Wait, what? Sorry, I just tried to respond and apologise for being a dick and I couldn't. But now I can.

I wrote a whole thing about being autistic and single and sad and now I just look like. Oh.

I have tried to make this witty, and I just can't. The McLaren that invented folding aircraft wheels invented folding child buggies.

But Americans were too stupid to not trap children's fingers so they aren't allowed them.

If there was a point to my reply it was lost long ago.

And, for the record, their music is shit.

Also. No.

I stopped listening to Moby when his paedo urges towards Natalie Portman were made public.

None of my musical heroes were saints, although most harmed themselves before others.

But Oasis were all about harming others.

That swagger was hate, projected towards the 'other', be that posh people or southerners.

I may be southern and vaguely posh, but my discontent is unbiased.

Wait, what?

You are justifying egregious behaviour because music?

But Oasis's whole thing was their attitude, and to be honest the music is derivative at best.

Whilst I appreciate that cats are the touchstone of uncontrollable, one could place the poisoned food in a place physically unreachable by adored felines.

Little fucks can get anywhere. So poison that.

Sorry. I entered a dark place.

I feel awful because I cannot remember the context but find your comment so universally applicable.

I will look for my original comment. One moment. But the cat tho

First, thank you for a very human response.

Second, and this may just be a British thing, promotional emails are incessant. Yes there may be a specific black Friday thing (which we adopted through reflective colonialism) but honestly no more than usual.

Christmas is worse.

I don't wish to turn your world dark, but if they like a particular food dry, they will love it moist. Moisten and poison. I think I breached some laws even mentioning that.

Also, I am aware that this is the most autistic response to a casual remark
November 29, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Is there a specific date for those? Sorry, I'm not cognitively firing on all cylinders. Not firing on all cognitive cylinders?

I'm mentally fucked.

Honest question, from what should we be unsubscribing?

Yes I have been living under a rock and that is only slightly metaphorical.

I'm not a well man, but I really do want to know if I'm doing something wrong.

Oasis are, and always will be, slightly unpleasant bullies. The guys that stand in your way outside the toilet.

Playing oddly aggressive Beatles covers for some reason.

It's not a class thing. It's a liking bullies thing. You do you.

I'm sure I won't be the first person to use the phrase "punching above his weight".

You are a lovely chap and all, but.

I'm not at all jealous of the superstar author who beautiful women adore...
