Two shops, one called The Works, the other called Despar

Look on my Works, ye mighty, and Despar

After yesterday’s bulb drama, I had to do it all again. My car really didn’t like the LED bulbs I put in and beeped at me to tell me the (working) lights aren’t working. Like all the time: beep… beep… beep… beep… beep…

At least it went quicker today, now that I know the required 4D geometry.

My bulbs came with a pair of white cotton gloves for installing them. I feel like a snooker referee.

There is no way to change the bulbs without removing the headlight unit, and that needs a degree in four dimensional geometry to get the thing out and then back in to the space provided.

I just smash it with my fists until it works again.

Every time I change the headlight bulbs in my car, I always drop one of the light cluster mounting screws and it ends up deep inside the bumper. This time I came prepared with my (truly awesome) pound shop magnet on a stick.

I immediately dropped a plastic retaining clip down inside the bumper.

In The Rock, one of the bad guys calls Sean Connery (whose character was born in Glasgow), “An English prick” or some such. This is never addressed by Connery.

Hippocrates, Euclid, Aristotle, Democritus, Pericles, Leonadis, Homer; we have beaten them all, we have beaten them all! Nana Mouskouri, can you hear me? Nana Mouskouri... your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!

Well, that’s me for the next hour then.

It’s thoughtful of him to keep up to date and give his newer viewers a reason to hate him too.

Although, I think I discovered the Geoguesser game from watching his videos, so I have to thank him for that.

He pissed me off when he tried walking in a straight line across Scotland (which is pretty cool admittedly) in the middle of lockdown, when we were not allowed to travel between council areas. Prick.

I once thought it would be fun to record the songs that were number one on each of my birthdays. I didn’t do it, and the list is now so long that I’m not sure I have enough time left to complete it anyway.

The only reason I was even aware of this song in the first place, is that it was in one of the FIFA games at the time.

Hans Moleman from The Simpsons.

I’m not saying that Bluesky’s age verification is redundant, but by the time I held my phone far enough away from my face to take the picture, I couldn’t read the instructions anymore.

I remember somebody commenting that the rest of the world is absolutely fine in that movie - the UK just voted to be like that.

I still remember the smell of the soldering and my fascination at all the stuff in the back of the TV.

The worst thing is that after my initial appointment, they said they would only take £1000 for the circumcision.

Screenshot of an online advert offering circumcision for £2,724. There is a picture of a middle aged man, looking to the side and happily smiling, obviously unaware of what is lying in wait for him.

An online advert asking the viewer if they are interested in joining the orange order. The background is a blurred image of men marching while wearing orange sashes. They are all white.

Today I have had online adverts for circumcision and the orange order.

What the hell have I been clicking on to make the algorithm think I would be interested in either?

OMG

So many successful campaigns. Banger after banger.

You lost me at “sex” and “over a minute”

Happy birthday Jürgen Klopp.
