Usually found in a cafe or at the tip, or somewhere in between.
Joys of business travel. Crappy hotel room and….despite options of anywhere in London to go…a colleague who absolutely has to find a sports pub to watch Tottingham Spurs play soccerball.

My Italian is a bit rusty, but I think this says that if you’re carrying a little extra timber you should throw your lunch away and take a dog for a walk.

Unrelated, someone asked if I wanted to borrow their dog for 20 minutes.

Restaurants should be judged by their cutlery…make them provide a knife that can actually cut the food they serve.

….yes, I’ve just had to drag a pizza apart with a knife that’s pretty much a spatula

“Put a cow in the painting”
“…I haven’t seen one”
“Give it your best”

Only 4 days to go….338 candidates. Any of 337 will do, just to see the meltdown over the weekend.

I think my optimism has been raptured.

Might prepare for the rapture by watching this humdinger again…a defining classic of the rapture genre.

Beverley Knight had a great voice, but I could listen to this 20 times on loop and still not be able to hum it 10 mins later.

Popped out to the caff and some mad old boy has brought his snare drum out for lunch and is gently drumming away on a table outside….and he’s just done a little drumroll for a couple walking in.

Is it screwed up that every time I hear Paul Young on the radio I think of Gino Di Campo and guitars??

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

After coming off a general anaesthetic, I seem to have spent all night browsing Autotrader for camper vans? I’ve never wanted a camper van??
