Can you tell I’m bored on a train? What’s your fave Pitbull song? Me and my sister regularly talk about how loads of songs in the early 2010s were all about not being able to pay your rent but still going out to party anyway. I WORK MY ASS OFF, I STILL CAN’T PAY IT THO. youtu.be/bTXJQ5ql5Fw

You so fancyyyyy!

Healthy! But also - I have *issues* with yogurt due to attending Slimming World many years ago and having too many Muller Lights 🤣🤣

Oooof! That sounds like Autumn in a bowl! Nice

GOT on a train. I can’t even type proper sentences now 🤪

Sometimes I sit on here trying to think of something profound or witty to say and it’s just like all craic and drive has left my body because of the *state of the world* and all that. So…what has everyone had for their tea? I had a toastie from Greggs before I go on a train. Classy

Couldn't write it better could ya 🤪 Feels like we're genuinely living in an episode of The Thick of It.

So irritating! lol

Sick to death of those SAP AI ads on LinkedIn showing office staff rolling down a hill or swimming underwater. So weird and annoying.

Oh no - I'm not on Twitter/X this year to see Jeremy Clarkson's inevitable daft tweet about his crap A Level results.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.
