Poor writer of unread books and enthusiastic gamer
My new favourite football fixture.

Has anyone ever tried using WhatsApp group calling as a way to tackle gaming at noisy RPG cons?

Is it an unsatisfactory experience, or just a faff to get everyone set up?

How did I get to this age without knowing about bacon block? This changes everything!

Multiple commentary changes during the ~1 hour innings of the Hundred.

TMS can do longer than that on the merits of battenburg.

We're doing a staff review.

The spreadsheet is sorted alphabetically by first name.

I'm silently fuming.

I got TWO slices of cheese in my burger from the work canteen!

Who else is winning at life today?

I don't know what's happening. Water is falling from the sky!

Watching Peppa Pig with my great niece. I'm waiting for the episode when Daddy Pig has had enough of their nonsense and snaps.

I hear it's brutal.

Just to give you an update, I've now decided that this game does, in fact, matter.

I can't watch England sober these days. Not the football team, not the cricket team and increasingly not the country.

Give me suggestions for good sword and sorcery, fantasy, horror, and sci-fi move soundtracks!

I'm well aware of Conan, 13th Warrior, The Mummy. Those are on my forever rotation.

What are some others that you really like?

This is the official thing that the next Dahn Sarf will sponsor. Places for kids to play D&D all Summer. The dream. I remember 14 and playing days on end in my mate's caravan in his back garden. If you hunt old WD's you might even find the address. Anyways, local and close to my heart.

Last night, in the spirit of the Commonwealth, I lent my support to Australia and Scotland.

I have been asked not to do so again.

Who should I support next?

Amazon: We thought you'd like new polo equipment.

All because I bought a polo shirt.

I neither want nor need a polo mallet.

They're just trolling me at this point.

This is "annoying bloke down the pub" level banter.

I’m losing my day job at the end of this month. As of now, haven’t secured a new full-time gig, so my freelance schedule is wide open. If you’re looking for an editor or proofreader, hit me up.

Every time I buy a Laundry Files novel, Amazon spends the next month trying to sell me detergent.

All the data in the world and not a single clue.

I have badly overslept and apparently awoken in late Autumn.

Random stuff in my head today:

"The first time I saw cauliflower was at the university of East Anglia in 1974"

...means something very different if it's being read by John Peel or Alan Bennett.

No, I don't know why I'm this way either.

I was making a list of jobs to do with my battletech minis and just wrote.

"Add skirts to bulldogs"

And now I'm chuckling as only a middle aged man can, delighted in my own absurdity.
