Making bloody fried rice tonight and when I threw onions in the wok some hot oil splashed out onto my arm. Half an hour of cold water and now got a wet flannel on it. Bloody sore

Some people really don’t get sarcasm do they. Made an over the top sarcastic reply to someone who replied to me and it seems I’ve been blocked. May start italicising my sarcastic messages now

Wants name as it exactly appears on your card but won’t accept it if preceded by Mr, Dr etc so gets you to remove title but then won’t verify as the name on payment method has changed.

How could I have possibly known that Peter Mandelson couldn't be 100% taken at his word, says Keir Starmer, about a man whose public nicknames include 'the Prince of Darkness' and 'the Dark Lord'

Growing up in the closet in the 80s and early 90s there was a lot of shite to bring you down, the Cold War, AIDS, Thatcher and section 28 to name a few but music wasn’t one of them. Randomly got recommended this on YouTube and it’s glorious. Depeche Mode were so fucking good #musicsky #DepecheMode

Loved Heated Rivalry but aside from the plot and characters it also highlighted something I’d completely forgotten - All the Things She Said by t.A.T.u. is an absolute banger (and the Harrison cover is too) #tvsky #HeatedRivalry

At this point players' unions should be pushing to outlaw obligations to buy based on no. of games played in loan deals.
Harvey Elliott expected to stay at #AVFC for the remainder of the campaign after failing to find an agreement on a return to Liverpool. Villa sources say no progress or recent discussions on the removal of the 10-game obligation.

Worth reposting. Utterly pointless and just wastes time
One thing I’ve never figured out is why referees regularly blow up before a corner is taken to warn players about grappling. Why? Everyone knows the rules. Just let the corner be taken and give any foul/penalty that arises. That extra stoppage and chat changes fuck all as far as I can see.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Used to love David Starkey’s documentaries about Kings and Queens and was watching one yesterday on YouTube that I came across that was posted on his own channel. Made the mistake of clicking on it to see what other videos he’s posted… he’s took a turn from Henry VIII and Bloody Mary…

It’s absolutely amazing that Sky Sports actually pays Ashley Williams and Michael Dawson to speak. I’ve just had the misfortune to listen to their thoughts for 5 minutes and would’ve paid a substantial sum for them to shut the fuck up

Well I thoroughly enjoyed the second series of The Night Manager. That finale was very intense and I didn’t expect the ending. Sets up a third series well but hope it’s less than 10 years in the making #tvsky #TheNightManager
