The Fish

My Instagram is private, so fuck you Piers.

You find those kinds of pictures way too easily.

Managed to re-book my second Vaccination, so you can all relax.

Yep

Well then. Shit just got real.

They should be favourites given their stature, but they're in terrible form; 1 win in 9 and that 1 coming against 10 man Plymouth who finished the season in 18th place. They should get past Lincoln, but Oxford and Blackpool are both in better form.

Wife is regularly asking me to do DIY shit round the house, despite 8 years of evidence that I cannot do many DIY tasks to any decent standard. I'm keen to try, but when shit inevitably goes wrong, I should have a little "This is not what I'm good at" sign. I'd make one myself, but, y'know...

That's awful mate, you been onto the insurance company? There must be precedent for this?

Last time I went it was a 45 minute wait, for a 3 minute procedure. There's no fucking way he's staying still for 3 minutes, let alone 45. Don't get me wrong, one of my sisters would happily drive 2 1/2 hours to look after him. However, she can barely get off the sofa, so there's no chance she could sprint around the park making sure he doesn't run full tilt into the frame of the swings. There's also the very real danger that she'd drive him to MacDonalds "as a treat" then plonk him in front of Peppa fucking Pig while she eats a Family Box. We're usually well-stocked for babysitters, but both sister-in-laws will be busy, local friends are busy too. That weekend just happens to be the one everyone's made plans. Just bad luck.

IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU RAYVIN. GOD!!

Wife is off to London to stay with sister-in-law who should be having a child cut out of her any minute now. Which means I'm looking after the little lad. No one available to babysit.

Been offered the second jab on a day that I can't make it. No idea what I can do about rearranging or postponing or whatever. There only seems to be an option to book, or opt-out?

What's that now?

What're we thinking, a Month? A fortnight before some scrote daubs "Dillens a grass" on Robbie's shorts.

Asked a journo last year about it [quote]Do you know Luke Edwards at all? If you do, is he this antagonistic in real life, or is this just a twitter persona he’s cultivating? Jul 21, 2020, 6:52 PM Bit of both! But he’s a really sound guy and does get info from genuine places. You’d like him in person![/quote] I'm not sure I would like him in person. My sister-in-law's boyfriend, lets call him Mark, is antagonistic, pointlessly controversial, and he's a right cunt. Edwards is either doing this for attention, or it's his actual personality. Either way, him and Mark aren't invited to my 40th.

Tried to buy some DOGECOIN on a whim about a week ago, but HSBC won't let me.

I'd love to see the spreadsheet essembee has made for all of this.

Had no idea, so had to google; Hull Peterborough Blackpool Sunderland Lincoln City Oxford Charlton Portsmouth Ipswich Gillingham Accrington Crewe Milton Keynes Dons Doncaster Fleetwood Burton Shrewsbury Plymouth AFC Wimbledon Wigan Rochdale Northampton Swindon Bristol Rovers Sunderland being the biggest team of that lot isn't something I'd be shouting about, if I was them. Like being a healthy bloke on a leper colony; you won't be for long.

Can't see anything but a comfortable win for the crisp shaggers.

Whereas I'm still on blue nun with an Alka-Seltzer lobbed in.

Champagne up the arse and an overinflated sense of self worth?

Takes me back.
