Summer day temperatures and winter evenings should be criminalised.

Going away this week and the forecast suggests I need to take 3 different coats with me.

If you go between 2 to 3 generations back then my family is Manx and Welsh and no one has explained how that fits in to being English. I don't particularly feel English except when I go to Scotland, Wales or NI but I'm not Welsh. Do I get a pass? It's very weird.

*I don't deny the national symbols thing is a powerful motivator

My view on the currency is that Euro is really convenient and you'd need to explain me why retaining an independent currency (beyond pride in retaining national symbols*) was important. I know I'm not a normal voter but I wonder how common that would be?

I grew up on Usenet forums. I wouldn't dream of it!

Have watched it over the last 3 nights with my parents. We were only talking about the first 2 series last month.

Someone on my bus has the meep meep as their text message tone and I'm trying to work out who it is because they all look too young.

Okay i programmed a copilot agent to look up my employers style guide and flag no n compliance and I'll be honest that's pretty handy.

A thing I forget about conference season every year is all the public policy digital ads that suddenly appear.

So I don't really listen to much ABBA but I enjoyed it. But living in Liverpool, I went in with the attitude that this is what Beatles tourists do when they visit my city and it was a bit of fun.

Okay 1) is impressive.

This Autumn I'm off to 6 European countries only 2 of which use the Euro. We should make them joining part of our accession negotiations. Yes, even Norway.

I'd really enjoy a read from pro rejoiners about why the Euro would be bad for the UK economy because at my individual level I just think "this would be great" and I don't know or understand the argument against other than the emotional one.

You're doing a good job with me if that's your aim!

I'd be fascinated to read how our local MPs feel

Careful. This is the run up to a 4 day stay in hospital with food poisoning.

I remember seeing this at Fact and the sound levels were ever so slightly too loud. Nearly s**t my kecks. I think the projectionist was having fun.

Yup, at some point it's not worth it and you walk. Being left with the debt and feeling responsible while your friends bail on you. It's like those Dragons Den horror stories where people mortgage the family home.

This is like observing people (hypothetically of course) putting on some weird voice when buying drugs.

James @jawida.net · 23/09/2026

Nope, just a very patient and loving partner who tolerated this and covered the bills. Probably the biggest sponsor if you put a monetary value on that. Anyway, all this reminded me of those people. You just have to shut them out and make them irreverent.

Back in the dark days of 2010 to 2013 I took a career break and went off to work full time making Liverpool Pride happen. Self appointment 'community voices' gave non stop shit from the sidelines, never lifting a finger or giving a penny. They were convinced I was paid or claiming "expenses"

I love the date on these posts. I don't want to know how it resurfaced.

I'm still mourning the loss of the fake duck wrap.

I had a B-52 fly over a couple of days before the full invasion of Ukraine. Not sure it was reassuring at the time.

James @jawida.net · 19/09/2026

Yup. This hasn't been touched in months until today.

I made my first course friend at university joking about how that first month would involve standing outside rooms wondering if we were in the right queue. He even joked about it last year we had out 20th anniversary drinks. 100% it's just part of the experience!

What phone model is it? I can see myself switching between a smartphone and 'dumb' phone if I can still get to WhatsApp.

As long as we offer the chance to surrender peacefully in line with our obligations under UK and international law.

Seeing lots of cancel their passports, pensions and access to the NHS and not enough send in the army while special forces neutralise the rebel leadership.

If they say no then the accommodation goes ahead as planned and as a bonus construct a reservoir over the village.

James @jawida.net · 16/09/2026

My thought on the Piddington thing is we should get a map out and ask them to circle a maximum of three other locals where they say the accommodation should go. We then invite a representative selection of local residents from those areas and they have to convince them to say yes.
