Martin Shipp @shippco.bsky.social · 18/03/2026The last time I used Asda's delivery service it turned up with none of the fresh or frozen items. No explanation, they just weren't there. Tried again this week; ordered a load of stuff for delivery 6 - 7pm, got a text at 7.30 saying it was cancelled. No reason. So: sod you, Asda. 001
Martin Shipp @shippco.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Fancied an affogato but couldn't be arsed to brew espresso. Put a few drops of garlic/chili Cholula on a scoop of vanilla instead. Highly recommended. 000

Martin Shipp @shippco.bsky.social · 18/01/2026I hate to say this but Prince Harry seems like a half-way decent bloke. Made a good job of his pre-Xmas skit on Colbert, obviously loves his missus. I may feel a twinge of regret when the revolution comes. 000

Martin Shipp @shippco.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Asda delivery yesterday, none of the fresh or chilled items in it. Morrisons this morning, very little on the shelves. Supply chain problems? The beginning of a food crisis? I'm up for a riot if it comes to it, who's joining me? 010

Martin Shipp @shippco.bsky.social · 13/05/2025I mean, I could go on about how a drunken mistake (not mine, I hasten to add) five years ago has led to me having to fork out nearly a grand this week, but what's the point? 000

Get home, sit down to take my boots off - power cut. Sat here in the dark without even a cuppa. Pray for me and my non-existent children. 000
