Wasn’t at Portsmouth this time, but in 2023 I amused myself during the long day by filming the shortest, least informative documentary ever made.

In honour of the return of The Apprentice, here are 2 running jokes my twin and I say every episode:
1.) When Al says “You’re fired” just before the end credits, they fail to cut it in time and mistakenly reveal a couple of frames of next week’s firing looking horrified.

Back in the early noughties, there were times I’d like a couple of singles on the music channels sufficiently to buy the album, and then a track that didn’t jump out at me would get announced as the next single.

Had another shouting match with a passing abusive stranger, this time a chavvy cyclist in London by the Thames. Once again got to tell an ugly prick he has an ugly potato face. He bluffed about squirting me with something but it was just his vape. He fucked off when I got my phone out to film.

Given that visible light makes up only about 0.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum, it’s likely that what God actually said was “Let there be radiation”.

Waiting for self-checkouts in Tesco.
Elderly man at regular-height checkout has finished, but stands there checking his fucking receipt.
Man on other, low checkout asks if I have a Clubcard. I say yes and fumble in pocket for phone, unlock it, go to Apple Wallet and scroll to Clubcard.

Mind-blowing visit to Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles did the vast majority of their recording, and Pink Floyd recorded Dark Side of the Moon. Now I’ve been in there!
Just think, all that musical history was building towards me wandering around touching things.

A man was having a go at staff in KFC. He demanded to speak to the manager; the manager wasn't in, so he demanded head office's number; they said he could get that online; he said he isn't online, and demanded in writing that they refused to give him the number.
I said "Don't be a dickhead."

Did this about my town as a student, though mine was “It is considered a ‘pillow town’ due to its location on soft soil”.
Iirc it was up for a couple of years, until a local teacher disputed it.

In the early days of Wikipedia I created a fake entry about my village that included a fake Lord in the middle ages named after an 80s B Movie action hero. It is still up and being taught in the local Primary school as fact.
