Never entirely sure what to write here. I guess professional git sums me up. Likes annoying Tory politicians. As this place has become very popular: my opinions and utter drivel are my own and not connected to my employer

I know what it’s like to be a functioning narcotic addict. On Thursday I had 4 strepsils and still did a full day’s work. The recommended amount is 3. In the office they call me Johnny Rotten although that could be because of my poor personal hygiene and fungal foot infection

I’m betting you’ve got yours filed in your record of achievement haven’t you?

Honey, I shrunk the Bollocks

I bought a great coat, really modern and made me look younger than my years. I then saw Jonathan Gullis wearing the same coat. Never wore it again

Hmmm, this pub brewed ale has a very unique flavour. Very hoppy with a sharp ammonia aftertaste.

I prefer to educate when I’m drunkenly shouting at sports events. “Europe and the European Union are two separate things. One is the continent and the other is a grouping of like minded countries from Europe who want greater political cooperation and financial/trade alignment”

I would like to see the signing locations moved so that they are in the centre of each of the existing areas. Ok it might mean you do a signing in the middle of a moor or river but it would be fun. Not for you, for us.

Makes sense now I think about it

My favourite Home Alone is conspiracy is that the family famously didn’t fly to Dallas but went to Paris instead. Why? Well JFK was killed in Dallas. Worried they’d be recognised? Also Kieron Culkin’s initials are KC which could stand for Killed Kennedy, if you replace the C with a K

Funnily enough several of the early aviation pioneers landed vertically at Brooklands too.

Every other post of his trash talks gates. The hypocrisy of it stinks especially given how much gates gave to him in the early days. Now since he took that cash from Big Door he’s conveniently forgotten his past.

Not all of us are internet geniuses like you @sirmichael.bsky.social! I don’t know how to delete a Wikipedia page. Is there a phone number for Wikipedia I could call and ask for it to be deleted? Here’s the correct page as requested en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors

Just finished the fantastic The Big Hop by @rooneyvision.bsky.social about the first flight over the Atlantic. It’s one of those bits of history that I had no idea about. A gripping read. I grew up near to Brooklands and had no idea about the aviation history of the place too.

Ha ha! I was chosen, perhaps because of my pure English blood. We’re allowed to use social media up here so that’s how you’re seeing this. It’s great fun. Quite a lot more fire and seas of lava than the books say. Gotta go, I’ve got a badminton reservation with Margaret Thatcher at 2

Corbyn has sent a cease and desist letter to S Club 7 after they claimed (20 years ago) that there ain’t no party like an S Club party.

With the introduction of the new rules I think Barcelona or Kettering have a slight advantage. Being able to bring on one player who is driving a monster truck suits the style of play both excel at

It’ll be great to be able to view meta content just through my glasses. Being force fed a local news click bait article from a region 200 miles away or my parents neighbours opinions on migration, will really enhance my life

A holiday isn’t a holiday without a slightly out of focus photo of a lizard. Extra points if you nearly fall off the balcony taking it

I bet Sir Barry Ceefax is worth more

This a good question and I think only Alyssa can answer it. Yet her silence speaks volumes. She failed to hand over the CV that @sirmichael.bsky.social didn’t submit and now she won’t admit to why she serves coffee that is too hot

Very wise and kind of you to turn them down. I hope they are grateful. I’d also question their competence as I thought my being a barista took years of training. They don’t even ask if you are interested in the law or qualified. I think you’ve dodged a bullet here

There is a certain irony here in that after shopping whilst drunk, I bought 7 Life of Christ in Cats tea towels thinking they would make good gifts
