Holy fucking shit, Ted Lasso. There was no need for that. The shares thing I saw coming an actual mile off. But the other thing? Come on, now.

Phone Barclaycard. No reset PIN option. Hangs up on me. Call back. Now I get a "Hear My PIN" option that I didn't get before.

"I'm about to read you your PIN. Please hold."

"I could not retrieve your PIN. Goodbye."

Six attempts...I finally speak to a person and they're posting me a PIN. KTHXBAI.

Got a new phone. Logging into the Barclaycard app, it wants my card PIN that I have never, ever, ever used. Can only view it online using a username and account number that I have never, ever, ever set up or been given.

Now two hours in to trying to get them to reset it.

Just woke up to my import tax bill.

My neighbours heard me exclaim ‘SWEET BABY JESUS AND THE ORPHANS…HOW MUCH?!?!’ quite loudly at 7:30am.

I might actually be turning into Brian Potter.

Please watch this essential AEW match. PAC was one of the most beautiful, fluid wrestlers I've ever seen.

👹 Monster was released on this day in 1994.

“What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?,” “Bang and Blame,” “Strange Currencies,” “Crush With Eyeliner,” “Tongue” — and a run of music videos that makes this one especially fun to look back on. Share your favorite song in the comments…

Things my family are angry about today:-

1) There's no football on
2) Roy Keane being in a Sky mobile advert
3) There's nothing on at all
4) There are WSL and SWPL matches on, but they don't count (for some reason)
5) Roy Keane being in a different Sky mobile advert
6) There's no football on

New stock. New test console. Turns out the 3DO has EXCELLENT overvoltage protection. Don’t ask me how I know. *cough*

God, I love DHL. Booked a box from Japan on Wednesday on their economy service at 9am. Picked up in Tokyo at 2pm.

10am Friday - out for delivery in Exeter.

Not the box with all the Mega Drive stuff in it, but a 3DO and 100+ items of stock.

Cardiologist botched the paperwork yesterday and now my prescriptions are all over the show. GP receptionist says I don't need to speak to my GP though, so that's nice.

I'll just take a stab at guessing the dosage for these pills that could stop my heart within 2 minutes, I suppose.

I like being the Technical Director. It allows me to name software.

Just built a tool called Rinzler. Almost covered every character from the TRON universe now.

Got off the train at Cranbrook. Possibly the most hopeful station ever built.

There’s fuck-all here. Train every two hours (maybe.) Thirty cars in the car park in the middle of a weekday. Yet the station is twice as long as my local, which serves Ikea, the Met Office and the Exeter Chiefs.

Yay. Less pills. Not dying. Decent start to the day.

6am. Best get up. Cardiology check up this morning. Not at the biggest hospital in the county, which is two miles from my house. Or at the Nightingale hospital a mile away. Oh, no. We’re going to a tiny hospital 20 miles away, in a town I’ve never been to, that’s served by one train every two hours.

I don’t understand autographs.

I just don’t get it. You can rarely tell who signed the thing. And so what if they did? Oh, yay. A person wrote on this thing that I have.

Big fuckin’ whoop.

Finally got round to doing some sourcing.

251 items, including a 3DO for the test bench (don't have one), another Casio Loopy, a stack of Megadrive games (finally) and...other things. £1800 poorer, but that was fun. And now we wait.

Besieged with thousands of spam emails. Four different "police officers" calling claiming I've been a victim of cybercrime and asking if I have crypto assets. 2FAs from dozens of accounts I haven't requested.

Guess its time to get a new email and phone number and start changing passwords.

Sky Sports now interviewing managers as they walk back to the bench after half time...holding them up to the point the match has kicked off...then STILL continuing to ask them more stupid questions.

Not a big fan of that.
