And also announcing our new long distance rambling podcast, “The Rest is a Well Earned Pause at the End of a Long Walk”
And when you’re a small business send it to the registered company address rather than the designated preferred correspondence address, meaning a walk across town to get it, photograph it in the banking app to pay it in, then destroy it.

Having done a big chunk of a house clearance via eBay this year, I can confirm the site is a hot mess of bugs and weird policies in lots of places when you go slightly off the golden path.
A copy of the Christmas 2025 edition of the Radio Times TV listings magazine, with special artwork from Aardman Animation’s Wallace & Gromit series featuring Gromit and Shaun the Sheep, with an unrelated non-removable Sainsbury’s tracking label stuck across the central text obscuring some of the artwork.
One of the best things about getting the festive Radio Times is the brilliant artwork. So excited when our copy arrived like this from @sainsburys.bsky.social this morning.
The acoustics on Lee Mack's voiceover bits on The 1% Club Rollover sound like they were done in the office upstairs between the shows.
Nope. I’m on Agile and every 6 months or so the system panics that the balance is too high despite them being well aware how volatile the pricing can be. Each reduction is followed a few months later by an increase.

The iMac G3 from 2001 is my favourite-looking computer of all time, but it's completely unusable these days because of its age.
So I tore out its insides (leaving the CRT screen intact of course) and replaced them with a brand new Mac Mini M4.
Also acquired a lot of those cheap ones you got “free” with Premier Points
I was always more a Memorex sort
Look at that one! So many functions!!
Two weekends in a row I’ve been up on roofs and I’m now certain I could never do that sort of work professionally.
That’s numberwang!

“Big change coming to the Tescos on your local high street this bank holiday weekend”
It still surprises me how (at least for my user profile) 70-80% of the ads on VOD are for gambling, mostly football, and again use language and terms that mean nothing to me.
Is there also an argument in favour of automation to improve accuracy/avoid missing claims?
It’s been 10 hours, are you OK or are trapped in a giant spiders web?
It’s always the “golden path”, isn’t it? You know how the system works so follow the optimal path to use it that always works, someone else will always find the odd edge case diversion that breaks everything.
