My post-lunch snooze will be interrupted today by the need to go outside and attend an appointment
- it's shit when that happens.

What mildly inconvenient shit that happens to you are you struggling with today?

Work.
I mean, they give me money for it, and I really don't work very hard, but it's still an inconvenience. I'd rather be at home shitting and wanking simultaneously.

GYBE decided to re-draft The Dead Flag Blues following initial feedback.

(, Wed 12 Mar 2025, 13:48, archived)

re-draft include a further 20 fucking minutes of feedback in

I mean I don't think I've actually heard it for nearly 30 years, but all I remember about it is grumbling and endless droning feedback.

Second worst gig I've ever attended
Worst was 'Tortoise'. Walked out halfway through and went to the Cock Tavern instead

"Trouser to engineering... it's broken again!"
"Did you try the stick?"
"Yes, it made it worse."
"Fine... we can schedule maintenance next week."

LIFE HACK: Pissing in the screen wash tank will work just as well.
This also works for oil and brake fluid top ups.

I hear it's great for descaling your kettle, maybe someone here could give that a try.

Well I have to go to work in just under 2 hours
So that's a bit of a pisser

Plenty of time for chimping* until then.

Not with the mental phoning me every 5 minutes
Because someone knocked on the door, but she didn't answer it, but it sounded the same as another knock she didn't answer several months ago, so it must be the same person, who MUST have come to give her the money her arsehole of a boyfriend promised to give her. She's only been waiting for 2 years.

She must be some sort of genius if she can tell who it is just from how the knock sounds.
Or, you know, the other thing.

Hey wizard I notice you're less of a butthurt snowflake than Mr. Tea.
Maybe you could grow as a person and stop doing racism. I dunno about him, he drives a Swastikar.

I try hard not to be racist IRL.
Very occasionally, a pseudo-racist phrase from a comedy show (Avenue Q, "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist Sometimes") is the funniest thing I can think of to post in resaponse to a comment on b3ta.

If you have to try very hard to not be racist IRL, that must mean you have pent-up racism just bursting to get out!
Disgusting.

To some extent we've all been socialised with racism baked in,
you can just read an old school history or geography book to see what used to be ordinary, normal, even revered views on other cultures, not to mention all the racist tropes in popular fiction.

A mistake people make is to assume they don't need to correct any of that obsolete/plain wrong information, and they resent people who rightly point out that yes they fucking well do.
