Something tells me this speed awareness course is going to be a slog...

And with that, I'm home. A long day but ultimately worth it as I have these babies to make me feel better.
A box of Daveenamacol tablets. As the box says, it's for 'fast-acting, bad-presenting relief'. Nom nom nom...

Finally got my prescription!
Image of a prescription that reads 'just give him some refreshers and tell him its codine. The moron won't know the difference. If he questions it, tell him he's part of a drug trial. Failing that, nut him.' Words of kindness, caring and compassion. #bekind

It's OK, though. I'm getting to know some of the regulars.

Back in the waiting room...
Two more waiting room posters - one that says 'Coronovirus: What was the point?' and another reading 'Dial 111 now' and boasting about offering the same wait times, abrupt staff and disappointment as in-person diagnosis. Ah, the joys of an unprotected health service.

They're still a bit unsure so going to take some blood. Wish me luck. ♥️

Now for the long walk to the doctor's office
A corridor in the back of a GP surgery, with a lovely carpet. Some would say an overlooked pattern... Just watch out for the industrial bin.

Bugger. No magazines. Might as well read the posters.
A couple of GP surgery posters - one that reads 'Get Fit! We shouldn't have to keep telling you.' and another that reads 'Do not give blood. Have you seen the state of yourself? No one needs your manky-arsed 0+.' They help to relax me while I wait...

At least the waiting room's not too cold
Cosy looking waiting room, if you ignore the sacks of human waste, the uncovered gaps in the floorboards and the bloody hand prints on the walls... A range of posters talk about the benefits of smoking vapes, not trusting old people because they spread germs, the joy of smelling toast and the disease of the month: 'curtistigers'

Rob Gilroy @robgilroy.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
Well, looks like a trip to see them, for me...
Dilapidated looking GP surgery, complete with discounted flu jabs, a wheelchair that's been clamped, a syringe bin, SunLife advert and a vulture. Quaint though.

Spot the difference:
A pathetically LinkedIn-ish announcement from George 'Austerity' Osborne, claiming that he had a right good think about what job he wants and decided OpenAI were the only choice. Because of some vaguely wanky reasons and something about the people who run it not looking like completely desperate manure sales man reaching bonus day. The cuntyest bunch of cunts there is.An image of Michael La Vache in a turtle neck sweater with his finger over his mouth in front of a sign that reads 'CryptoFascist'. The caption reads 'He is now President of Global Affairs for the digital currency software firm CryptoFascist. Based at their head office in Dildo, Sillycunt Valley.'

Because even in satire, I knew not to go overboard.

It's not every day you get to play a Reform-leaning aristocratic Colonel Mustard with a pipe *and* monocle, so you better believe I grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Another joyous @murderinccomedy.bsky.social gig at @alaughinstockport.bsky.social
Just your average Rob in mustard scarf and tie with a plastic pipe and monocle, against a dilapidated background. Think Burgess Meredith in Batman but fatter, northern and with less hair.

Promotional image of Boris Johnson for his shit-eating autobiography. In which he looks very distinguished and not like an unkempt blimp that's been rolled in pubes.

Some things never change...
Fancy supplement type profile of Michael La Vache MP, complete with cringeworthy photos in 'fashionable' clothes and the headline 'Bad Boys Don't Cry: Is Michael La Vache the future of free speech and conservative politics?'

Because, you know, life is cyclical. And the shite continues to float to the top.Extract of the Michael La Vache profile in which he talks a lot about having learnt from his experiences while also believing there's nothing to be gleaned from them.A full page image of Michael looking like a right cunt. With the quote: 'I think people are scared to hear the truth. Well, I'm sorry but knock, knock: it's the truth calling... or knocking.'

Ugh.Another extract of text in which Michael vows to start putting himself and his needs first. Because of course he does.

Complete with an image of him in a chunky knit sweater pulled up over his hands and mouth. If they're going for adorable, it just comes off as rigor mortis chic.

Lovely evening attending the BBC's Contains Strong Language festival in Bradford. Highlights were seeing Mark Gatiss, Jeremy Dyson and Neil Hannon on stage, being delightful. Lots of brilliant, inspirational people together.
Image of the Loose Ends stage at the St George's Hall theatre in Bradford, as part of the Contains Strong Language festival. Lots of seats and microphones and the yellow festival branding. No famous people though...
