Did the Ideal Home Show this morning to scout out stuff before the move... and in among the piles of AI slop, it's telling that there's insane levels of interest in solar among parts of the UK that have the spare $ for it.
Wonder why...

Looking around at stuff around MK and that Pixel Arcade is screaming out at me. Three hours of free play arcade cabinets for £16? Count me in!
Just checked in the UK - got the same thing here on web...
If you're planning to watch #AEWDynasty on Triller TV for whatever reason........... OH DON'T YOU WORRY. YOU CAN WATCH IT ON TAPE DELAY!!!! LMAO!!! ON TAPE DELAY!!!!
If any other International fan got this too let me know.
To be fair, I've had (Americans) from work think I'm Irish because of the north-east accent.
I'll bite my tongue somewhat on Rev, having gone from someone who was writing about every show they did not even a year ago to now not even being bothered about doing the big Wembley show.
For them, running so often has killed my interest
It's aggravating because in the case of attack, I remember the old days where they didn't have commentary and any jokes got across naturally. Rather than feeling like I'm getting bludgeoned with punchlines
I get being carried away, but a lot of this just reeks of my pet peeve - if everything is awesome, nothing is, and it's hard to get hyped up when everything's apparently a 10/10.
In an era where there is so much wrestling out there, from two major companies in the US, just being there is no longer a USP - and treating folks that are on the come up as if they were world beaters today does nobody any favours.
I get commentators are there to hype up what they see, but there's hyping up and being obnoxious about it to the point where it's a turn-off.
I perhaps should be putting this into another format, but a lot of what I see in the current British scene leaves me wondering what I'm missing.
Whether it's fans who haven't been around for nor care about the past, or people whose job it is to hype up the current product, I just don't get it.
I'm sure the match was good (but it's now behind their Patreon so I'll eventually see it.) Problem is the co-commentator did a match earlier in the night and was unbearable. Screaming for simple stuff in the middle of the match like it was a false finish at Mania
Dani Luna vs. Thomas Shire for ATTACK.
It's a shame that the production of a wrestling show is enough to turn me away from a match I was really looking forward to... but I guess it's what the kids like these days. Being shouted at with fake excitement.
It's weird, but Carat week aside, I've seen zero live wrestling this year and I'm not exactly missing it.
In a year so far where I've had a real need for distractions, that's saying something...
wXw Shotgun (April 02, 2026) recap - #wXwShotgun - Fresh on the heels of a Saturday night in Frankfurt, Shotgun returns to bring us up to speed on the latest from wXw.
It's always jarring seeing "where I grew up" on a YouTube vlog. This time, the new Gary Eats video (eh, Peterlee is close enough...)
wXw We Love Wrestling #75 - 16 Carat Gold Revenge (March 28, 2026) recap - #WeLoveWrestling - Elijah Blum faced off against the longest reigning former Unified World Wrestling champion, as he defended against Bobby Gunns in Frankfurt.
Night 3 of 16 Carat Gold is still free on YouTube for about 22 hours. The first match of the show is already a good demonstration of how over Ahura is (the last match even more so)
We need to talk about Ahura... but first, if you don't know who he is, then this piece I wrote will get you up to speed!
Stopping to charge the car on the way back from MK and some dick has cut off almost all the charger cables...
We're like ten years too late for GOOD...
Mostly good - we had an offer on our place so all being well we're moving to Milton Keynes later this year
Might be time to give this another crack, given how Twitter seems to be suspending anyone who gets the Podcast Awards DM...
I'm guessing the free sheet's don't put out distribution numbers because most of them end up on the floors of buses and trains?
Thanks Dave - hopefully my doomsday scenario doesn't play out but we've been on this path before!
The fuck? I'm not paying the mortgage on that!
He's even got the gallus nickname
Feud with Kenoh incoming
