It's the Live Nation monopoly. It's impossible to tour an arena size show without them.

I've simply stopped going to the big artists myself (and comedians). Local venues and festivals are the way

I'm just waiting for a call can you let me know when I get one

My phone: got it, all noises activated

No no, just this next call

Phone: emails, FULL VOLUME

*Sigh* can you at least set it back for me in an hour?

PHONE GO CLICKY FOR EVERYTHING NOW

No, you're right, silly me. When I said sort low to high, what I actually wanted to see first were some more expensive, irrelevant, sponsored items

Shopping sites that don't reset the sorting each time I change a filter, I like you guys.
Shopping sites that default the sort to "price: low to high" when I first go on, absolute bffs

I don't think I've ever phoned up a company to find out their opening hours, it certainly shouldn't be the first option on any phone system

I find the amount of gambling adverts in football absolutely insane, but I get it, money.
I find it even worse that Sky's coverage is sponsored by the British Army

This is your Sunday reminder to turn on MFA on any account you can when you see it, lest you be locked out of your worlds forever

When my TV freezes, it can remember every single button press and replay then with such accuracy and speed once unfrozen.
But if I uninstall, or even move the Netflix app the very next day "oopsie, I forgot you didn't want that, it's back"

It really is excellent, the story is great and I love all the cast. I get so happy when I recognise the next voice

Also, the admin of some of those member rewards sounds like a whole job in itself

Actually, even ignoring the podcast for a minute (if you can). This is just excellent value if you're planning to see Mark at some point for the tickets alone.

I'd quite imagine this would be a Martin Lewis hack for a Watson fan

Right! They're just so big

They're SO BIG. I don't understand why this isn't talked about daily

Have you seen how big cars in America are? Like seriously the size of them?

I know they have bigger (ha) problems over there right now. But seriously, have you seen how big the cars are?

I don't feel like people appreciate how big the cars actually are over there. They're so big

A screen shot from Mark Watson's patreon. With a notable line: Unlimited MW show tickets each year (within reasonable limits)

"reasonable" could be an interesting definition to test for someone with time on their hands

Just changed the batteries in my remote instead of swapping them round for the fiftieth time so you could say my Friday night is going pretty well.

Duracell and everything

Sorry for the delay, I could have replied sooner, I just didn't, I've thought about replying for least 10 times longer than this reply has taken and yet here we are. Anyway, the reply is irrelevant now, but here it is, nonetheless, underwhelming and unhelpful. Let me know if you need anything else!

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

I know this is largely a joke about being busy, but I genuinely do have some time on my hands these days and I'd love some *experience*

No one is looking at a spreadsheet I made today and thanking me live on national telly at the data analyst of the year awards

Listening to Romesh's podcast talking about his inspirational comics, some greats. I find it mad that someone looks at your job, replicates it, then 10, 20, 30 years later harps on about you being the starting point for their success.

I can't imagine what that must be like

Always surprised that email remains relevant in modern times. It should have died out 10+ years ago.

Every single time I get a spam email, or a mailing list, I think how is this not just all emails is?

Automation and bots have been around for so long and email has still somehow survived, thrived

As well as an excellent show about it, @hashtagcerys.bsky.social has a patreon for road signs which I've been enjoying catching up on

I am very confident there is a strong overlap between my Bluesky and road signs

I couldn't stick around until the end, but that does mean I ended my day with Mr Blanks himself, Matthew Highton. An unexpectedly moving comeback with the expected silliness and a surprising amount of Rasputin

Musical Chairs: Musical Stand-Up Comedy with Friz Frizzle and Friends - Glasgow International Comedy Festival A concentrated blast of musical stand-up comedy.

GLASGOW INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL! Catch me, Ashley Frieze and Edi Johnston with our three-hander hour MUSICAL CHAIRS on March 14th. Get your tickets now please.

Michael Brunström on stage. Red socks, grey trousers, white shirt and a special hat (a green/grey trilby sort of thing). Crossbow in hand, halfway through a movement

How about William Tell, Algorithms, and Joaquin Phoenix?

Michael Brunström: William Tell versus the Algorithm is for you

Yeah, pretty similar review for this one. No spoilers but there is an apple and an algorithm involved.

It's chaotic, energetic, and incredibly hard to follow. Delightful

I will do my best, although the last time I saw him I came out not knowing which way was up

A picture of various road signs on the floor of a stage. They're made of cardboard. Some highlights are: gated railway, children, parking

Are you interested in a show specifically about road signs? Do you have some sort of special interests?
Do you like facts?

See Cerys Bradley talk about road signs for an hour. It is an excellent way to spend your time
