Am feeling oddly emotional tonight. Holiday comedown fucking *sucks* and I'm also jetlagged to shit.
It's just not goddamned justice that you spend so much more time planning and anticipating a holiday than you actually spend on one
I hate that it feels like you're a million miles away when you're away from me
But I know that I'm gonna see you again
And it'll feel like it does
Like nothing's changed, because nothing does
Maybe with them, but not with us
No goodbyes, just see you later 🩵🇺🇲
We're now sat at the Buffalo Wild Wings in JFK and I just had a Fireball, worst thing I've ever drunk 😂
When the captain said the dashboard is flashing a warning light like it's a car I found that oddly endearing. Plane needs an oil change 😍
We're delayed because the plane's dashboard flashed a warning light, captain is updating us regularly on the progress of the mechanic. Guy in front of me just said "this is fucking ridiculous" it's like my dude let the mechanic take all the time he needs lol, we don't want him to be wrong!!
I really don't like complaining about flying, the fact that we can is a miracle, but we've been delayed on the plane for longer than it was supposed to take to get there and it fucking sucks
When did having Facetime conversations out loud become a thing and how do I make it stop?
We took a day trip to Savannah, GA yesterday and that was ace too
Final night in Charleston. Really not ready for this week to be over, tbh
It has always been obvious to me that his plan was to be PM for long enough to force through a bunch of stuff that will make him and his wife even richer, then inevitably lose the election, resign as an MP and retire to California
If you ever find yourself wondering why Rishi Sunak wanted a job that pays £120k per annum
Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murty rise up rich list as fortune increases by £120m
Sunday Times rich list shows couple’s fortune soared while millions of Britons struggled with cost of living
www.theguardian.comEveryone in South Carolina and Georgia has been SO NICE, southern hospitality is a thing and it is fucking ace
At a karaoke bar and they've let someone go twice before everyone's had their first turn 🗑️
Spotted in Charleston today. If every church had values like this, the world would be in a much better place 🩵
One of my favourite things about being in the USA is the adverts for medication that list all the potential side effects over a montage of people frolicking through a field of daisies
I remember when a cannibal took my sister to see a Russel Crowe movie.
Gladiator?
No, I really miss her.
Peter Weir is the goddamned don. There are few better at soundtracks and getting performances out of leads
Wrapping up another phenomenal visit to the city that never sleeps with a dive bar crawl of Williamsburg. God damn do I love NYC, it lives in my heart and I couldn't possibly visit enough 🗽
We stumbled across The Portal last night on the way back to our hotel. Someone in Dublin was flipping the NYC side off and another guy in Dublin was like come on man, knock that off. It was very sweet
I now make it three (3) groups who have emerged from their rooms having normal-volume conversations
Do you know who's the absolute worst? People up early in hotels who talk in the corridor. It's 430am shut the FUCK UP
Too busy, too crazy
Too hot, too cold
Too late, I'm sold
Again on NYC 🗽
Off to NYC and Charleston for our seventh anniversary. Starting as we intend to continue 🍻
What's your favourite black and white movie?
What is your favourite black and white movie?
Kind Hearts and Coronets, obvs.
Out of office is on
It is difficult for me to have any outlook other than "we are all, with the probable exception of the absolute richest, utterly utterly and irreversibly fucked"
World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target
Exclusive: Planet is headed for at least 2.5C of heating with disastrous results for humanity, poll of hundreds of scientists finds
www.theguardian.comYou are going to tell me that the rampant transphobia Starmer does nothing to stop is about concerns for women's safety then in the next breath welcome this piece of shit who prioritised her husband's dignity above justice for his victims? It's insulting and sickening
This is before you even get to Elphicke's extremely chequered past, including when she publicly defended her husband when he was charged with sexual assault
It is of real, genuine concern to me that there is apparently plenty of room in Starmer's Labour for those who until it was expedient to their career were happily propping up the most right-wing party in living memory, yet anyone to the left of fucking Mandleson must be purged/run out
Greatest phone call scene?
Slowly but surely, Clementine is becoming more and more adventurous. We've had her for eight months and can count on one hand the amount of times she's come downstairs; this is her last night
I don't even know how one would find out they're into it. And you're right, proper "they walk among us" territory
There was an episode of my favourite podcast "Swindled" about this and it's the only one I haven't listened to. My mind is not capable of accepting that this is a real thing that exists. Some utterly sick fucking psychopaths in this world
He looked utterly bewildered and stared at me like a fish out of water. Clearly accustomed to doing whatever he wants and treating people like shit when he thinks he'd get away with it
Watched this TikTok this morning and thought about the time I told some cranky old fuck to "pay for your petrol and go" when he was getting right up in the petrol attendant's face about how long he had had to wait, having yelled "FUCKING GET ON WITH IT" from the line

Audience behaviour has been bad for my entire life but has fallen through the fucking floor post-pandemic. The only cinema where there's a decent chance of well-behaved audiences is the Everyman, which is 15 miles away and also 18 fucking English pounds per ticket
We are doing "why aren't people going to the cinema anymore" discourse again, are we?
No I am not going to spend £20 on tickets, then drive and pay £5 for parking, then another £15 if we want something to eat or drink, only to have someone who I ask to stop talking call me a "prick"
Went on a 4 mile pub crawl yesterday and now have an absolutely stinking hangover. Here's some pictures of Cosmo from the day
One last time in this ridiculous season 🩵 play up the motherfucking sky blues 🩵
The tiny exceptions like... Your dad telling you that you forgot your project? You could teach him the exact same lesson AND give him the project!!?
