Haha yeah that’s my concern. (At least my children will know this for themselves, kind of sad that later generations will just have this information passed down to them without my consent.)

Serious question. Have you literally ever considered what your *great-grandchildren* will think about you and your life? Your children sure, your grandchildren probably.

But your great-grandchildren?

A headline reading “Chinese teens to pay $300,000 for urinating in soup” which I completely misread to be a fetish

I see the super rich have a new fetish

Or a sitcommunism maybe

Our two favourite rascals with the headline: Hot mic catches Xi and Putin discussing organ transplants and immortality

just had a cracking idea for a buddy movie 🎬

Grimsby Town now hold the right to have Blundell Park referred to as The Theatre of Breams from now on.

I mean it should be no surprise Grimsby are good at finding the net

Aww wonderful. #TheyFoundAWay (Scoring more goals than the other team.)

My son and his dog recreating the front cover of the excellent book Hairy Maclary and Zachary Quack.

We have Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy but no Scarface Claw (the toughest tom in town!)

A message from my son saying “can we stay a little longer we’re just doing some Pilates”

Half nine on a Saturday night. We used to be a proper country.

In France “Pierre has entered the chat” is a matter for their version of the RSPCA

I have a long history of sporting humiliations behind me but having to allow another family to play through us at crazy golf is a new low

Stop what you are doing right now and play Just Be Simple, possibly one of the best songs ever

Ha, indeed. It’s a thing of pure beauty.

What a treat, and yes I looked him up and what a tragedy.

Thank you, Bryan. I’ll seek out those covers asap, sounds awesome,

Great noted, thank you. I’m going all in on all of his work.

And you’re usually correct by the sound of it.

Brilliant thank you James! I’ll get on that - much appreciated.

It’s just beautiful. Can’t stop listening to it, god knows how I’ve missed it until now.

YES. Thanks Andrew, hope you’re well. x

Magnolia Electric Co. (Deluxe Edition) Songs: Ohia · Album · 2003 · 19 songs

The sleeve art for Electric Magnolia Co by Songs: Ohia - Jason Molina

Forgive me, I can’t remember who, but someone recommended this recently and one of the replies called it possibly the best album ever. I’d never heard of it (or Songs: Ohia at all, somehow) but holy sweet Jesus they were right. Doing my civic duty by passing the recommendation on.

A beautiful gag from the end of The Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld. “He’s moving out of the country. Moving to Argentina!”

I think this is my favourite throwaway gag ever, blink and you’ll miss it magic.

Let’s make it happen!

Sky Sports headlines suggesting Jake Paul wants to fight Anthony Joshua and, erm, Joey Essex

some people might think Sky Sports leading with Jake Paul’s next opponent being maybe Anthony Joshua but also maybe Joey Essex could mean boxing is becoming an absolute clown show but no not me let’s go for it sounds great

somebody told me dogs have no sense of time so does that mean my dog thinks I’ve been gone for months when I’ve popped to the shops or that he won’t notice while I’m away on holiday and please just say the latter to make me feel better

A bot saying “nice chatting with you. Bye!” in response to me pointing out they’ve booked the wrong dates for some dinner reservations.

Just used a bot to make some holiday dinner reservations and somehow they’ve booked them all for October not August. Got to admire the sassiness here though.

The most underrated thing about holidays is that laundry gets exciting. Ooh I’ll wear that for dinner on the Tuesday night, can’t wait to wash and iron it.

A fun game you can play in the school holidays is working out exactly which international time zone your children have inexplicably moved into.
