Me and all the lads went to Costa at lunchtime. There was some nerd queuing up who kept scanning the tables for a seat. So we all spread out and had a table each. Didn't even buy anything. The gimp just carried on queuing for his Festive Frappe. When we left we saw him crying in his car. Ho ho ho.

Super Duper League chat.
I really really hope all the 'big' clubs fuck off and join it. Leave a relatively more level playing field for everyone else.
It was hilarious watching massive hypocrite RedNev get all sanctimonious about it.
But the funniest thing was that Spurs were one of the self determined 'big' clubs who would join. How I lolled and rofld etc etc

I hope the Super league re- invents modern football. Say for example Real Madrid are losing one nil with twenty minutes to go, if enough fans select Mega Bonus Uplift on their Football Twat apps (and pay a £25 fee) then Madrid can add an extra two attacking players.
If playing FPS games and their aggressive monetisation has taught me anything, there are still new depths for football to sink too.

I also like the idea of players transferring to the opposing team mid-game. Imagine, Real Madrid losing to PSG, then 'TRANSFER NEWS' comes up on the screens, and the Madrid resident runs on the pitch and hands Mbappe a Real shirt |

Also a seeding system, where clubs get a certain number of penalties per season, that can be redeemed at any time. The bigger the club, the more penalties they can claim

Another good idea: rather than fans supporting a team based on something arbitrary like where they live, family tradition, or their dad supports a shit team but their older cousin supports Tottenham, instead fans pay an annual subscription, and at the start of each season then are allocated a team to support for that year

Pretty sure I saw some flecks of chickpea in his beard as well. |

A couple of weeks ago I got a message from my sister saying:
‘Just in case you need to think of anything to get Dad for Christmas…. I know he really struggles with his deep fat fryer and I know the ninja one is excellent?’
I wasn’t going to get him a deep fat fryer because I got him an air fryer a couple of years ago so he wouldn’t deep fry food. I think she’s just heard that I’d got him a dehydrator because she’s now sent me a message saying:
‘Hellooo I thought you might get dad an air fryer as he really needed one’ (with a monocle emoji)
I said she’d said he needed a deep fat fryer but I wasn’t going to get him one because I’d got him an air fryer a couple of years ago so he wouldn’t need to deep fry food. Now she’s said:
‘I meant air fryer - he struggles with the air fryer. I struggle with it too, and I know someone else who struggles with the same one. He really needs a Ninja one that opens like a drawer.‘
Seems like an unreasonable avenue of conversation. But I’m too ‘in it’ to see it straight.

I feel like she’s gunning for the air fryer I got him. And also giving me a hard time for not getting him a new one.
Also … I mean I’m not sure Christmas has to be that utilitarian. Does it? And my dad can definitely afford an air fryer himself.
Maybe I’m just ‘triggered’ and reading beef into an exchange that isn’t there.

@ lazybones. Get your sister to sign up to proboards. I think we need a more balanced view |

Tell her you got him a George Formby.
When she asks if you meant a George Foreman tell her "No, a George Formby. It's a life size George Formby doll that sits in the other chair and using AI comments on the news etc in George's inimitable voice"
And now the weather "Turned out nice again" says George.

I mean the way it’s couched it’s like my dad’s stranded with only an air fryer he can no longer make any sense of.
If he needed a new air fyer why didn’t he get one instead of a new dehydrator?

The G are running their Super League story with a photo of a Chelsea fan holding a sign saying 'RIP Football'. Delicious.

I've lost the digital signal on the bedroom tv. The connection is behind the Xmas tree in the living room.
Bollox.

Evening
Younglings and PM have all broken up for xmas. I have one day left of work. This is ok as I can hide away 'working' whilst they're doing chores and delivery cards/gifts.
After work today I braved the zombie hordes* and went shopping. I returned triumphantly with all our Xmas dinner items. No more shopping for me until after Xmas. Hurrah!
* it was eerily quiet, perhaps too quiet.
