Random attempts at #wit and #anecdotes. Intrigued by #tech #standupcomedy #film #london #doctorwho #office365 #petshopboys #synth #w12 #w6 #cymru #notwhite and overthinking #popculture. Quoted in The Guardian. Hubs/dad. #British+. He/him. Recovering from #LiveJournal. Somewhat addicted to #facebook and looking for a replacement.

I've found a new all-you-can-eat dim sum and Chinese place near Oxford Circus.

This is my disappointed face as I realise that nobody I know would fancy it, *AND* my so-called nutrition plan (try to avoid things that are bad for you) doesn't really allow for it.

The progression of time is inevitable and unrelenting.
I'm not saying it's a crisis but I've been in two shops today and neither of them had the Radio Times Christmas special available. :(

3 Dec: Royal Mail leaves a parcel for someone else in the communal hallway. I email Royal Mail.

Today:

Royal Mail: "So what details do you have about the parcel?"
Me: "Well, it's been taken from our communal hallway!"
Royal Mail: "I'm very glad that all issues have now been resolved."

How CoPilot can't recognise sarcasm

Me: I need to eat more healthily.

Also me: it was Poutine yesterday. Turkish today. Pub twice tomorrow. Pizza Saturday. Unlimited roast on Sunday.

I'm not very popular, normally.

A 1990s-themed bar in Covent Garden. Which is a bit like in 1995 going to a 1950s-themed bar.

Now if only they served Hooch or snakebites... (and I'm reasonably sure karaoke wasn't a thing in 1995)

Somehow still standing in the heart of Fitzrovia near the British Museum. Why has this not been replaced yet with some hideously expensive gleaming glass structure for rich shoppers?

Uno, dos, tres, quatro !

The things you find in a #london #charityshop #goodwil

The kids today call this #pebbling. Back then we'd call it " #clipping out bits of a magazine to save and maybe send onto friends" in the real world.

#timeout was awesome in the paper era.
