Just a guy, on the spectrum with a tendency towards creating uncomfortable silences and the odd social faux pas.

Originally from as far from the sea as you can get in England, now living near the coast in a part of Wales.

I will randomly comment on your toots, I will be attempting jokes, sarcasm, dark humour & obscure pop culture references.

Do I need to explain this to anyone?

and I'm not talking about the typo

Friend: What are you doing this weekend?

Me: Nothing

Friend: Great, can you come and...

Me: You misunderstand... I'm doing NOTHING all weekend.

Friend: Yeah, that means you'll be free.

Me: No it doesn't

Friend: But you're doing nothing

Me: Exactly, a whole 48hrs of doing fuck all except what I want.

Friend: Why?

Me: Look my free time is not an invitation to intrude upon and assume that means I will drop everything to do what you want

Friend: But you're doing nothing

Me: Exactly

My Brain: You should be working harder

Me: Yeah, I should

My Brain: You should also take better care of yourself and relax more

Me: Yeah, I really need to relax more

Me: But how can I be so bad at both of those at the same time?

My Brain: It's actually kind of impressive.

Me: Thanks brain.

I have what some now consider 'old person traits'

here's a few of them

1: I think a website should work in a web browser and not demand I install an app
2: I think single player video games should not demand you have an always on internet connection
3: I think that when I purchase a product, I actually own it and that it is complete and fully functional
4: I think that i should be able to talk to a person about a problem without waiting for 60 mins on a phone after spending 30 mins with a bot

If you vote for the leopard eating your face party, please don't complain when leopards eat your face.

Recently, I had to shut down a few whiny arseholes who I know voted for brexit after they were complaining about shortages and prices caused by their votes.

I have zero tolerance for people who vote for leopards whilst not wanting their face eaten.

So it appears that #AnyDesk has decided to go down the route of every other remote desktop access software.

Restricting their free personal use access to try and force people to give them money.

This would be the 3rd time I've had to start looking for new software.

I use it to access the 3 systems in my own home only.

They keep cutting my sessions off... Last POS company that did that used to do it after 60 seconds. At least they're letting sessions last longer... for now.

Time to switch

If you run a business and require your staff to wear anything that makes a statement about what your employees think about their job... such as 'I love my job' t-shirts and so forth.

Those employees should be able to demand that management wear clothing that states how their staff feel about them without any recrimination.

On my last day of working for the 'Firkin' chain of pubs (who loved using 'firkin' in slogans)

I wore a t-shirt saying 'I'm a firkin c*nt'

Never finished my shift. 🤣

Some vid clips from the gig last night.

Hopefully no copyright issues with a few seconds of bad audio. 😆

Can only add 1 clip per post, so keep scrolling for a few more that I'll be adding as they're uploaded.

Has anyone used this brand of coffee beans before?

My usual Lavazza Intenso (9/10) has rocketed in price recently. I used to pay £55 for 4x1kg bags that would last me 8 months. But the price is now £69

These were £12.99 each. One is 8/10 and the other 9/10 strength... I usually make lattes with them.

Thought I'd try them as it could save me a little money, but if I have to turn up the amount of beans I use per cup... then not going to be a cost saving.

were fricken awesome.

A 2hr show with a few surprises, almost like a greatest hits tour as they hit at least 2 songs from every album including some wonderful rearrangements. Like Martin Gore doing Strangelove accompanied only by a piano.

I also got to see them perform 'Black Celebration' & 'Stripped' from the album live.

So many great songs, they hit the faves like Just can't get enough & Everything Counts, 5 song encore ending with 'Never Let Me Down Again.

If I phone your customer support and it says 'we're experiencing an unusually high volume of calls'

I know that company is lying and shouldn't be trusted.

For it to be unusual, it won't happen EVERYTIME you call.

So either you're too cheap to hire enough staff, or your products are too cheap to last and require constant support.

Either way... you lose a customer for ever because you put profits over people.

If ever there was a valid point to tell you that credit scores are worthless and are nothing more than an indication of how much interest lenders can get out of you... it when you are told that your credit score has dropped because you are using over 50% of your credit on one of your accounts... whilst at the same time telling that it's very positive that you are using less than 10% of your credit.

Whilst also punishing you for daring to move and register on the electoral roll somewhere else.

Whilst out the most Northerly tip of Angelsey today, just outside Cemas. The weather was so clear, you could see all the way across to the Isle of Man and the hills/mountains near Douglas and Castletown.

Met some locals from Cemas who said that they can't remember the last time they could see across that far.

Not a great shot with a pixel 6 pro camera... It's days like this I wish I had my Pentax X5 bridge camera on me. I really should keep it in the car again.

The view on the way home about 4pm today after a lovely long 4hr lunch.

I should have stopped on the way there at noon, because the sun was shining directly on them without any of the shadows, and It felt like there was more snow than there is now.

No snow on the ground here, but there is snow on the mountains 30 miles away.

Just a reminder that if the punishment for a crime is nothing more than a monetary 'fine'

Then that law only exists to punish the poor.

I love the English language, mostly I love it's contradictions and quirks that make it amusing.

But whoever came up with the word for a fear of palindromes is truly evil.

It's called aibohphobia.

It's a fucking palindrome.

You bastard... you utter bastard... you're also a genius... an evil genius.

Hello to the new followers recently.

If you're wondering what I do on here... it's mostly shitposting things I find funny.

Amusing musings, strange shower thoughts I don't have in the shower, attempts at humour that are weird and obscure and lots of obscure pop culture, movie, tv and music references that I spend ages crafting for 2 people to like. 😆

There's mocking those that let food go cold for a pic.

occasional posts about the & systems I have

anomnomnomaly, to random

Vegan: You should stop eating meat to help the environment

Me: You should stop eating avocado to help the environment

Vegan: Don't be stupid

Me: Avocado is one of the most water intensive crops to grow. It's grown almost exclusively in water scarce areas of the planet. It does more harm than good.

Me: Plus it tastes like rancid soap

Vegan putting fingers in ears: LALALALALALALALA I can't hear you, murderer.

And that's just one reason the world hates sanctimonious preachy arseholes.

If at first you don't succeed...

Try

Try

Try

not to spiral into the self loathing you've been conditioned to feel by a system that promotes unobtainable goals and then extracts profits from your misery and insecurities.

As the site was down for me all of yesterday... I couldn't post a for you.

So today is a as it's yesterdays dinner of minty lamb chop, roast potatoes, honey roast carrots, parsnips and some marrowfat peas.

Whilst today is beer battered cod, chunky chips and onion rings with a dollop of mayo/ketchup. I was going to add some mushy peas, but this is already a large enough meal for me.

If I make any kind of new years resolution at all.

It's to reduce my use of chains that drain money from local economies as much as possible.

I can't do much about my food shopping as there simply aren't good enough local markets around here.

But I can and do already shun chains like coffee places and fast food. Support local business, don't set foot in a costa, starbucks or McD's. You're only helping them remove money from your local economy and helping to destroy high streets.

A new year, a new month and that means time again.

Nothing good. Weather was awful so as you can see in pic one, we generated just 70kwh of electric the entire month.

But that's still just over 2kwh per day. Which is still about 18% of our use.

As for import, we imported 320kwh of electric for the month.

Total use for the month on the whole house was just 382kwh and we even exported a few kwh.

You'll be seeing lots of posts from people saying/boasting what they achieved in 2023.

In case anyone needs to hear it... it's ok if all you did this year was get through it... You made it, good job.
