masterchef notwithstanding i've quit terrestrial for netflix and LA REINA DEL SUR and then ANCIENT ALIENS
― mark s, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:04 (four years ago) link
I think Ancient Aliens gets played on one of the high number terrestrial channels but that stuff hurts my head
I found a good Chinese series of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on Youtube the other week but I'm too befuddled for subtitles today.

i mean yes it's brain-corroding garbage but have you seen "factual" TV recently
― mark s, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 20:08 (four years ago) link
erich von daniken did brexit
Yeah I enjoy terrible factual TV but lately Jamie Theakston has been too much for me

I can't do this to meself there must be a Nazi documentary on somewhere

Nazi documentary on ITV at the moment

i'm always the one who has to reach out to my children. they never initiate a meet-up
NV, I spent a few minutes earlier today realizing I haven't reached out to my own parents for a while. I think it's a parent/child dynamic and I've actually asked my parents if they'd want me to call/meet up more often. It's totally legit for you to say "hey, it'd really help if you called or visited a bit more often"
maybe set up a regular evening or whatever

I do take both of them out on the reg and I think you're right, it's what children do. That's what I was pondering.

Both of them. The two that live down the road. The eldest is in Essex, poor lad.

Couldn't decide on an appropriate thread to moan about it being Guy Martin season on Channel 4 again

I don’t know who that is. But this is always the appropriate thread!

Sitting outside vets with a naughty kitten, sky’s darkening rapidly and it’s not even 3.30, and I can see a GET BORIS GONE tactical voting billboard. That’s pretty blue, right?
― gyac, Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:28 (four years ago) link
it's been dark all day round here
i thought naughtiness was a design feature of kittens?
― The Man Who Was Thirsty (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:30 (four years ago) link
The kind of naughty where she ate a sharp piece of skewer and is frisking around like I’m not stressing over it! Feeling like a bad kitten owner rn.
― gyac, Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:35 (four years ago) link
the moral here is to eat all the souvlaki as quickly as possible
― imago, Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:45 (four years ago) link
good luck naughty kitten tho
yeah that's a bit much. frisking is good tho surely. you don't get these issues with a doner.

she is cuddled up to me and purring. looking forward to the next two days of examining every shit that comes out of her

Bless her. And gl with the latter...

Spent half of a very long catch-up sleep dreaming about waiting for a pub that refused to open. God my unconscious is basic.

too fucking much, it's like a pit at the base of a mountain, there's no way i can get up from here

❤️ when’s the last time you had a drop?
― gyac, Monday, 2 December 2019 17:36 (four years ago) link
last Tuesday/early hours of Wednesday
the craving is mostly a 30 minute blast that comes occasionally, i just have to ride them out, obviously the internal argument "hey why not have a drink? fuck it" is the tough bit too, it's like gawping into the void which is there whether i drink or don't drink tbf
right now it will just not help, that's my mantra, feeble as it is
and i really like booze/pubs. maybe buy a lottery ticket.
― éminence rose et jaune (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 December 2019 17:41 (four years ago) link
i mean really why be sober or together or anything in a nation owned and cheerleaded by cunts cunts cunts
― éminence rose et jaune (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 December 2019 17:42 (four years ago) link
I mean yes I struggle (not very successfully) with my various vices and this all the time, but that’s what those cunts would want most.

Hi Jim this is a note to remind you that you really don't enjoy these hangovers when you think you're about to die so maybe let's not have them any more OK?
― éminence rose et jaune (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 21:32 (four years ago) link
Did you end up getting pizza?

hbd NV! may your coming year be hangover free
― mh, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 21:36 (four years ago) link
No I'd already had some tea and when I'm this poorly it'd only be wasted. I've had a couple of sips of rum to try and steady the panic but it's not working, best thing would be sleep really but I'm stubbornly hanging on for Rick and Morty
― éminence rose et jaune (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 21:36 (four years ago) link
And thanks mh! I hope so too

I’m around 85% sure I vomited blood in the early hours of this morning. Resolved to get on the sober train again (not tonight tho) and go get some free at the point of use care

Already contacted the mental health service on Tuesday - only took me 5 months to get on with it. I thought about starting on the booze last night and then again this morning but I've stayed off, don't think i'd've been able to stop if I hadn't. I've ate a stupid amount of sweet stuff today tho :D
Hope you get as much help as you want.
