Checking the back of a crisp packet for recycling information and it had a "do not microwave" warning. Who the fuck microwaves crisps? Especially inside the packet?

Remind me next year to set up an auto-delete filter for any emails received in February with the words "roses" or "valentine" in them. I haven't shouted "oh piss off" at a screen so much since I last watched commercial TV after 9pm.

Someone with a building company seems to be very bad at giving out their email address correctly, as I keep getting emails from their customers and suppliers, most of whom find it very difficult to understand that they have the wrong damn email address and I don't know a Derek or a Ray.

OK so I've been using Qobuz for 2 weeks now, it's generally pretty good BUT there's quite a few albums/tracks that I like to listen to which are missing, which is currently making me uneasy about a full switchover.

Fuck your ChatGPT, if I want to see a caricature of myself I will make the effort to go to the seaside and pay £15 for a cruel man to give me body dysmorphia like we’ve always done.

Said it before, and I’ll say it again, but for people like me, this would be transformative - it would stabilise our incomes, and allow us to plough more time into creative work and less into stuff anyone could be doing.

Dear stupid people, if the gate attendant at the airport calls groups 1 and 2 to board, there’s no point you going over to stand in the way when you’re group 8

I honestly think if you click "skip credits" on The Muppet Show, it should boot you out of the entire episode. It's a test you've failed, and you now don't deserve to watch.

My inner northerner wouldn’t allow me to pay £30 for a short cab ride, so ended up getting the night bus to the station. Despite my fears, made it in plenty of time. Only problem is, I’ve had about 3 hours’ sleep so might end up snoring on the plane.

By the time I’ve paid £11.50 for a train to London, £3.10 for a tube journey, £30ish for a taxi to the station tomorrow, and £16.50 for the Stansted Express, I’m not entirely sure I couldn’t have paid for a direct taxi from home tomorrow morning for the same price.

I have 20kg of hold luggage to fit 4 days of rowing kit into. Unfortunately it's due to absolutely piss it down the whole time, so I'm having to take all my waterproofs and bank on getting drenched each time.

Slow clap to whoever timed both night bus options from my sister's place to the rail station to run at basically the same time, and both to just miss the early morning Stansted Express connection (or make it such a tight connection as to be too risky)

I wish messages in muted conversations on WhatsApp would automatically mark as read. It defeats half the point of muting it if I'm constantly having to go in and clear the unread status.
