Blue Saturday

this rosie Malbec is great, it's got polo players on the cover so you know it's hardcore Argentine junta shit

i wish i was elsewhere and i wish getting there wasn't so hard. i think that's partly where the cheap elsewhere of drinking steps in.

But hey I'm getting my hair cut. Hopefully the anxiety tremors won't mess up the job.

a poor trait in a barber, anyone would own

Lol my barber's a lovely guy. My hair is also considerably lovelier now tho I'm still a bit Shakes the Clown for some reason

Bathe in the great feeling of a new haircut imo

Oh I am, promising myself not to leave it again

i'm assuming u got this haircut and i commend u for it

Tom Hiddleston thinking some thoughts there, as I think we all would in that situation.

(also good luck NV!)

NV you're a fucking legend, you're worth the hard work.

Well I'm unwinding with a drink so let's not go mad

On the whole, and this won't help, i'm a bit more focused this week. Its just that the answers are all sucky

maybe u need to... ask different questions

*steeples fingers, raises eyebrows*

NV you're a fucking legend, you're worth the hard work.

I love and need youse all, sorry I'm such a pathetic saddo

what’s happening?

i feel dumb and lazy

Nothing of note gyac, just feeling as lost and empty as ever and struggling not to drink cos it's one of the few things that doesn't make me feel lost and empty...while I'm drinking

But this community is a big and treasured part of my life and when I'm here all alone it makes me less alone

I legit made the case to someone today that I felt better about being unhappy at work & other people telling me the same because I knew I wasn’t the only one in that situation and so felt less alone, so I get you.

love u nv, stay strong buddy

you should work on the Gaznomicon

I am seriously going to have a go at that but right now I can't even be bothered to walk five yards to the kitchen and heat soup

I think I need to reread "Great Expectations" as prep

"In Supergrass we kept our political view for the pub table" is an obvious opening line

You could write a whole chapter on this

On 7 March 2008, Goffey accompanied politician Boris Johnson in a bid to try to save the post office near where he had grown up in Forest Hill, at Stanton St. John, Oxfordshire. Goffey commented; "I used to buy sweets and cigarettes there and I want my family to be able to continue that tradition."

paging social services

oh boy the Johnson connection in black and white this thing writes itself

you can buy cigarettes at the post office!!!!!

I warmed the soup. Villarreal-Betis turned into a delightful battering.

now i want some battered soup

something something Scotland something something

Anyone who finds using a bowl and spoon too much of a chore when eating their favourite soup will be delighted to learn that soup is now available as a finger food - but comes with an unhealthy twist.

Chip shop boss John Clarkson, 57, has created a pattie-type dish by deep frying farmhouse vegetable soup - and called it the 'soup-er burger.'

John, from Preston, Lancashire, was inspired to create the dish after a cheeky customer picked up on John's penchant for frying and commented: 'You'll be deep-frying soup next!'

But rather than laugh the comment off, John, who has previously deep-fried a giant Ferrero Rocher and a milkshake, picked up the gauntlet and set about working in his chip shop-cum-gastronomical laboratory to find a way of battering and deep-frying soup.

He eventually cracked the problem by cooking up his favourite vegetable soup before adding a touch of cornflour and egg and allowing the mixture to set in a circular mould.

Place around the corner from me does battered mars bars but never been brave enough to try

My first battered Mars Bar was from a chippy in Tamworth tbf

They're not all that tbh

God I could eat one now tho

We went to Glasgow 4 years ago for the weekend and we forgot to eat a deep fried mars bar. We were intending to. I did have haggis, which was pretty similar to faggots so I liked it (I am a midlander after all) and square sausage which was A+ would eat in every fried breakfast

square sausage rules

A friend of mine calls it Lorne porn.

the joy of parenthood is that every now and then you get to be phoned by your daughter and your ex both at once while they're in the middle of a screaming row with each other and then you get to feel like a feeb because you can't talk anybody down from the other end of a phone

thank fuck i'm not drinking today

also not gonna start a sublimated rage war with John McTernan on Twitter

xp I wouldn’t feel bad about that, you are sometimes best just to let them have at it. Speaking as someone from one of the world’s most argumentative families like.

wish i could drink myself to death like a slow liquidation, evaporation, gentle and sweet and pretty instead of the reality of terror and convulsions and bodily fluids and ah fuck, the mess, the mess

wish I could get dressed I v need vino

GOTTA BLAME IT ON THE GOOSE

Have you got the game NV? I was thinking of getting it this weekend

the horrible goose is the cultural highlight of 2019 imo

Yeah I got it when it came out. Tbh it's a very fits and starts thing for me - usually an hour on it is more than enough for a bit but it is funny and HONK and also pretty satisfying when you work out the more abstruse puzzles

Whisper it but the memes are more fun than the game tho but you've got to admire something that's moved me on from ducks 🦆

Actually the Lizzo/horrible goose crossover has been the highlight of my year
