Re-waterproofed my light jacket yesterday in preparation for our summer holiday. Wank.

Really glad you had that full stop and capital W in there.

My mate is Germany currently for Wacken and apparently the train system is overrun with metalheads going to the festival. Could be that?
Spent a fair bit sorting a work’s phone out for someone, get to point it gets updated and the MDM system auto-wipes it.
Bloody forgot to remove the previous user, didn’t I? Bloody thing is taking a months of Sundays to load up again resetting it and I was hoping to piss out of the office sooner rather than later.
FOR FOX SAKE.
Decided to get off my arse and go for a skate. Realised my bike tires were flat so went to quickly pump them up, eager to get out before the summer holiday kids get to the park.
I spent 45 minutes trying to inflate them only to have the air immediately all rush out as soon as I released the valve and eventually I just lost my mind. I bent the pump in anger and now I’m lying on the sofa contemplating my existence.

Did that same thing last year but all over a black leather sofa. “Stop nagging about putting sheets down, the paint will wash off after”. It doesn’t.

Tweaked my ankle so badly walking on a fucking pothole.
Not being funny, but you’re rolling too fast. Roll it slower and you don’t get the spatter!

Rolled mine too, at a waterpark. Luckily at the end of the day.
Can’t help thinking it was a cosmic message saying ‘you’re too old and too fat to have that much fun’…
Are you priming your roller as well?
Virgin media are shite, WiFi has been down for 3 days now, something local not just us. They keep sending texts saying it will be fixed by 10/4/tomorrow am etc but nope.
Anyone suggest a better one?
I boyed Virgin média off for similar reasons and because they made it nearly impossible to quit (I had to write a physical letter to their Welsh customer relations office).
I switch to Shell (i know) but they’ve been much better.
Honestly think it depends where you are. I’m with Virgin and it’s great, but people across town use Virgin and hate it.

Made it out for a skate, finally. Was feeling good. Cycled over to Hackney Bumps, a lovely ride down the canal to get there. Sat down for 5 mins, spent another 5 stretching. Took two runs to get the feel, loosened my trucks a bit, took a third run and slammed so hard I felt a bit sick.
Riding down the largest bump I hit a tiny stone right at the bottom, heard a ‘skrrrt’ sound and got pitched straight down onto my arm and ribs. Kind of lucky I didn’t break my arm tbh. A woman came running over to check on me, so it must have looked bad.
I’m now sat at home icing my arm which I can no longer straighten.
Think this is the universe calling time on me skateboarding. I’m 36 next month, is having a slam this bad worth being able to still do a kickflip? Embarrassing

It happens. I did something similar at 46 and landed with my arm folded under me. Ribs still hurt from it two years later 
It’s just the universe reminding you to check for stones.

There was a broom just next to where I was sat as well.
Can’t believe I’ve slammed this hard, it fucking hurts. Not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight
Took some really shitty slams in my mid-30’s, ribs, fractured collar bone, hurt back etc. Had some time off after my son was born which turned into a few years. It was a ‘hang on you’re getting older now’ moment for me.
I recently slipped in the kitchen, eat shit and chipped/fractured my elbow on the floor tiles…danger lurks everywhere, not just at the skatepark haha

Slams remind you that youre alive. Kickflips are defo worth a bit of pain now and again 
Oh yeah, and 36 is fuck all 
Brother’s marriage is basically over. His wife has turned out to be a total shithouse and its thrown an enormous curveball for everyone involved including their two kids. Just incredibly sad and avoidable and stupid and shit. She’s binned off an 18 yr relationship for some absolute dickhead she met 2 months ago and has moved out of the family home into a shared house with a 50 yr old dogwalker.
Words.
Fail.
Me.
