Not Stoked.

Yeah, guy at work is proper proud reform voter and will always call out everything being ‘woke’. Cannot talk to him about anything other than work stuff and I have to block out anything he says.

The liberal left aren’t perfect either by the way. Many people can take things too far but at least their heart is in the right place. No harm is done by being open minded and (Bill from Bill & Ted) excellent to each other

I’m so glad I don’t work in a place with people like that any more.

I once worked for someone who said - “Wycombe is full of (insert black racial slur) and (insert Pakistani slur here) and they should just blow it up.”

What the fuck do you say to someone that’s says that like it’s normal?

Ironically his business is in Wycombe

In my case it would be “alright dad. Hows things?”

My girlfriend (non-native english speaker) just used the word “moribund” in a sentence. She refuses to watch Partridge, but knows the word from hearing me and my mates talking about it.

Like a real Michael Fabricant, I tried to mansplain to her why she was using it wrong. On international women’s day. She googled it, I was wrong. My god I’m awful sometimes.

That is weird, yesterday it popped into my head and I was using it at every opportunity and confusing the kids and then when the GF turned up that was the first word I said. She’s a big partridge fan but didn’t get the link straight away.

I’m 47 minutes away from being fifty years old.

Fuck off.

When the fuck did that happen? Why did no one tell me it was happening…

Had to go get a some vaccines today as a post transplant thing. That should have been done sooner but they forgot!? The nurse says “What do you want first, the one that hurts or the ones that really hurt?’
Oof and I’m more than used to needles. Could only give me three of them today, got to go back for another three or four. Hoping there are no side effects.

I think we’ve run out of heating oil… or it’s low enough to stop feeding.

Recently paid for a delivery but don’t know when it’s coming so I’m currently trying to get through to the oil peeps.

Update: Monday.

Looking forward to cold showers & negative feedback from the family.

I knew you lived in East Anglia like me but this hits home hard. Some places allow you to buy heating oil with your own container if you can be bothered?

You don’t happen to have an emersion heater in the hot water tank?
