The first one

Yeah call me old fashioned but I feel a strongly worded tripadvisor review would have been sufficient.

I missed the shit talk so feel free to ignore this. Was listening to a Kiwi podcast a while ago there’s prank shitting method they cam up with for when visiting Australia. They called it the Koala and basically you shit with your stomach against the cistern (so facing the opposite direction) and hug the back of the bog like a koala in a eucalyptus tree. Only down side is it that it guarantees that no shit will go into the water forcing a solid cleanup operation, but I guess therein lies the prank.

Just ended up in a YouTube rabbit hole and watched the full Vans Are We There Yet tour video. Whatever happened to Ollie Tyreman? Know he got into boxing, modelling and acting but seemed to fully disappear. Was always mega sound when I saw him at different events.

He moved abroad for a while (Dubai or UAE maybe?) but I think is back in the UK now.
I spoke to someone in Black Sheep in Manchester recently who said that Ollie had been in the shop a few times and was pretty hench now.

Whenever I want to move something, an appointment, or a meeting etc, later, I always say “lets move it forwards”. Or if I want it sooner, I say “lets move it back”.

Everyone thinks I’m saying the opposite thing than I mean.

Time only moves forwards. In Back to the Future, when they went to the past, they didn’t say they were going “forward in time”. In back to the future 2 they didn’t travel backwards from 1985 to 2015.

But for some reason when I say “lets move this meeting forward by a week” they always think I want it sooner. Why would I want it sooner? I’ll kick the can down the road indefinitely if I can. The entire world is wrong about this.

It’s a linguistical paradox.

Change to postpone or reschedule at an earlier time to avoid brain melts.

“Ollie a tyre man!”

“next weekend” has been responsible for a fair bit of confusion as well. Like if it’s Thursday and I say “next weekend” instead of just “weekend” then some folk seem to think I mean the coming weekend, literally the next weekend. In fairness I might have meant exactly that if it was still only Monday or Tuesday but probably not if it’s Wednesday or later.

The intonation matters with that one, like if you say NEXT weekend I’d think you mean the weekend after the next one. If you said next WEEKend I’m thinking it’s the end of this week, the next one. If that makes sense, sort of.

I’ve just spent too long thinking about this. But I think when people say this, the time they’re talking about is the time between now and the meeting, not all time in general. So the meeting is moving forward towards us.

Got an air fryer. Anyone got any amazing food suggestions with minimal prep time (and anything good for kids)?

Go go go

Fried bred works well. So you must be able to do french toast or eggy bread in one.

Hah, we just got one yesterday too. Just about to make some sweet potato chips in there.

Was about to get one and realised it’s a super quick way to eat nothing but shite.
Don’t be needing any encouragement.
