Genuine..I’m not on Tik Tok but am curious what all the outrage is about if shut down. SM platforms spring up these days like a fly you can’t swat. Will the ban make more room for the tech bros in the US to own eyeballs? Were the tech bros the ones too pathetic not to stand outside in the cold?

Men never fail to amaze me. The doorbell went just now and I thought “Great! Our Sunday lunch guests are here.” No.It’s some guy to pick up the lawnmower my husband decided to sell on gumtree just 2 hours ago. Sure darling. Have him come round NOW to check it works and help him load it on his Ute

I’ve just watched Say Nothing start to finish and .. crikey. Strong recommend.. great bit of telly. (Even after I’d left England for sunnier climes in the mid 90s and watching Gerry Adams’ rise to respectability I always thought “Um wot?!”ALLEGED.) The phrase ‘political wing of the IRA’..oxymoronic?

Anyone else fed up with @qantas-official.bsky.social to the back teeth or is it just me? Their system of flight credits feels like a Ponzi scheme. I will NEVER fly with them internationally now I’m back living in Aus. Never. Vent over. #qantas

How amazing was Robbie Williams on The Graham Norton Show performing Rock DJ… the bloke is incredible! Just a break from political commentary coming at you from all and every angle

The bravery of Georgians 👍🤞 (Orange Felon will look away and President Keto Boy will be happy with what’s going on)

For those of you still in the throes of Christmas, here is my message to you. Boxing Day hangovers feel worse than regular hangovers.

Tomorrow I’ll be making the mango, passion fruit and white chocolate trifle ready for Christmas lunch. So obviously sherry doesn’t work with those flavours so here I find myself “taste testing” a Malibu & coke to confirm that coconut-flavoured rum is going to work instead….

If it’s not in that trolley, it’s not happening for the rest of 2024. Airports could learn something from the queueing system Woolies has implemented, I’ll say.

A bit of research this morning to try to learn about US government shutdowns and why they happen, and good grief it’s alarming and depressing in equal measure. Seemingly unique to the US and as far as I understand it (please anyone jump in and educate me) just a sh1t game of political football.

Finally! Some grown-up lawmakers!

A benefit of insomnia is that it becomes a double breakfast day. Hokkein noodle leftovers at 2:30am, and normal breakfast of toast and coffee at 7:30am and surely that’s something most people would endorse?
