Ex-NHS. Would like to be an ex-Evertonian. Still falling off bikes. Dog and cat person. Not had enough of experts, but had enough of them on the internet. Life is luck.

Currently in a live chat with my bank and they asked to see proof of my income. I said I've been banking with you for 10 years and my salary goes in every month.... so can't you check that? No.

Coke is largely seen as a harmless middle class weekend treat. I've worked in addiction services and I think it's worse than heroin. I don't think people have got their heads around about how of a much a societal problem this stuff is. It's a horrible drug. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Bought a new watch and hid it for days while I built up the courage to tell Mission Control. Finally confessed, braced for carnage. Her entire response: "I thought you said you were skint." Am I in trouble or have I got away with it?

Moyes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Textbook away capitulation to a Champions League team. Pathetic, predictable and tedious. Him saying Everton performed well there last season, and lost, sums him up. He doesn't want to win.

Got asked a specific clinical question by marketing about 6 months ago, and I gave them an answer that they didn't like. So they went away and consulted with a load of other clinicians and came back with exactly the same answer as they got from me.

Dear British Fireworks Association, Please shove a lit Catherine wheel up your arse and walk into one of your client's large storerooms before the end of October. Regards Mr Jinks

Quite often players get testimonials again teams where there is a bit of an attachment. But with the current bad blood with Burnley, I wonder who Micheal Keane's testimonial will be against in 2 years.

Flicking through the channels on a Sunday and Sky Arts is usually worth a watch - but it's a Cliff Richard gig. And by God, he's even creepier than the Kitty stories about him on the internet.

I don't drive my car much, coz I'm a work from home hermit, but fook me, Shell V Power is 204.9p a litre and I'm getting low 20s mpg 😳 Think I'll ride my bike to the petrol station next time I fill up.

The Holy Trinity at Sainsbury's tonight 1) plastic bag recycling 2) Brita filter return 3) used batteries dropped off Plus £9 off with a £60 spend on my Nectar - and I spent £60.20* Baa Bar 1 - Sainsbury's 0 *However, far too close for comfort, must admit I was shitting it at £57

Work sent me a new laptop and collected my old one. They've not installed a VPN so I can't access anything remotely useful. The fella who can do this for me isn't in until Wednesday which means I can't do any work until then.

It’s a point more than we got there last season, so I’ll take it. However, from minute one we were far more interested in not losing the game than we ever were in trying to win it. And that will forever be my issue with Moyes.

The French made a short film about what could happen after all immigrants would follow the ‘white, angry old man’s’ advice to go back where they came from.

My car's first MOT, failed on rear tyres, advisories on the front - I said have you got the right car, it's done less than 9000 miles? He said it's quite common in these days, especially for customers who drive like Mad Max. Asked about 4 new Michelin Pilot Sports 😳

I've been donating monthly to the #RNLI for some time now. I've met a few of them and along with a lot of first responders and mountain rescue, they're amongst the best of us. And I wish I was still on Twitter to tell the Gammons that every time they antagonise the RNLI, I send them another tenner.

Claude - show me a video of someone who wants to be somewhere else.

There's a name for animals that babysit babies that aren't theirs. Scientists call it alloparental care, and it's everywhere from meerkats to elephants.

You know the bit in Jurassic Park where he talks about the velociraptors testing different parts of the electric fence? This is what we're seeing now with far right protesters, only they've turned the electric fence off.

I'm away so not been to or watched the game. Catching up on it now on Bluesky and having to read a load of bollocks from Utd fans - and fook me, I think they're even more delusional and detached from reality than Kopites.

I'm off work today, This Morning on while I potter around, and we've got 4 lay people taking about AI in GP-patient interactions. FFS call someone who knows about this subject because it's important.

The last time Everton signed a decent striker was 13 years ago. The last time Everton signed a decent right back was 17 years ago. The last time Everton signed a decent left back was 8 years ago. New stadium, same old Everton. New board, same old incompetence.
