So here’s Alexander getting WHAMmed during today’s #traitorsuk

That smile. 🥵

I had so much Champagne and wine last night. But ate cheese all the way through.

Zero hangover. I will now always have parm when out in the village.

Andy Burnham royally fucked up allowing Manchester to be split east/west on New Years Eve to entertain fireworks at St Peter’s.

Never again. Some regions give two free days of transit. Manchester makes it worse.

Fuck this.

“Did my last trick leave his phone?”

Me: I come from a broken home.
Bob the builder, biting his lower lip: how broken?

But who is Robbie Williams. Couldn’t pick him out in a police line up.

If both of these are not met, I will block you.

For the avoidance of doubt you receiving a read receipt on an app, me not replying within 15 minutes, and you sending “?” is only acceptable if both of the following conditions are met:

1) We’ve fucked; and
2) One of us is on the way to the other to fuck again.

Lovely. Thanks for the warning. Is it slower

The hail in Salford has been quite intense.

Not Brits trying to draw lines in North America for the lulz.

Mine is worse. I look like an Ivy League graduate who was acquitted of rape charges because he was “young and full of promise” on a victory book tour of young Republican meetings. That smile they give me is manic.

I admit one of the first things I check in thirst traps are the plug sockets.

Not sorry, but I’m swiping left when I see this =•.

Not yet. It should be coming today, on the holiest of garbage dumping days.

Sue Grey and Simon Case being elevated on the same list is just terminally British. #lords #ukpol

They're doing important work, of course 🫡

Nothing says December 19th like hearing the Xbox login sound on a Teams call.

Let’s start a fight between GenAI and those who profit from century long copyright.

Let’s Solomon the copyright act in the UK.

Set the copyright length to 20 years, or less with public dedication.

People who hate Big AI should hate copyright more. The former is a bubble which will pop…

Ofcom apologises for 'ill-judged' porn joke job ad Campaigners say the post, by a senior manager at the regulator, treats porn as a job perk.

Baroness Killjoy, am I right? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Baroness Kidron, porn is legal. Rape is clearly not. Stop conflating the two.

Yup. When I clarified due to prompting by my husband that they’re fruit pies with no meat things calmed down a fair bit.

Sudden remembering of the horror I instilled upon the Canadian Border Police when I told them I was bringing Mince Pies to my dad from the United Kingdom.

I can laugh now, a fortnight later.

Me, incredibly confused, “it’s just mince meat.” The border police growing increasingly worried.

Confirmed: being excited about new Gavin & Stacey is highly correlated with having no negative opinions about Wes Streeting.

Andrew has marked himself safe from England’s poorest designed airport.

alo, American Lulu without the CSR and a creepy founder.

Is ever #adventOfCode going to have a part two? Because the cortisole spike when I get a related problem I would have loved to accounted for in the first spec *PERFECTLY* replicates the stress I get at work being micromanaged as an engineer.

THIS IS FUCKING AWFUL.

A friend from my last employer is doing #aoc2024, and asked whether I was too.

My immediate response was “do you want me to do it with you?”

So here I am doing Advent of Code. And for the first few days it’s going to be on an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard.

Aren’t I a good friend?

The No Go Zones of Manchester Elon won’t warn you about.
