huge pile of prams next to her and had the gall to act like it was a […]

Why is it that most gates at a given airport have loads of amenities but invariably the one I'm stuck at has, at best, an insulting expensive vending machine and an air of urban decay?

My alarm was set for an early start of 0615. My daughter woke up at 4 and decided to not simmer down until 0530. Thanks for that. Driving home from Bristol is going to be an absolute blast.

It's interesting that I can only think of right wing groups trying to scam and mislead people. It won't be universal but it does seem to be rather a pattern.

I often forget @curatedjenny has narcolepsy - she just stumbled in our bedroom as if she'd lost feeling in her ankle. Nope, she just fell asleep standing up. I've never actually seen that happen before, but I did have to wake her up several times towards the end of giving birth to our daughter!

Went to reinflate my car tyres before driving to the airport. Pump's fuse went. I found this out by unscrewing the cigarette lighter plug. In doing so part of it fell between the seats, never to be seen again.

Photo of a woman in a steampunk costume standing outside on a street on a beautiful day. Her dress is denim and blue/white lace, and she had frilled denim dragon wings on her back. She's wearing a brown leather harness and various gadgets hang from her belt. She also sports a denim baseball cap with round goggles.

Photo of an old man and woman in steampunk gear in a green park on a beautiful day. The woman is wearing a brown pith helmet with googles, and a brown jacket. She is aiming a complex steampunk ray gun to the right. The man behind her, also aiming his ray gun, has a small dragon perched on his pith helmet. He sports a whip on his belt.
