Can any dream interpreters let me know why I had a chicken katsu curry in a bag in my dream last night?

WFH productivity has nosedived this week as new internet with a handy meshing system means I can more easily look at memes at my desk.

This is a great punchline I wrote for a joke about an octopus. Sadly I cannot remember the joke.

Spotted on a postdoc’s desk at work.

A pretty good drawing of a horse and a flower, on a desk in an office. A colourful object with the word ‘Joy’ on it stands, ironically, next to it.

Have you ever seen both @themerl.bsky.social and Milk-o-Mania used in a friendly workplace reminder before?

I don’t think I have ever been this sweaty in my life and I am generally a sweaty man.

It has taken 34 years and ten months, but last night I finally used ‘antidisestablishmentarianism’ in a sentence. (I realised immediately after that I meant ‘disestablishmentarianism’.)

Do we talk about #universitychallenge on here because a) that was thrilling and b) I’d have won the tie-break.

Remembering a funny incident with my large human baby (1Y) yesterday in which he did a big fart and pointed to his nappy, which he does to indicate that he’s shit himself. Took him upstairs, on the changing table, nappy off, no shit and the wee man laughing at me. Mugged off by a baby.

Just had to explain to my 13 month old son that, sadly, Paw Patrol is ACAB and he can’t watch it.

Tonight’s listen was Breakfast in America by Supertramp following complaints of previous choices being too abrasive. Holly - ‘yeah that was good’. Theo - not the usual levels of excitement but he enjoyed the title track. I’m a fan of this album (I own it, after all); side A rips, B is a bit meh.

Every night (well nearly) during family dinner we listen to an album. If I remember, I’m going to try to chronicle the listening and capture some reactions.

A running joke from my old band that I’ve just remembered is that we referred to drop D as ‘standard tuning’ and I just think that’s a great bit.

Scored the equaliser in a 2-2 draw with my first touch after coming on, so actually pretty well I reckon.

NEW HERE, trying to show off our wonky football doodly nonsense, so reply to this with a footballer's name and if we've drawn them we'll reply with an appropriately upsetting picture... Shares appreciated! x
