Thank you everyone. I am, of course, busy at work. I’m taking it fine, and I’m definitely not suffering from self-hatred at my lack of achievements and staring into a void of existential terror. Meeting tonight likely won’t finish until half eight. Bastards. Chatterboxus erectus? Is that a joke about the next thing likely to go wrong with my decrepit body? Won’t make that much difference tbh. not booking your birthday off work? Rookie mistake. You should know better after 40 years. |

There's a man at this service station in an Ed Sheeran t-shirt. A grown man. There's no obvious signs of mental degeneration other than said t-shirt.

not booking your birthday off work? Rookie mistake. You should know better after 40 years. Alas, I am important enough to be required at important meetings*, but not important enough to get the date changed. The meeting has been organised for almost a year for this date, and I didn’t really notice early enough to get it changed. *They're long meetings and the important people would get thirsty if I wasn’t there to make the coffee. Edit: anyway, I’m happy enough, even though I have to work. I’m rocking a sweet Ed Sheeran T-shirt I received for my birthday, and I just bought my favourite delicious lunch from a petrol station. |

Happy birthday shengers!
Anyone else cry themselves to sleep? Anyone?
I've got the day off to edit my air show photos. I have 4728 to review. So far, all I've done today is add keywords to the metadata. It's going to be a long time before anyone sees them...

I have been thinking about going through "wearing douche bag t-shirt ironically phase" and starting off with the classic "The Man, the Legend" with arrows shown pointing face wards and groin wards. Possible other choices include "I didn't fart, my arse blew you a kiss". The beer gut is coming nicely now which will add a nice touch. |

Delicious chocolate cake for lunch, a caterpillar cake bought for me by my colleagues. I didn’t provide any cakes or other treats, as I am an absolute turd of a human being.

Very popular with children. Are your colleagues giving a hint that you are regressing? (I'm just jealous. I love caterpillar cake. Particularly the smarties) |

A chrysalis or a Moth cake would have been more appropriate.
Were you a very hungry caterpillar?

Clearly, the fifth one who's not pictured in the top image must be Mike Pence. |

Interesting that we had a cluster of birthdays in the 'box over the last days. There was another gaggle of birthdays at the end of May. If I didn't know better I would start believing in astrology. ("You were born under the sign of Cancer. You are prone to inane ramblings in internet forums. In that respect you get on well with Gemini, who also like talking shit. You have a natural aversion to being FRANKed.") Pyjakson Sorry I didn't respond earlier about you running the half marathon in September. Better start practising now, eh? Oh, and please let us know if there's any sponsoring to do. I love sponsoring people running marathons if it means that I don't have to do it myself. |

Fifty is the new forty for men. Fifty is still sixty for women.

scubar you're right about mad Max, it is exactly like shadow of Mordor. Driving isn't awful, it just feels like it belongs on an older generation game, the cars just turn to where you point it like it's on an axis. Not sure that makes sense. I am enjoying it though, taking out camps and ripping things out with harpoons is great fun.

Football chat. Now the world cup is over and I'm *mostly* over England's heartbreaking exit, I think it's probably my favourite world cup followed by 2002.
What's everybody else's WC of choice?
