How to tell if England have scored in the football without watching it. ⚽

-

Euro 2020 is happening but being played in 2021 (sod you covid mixing all the dates up) and it is well under way. The England team is somewhere in a grid or something like that and they kicked the ball well so that it went in to the other sides net so much that they get to play even more matches with other people who also kicked a ball well, if it’s not clear by now I’m not much in to football all I know is they won and they are doing “OK” because they won another match.

I have been trying to avoid watching it out of boredom for sheer lack of anything else to do and desperately trying not to sink to the level of becoming one of the lads drinking in a covid safe pub. I choose rather to sit at home and ignoring it all while watching some pointless videos on YouTube to pass the time while I come up with something to less mundane do to with my life. I was mildly startled by a loud cheer coming from the surrounding houses where I live.

At first I had no idea what all the commotion was and only due to my lack of anything else to do I thought an investigation was needed. Had the police just arrested somebody and an enraged (or joyous) family members come out to “help” or had somebody fallen over to be followed by a chorus of “wahayyy” that was until I remembered I was not in a pub or back at school again where such things would happen. I walked over to the window which I thought the sound entered my dwelling from, fiddled with the blinds trying not to be that one guy curtain twitching in the neighbourhood who has to know every little thing that happens outside their house which is so totally obvious they might as well just open the bloody window and get it over with, I digress, I didn’t see anything so I dragged myself back to my dreary existence as before on to hear another overexcited cheer!

That’s when I remembered that football was on, an explanation oh how fun my life has become … I managed to count four separate excitement increases in volume in my surrounding environment that evening so that means four goals to which my ears did not deceive me, I was right when I checked the news that evening only to be blasted with the number every five minutes!

So the take away from this is if you want to have a tiniest bit of national pride but can’t be bothered to watch a full game of football, just open the window and keep an ear out. Yeah life hack!

TikTok, WTF even is this?

Now being somebody who has grown up in the age of the internet and witnessed all the mightily social media giants from their earliest days of conception to watching some of them fall to the land of lost to memories I can happily say I have seen it all. That was until TikTok reared its ugly head, TikTok is something else! There has always been attention-seeking individuals before the age of technology but platforms like YouTube and Twitch have given them centre stage in front of millions of people. We have all seen content lacking vlogging video of some socialite in sun soaked California just keep waffling on about this and that to which will have added no value to the watchers life what so ever. TikTok on the other hand just seems to be full of self-centred morons sharing their life as if they are royalty while dancing and acting like some forgotten “Z” list singer lip-syncing on MTV. For all those who have not ventured in to this new-fangled social media fear not for I have done i

Park in the bloody lines! 🚗

I don’t know how many time I have seen this and I’m sorry if this turns in to more of a rant but this gets on my nerves so much, if you can’t park with in the bloody lines then you should not be bloody driving! It seems no matter where I go I will be plagued by those who never developed the primitive skills as a young child, colouring in between the lines. Now a child I could excuse, as they are only a small innocent proto-human without the fine dexterity commanding only a crayon with no risk what so ever to anybody other than the mild peril of treading on a dropped crayon on the floor and its accompanied clean up! But driving a car this is something you do require the skill of keeping it in-between the lines, you are now driving a massive heavy lump of metal which can go at least 70 miles per hour which requires training to use and drive legally. It’s pretty much night and day   Now to my latest run in with those who didn’t manage to pick up the foundations from their youth of par

It is cold! ❄

  Well it is that time of year again, the skies darken early, nobody can be bothered to go outside, the weather forecast makes you wonder why we did not learn to hibernate and hide away. For these who are not from the fine isles of Great Britain there is one thing that you will work out very quickly on your first visit, everybody talks about the weather. This is the way we break up the awkward silence and start with a bit of small talk. What is the only thing that everybody is experiencing at the same time and can be used as a sure fire way to start a conversation, well it is the current weather. During winter there is no exception to this, its cold wet and horrible what better conversation starter do you need? In one normal average day, I had a chain of people telling me how cold it is outside from the postman and the checkout operator in the petrol station to the receptionist at work and my colleagues. All that everybody mentioned was how cold it is! My other half has a habit of
