So, #Vinted is now just basically fake clobber, right? Just flooded with designer gear at 1/10th of the price it would be, even used.

I will never accept the fact that I can be in central London or certain parts of the M25 and get no 4G, yet get perfect service on a remote beach in Greece or island in the Maldives.

I am far too pleased with myself about this…

Like honestly, for £2,000 of phone, I feel like Apple stores could comfortably replace screens for £25-50 a pop.

THAT is the feature I want. Not more megapixels.

How do people afford to dress themselves in 2025?! Rarely do I go shopping, but when I do, I’m staggered by how expensive even plain t-shirts, trainers and jumpers have become.

Just picked up a mid-brand cotton crew neck t-shirt and it was £85! Mental.

I concur…

#TheRoottreesAreDead

Well, that was silly fun! Love this kind of format.

Just got a call that my 72-year-old Mum had a fall because she saw #airwalking on #TikTok and decided to give it a go around her living room.

FFS, what is wrong with boomers?!

This. This is beautiful 🥲

Panormo Village may the single most beautiful village (by night) I’ve seen in all our travels across Greece.

And crucially, please do so un-redacted….

One series of Clarkson’s farm and my wife and son are now treating themselves as experts on tractors…

#HappyGilmore2 is definitely in the top 5 worst films I’ve ever watched. Absolutely horrendous script, a mess in terms of storytelling, cringey dialogue….did not like.

Worst thing about @Reddit?

It’s a platform that literally rewards you for saying things that people agree with and calls it bad karma when you have an opinion they don’t like.

That seems problematical.

YouTube has become virtually unusable in the last year. Endless ads, horrible handoffs from hyperlinks, insistence on logins.

Slowly killing the platform.

Harlan Coben has written some unbelievable books, but “The Match” may just be my favourite I’ve read so far.

So nice to see a story that conclude so fully, with a plot that has twists and turns but yet concludes with a wholly satisfying (and logical) answer to all of your questions.

Superb.

Arteta has done a good job of raising the floor, time to now raise the roof.

Turns out, people on Reddit are REALLY against people getting artificial grass put down in their back gardens…

#TheAlters is erm….not particularly fun.

There are two types of people in this world - those who get on a train and sit down and those who walk the length of the train, carriage after carriage, barging everybody out of the way to get ‘the perfect seat’

For a £100+ trainer, there may be nothing worse than a Nike Motiva for looking absolutely awful after only a few uses.

£76 on a little top up shop in Aldi.

Yup, I’m definitely moving abroad. The UK has gone absolutely stark raving mad.

What…a…ludicrous penalty decision!
