The printer at work boots up with the opening notes of Genius of Love.
I jig around singing ‘watcha gonna do when you get out of jail?’ while my copies print out.

I’m told it’s only 10,000 steps because the Japanese think the kanji for 10,000 looks like someone walking

Bonfire of the vanities is a book *about* race and racial politics, almost cover to cover. I doubt you could make any treatment whatever - up to and including casting against type - without being accused of racism from all sides.

Someone tried to hack my account.
I still have my user name, password, e-mail, back up e-mail, phone number and back up phone number.
But X support can’t verify my account.
They suggest I start a new one.
Sod that!

Bother! X account had been hacked.

Someone should write a play where the kids are reunited at a later date (maybe there is a court case). What do they say to each other ? Who is in denial? Who has false memories? Who has PTSD?

Remember when we were designers and people said it was ‘just’ Photoshop?

That’s a brutal episode I never saw before.

I organised prize competitions via a major trade publisher. Their shipping department stole the prizes (especially the really nice remote control cars) every time.
Yes the PR companies knew what you did.

The Beatles American tour was the must brilliant marketing campaign in music industry history.
I had the book of the tour and I gave it - gave it! - to a memorabilia collector mate.

My company uses a VPN (very pain in the ass) meaning we have to jump through all sorts of hoops (2FA, captchas, e-mail/SMS, in-app verification etc) to access suppliers & sites we need multiple times a day.
Gods forbid anyone would e.g. fraudulently order stationery on our behalf. 😆

Every good Profi Events photographer I’ve ever worked with was a right pïsshead.
I reckon it helps them to vibe with the mood of the event. For weddings especially I think you can’t be to sentimental.

There was a guy who used to lip synch to this album outside German railway stations. Looked a lot like the album cover. Gathered big crowds, sold a *ton* of bootleg CDs.
I wonder how many German people still talk about this amazing (male) busker they once saw.

Excellent!

Forebear: ‘aye, yon’s frum eh condemmed maahn.’
Descendent: ‘they said it came from a condemned man.’

A couple of mates worked together to clean out the fruit machine in the pub next to where they worked (there was a knack that needed 4 hands) ~once a week when it would be full.
The landlord responded by refusing to take their stacks of 10p pieces. So they spent the winnings elsewhere.
Idiot!

Can anyone explain the point of this?

My new boyfriend offered to help rebuild mum’s conservatory. Brother said ‘I’d rather hire a professional.’
New boyfriend was a professional conservatory restorer.
We’re married now, mum died, the conservatory never got rebuilt. Haven’t spoken to my brother in years.

He shot her because they were mouthy lesbians and he felt his feeble masculinity was threatened.
‘Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.’

These poor people think they are dealing with men with consciences or morals.
THIS IS YOUR GESTAPO DEAR.
They are enjoying it, it’s their dream job. They would kerb stomp you before breakfast and carouse about it over dinner.
Might as well try to shame a pack of jackals.

Immediate delete.

After the miracle teeth.

Gods don’t we wish!

I honestly believe if I listened to Insomnia 100 times back to back, my hairs would still stand on end right before That Drop.

My first class experience.
They had French or Australian red. I sampled both. After I’d had a few the stew said ‘we’ve run out.’
My seat neighbour got up and fetched a whole bottle of Syrah from the galley and said ‘they never run out.’
Didn’t speak to me for the rest of the flight. What a gent!

Well hopefully someone else paid

They have so little chance to experience music live, with their whole bodies. It’s a massive luxury even when available.
During lockdown I missed live music so much I sat in the dark with the windows open, watching YouTube videos and pretending I was at the back of the crowd at Glasto.

‘Backed by an all-female, non-binary band.’ Howzat then? #TOTP

My most recent hotel in Spain.

David Tennant in Harry Potter?
