People eh

Might give this one a miss, there’ll be another along in a minute.

Most Triumphant!

This would be truly magnificent if they were on a Lime bike.

That’s good luck! For the car. Somehow.

Duck tales (with corrected typo)

“Your order has been dispatched!”

He looks more like Nobhead Tommo off Brassic.

Sorry to hear that, that sounds shit.

Sound advice.

Went up the street earlier and did a literal double take as he rounded the corner right in front of me. Dunno why I was so startled, I see him quite often.

Yes, reviews were super positive! I’ve just got rather fallen arches, which is odd considering how little time I spend on my feet.

I am quite beside myself.

This is the stage of life I’ve arrived at: I have ordered a pair of Scholl orthotic insoles and – crucially – I am *quite excited* about it.

Anyway, the ducklings hadn’t gone through the gap, they’d just gone ahead a bit, and Mrs. Duck went and rounded them up, while the bloke ducks continued to ponce about. So that’s a good story.

So I sat on the towpath staring across at these almost invisible ducklings, while walkers, runners and cyclists passed by like, what’s up with this guy?

Mrs. Duck was herding them while the bloke ducks ponced about. They were passing a small gap where they could enter a deceptively calm patch of water that leads to the weir, and I thought two or three of them had gone that way.

Got very tense looking at some ducks earlier. A mallard throuple (MMF) with a posse of TINY ducklings. They were so small that I didn’t see them at first, on the other side of the not-particularly-wide River Lea Navigation. Then I spotted three fluffy dots scooting about, then four more.

Mine are different vintages, unconnected to the dream’s setting. Could be a current iPhone, could be a Samsung slider.

No do not tell me

Oh God what now no don’t tell me

They’re called We Are Musicians. They perform angular, '80s-influenced science.

(A very 2010 joke reply for you there)

I checked this too.

*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

That’s a terrible shame. He always went to great lengths to explain complex legal situations in normal person language, and was very much on the side of whichever party wasn’t a big piece of shit.

Nope. One of the most frequent recurring dream scenarios I have is: I can’t get my phone to take a photo. Either I can’t get it into camera mode, can’t press the shutter button, can’t point it the right way or can’t get it out of my pocket in the first place.

this advent calendar has the same 3 big ass pills every day

Maintain the mystery.
