I loved the bit about what the prop maker had written in the old diary!

@vcorenmitchell.bsky.social I’m probably neither the first nor the last to send this but…

A Ufit 500ml protein shake has 50g of protein, which is pretty high for off the shelf. That means 10ml of shake per gram of protein. For jizz, it’s between 1.3ml to 15 ml to get the same, depending on the quality of man-muck.

You’d need the density of jizz to compare ml to g.

Although the chances of her wanting to marry such a knobhead are probably quite low…

Rose can have up to 40 petals, but could be as few as 20. For a wild rose, it could be fewer still.

Wife therefore needs to know variety of rose & husband’s tolerance for petal loss to enable her to calculate how many premarital shags she can have while retaining any value to her future husband.

The writer’s position is that a β€˜bare stem’ has no value. Each petal has some value, otherwise it would state removing just one entirely devalued the rose.

We don’t know if hubby is prepared to marry the rose at any particular level of depetalment, or if it’s only bare stems he won’t countenance.

Isn’t it because it’s from the Latin, and therefore a consonant after a vowel would be short, or something like that?

The overall amount of night is getting slightly longer after the Solstice, but actual sunset occurs fractionally later on the 22nd, so not until tomorrow…

I am aware exactly how much of a nerd it makes me saying that.

This story about the Ukrainian man committing arson attacks on properties and vehicles associated with the PM must be very difficult for the Gammons as they flip between whether it’s criminal foreigners they hate most or Keir Starmer.

On the other hand, we have now cracked perpetual motion…

If it’s PP plastic (no 5) (most dvd cases are) your local council recycling centre should take it.

Imagine defending that painful shit show tonight, and yet I’ve seen people do it.

How do you watch a display of classless bullying and think, β€œThat’s the leaders I want?”

Can’t begin to express how gutted I am for my American pals, who will be dying with shame at what we just witnessed. A nadir.

It was awful, unquestionably (and my conscience is not clear in this particular respect, to my shame).

No arbitrarily-defined cohort of people is uniquely awful however. That doesn’t excuse what we kids did in the eighties, but similar is thrown at every generation. Hopefully we grow out it.

I’m a stickler for β€˜yours sincerely’ and β€˜yours faithfully’ for external correspondence and it drives me wappy that some of our automated templates are configured to use the incorrect one.

I don’t have particularly strong feelings about β€˜kind regards’ other than it feels tautologous and β€˜regards’ feels like it should be an appropriate level of politeness for a colleague.

If it’s a colleague I’m more friendly with, it’ll probably be β€˜Hi’ and β€˜Cheers’!

If I type 'Regards,' in a sign off, I now have it autocorrect to 'Kind regards,' because apparently, unless I qualify the sort of regards I'm sending, people will infer they're shitty ones.

'Regards' was fine for years, apparently now it's not.

People are weird.

I am in Manchester to watch a man from the YouTubes that eats food.

How did I get here?*

* car. Not the point being made.

Just ordered 5 pairs of running socks. The exact same socks I buy roughly annually. Why is Amazon now recommending a) running socks b) different brands than those I always buy?

Skynet may well achieve awareness anytime now, but there’s no guarantee it will be brighter than a Labrador puppy.

I shall be very disappointed if they don’t call the Buffy sequel β€˜Buffy Revamped’.
