It also transpired that I would not, in fact, keep up trying to bake my own bread.

It was a good job I was sat down.

The biggest problem with kids these days is they don't reply to Outlook meeting invites. Now if you don't mind, Grandad is going outside to shout at the bins.

I have stolen so many days. Someone should stop me.

That shadow board showing where they should go was peak shaming.

Í was just searching for All4 ire and need to concur: it doth suck cock.

Got a work Christmas do tonight with a new set of work colleagues. Will it be messy? Will it be boring? Will the directors try and be likeable? We're engineers: it's going to be various shades of mediocre. Also it's November.

Doesn't it punish you to take minimum-wage jobs, especially if you're on housing and child benefits?

Further to yesterday: even if it works elsewhere, the UK will make this rubbish somehow. There is no system we cannot game.

Honestly was fairly decent. They have a Carrefour with predictably rapacious pricing, but the restaurant does a wine tasting with actual French people so you feel proper classy.

I'm going to a Lapland experience in Liverpool with my niece and nephew this weekend . It is going to be utter wank. It's only £30 each, which these days is the reddest of red flags.

It's like when you see Johnny European drinking outside and doing nothing else, behaving themselves: how do they do it? By the by, the French one is markedly cheaper so you can take the savings and feed them into the Mouse's maw.

Have you been to any of the continental ones (EuroParks et al) for contrast? I recall going to a Belgian one in my youth, and as an adult there's one near French Disney which was very adequate. I wonder if this is something that is perfectly fine that the UK has just shitified, as is our custom.

Came for the pissdome; stayed for the duck rape. Based on this recommendation I have booked for Easter week.

If you're in the US, you get locked in a 'Thank you' 'You're welcome' death spiral.

I reckon once the hour is in double figures all bets are off.

I tell you what, it was a good job I was already sat down...

We're going to have to dirty this place up a bit.

I knew Twitter's days were done when I was trying to follow the bakeoff hashtags and received penis instead. Evidently there is some manner of firearms crossover also. #gbbo #gbbs

Just had a tech support chat end with "May your day be filled with wonderful moments". Which sounds like an old Chinese curse, to be honest.

Going to try and catch Dune 2 in IMAX tomorrow, but I'm far more excited about the 'Hogzilla' Bigfeets episode dropping tomorrow. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you are the lesser for it. soundcloud.com/1800bigfeets @brockway.bsky.social @seanbaby.bsky.social @jasonkpargin.bsky.social

I can actually remember when Twitter et al started and I'm getting a similar as-yet uncorrupted vibe about this place. The day isn't over yet, mind.
