This is such a shame, I love Neal’s Yard. You go in there, and they just keep handing you little pieces of different delicious cheeses until you crumble and give them all of your money. It’s such a charming way of doing things, I overspend every single time, and never regret it.

‘Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements’ but like it’s from the minaret of a mosque run by the hard of hearing. It’s aggressive.

I reckon you can still do it. Buying lumps of sawn hardwood is expensive, but if you start looking for what people throw away you can do it. You can find hardwood that is completely illegal to cut and sell these days if you look for mid century furniture that’s getting thrown out. Or softwoods. You’re not stupid, and you can carve if you want to.

A girl sidled up to me at college when I was About 18 and just said “you have beautiful veins”

The persistent bullshit cuntery is exhausting. This feels like a tactic, trumpian relentless attention grabbing. Fuck him.

How can you be so bent out of shape as a human to think that fucking over kids at the Evelina is the way to spend your day, to make your daily bread.

Feels like a super power when you’re scuba diving and you see all the other divers holding their noses!

I went to a party in the top bit once. It’s just a sort of empty corridor that you can hire. Amazing views down the river.

One evening I built a campfire to keep warm on the banks of a river in southern France. As the fire got going, millions of moths poured from the trees into the flames. As the numbers increased the flames leapt higher, and the moths became the fuel. The horror, the horror…

We were standing in the pub, and I’d just bought a round. I gave my mate a fresh pint, and like a complete piss head he let it slip through his fingers. It landed on the floor between us with a thunk, not a single drop spilled. It just nailed the landing, completely solid. Fucking witchcraft.

O cutting board, cutting board, wherefore art thou cutting board?

Yeah, I’m on the web app and constantly getting a blank feed. Scrolling sometimes fixes it but not always. When I searched for this community to see if it’s just me, I just got blank screen over and over, so had to find a different route.

Followed government pay guidelines and froze pay for 12 fucking years.

Have you listened to’The Retrievals’ the Serial podcast? Terrifying systematic denial of women’s pain.

I love watching BMX videos. I’m old and don’t ride, but hey, plenty of people watch sports that they don’t play. I just happen to like BMX.

I’ve preemptively taken your advice on board, and the sad reality is that the glut was short lived. Looks like I’ll be going up the road again…

Not just globally, also locally. At my house.

Thanks, I hate it.
