Morning all.
Gamesblog: nope
TVblog: Justified, and I've now finished the fifth series. Onto the sixth, and last!
Camerablog: let's just not, eh? Just remember, #WWTD?
Trumprona: one shouldn't wish ill on other people, but I think I'm his case we can let that rule slide...

I'm not convinced that it is Amipal making Scubar look like an arse.

Hi.
Games. No.
TV. No.
Trolling baby. No.
Work. Yes.
Sorted out new Broadband last night as our contract runs out in two weeks. BT taking the piss on what they want now.
Vodafone got the deal - mainly as Scubar said they were OK and I can castigate him when it goes tits up.
Dunno what I think about DT with the Rona. Great timing though.
Hoovering you say? S'pose.

"the deal"
I make it sound like an order for 500k worth of face masks instead of £30 a month.

Sober October
Completed it just after 9pm last night.
Pretty good time. Maybe a record for me.
I did find it pretty stressful
BDT
There is nothing Leffe.
You can feel all the bad things literally dissolving in the sweet beer.
Shopping
I need more Leffe

Hi,
I'm with Lazybones, also thinking Trump hasnt got Corona virus and is just scared of a debate he cant just shout through. The timing is too ridiculous, 30 days before an election to have to take 14 off sick.
OR
Its a damage limitation tactic by someone with an interest in him being reelected, that is close enough to have been scooshing infected saliva over all his stuff. I'd say Don Jr and that batshit woman hes with could have got wasted and thought that was a good idea.
OTTM
Played 5's last night, still not sure why 10 sweaty men from 10 households can get together and kick each other but Im taking the human contact where I can find it. My badass team were taking the piss out of the other loser team calling them Miyagi-do for most of the game, We were ruthless and won by a few goals so it didnt backfire. The downside of football these days is that its impossible to get really drunk afterwards with only 1 hour drinking time before pubs close.
Games: No

End of the week, and I am very much looking forward to opening a bottle of red* this evening.
You see, dear readers, I've realised that my alcohol consumption has increased quite a bit since lockdown. Whereas it used to be the case that I'd drink at the weekends, and have the odd beer or glass of wine during the week, I've been going through half a bottle of wine a night, every night. Not good.
I know most of you a career alcoholics, so that probably doesn't seem much. But I need to cut down.
So I'm now going back to only drinking at the weekends, but probably via Butterfield Diet rules - It's Treat Day, and a you can drink anything, and I mean anything...
Cheers!

How do you drink half a bottle of wine? By passing out before you can finish your 5th bottle? |

How do you drink half a bottle of wine? You stop when you realise you've drunken enough for one night. This may be a foreign concept to you. |

It's just half a bottle of English elderberry wine (I don't imagine you actually drink foreign wine) is equivalent to about 1 -1.5 pints of normal beer. It's not exactly decadent levels. |

Obviously Amipal is living a much healthier lifestyle than me. But is he happier?

That's it. "… we have a small favour to ask. You've read 6 articles in the last year. And you’re not alone; millions are flocking to the Guardian for ..." So in June I thought I will chuck them £100. Mainly for the old Chatterbox.
Just now "… we have a small favour to ask. You've read 7 articles in the last year. And you’re not alone; millions are flocking to the Guardian for ..."
I could've bought 7 fucking books for that; only a couple of those articles were worth reading ... I will never read the Grabdian again...

Just discovered a deal on Amazon where if you spend £15 on kindle books, they give you a £5 voucher. 3 books later, 2 of them with maps and I got the latest Dresden Files for half price. Or quarter price, if you take RRP into account.

Better to subscribe.
For £99 a year it removes those horrid yellow things and you've saved £1.
I was giving the £10 a month and kept getting those up. I switched to a subscription paying less and the ads disappeared.
Crazy.

Or really get in behind the VIP rope by becoming a 'partner'. You get a hemp bag, a couple of free books you don't want, and endless spam inviting you to online events with Owen Jones. 4 stars.
