Nah no insurance. I dunno how much insurance costs but generally if I don’t legally have to have it I don’t bother with it. If insurance is a profitable business my logic is that it must cost more than it pays out

Can’t argue it. We got it cause we’ve got a miniature dachshund which are prone to back issues which cost a fortune to operate on.
Hope your dog recovered alright and isn’t too shaken up mentally!

Bit of family politics has wound me up no end. Grand scheme of things its nothing but since my dad passing emotions still high. Couple of comments from my Mum while at my local this evening have left me seething. The logical part of me knows it’s cause of a lack of communication my end, but it’s wound me up nonetheless. Taking every ounce of me not to go to the pub and sink a few as I have work tomorrow and would be left with crippling panic attacks if I do. Not ideal. Apologies needed somewhere to vent.

Ha! It went in the bin. Just glad I couldn’t open it on the night I’m annoying enough pissed nobody needs me to be on that shit too.
Currently on my knees scrubbing the kitchen floor and the wife’s going mental cleaning and tidying upstairs. This is after a 10hr shift, get home, cook dinner, walk dog, wash up, just ready to settle down. Then the cleaning mission starts because “the plumber’s coming round in the morning and we haven’t done any housework .”
The plumber, who’s used to seeing houses covered in literal shit.
Not a particularly serious Not Stoked post but it’s frustrating. I just want a cuppa and to watch the golf highlights!

Darkroom has a going out of business sale 
That sucks.
Supposed to be camping in the peak District this weekend. It’s going to be a little rainy.
Damn that sucks. RIP
Currently staying at our summer house on island of saaremaa in middle of nowhere. Sounds plush but it’s pretty basic Soviet era build we’re in the middle of renovating
We have 5 guests staying (Inc one 3yr old) plus a dog
Sewage is completely fucked for some reason, smell of raw sewage everywhere. Got to buy a pump and run some hose from the septic tank to the forest which I have to do today
And the dog has acid reflux and was sick on the floor 3 times last night
Brilliant

Septic sludge please!
Red Hot Chili Peppers - the worst band in the world apart from Foo Fighters - are playing my neighbourhood stadium tonight, and the support band - The Roots - are soundchecking now. Didn’t think I’d have the urge to stand amongst a bunch of disinterested Red Hot Chili Peppers fans to see The Roots, but I kind of wish I’d blagged it now. Of all the support bands that will be completely lost on an audience. What a waste.

I have to confess I was really into them back in the day. Went to see them at the Electric Ballroom in 1988 and I loved it.
I found this excruciating NME review of the gig where the writer explains why they are better than Public Enemy. Definitely on the wrong side of history on that one.

I used to hate Red Hot Chilli Peppers when I was younger, that under the bridge song was so cringe. I honestly couldn’t say they were worse than pearl jam or nickelback though.
And for some reason I can’t explain I really liked that Californication song and since then have been neutral on them.
Would rather see the roots though.
