It's 2026. Can TV sport streamers please figure out how picture in picture works. I don't need a full screen replay of a crappy shot when the match is going on in the background.

I can't quite figure out if Andor is thoughtful, well plotted, mature sci fi or a trudging bore.

Welcomed the new year by staying in bed. Now settling into the important task of sitting down.

Me in my 20s: it's NYE, when shall I start drinking?

Me in my 40s: it's NYE, when shall I time taking some painkillers so that I don't fall asleep too early? And what's with these fireworks, they're scaring the cats.

My main 3 dreams;

1. At school and I'm the only person who doesn't have a lesson schedule, so don't know where to go
2. I have an exam I forgot about and haven't prepped for
3. Driving and can't stop the car in time at the lights

It ain't exactly subtle.

Spent all of Christmas during family visits feeling tired and achey, fuelled by cocodamol to make it through which in turn contributed to me being zoned out and not present.

Back in my own house and feeling much more energised, along with a side order of guilt and self-recrimination.

Mum asked if I wanted cold turkey. Said I was trying to give it up.

Chronic Fatigue has taken over my life so thoroughly, I even had a dream about being in pain last night.

Feel like we sleep on how good Inspectah Deck is. Spits some of the hardest rhymes across all of the Wu's output. Absolute beast of an MC.

Thank Goodness You're Here! What a brilliant, inventive, hilarious couple of hours gaming, by 'eck.

I've got that bloody Foxy Shazam song stuck in my head after watching Peacemaker.

All together now;
"La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

My weekend viewing has consisted of Peacemaker followed by Brassic.

I'm not sure which crew is more nuts.

A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

It sucks. So I thought I'd write about it.
My Chronic Fatigue Journey
Where Do We Start? For the last few years I have been battling a variety of symptoms. They are so persistent and underlying in nature that it is difficult to identify exactly when they started or w…

I love low tempo tactics on Football Manager. Look at that defence!

This chronic fatigue business is doing me in. Feels like life has just seeped out of me 😩

I find Mikel Arteta to be a thoroughly annoying man.

First proper lie for 5 months, back in my own house with a super comfy, brand new mattress...

...and I wake up feeling exhausted and with a banging headache.

Chronic conditions suck.

I went unbeaten in the league, won every trophy except the Milk Cup and yet still deleted my save and started over because I wasn't happy with something.

I may have issues #FM24

I'm pretty competent, all things considered. I'm respected by my peers. I receive positive feedback. I am often reminded how my team, and my role specifically, add value to the business.

And yet I constantly feel like an absolute fraud who nicks a living on a daily basis.
