No new pictures where are you mentally.

"What she wants for Mother's Day"... is not perfumed body lotion or cheap jewelry that makes my skin itch.

What I *want* is Snakepit tickets for the Dublin @metallica.com show so my short arse can see. I'll also accept funny artwork, nice chocolates and someone else doing the laundry.

Current stage of the night: Adding gin to rum. What could go wrong?

The Southern River Band - F**k You, Pay Me (Official Video) YouTube video by The Southern River Band

The theme for this year's International Women's Day is "Give to Gain".

I get what they're trying to say but it comes across as yet more free labour is being asked for.

I'm in my "Fuck You, Pay Me" era, tbh. I even have a catchy theme song for it. youtu.be/k1fX3G3rqeM?...

"remember that you will die" - no thank you, I need the opposite of the Memento Mori dude,
Like a happy chilled little person just pointing out there's a cool bird or a nice leaf or this cup of coffee smells amazing and stuff

I have *finally* updated my business's website so it reflects what I do rather than what I thought I would do 4 years ago when I launched it.

Ironically, one of the things I do is write websites. 😆 But only for other people.

The cobbler's children are definitely going barefoot at my place.

The search box from the Australian Ticketek site. The prompt to type reads "what are you looking for?"

Of all the things I thought I'd be typing in this year when asked what are you looking for "Anthrax" was not on my list. But here we are.

(The band, people, it's the band. I have enough health issues already.)

It's right under bouncy castle management, vampire impersonation, and being Santa's chief reindeer elf.

Skull of your enemy to use as an ashtray?

My dude, I've been Pokemon-ing them for decades.

Screenshot from Goodreads: shows 26 books of 50 books read in 2025

I'm hopefully reading more books in 2026 - got any recommendations for me?

Welp, I failed the #GoodReads challenge in 2025. I usually read a book a week but 2025 was a 💩🪩shitdisco timewise. (Yes to sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction, humour and historical. No audiobooks.)

You should be writing their ads!

Serial killing, but make it Christmassy.

(No, I don't know how I am on this list.)

It's such a good movie though

Why the fuck is my child not on Toy Show talking about how much she loves Metallica, my pit tickets cost me a fucking fortune

Respect to the band kids commitment to the bit, good headbanging technique there too

A screenshot of an email which reads, Hello, I hope you are well. My name is (blocked out), and I work for Business. I am writing to enquire if you would be interested in writing a blog post or article for us on your website, featuring products or lifestyle ideas. Your insights on curated business would be a great fit for our audience. You will receive a fixed payment for your work, and the article should be on topic and relevant to your business. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards,

This may be the weirdest phishing/fraud attempt I have received yet.
It reads like it was written by 3 AIs in a trenchcoat.

"I work for Business" is going to be my new go-to phrase when people ask.

Buying gifts for other people's children this Christmas? If you choose something battery operated, here's what to do next:
🪫 1. Hate the parents? Don't include any necessary batteries.
🔋 2. Are the parents people you actually like? Put batteries in with the gift. Please. We beg you.

Irish people ever time the word "ride" comes up in advertising

Screenshot of an email from Uber, text only below the Uber logo. An easy ride for your quick trips Whether it's a rainy ride to the end of the road or a five-minute supermarket run, there's a trip for you. Call to action button reads: Request a ride

It's called a booty call and they (probably) have a name, Uber.

Show some respect.

A screenshot from scienceweek.ie/ Green text on a white background which reads: 114cm The distance the moon has receded from the Earth since 1995. The moon gets 3.8cm further from the Earth each year!

Even the moon is sick of our bullshit

I need to get work done so of course my brain has decided to write characters and plot for a LARP. Want to play "Arrest The Development"? A murder-mystery-farce where a housing association's must stop the Bluths from destroying their homes by sabotaging George Snr's funeral. #ArrestedDevelopment

If I was forced to guess I would say someone is having a go at "modern look" for some reason but because is probably all the answer we shall ever have.

I'm sure there's plenty more books in your to-read pile anyway, mines at the Jenga stage.

I'm not wild about it, but could read it. It kind of reads like a web page more than a long form book?

I have a trick to reduce my phone time! I kept finding myself zoning out scrolling for dopamine.

Setting the screen to black and white makes doomscrolling and games unappealing - but I can still see work/school messages etc and use accessibility apps. I've set this mode up for 10-4 daily now. #ADHD

If anyone wants to know how my "healthier and more focused" summer has been going -
I just washed down a shot of iron and B vitamins with coffee in a desperate attempt to power up and through 1 of the 8 urgent items on my to-do list.

No GenCon for the next 3 years for most, sadly...
