In my defence, it was just a brain fart.

Not the best day
Today wasn’t the best day. I know this because I just found myself singing:
Fuck yourself, fuck yourself Yeah you can go and fuck yourself
to the tune of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face.

This Modern Age
If you’d have told me three years ago that, this morning, I’d be lying in bed with a hangover, watching an hour-long BBC nature documentary in high-quality streaming wirelessly to my mobile phone, I’d only have believed one of those things.

He's got white here and white here
A friend of my sister moved to a new house with her husband and two-year-old son a few weeks ago. A few times since then, her son has woken up in the night and either started shouting for his mum and dad, or has come into their bedroom, talking about “the man” and asking who he was.
The parents had no idea what he was talking about. The only description they could get from the kid is...

Bus Stop Dilemma
For the last two weeks, my car has been sat in a couple of garages, waiting for parts so that it can be fixed (the windscreen wipers stopped working — don’t ask).
During that time, I’ve been getting the 7.45 a.m. bus to work, which means leaving home at about 7.30 — over 30 minutes earlier than normal.
But the thing is, I’ve got used to getting up earlier and...

Dear The Spider Who Lives On My Car
fireland:
Why did you decide to live on a car? To make your web? We have a garage and eaves and whatnot seriously like six feet away and there’s plenty of space for spiders to hang out there and just do their thing. Other spiders have done this successfully. But instead you decide to “kick it” in my side mirror and make webs all over the driver’s side door. And so a) your whole construction gets...

The BBC’s coverage of Formula 1 this season has been brilliant. One of the major reasons is that they’ve really opened up the behind the scenes access to not only the racing side of things, but also the presenting side.
Jake Humphrey is now the face of the BBC’s Formula 1 coverage and his blog on the BBC website and his Twitter are both interesting reads.

Dirty Chai →
A chai latte with a shot of espresso. I’ve never heard of this before, but I want one.
Snitch!
Them: You've been drinking.
Me: No, I haven't.
Them: Yes, you have.
Me: I haven't!
Them: You have.
Me: What?
Them: I can tell. The tops of your cheekbones are all red.
Me: So?
Them: And your breath smells of rum.
Pro Tip: Headphones make stuff sound WAY better...
