So after the bullshit day I’ve had, this fucking Christmas thing comes back up again. My brother in law kinda got up my and the Mrs sat there are just said nothing despite multiple requests for her input.

Yeah… good thing we’ve got a couples therapy session coming up. To say I’m pissed off and hurt is an understatement.

This is why I hate xmas, everyone just seems to use it as a reason to hate you, for failing to meet terms that only exist in their mind.

Are people going through keyboards/mice like some sort of consumables?
I'm looking at reviews for a mouse, and something supposedly good about it is that it lasted some person four whole years. I've been using the mouse on my work PC for 15 years, it was the first Bluetooth mouse I purchased. I've been using this keyboard for 10 years, and the only reason I bought it was that I was no longer typing on my laptop keyboard. Side note: I would love to buy another one just like this one for home, but it doesn't exist any more.

10 years with no signs of slowing in the next decade sounds right to me. 15 years for the mouse and the only reason I'm considering replacing it is I'd like one that can switch between multiple devices and maybe do away with AA batteries. Do people really go through peripherals quickly?

If I’m standing there doing trade work let’s say, why do people think it’s ok to just stand there and watch me?

If you’re sitting there at your desk clacking away on your excel spreadsheet or whatever, and I saunter up behind you and just stare at you doing work, that would be considered kinda creepy.

I get this a lot when I make pasta in the shop or the girls are making gnocchi, but we are doing it expecting to be seen. It's performative and customers like to watch us do it because it signifies that what we're making is fresh or traditional. It's a bit different if you're not expecting to be watched by curious onlookers.

Wang Wang and Funi have returned home. I was fortunate to see one of them (I don't know which one) chomping away on bamboo for an hour. A very surreal experience. 🐼🐼

All I know is if Mr Seagoon ever started talking like in that book at various times verily I would laugh unto I cried.

I can't mention lebanese cucumbers without hearing "Why do you want them for when you got one right here.....". I fall for it every single time.

Neighbour's car won't start (sounds like a flat batter to me). It's a late 90s Commodore that's seen better day.

Old mate is swearing like a sailor in English and Croatian. Been going on for like a solid 30 minutes.

Ironically he fancies himself a handyman, and even my non-mechanical self can hear it's the battery.

flat batter

Trick is to keep the soda water cold and add some bicarb.

I'm listening the "The Nightland" by WH Hodgeson. Don't know if I can stand the bondage and very sexual double entendres much longer. 🫀 I thought this was hard core science fiction gothic fiction. πŸ«₯🀯😹

They are quite long slightly weird involved chapters that seem to be perfectly paced and timed to rub one out ...lol

" and she did rub me very skillful and gentle for a great hour until I was all refreshed and in verity she was a lovely wise maid. And surely when I was come again ..etc etc"

Watching tv and thought I was watching a feel good romance.

No. It’s turning slowly into dating a full on psychopath.

2nd time this has happened. Why can’t I have just a feel good happy movie!
