Perhaps a lesson in heeding your elders’ word then.

I’ve recently learnt how to pronounce Irish slender consonants after basically years of wondering how to do it.

You’ll be thrilled to learn, then, that there’s only one adjective in that insult.

There’s a fair number of people who insist that “geek” and “nerd” mean two different, specific things. I think this is the same phenomenon, that people seek nuance where there isn’t because it makes the language seem more interesting or something.

Your dish is called a jacket potato if I understand you right. What I like to do is boil rice then mix it with peanut butter and sriracha and just eat that like it is.

Fairly often I get this feeling like everyone around me’s making things difficult for me.

Ha, unearthed.

Many of us aren’t American. The assumption that we are remains an annoyance on this website.

If you boil rice, just check some veg on top so it steams, then add seasoning when it’s done. Bish bash bosh.

I’ve read some utter wank in my day, but the one that first springs to mind is Fault in their Stars by John Green.

Well it’s the first of October now but in September I was off sick with exhaustion, so I got a blood test done after a couple of years of putting it off, just to be sure of course. I rearranged my bedroom too for a change. I spoke to my supervisor at work saying I need more rest, so making sure I get breaks every day and not too many workdays in a row.

My tip for anyone who’s suddenly struck with enough motivation to pull yourself out the hole: I find using a tasks app helps an awful lot with not only remembering to everything and when to do it but with feeling a bit of satisfaction when I mark it as done. Which reminds me, I need to tick off that I’ve taken my soup out the freezer this morning.

There’s a channel on Youtube called My Analogue Journey, I usually chuck that on.

Skoda

They’re Czech. The name even has a little thing on the S, officially.

A friend of mine once said he’d join the army only because he didn’t have anything to live for, but I ended up helping him get a job on the railway and now he’s a train driver, and a good one at that.

The paragraphing has gone all the way through readable back to “I’m not reading this”.

Oh, silly me, haha.

I think the pyramids at Giza were a few millennia old at that point eh?

Oh. Where I live you just send a photo taken on your phone by email. It’s only so they can say they’ve asked for proof you’re allowed to work here after all.

My downloads directory’s empty, because I organise everything to a laughable degree. People actually get inspired by how organised my PC and phone and so on are.
