Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

I think pumpkin spice is confusing, because spicy pumpkin soup IS a thing, but that’s not what’s in the drink.

I’ve received an AI-written email response. I suspect this because it mostly repeats the email that I wrote first back to me. Even worse, no reply was needed or if the person wanted to they could have just written “thanks.” This is how the robots get us: by wasting our time until we die.

October.
I see I haven’t written anything since the rapture.
I’m out of things to say.

Does abundance of venison mean some deers ate it?

There’s one lives round the corner from me and it takes no holidays

Does Andy want to be the leader tho? I think he’s said he likes his current job. And we like him in Manchester because he actually achieves things.

Wow! My one attempt at growing a pumpkin produced an enormous plant that harboured slugs, killed all its neighbours and grew 0 pumpkins despite my efforts to pollinate it!

I’ve seen a few news things about them doing this. One escaped at night, broke into a different tank, ate some of the animals in there, and then went home to look innocent. Truly ingenious

You could go to an aquarium where some of them are a bit escape-y

The internet connection has been down for 5 days.
The internet provider also claims their system that would allow them to check if anyone is fixing it is also down. So no-one knows why is wrong, why, if anyone can or will fix it, or anything else.
No, you don’t get a refund for this.

Why does it show a test? Is opera pregnant? Will she make operettas?!

All of the insomnia advice says don’t go to bed earlier to make up for the lack of sleep but none of it says how you are supposed to keep awake?

Went to see @samaverycomedy.com in the Lowry…a very good end to my terrible week!
Go to see him if you can, before he becomes too famous and the tickets are too expensive. Which seems sure to happen soon.

I had thought that everything that could have gone wrong this week had gone wrong, but now the car - that supposedly sailed thru its MOT a month ago - won’t start.
How do I convince the universe to change course?

Today is the last day of non-autumn, astronomically. (It is the equinox). From tomorrow I must accept autumn.
