Woke lefty, plant fueled, cyclist and runner. Almost certainly not as clever as he'd like to think. he/him
Love and solidarity to Robin. I reckon that now would be an excellent time to support him by buying his books for example.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Not feeling very festive given the day's events, but Santa has just gone past our house.

Rest in peace Ivy. You had very little time for my bullshit, and we loved you all the more for it.

Taking Ivy cat to the vet later this morning. Don't know for sure, but I don't think she'll be coming home.

You will be visited by three spirits:

Trying to get our poorly cat to eat medicine spiked sardines whilst also stopping the non-poorly cat from eating them. The struggle is real.

I last visited the States in August of 2016. Immigration control were awful then, I can't imagine how much worse they must be post Trump.
US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry
The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, which can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.

Put the meerkats down lads.
Humans cuddle up to meerkats in the monogamy rankings
When it comes to monogamy, humans more closely resemble meerkats and beavers than our primate cousins.

Ginger hair and freckles.
OK speaking of Quentin Tarantino, what body part would YOU be a pervert about if you directed a movie?

Poorly cat is flagging tonight but she doesn't half pick up for a gabapentin crushed up and mixed with a "creamy snack".

And halves of lager in a glass with a stem too I hope. 🙄

None more black.

Tree's up.

Slightly thick head, but no "OMG Simon, what did you do?" messages from colleagues, so I'm going to chalk up my work Christmas do as a success.
December 6, 2025 at 10:49 AM
Work Christmas do tonight. Luckily my colleagues already know I'm a berk so I shouldn't need to temper my drinking too much.

If any deities are reading this, I'd really appreciate there not being cat shit all over the place when I get home.🤞

Thanks everyone for such kindness. She's off her tits on gapapentin currently, laid on a little heated mat. Shes comfy. X

The man has also been charged with stealing an iPad from the same shop, but the article makes it unclear as to whether he also swallowed that.

The egg pendant, which is set with 60 white diamonds and 15 blue sapphires, has yet to be recovered.

Thank you for the kind words earlier folks, it means a lot. Ivy's home to live out what time she might have left being pampered like the queen she is, whilst giving me the old Kubrick stare.

Bad news from the vet. Sat at my desk trying not to cry.
