Didn't end up going to see #bcafc v Plymouth.

Having watched the game on TV, I'm glad.

Thought Lapslie was brilliant (I love hard working players).

Almost guaranteed the playoffs, but I've been a City fan for a loooong time.

Two more chances to make an absolute arse of it.

Set off to work with full intention of going to The Mighty Bantams' match tonight.

Then I had to turn round because I'd left my glasses at home.

Which meant that I missed being able to use the bus lane.

Which meant I was later than normal to work.

Anyway, I'm at home and going to watch on TV.

BREAKING: A Closer Look at the King of Planets. 🪐🛰️

NASA has just released a new perspective of Jupiter so sharp it’s almost impossible to comprehend. Those intricate, marble-like swirls aren't just clouds—they are colossal storms, many of which could swallow Earth whole. 🌍🌪️

Realised this evening that tomorrow is exactly 13 weeks from my eldest son getting married.

Project #NoFatDadWeddingPhotos commences.

Also, a few moments ago, realised that youngest Murgs turns 30, a week on Saturday.

How are either events possible when, in my head, I'm only 24?

How though!?

The man who cleans my classroom each evening has a son in Year 6.

He will be taking his SATs in a couple of weeks.

His dad asked if I had any past papers for him to practice on.

I gave him a set and offered to mark them for him.

He got 91%.

Can't wait to see his dad tomorrow.

The Cost of Loving

I love you more than life itself
but I swear I’ll love you better
if you let me turn the heating off
and you wear another sweater.
 
I cannot get enough of you –
I’m completely in your thrall.
I love to watch you bending over
to unplug the telly at the wall.
 
Yes, you’re the only one for me,
my sweet and fragrant flower –
now you’ve ditched your daily bath 
for a cost-efficient shower.
 
Make no mistake, I love you loads,
you send my head into a spin.
Our cycle’s set to eco-wash:
let’s cram as much as we can in.
 
My cup of love’s full to the brim, 
it overflows, my petal.
So make yourself a brew with me,
but don’t overfill the kettle.

I hate Al and I refuse to use it

Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money

I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

I watched people in the US saying how good #ThePitt was, it had my curiosity.

When @sepinwall.bsky.social started saying it was some of the best TV ever, it had my attention.

Now, I've watched all of Series 1 and 7 out of 8 of Series 2, it has my love.

Amazing TV. 100% recommended.

Funniest possible end to the Premier League season:

- Tottenham relegated. Arsenal fans laugh.

- Arsenal miss top spot. Tottenham fans laugh.

- Man City lose FA Cup. Man Utd laugh.

- Man City get 100 point deduction for cheating, lose multiple League titles. EVERYONE laughs.

Spurs survive.

i am a neutral and i want arsenal to win the league because human rights abusing petrostates are worse than annoying fans, and i don't understand how this isn't a consensus opinion.

A blue sky with clouds. In the foreground is a green Primary Route exit sign for the A140. The destinations given are Ipswich Diss Norwich. It’s a image I took from
 google Maps as I wasn’t quick enough on the draw with my camera.

In East Anglia they even put their civic/ football beefs on road signs

Yes. Absolutely delicious.

Bit cold when it arrived, but nothing a quick blast in the microwave didn't fix.

A great and terrible thing has just occurred.

I have found out that the greatest burger restaurant I've ever frequented now does Uber Eats.

Great because I have just ordered a mahoosive burger and fries.

Terrible because I want to lose 50 pounds by mid July.
