TV man confirmed the panel is to blame or our intermittent TV problem and John Lewis will be in touch to offer a replacement or a refund. Gotta love that JL 5 year warranty. Second time we've used the TV repair service. I dunno why anyone would buy a TV from anywhere else.

So, I feel like I know how a lot of my friends who were looking at redundancy felt when Rishi announced furlough back in the pandemic. I hate this Tory government, but Kwasi’s mini budget just saved us about £2.5K. That will pay for Shuma Gorath’s first week of existence and I am thankful for it.

Would love to go and watch an AFL game, shame I live on the other side of the world.

Yeah, I'd love to see either an AFL or Super Rugby match.

I can highly recommend it. You sit down, you drink a beer and eat a pie (mandatory), and after a couple of hours someone is pronounced the winner… You’re never sure how or why but jolly good for them.

Errr. That's like... 6.5k miles?
About the same as popping down to Nairobi.
Not sure if any Rugby is worth that sort of flight, tbh.

Just drive to Twickenham. It has better pubs if you head to the green.

It’s been a long process about two years in the making, but we’re finally moved in to our new home.
Celebrating by planning our divorce.

We actually managed to work together pretty well. Usually we’re screaming at each other in high stress situations.

Well that's an absolute win and long may it continue (seriously, figure out why it worked and do that again next time. You're a team innit)

I have an interview next week with someone who describes himself in his CV as "Suave and pragmatic,...".
I can't wait. I think I might swoon.

My electric blanket just arrived. So that's nice. I'm looking at getting the other half one - mind telling me which one you've plumped for? No idea what's good and what's not.

So it turns out there are two kinds - one you can put under the sheet on your bed, and one you can use like a normal blanket. I opted for the latter since I largely work from home and don't want the heating on all day, and I got one for £50 I think from Dreamland.
First impressions are that it's comfortable and it gets warm on the max setting but not hot. No idea what it costs to run but I assume it'll be cheaper than gas central heating...

I would have thought your burning loins would've been enough to keep you warm all day.

Don't talk nonsense, the cost of the viagra required to keep my loins aflame would dwarf the cost of gas for the central heating.

How about just gently smouldering loins?...
