I’m tickled every time I go to put BBC News on an iPlayer asks if I want to watch from the start. Yes, please give me the news starting from November 1997, I missed a few episodes the first time round.
I’ve just been reminded Trustpilot exists, and am once again angry that there’s a widely used company whose entire business model is broadly a protection racket. Companies that pay them can dispute bad reviews, companies that don’t can’t.
QOTD from a YouTube video my son is watching: “A fully evolved Corbynite will be incredibly annoying to deal with”.
(Don’t @ me, I t’s a Pokemon video.)

Where do I report my local postman for cheating at wearing shorts in any weather, he’s got thermal trousers on underneath them.
I have just spent two days straight being sociable, if anyone needs me I’ll be hiding out avoiding any sort of human contact for the next week.
Come on folks. At least *try* to entice me into this article I had the tiniest shred of interest in to begin with.

I have so many questions.

Whenever I encounter my son’s cat when out and about she meows at me incessantly until I guide her home. She’ll keep running up ahead, then turning around and checking I’m still there, so clearly knows the way.
This evening it occurred to me that her distress is that she’s found me wandering around in the wild lands and needs to take me to safety before something terrible happens.
Went to the shops over lunch to get toilet roll. Just realised I didn’t get toilet roll.
Property buying continues to crawl along, today after waiting weeks for a response to a query from my solicitors the other side inform me “the council require a fee for this information, which was paid yesterday”.
This is literally your whole job. How were you unaware there would be a fee that needed paying?

Just been sent to bed by my flat because I stayed up too late watching YouTube. After ignoring the first change in lighting some time ago midnight came round and it turned off the TV.
Today’s Flight Sim bullshit was a flight cut short by an actual in-flight emergency, in the form of my joystick breaking and repeatedly getting stuck when banking. Just about landed the plane on the runway, with a lot of stall warnings, and a terrible approach.
And to think I typically make fun of the people who do the full pre-flight checklist including checking controls in a simulator.
