That's because Donald Glover is the Don.

Signs you've been with your partner for a very long time #1.

Receiving a Valentine's card arouses suspicion and thoughts of psychological warfare.

Yes. First pair.

Picked them up last week.

Did as you said. Spent a bit more money and made sure they felt right.

Nothing like the annual pilgrimage to the frozen puddle for *checks notes* fun?

My kids were trying to get me to take them to one here.

Bear in mind that it's summer in NZ.

Get a Mac they said.

All your problems will be solved they said.

I've got to say I've not been that impressed switching back to a Mac from PC.

Safari is a nightmare.

When so much work is online it keeps screwing me over.

Need some time to figure out optimal settings for everything!

Mmmmm. Unsure about that.

As I have a head like Karl Pilkington it's hard to find glasses that suit.

Also won't be getting them until after Christmas. πŸ’°

I woke up yesterday freaking out.

My vision was blurred and I couldn't get it to correct.

My wife booked an optometrist appointment for me.

I was panicking and pretty upset.

But there is a happy ending.

Turns out Chris is middle-age and needs reading glasses.

Only in New Zealand.

My friend just messaged me and asked if I wanted to go for a coffee.

She lives out of town, but is coming into the city.

The reason?

To pick up some dead native birds from the airport which have been flown from an Island where they are pests.

This is fully on-brand for her.

Full English is the king of breakfasts.

I'm a UK immigrant living in New Zealand.

They don't really have the same "Greasy Spoon" culture here.

It's more higher-end cafe's.

You can get a cooked breakfast here, but you can't get a fried slice, a 'piece' or brown sauce.

The front cover of A True Called Quest's 1993 album - Midnight Marauders. Includes a jet-black figure painted in fluorescent green and red in a faux zebra stripe. Behind are a number of iconic hip-hop artists with can-style headphones. Their expressions allude to listening to a preview of the album and being blown-away by it. Artists including Beastie Boys, Africa Bambaata, Ice T, De La Soul and many others.

Tell me your favourite hip-hop album and then tell me why it's Midnight Marauders.
