    There was a giant fuck off concrete block in the fast lane of the highway/motorway. I tried to avoid it but hit it at 80mph. Suffice to say my front right tire is shredded. Still could have been worse. I could be dead. I am always rushing to work. Today was no different but holy shit how did that get there!!!!

    Chicago: Alive.

    Glad to hear you are still alive.
    Can I suggest you leave for work a little earlier tomorrow, and perhaps keep within the speed limit, you know, just in case some mentalist has left their concrete block somewhere in your path again. And if all you've got from an 80mph crash is a shredded tyre you are one lucky son of a gun. Will you put a lottery ticket on for me this week please?

    Algorithms have got wind of my foxestalk rubbernecking and now I'm getting adverts for various items of Leicester merch.

    For example:

    Quoted message:

    Dress to impress like your Foxes favourites and get 30% off selected 24/25 Training Wear now! 🦊

    Although, to be fair, the comments do also feed into my rubbernecking compulsion.

    I stopped a while back. Well, apart from the odd glance.

    Are they still consoling themselves with our 'failure', subsequent PSR breach, inevitable mass exodus and subsequent relegation being FACT! ?

    Went to the dentist. I need a filling. So got to go back tomorrow for that. £150 down the pan. Kind of.

    The wholesale coffee supplier that I've been using for the best part of a decade, have stopped selling the blend of roasted beans that I like more than any other I've tried.

    Okay, that can happen. It's the having to find a replacement that's the catastrophe.

    Word.

    I had a similar problem with Snyder's Jalapeño pretzel pieces.

    Imitations just aren't the same. It's dreadful, just dreadful.

    Have they stopped making them? I was just thinking the other day I've not had a pack for ages.

    They are. I call them 'toenail clippings'. A favourite beer snack for the Tuesday night lot. I noticed that they had recently failed to appear. The toenail clippings that is, quite hard to keep footballers out of the pub after a game.

    I favour red, gold, and green, pipers crisps. Not had much joy on that front since diet/teeth issues, sadly.

    I did meet someone yesterday who announced they were several days clean from coffee. Me too, but not bloody consensually. Must. Find. Satisfactory. Beans.

    Or ar least selling via UK distributor. You can still get from elsewhere via Amazon etc if you look hard enough, but it's ridiculously expensive to do so for a heavily flavoured preservative treated bread (ish) based snack product.

    So, someone in a pub playing anything that's audible two tables down is an irredeemable dickhead, yes? Anyone want to defend it?

    You're too generous, I'd say applies next table if persistent and not just a short clip.

    I assumed next table was cretinous cunt, two tables away irredeemable dickhead, any further, still a twat, but could be overlooked if a one-off offence.

    Sounds like Simon should have chosen a better pub.
