So … I procrastinated on a ticket at work last week because I started to overthink.
Dear readers, it took 3 simple lines of code and it was done.

I just spent a month - A FUCKING MONTH - looking for my go-pro. Can’t find it. Replacement camera arrives in next few minutes and guess what I just found!

This move to Itallian Roast coffee in the US, implying that Italy grow it's own coffee is as funny as the english drinking Yorkshire tea, as they believe it was grown on the mountain slopes above Harrogate.

My boss passed me a ticket this afternoon to re-style and alter part of the website. It’s weighted at 3 days.
Little did he know that it was already done as part of a major project that he signed off. I’ll edit the database to make it live on Monday, a day ahead of schedule. Miracle worker.

To the Elongated Muskrat: you are an American Billionaire who doesn’t understand the common man. Please stay out of UK politics. They are quite different from US politics and are centred around the electorate, not your billionaire mates.
Politely; go away.

Since Christmas 2010 when deliveries and postal services were hampered by massive snowfall, I have without fail made personalised Christmas Crackers for everyone we sit down for a meal with on Christmas Day.
Originally this was to give a surprise gift to someone, but there are other reasons

Am I alone in believing that Reality TV is cringeworthy? Apologies in advance, but Reality TV for the US market seems to be the most over-hyped and predictable of any.

How to introduce a new person to D&D: Make it like another IP that they enjoy. My son loves Escape the Night and escape-room type puzzles. For our first adventure, we're locked in a big house having to solve puzzles to get free. I'll be including combat and magic too.

We have a group at home that was supposed to be about assisting an elderly relative with his garden, but has now devolved into bigoted hate-fueled messages about our prime minister and the labour government. I've muted it.

Just had the best Roast Lamb Sunday dinner. So good that the meat slid off the bone. Naturally, the dogs had some leftovers.

I'm not even American, but Twitter/X has just become a hate-filled place full of highly incorrect and blatantly misleading information. This is now my preferred platform.
