Positive: sports massage makes me feel slightly more human. Negative: spending the next 24 hours pulling knots out of my leg hair.

First 80% of any F1 race is utterly pointless at this stage.

I feel very sorry for any weekend plans Kieran Maguire's wife had for them. #priceoffootball #mancity

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

This week I finally watched an episode of Jetlag, and I apologise now for my prolonged absence from all things

Can I just say... Gig etiquette these days. Wtaf? Not a cheap gig, I assume. People leaving seats during the main act *multiple times*. Toilets: OK, a couple of times (a lot of middle aged women 🤭) Drinks: acceptable if you must. Food: why? It's only 3 hours! TO BUY MERCH: again, wtaf?

Good to know it's not just Northern Railways trains that get shafted by Network Rail control incompetence. Currently enduring the longest ever SWR journey because of one incorrect signalling regulation decision.

Visit London. Find a Manchester brewery tap takeover. In a Yorkshire glass.

Is there a bluesky boycott going on that I've missed? My feed has been decimated in the last few weeks. Some people who posted *loads* see to have just stopped.

Rather painful walletectomy after one of our cats booked himself in for a two-night stay with all the extras at the vet hospital. Seems to be OK now, which is what matters. Insert comparison to private healthcare here.

London being a bit of a shambles today. Overground issues, so half an hour walk round the Olympic park, only to find the first tap I went to had technical issues meaning no beer. Resorted to an uber to escape. Now dodging Sheff Weds fans, which is just rank bad planning on my part.

First time I've seen someone cut the route (significantly) at parkrun and still take the finish. Why? 🤷

Never thought I'd say this, but: I've just had to reboot the shower. Apparently it's "smart" so when it doesn't turn on, it's IT101 to the rescue. The power cycle switch is in the loft space, obviously.

There's a wonderfully ironic juxtaposition when listening to @thepriceoffootball.bsky.social on Spotify currently. Kieran and Kevin read their own "this episode is sponsored by IG" ad, and then Spotify injects an IG crypto investing ad immediately prior. Makes it appear K and K are promoting crypto!

Wildfires everywhere in the news, yet on the woodland behind our estate kids are still lighting fires. That's the estate where two houses burned down in the 40° heatwave a few years ago. Knobs. Utter knobs.

Adventure time. Two trains and a bus (and a ten minute walk) got me to a brewery tap that was previously thought unreachable by public transport.

Ah, Northern Railway really are a shambles of an organisation. Even when they manage to find a working train, they send it to it's destination without enough fuel for the journey.

Booked train home had no aircon (iykyk) so went to the pub. Then went to another pub. That had 3 for 2 on takeaway cans of some of my favourite imports. Turned into an expensive evening. To top it all, the aircon on this train is shit.

We have an amber heat warning today and tomorrow. It's forecast to be warmer on Friday than either other day. How does that work?

It's World Cup kick-off day, so it must be time to pull on some shoes for the traditional #runtheworldcup effort. Much like the event itself, this looks likely to be a shambles due to the ridiculous number of teams and games involved.

Received an email to one of my old addresses. It's not a phish by any method I can detect (and I've done the training OH. SO. MANY. TIMES.) Plot twist: It's from HR & Finance Comms with a parliament dot uk noreply address. Extra Plot twist: It's about Information compliance, specifically emails.
